Ed Barrow Refuses to Confirm Deal
of Merger of international
and Association.

Baltimore. Nd. Oct 2.-Thoush I'd
Barrow is saying little about the pro-
posed merger Of the International
League and American Association. the
association promoters anxious for
this consolidation are not letting the
grass grow under their feet Nor are
they hiding their intentions.
The indianapolis. Louisville and
Toledo cluos already have served
notice on President Hickey, Of the
association, that they intend TO secede
from the association and affiliate with
international clubs. Baltimore, Buff
falo. Newark and Toronto are ex-
pected to take similar action In their
circuit within a month

Weeghman's old Federal League
plant, on the North Side. and in De-

It Is doubtful IL the major leagues
will permit a third club in Chicago.
They had three clubs in Chicago and
three in St Louis during the Federal
League war and the combination did
not work we'll There probably would
be no objection to another cf6b IN
Detroit, provided IL had no conflicts

President Hickey. of the American
Association. refused to confirm re-
ports OF the secession OF Indianapolis,
Louisville and Toledo today.
II only care TO say that IL the club
owners Of indianapolis, Louisville and
Toledo have decided to secede, as re-

should be prepared" said Mr.. Hickey.
TT is true that We have been discuss

plans now would be premature

FITZ LEFT NOTHING
In FINANCIAL LINE

New York. Oct. 2.-when Robert
FitZsimmons passed away yesterday
he left nothing in money or property.
Yet he earned a fortune in the ring.
Fltz settled a house in Bath Beach
and many thousands OF dollars on his
second wife, Rose Julian. and her
children. He got $1,000 out of his two
battles with Maher. 1900 from his
scrap with Hall. about $1,000 from
his fight with Corbett at Carson City,
5000 for whipping Dan Creedon. SIS
0o0 for two bouts with Sharkey. $40
0o0 for two affairs with Jeffries, Sl0.-
600 for the tussle with Rubin. and
so on. Fftz probably took $4,000 our
of the ring and made $5O.0oo out OF
moving pictures of his fights. He
made many unwise investments and
was a mark for Adventures and
bunco men. He also was generous to
a fault.

allow a fair profit to the intermediary be
tween maker and buyer.
The army cnmmi~~arat has undertaken
tn supply 100000 pairs Of boots month
from thep resent time and to double that
output very soon. Az thc average demand
for national footwear" W. estimated 10 be
