lent behind the scenes than announced
officially there can be little doubt
Little punches of Federal promoters
could be seen in heated debate late last
night at the Biltmore. While Gilmore
has the support of the majority of his
colleagues as seen in his reelection
the fact that he accepted a long term
of office at this time augurs fight in
the opinion of the experts. It is be-
lieved the president and his chief of
staff are trying to force out one or two
undesirable cities. for the common
good. Kansas City seems one stumbling
block.
That there is no immediate hope for
peace is admitted frankly by the Fed
erals. Organized base balls offer was
minor league rating for some of the
Federal clubs Ban Johnson has gone
shooting with Charles A. Comiskey.
These two are the real. powers of the
American League. Harry Hampstead
of the Giants voted himself a vacation
for the week end. The only organized
base ball men in the city yesterday
were Frank Farrell, Ed Barrow and
John A. Heydler. who remained all day
in their offices.
Organized base ball has comforted
itself with the belief that the Federal
Leagues unusually early annual meet
ing presages financial difficulty in the
organization. This grain of comfort
comes only from the fact that a con-
ference SO soon after the close of the
season has a strong smack of desire
for publicity.

terday. Further proof of his colleagues

shown in their addition to the presi-

nounced that John A. George of In
dianapolis, former treasurer, had re-
signed.
Gilmore declared last night that his
league would continue next season as
1t had acted in the past. He said there
appeared to be very slight chance of
compromise with the organization. His
confederates realized that peace would
be far more advantageous to all than
war, but that his henchmen were de-
termined to waive personal advantages
rather than permit individual promo
ters to suffer. Gilmore, who seems. to
have been somewhat sobered in spirit
as a result of the honor of a long term
Of office, was most conservative in his
remarks

peace. 1t is equally untrue that we

BIG ED FOR LEADER.
Chicago Fans Expect Walsh to Man
age Sox Next Year.

CHICAGO. October 24.-Followers OF
the White Sox fully expect Ed Walsh,
the veteran spitball pitcher. to succeed
Jimmy Callahan as the 1915 pilot of
Comiskey's pets. Callahan is through
as a manager. but he is still connected
with the Chicago club. and will spend
his time looking over likely minor
league stars and also acting as vice
president Of the club.
Comiskey has been on still hunt for
an available manager, but could not find
a suitable one outside his own fold. Ed
Walsh. the big spitball hurler. whose
days as a headliner are gone. had been
considered by the "Old Roman" for
some time. and he has now reached the
conclusion to give the burly splitter q
trial as q leader for one year.
While Walsh is Of rather surly dispo-
sition, he ought to make q good leader,
for he was always a fighter for vic
tory. and would do much to inspire the
6ox clan on the field by his grabbed
aGgressiveness. The Sox have been en-
tirely too placid when on the field Of
action to suit Comiskey, who has not
had a real leader since Fielder Jones
parted company with him back in 1907.

GOLFING HINTS.
By ~STRAIGHT DRIVE..

BE UP.-One of the fundamental
principles of sound golf is always
be up" The good player would be
twenty feet over the green than
continually ten feet short of 1t.
The necessity of being up runs
through the game from the first
tee to dropping the last putt on
the last green. Any one who will
take the trouble to sit down beside
the approach to almost any green
during a tournament will find the
vast majority of buffers or average
players are short both on approach
and puts
The old expression on never up,
never in," applies to present-day
putting just as forcefully today as
it did one hundred years ago. I'm
less the ball gets up to the cup it
cannot possibly go in.
By steady practice with a de-
termination to always be up or
over nearly any average golfer can
cut off from nine to eighteen
strokes per round when things are
going his way. Always seek to get
your ball six inches or foot past
the hole and you will be surprised
how your putting improves.

NEW YORK, october 24.-Justice

There is perhaps some consolation in
the fact that the Athletics and Red Sox
both of which finished ahead of the
Nationals in this years race, lost heav-
lily, the Athletics being $4,000 behind
when the season was over and tie Red
Sox having to shoulder a $4,000 loss.
Too much stress should not be laid on
any of the utterances of President Gill
more of the Federal League. There
Gilmore has given out stories which
have been dfsproved that he is not
classed among those who tell Federal
League facts.
Only recently Gilmore told Chicago
newspaper men that conditions might
force him to do a lot of prcvaricating
during the next two months or So This
was a warning for the scribes not to
take everything he says ssriouslJ.
1t was only a week ago that Gilmore
in a statement in Chicago insisted that
there had been no peace negotiations
with organized base ball, Yet that same
day Charley Weeghman, the owner OF
the Chicago Feds, told Of his confer
ence with Garry Hermann in Brooklyn
anent a peace agreement.
Under the circumstances il will oe
well to take everything which comes
from Gilmore with a Gr:lin of salt.
Many of his vaporings are for pur-
pose and may not be based on facts.
1t is. of course, not to oe supposed
that peace in base ball can be brought
about in few hours. 1t is going to be
an intricate undertaking to straighten
out the present situation to the satis-
faction of all concerned. There are so
many interests involved that even un-
der favorable conditions it would re-
quire weeks to esta b1ish peace.

The Mammoth Looking Good.

The old Mammoth property
 was bonded last June by Young brothers, owners of the Great Western Copper company of COurtland, for the sam of SlOO, ,OCO. They are now working about thirty men, doing develop ment work, and, from present indications, expect to purchase the property. The ore occurs along a rhyolite and quartzite contact. the width of the mineralized zone running from seventeen to fifty feet. The
 main value occurs as gold with a small amount of copper silicate and lead molybdate. The old company, an English con cern, operated the property up to about fourteen years ago, since which time the property has been in litigation. The old, concern sank an 8OO-fOot shaft and erected a mill on the San Pedro river about three miles distant from the mine. A 50 stamps mill was erected and was in operation for something like fifteen years. About 125 tons of ore was treated per day with values running from S4 to $50 per ton. During the long stretch of idleness of the property the mill was totally destroyed by fire. The old tailings have been work ed over twice by leasers, first by cyaniding and last by special process to recover the lead mOlyb- date. The present owners claim to have blocked out an immense tonnage of ore averaging about $1O per ton, and the property looks as though it was destined to be a large producer within the next two or three years.- Arizona Silver Belt.
