Demand Old Debt.

AS final stroke for his tribe, Old
McCook, traditional chief of the Utes
scattered over the Uintah basin, will
endeavor to have collected for mis-
three bands $3,115,00O, which he de-
clares is due them from the federal
government, according to reports
which were received at Indian offices
in Salt Lake yesterday.
He is reported to have conferred
with certain Denver attorneys in ref
erence to ways and means of having
the big fortune drawn down for his
tribe Though 100 years of age he is
still 1.-THE and well preserved and
possessed of an unusually keen mem
ory.
AS one of the chief leutenants of
Chief Ouray during the famous Meek
er massacre in Colorado, McCook
served as sort of mediator between
the whites and the Indians who were
at war. Federal troops were in the
field and rather than engage in
long, tedious fight against the Utes,
who had succeeded in waging many
successful onslaughts on the blue sol
diers, it was agreed that hostilities
would cease in the three bands of the
tribe moved back into the Unitah basin
in Utah.
According to Chief McCook, the In
dams promised to do so in considera-
ton of the payment of $125 an acre
for all the lands surrendered in the
westward movement by the Indians.
A treaty was signed to this effect,
declares McCook, and he has been
able to show federal records to verify
the claim.
Indian officials admit, however, that
the claim of McCook is true, though
Cato Sells, Indian commissioner at
Washington, has not seen fit to sur
render the money to the Indians. The
three bands of the Ute tribe which
settled in the Unitah basin after
agreeing to leave Colorado are the
Southern White River Utes, the IN
compaghre Utes and the Taquinch
Utes. In all, they number about 100
at present and few of these are
reported to be in fairly good circum-
stances.

The Westerner was full of fight, while the Jerseyite pre- ferred to catch punches rather than deliver them.

 In the second round the bell saved the Jersey1te Fifteen seconds before time was up Miske landd 8 terrific left to the pit of the stomach and followed is up with two hard right hand swings to the jaw They made Weinert wab bly, and he was in dire distress when the gong sounded.
 Again in the sixth round Weinert was in serious trouble. A series of lefts to jaw and rights to body doubled him up, but by clinching and holding he managed to stay until the bell gave him a breathing spell
 Miske did all of the forcing and nine tenths of the leading.

TROUBLE ANTICIPATED
Circulation of Worlds Series Tickets Which Starts Tomorrow, Will Not Bc Without Incident.


 Chicago, Oct 3.-Tangible results in the contest between President L. A. Comiskey of the Chicago Amer jeans and the national commission on one side and Chicago scalpers on the other are expected tomorrow when the delivery of tickets to the World $ series to successful applicants Is made. Notices have been sent to the fortu- nate ones asking them to call at the south side park and receive their reservations.
 Scalpers, too, have informed their patrons that they will be able to de- liver tickets tomorrow, but their high prices indicate an inadequacy or supply.
 One box seat for three games is quoted at $50 by the scalpers. The face value of such a reservation IS only $15 for three games. Grand stand seats for three games which cost $450 at the box office are quoted at $15 by the spectators.
 President B. B. Johnson or the American league is in favor of paying in Liberty bonds the players in the world series instead of handing them the customary bank checks. He said today, however, that he was opposed to investing the national commissions share of the receipts in Liberty bonds as proposed by President Au- gust Hermann of the commission because he believes the money will be needed to defray current expenses.
 A national commission meeting Is to be held here Saturday morning of which details of the worlds series games will be disposed of.

Yanks Trim Mackmen.

New York, Oct. 3.-It took Harold Ruel the rookie Yankee backstop, quite a spell before he inserted his first 1917 hit into the American League records, but Herold injected it into yesterdays Yankee-Athletic game on the Polo Grounds at a most appro- priate moment. It rolled off his bat in the eighth inning and knocked in the tieing run. A few minutes later Ruel galloped home with the run which won for the Yankees by score of 3 to ?. --
 The Yankee victory may mean noth- ing to Yankee fans, but it means that Connie Mack will spend his third win ter in the league basement. Connie had hopes of landing as high as seventh this season, but in order to have done so he would have had to beat the Tanks three straight. Can any one imagine the Connie of former years ambitious to finish in seventh place?

MCGraW Starts First String Meu
 Against PhillieS, and Wins

Philadelphia, Oct. 3.-With their worlds series lineup in the field, in- cluding Herzog, who played a great game at second, the Giants captured the first half of a double header with the Phillies yesterday afternoon in impressive style by 5 to 2 in a twelve inning struggle.
 McGraw called on his rockies to win the second game, but they failed the Quakers being victorious by 8 to 2 despite the fact that some of the regulars played to the finish.
 Eddie Collins and Kid Gleason of the White Sox watched the games.
 Pol Perritt pitched in a manner to create the impression he will give the White Sox considerable trouble when he gets into the game for the championship. He held the Quakers down tight and would have shut them out in nine innings but for an unfor- tunate error by Fletcher in the ninth session.. as a result of which the home team scored two runs and tied up the game.
 The Giants had scored a run in the fourth on singles by Herzog and Kauff and Zim's sacrifice fly, and got another tally over the plate in the seventh on singles by Fletcher and Zimmerman and Robertson's sacrifice 1 fly. The scores:

HAYES WILL PITCH

Clever POrtSider of Meridcn, Conquer
 or of Pioneers Two Weeks Ago, Will
 Again Hurl For the All-Stars.
 Manager James Lynch of the All stars, has received word from Lefty Hayes of Meriden, that he will be glad to come to this city again next Sunday and tackle the Pioneers in the second game of the inter-city series. The Silver city hurler pitched his mates to a 1 to victory over the fast south end team two weeks ago, and is con- fident that he can repeat next Sunday. A big crowd is expected to witness the contest, and arrangements are be- ing made by the management to se- cure the returns of the Worlds Se- ries at the close of each inning.
 It is reported about the city that the Poll team of Hartford will come here this month to meet the Pioneers. This fact certainly should not meet with approval of any lover of good sportsmanship, after the low tricks played by the Capitol city aggregation on two different occasions. Should the local team decide to go through with the present plan and meet the Hartford team, the fans of this city who journeyed to the Ellis street dia- mond last Sunday, should show the manner in which they feel the affront, by remaining away from the game. On all sides it is the consensus of opin- ion that Manager Luby will do wise act If he washes his hands of such club as Polls who have shown that keeping their word is not to be con- sidered.
