WEEGHMAN ADMITS HE
PURCHASED A BARGAIN
Chicago Owner Would Have
Paid $4,000 More for
Famous Battery
SOME INSIDE STUFF"

CHICAGO. Dee 10.
President Baker, OF the Philadelphia
National League Baseball Club, would
have been the richer by $4,000 this
morning If he had only held out for
more money when President Weeghman.
Of the Chicago Cubs. offered to purcha Sc
the greatest battery in baseball.
President Weeghman upon his arrival
here yesterday admitted that he secured
great bargain in the famous battery,
purchasing them for $4,000 less than
he had planned to spend for them. This
confession makes 1t unanimous, for the
baseball public admitted thai he had Sc.
cured one of the biggest bargains on the
market today the day after the deal
was closed.
The Chicago owner gave the Windy
City fans some "nside stuff" regarding
the purchase of Alexander and Kilefer.
II went into the New York meeting last
fall and made this speech to my fellow
magnates in the National League:
"I have s250,0Q0 to spend for ball
players. IL any one of you is I'm need
or money and has some players to dis
pose Of you know where you can come
That was a bait In short time
Mr.. Baker. of Philadelphia. nudged up to
me In dark corner and said, Charlie,
Id like to see you for few minutes
If you will consider deal for Alex.
ander and killefer, | will give YOU five
minutes, as ! am very busy. Don't waste
your time on any other suggestions
"Tll see you later said Baker. He
did and he mentioned a price the next
day which was s25, 200 less than stood
ready TO pay for the two men. We
shook hands Oh II. and ten days later
Baker came on pd we closed the trans
action In less than two minutes. There,
you have the history of the whole deal"

BOSTON, Dec. ls.--Lew Tender. of
Philadelphia, demonstrated his ability in
his initial bout In this city with Jack
Russo. OF New orleans, another new
conner, in nve rounds Of twelve-round
bout at the Armory last night Russo
substituted for Johnny Dundee, OF New
York, Referee Larry Conley stopped tn,
nght. as Russo was clearly outclassed
and i was only matter OF Few more
punches on the jaw and Russo would
have succumbed
Russo was cautioned several times for
hitting Tender low. and It was the con-
sensus Of opinion tina, he YES trying to
lose on a foul Tender fought with his
right hand out like knockou, Brown. or
New York. used TO do lie jabbed his
opponent with his right and hooked his
left to the BODY and Jaw. The ph!ladcl-
phia boxer also proved to be an artfIl
dodger and he escaped from many OF the
vicious lunges OF his opponen, by side
