Smith, who is to referee the Gotch-Hacken- schmidt wrestling match here on La- bor day, went to Humboldt, Towa, to consult with Gotch about the rules. Gotch's delay in coming to Chicago necessitated the referee’s trip west and as a result of Smith’s journey the last possibility of a squabble at the ringside probably will be eliminated. Word from Gotch’s camp was to the effect that the lowa grappler is in splendid shape, and the tidings from Hack’s quarters were equally optimis- tic. Gotch, it is possible, may be in Chicago almost as soon as Smith re- turns, for his advisers on the local |* end say any minute may see the break up of the Iowa camp and a|* I shifting of the scene of work to a® Chicago gymnasium. BASEBALL WAR THREATENED Scrap Between National Commission and A. A. Is On. Cincinnati, Sept. 1.—In a finding | minus all its and ands, and as plain | as it is firm, the National Baseball commission today not only rejected | every demand made upon it by the! American association, but went fur- ther in stating that if the American | association decided not to operate un-| der the rules of organized baseball that teams would be placed in every city on that circuit. While no mention of the league to do battle with the American associa- tion was made, yet it was implied to an extent that could not be misunder- stood. The American association is given until Sept. 10 to give an an- swer to the secretary of the commis- sion and upon his answer will hinge the question that now stands out par- amount in the minds of baseball men, namely, “Will there be a baseball | war.” In its finding, the National Com- mission took particular pains to place the brunt of the worry on the shoul- ders of the American association, and it is now up to this body as to wheth- er or not there wil lbe a war. Presi- dent Thomas Chivington said: “I intend to call a meeting of the American association in the very near fniure, and until this matter is taken up by my league I cannot say what will happen.” McKenzie has been playing fine ball at first base for the Pittsburg Pi- rates. Umpire Evans, of the American League, was a sub on the Cornell baseball team when Hugh Jennings was coaching the squad.

Manager Fred Clarke is hitting the ball in the regulation way. The old Pirate is working like a young phen- om just breaking in the game. With their managers, “Red” Dooin and Roger Bresnahan out of the game on account of injuries, the Phil- adelphia Quakers and the St. Louis Cardinals are surely in tough luck at this stage of the pennant fight. SPITBALL PITCHERS Cy Morgan, One of Connie Mack’s 8 outhpaws. The spitball pitcher has won many & game, but it is a question whether has won any more for having de- veloped the spitball. Maybe he has, but pitchers of the first class who don’t use the moist curves and who are just as capable as thelr damp de- livery contemporaries are too numer- ous to mention. Such pitchers as Ford and Walsh have done wonders with the spitter, but with their physique, knowledge of pitching and natural ability wouldn’t they have been fully as effective in the long run had they stuck to regular methods of serving slants and shoots? Anyway, it is a striking fact that in the biggest of all baseball prizes, the post season series for the world’s championship, spitball pitchers have played but a slight part. As a matter of fact they have not been very prom- inent on pennant winning teams ot either league, and since 19083, when the present world’s series began, the only spitball pitcher who has figured in a world’s series is Ed Walsh of the | Chicago White Sox. Walsh took part In two of the games the White Sox won from the Cubs, and as much as any one man helped win the prize in 1906 for.the American league; but he is the only one of the anointed ball set who ever cut any figure in a world’s serles. Cy Morgan helped the Athletics win the pennant last year, but Mack didn't use him at all in the games in which the American leaguers gave such an artistic and thorough trimming to the pride of the National league. The spitball pitcher is not a useless unit in any whole, but he 18 by no means & necessity. % CHANCE SEES PENNANT AHEAD Says Team Will Win the 1911 Flag in National League. Chicago, Sept. 1.—Manager Frank Chance wires that he is not only in the National league race until the fin- ish, but there is no question in his mind that he will bring those Cubs across winners. ‘Which should be encouraging news to the west side fans. For while this last eastern invasion has not been the most successful trip the Cubs ever had, since they got out of New York with the hot end of the bargain, still when Chance is confident there is hope. ™ And maybe it would not be amiss to remark here what Chance thinks of the situation. He was remarking be- .fore the departure of the team on this last invasion: “If we get anywhere near an even break on this trip I think we will win,” said he. “Why?” was the natural query. “Well, we finish at home,” was his answer. “Yes, but the Cubs are not great home players. That is, they do not play wonderful ball on their own grounds,” he was reminded. “True,” said he. “But the answer to that is that the Giants do not play great ball on the road.” “But that does not dispose of Pitts- burg,” he was reminded. “Very true, but we will best the Pirates. After this eastern invasion is at an end we will be on an equal footing so far as the Pittsburg team is concerned. Of course, if we go out and lose the great majority of our games on this trip and the Pirates win the majority of theirs, then we would be handicapped. But if we can hold our own with Clarke’s crew then we will be all right.” POOOOOOOOOOOOR®G® © Fights Scheduled for Tonight, © R R R R R R R R Jimmy Clabby vs. Mike Gibbons, 10 rounds, at Milwaukee.

R R R R R R R R CRORCRCY ® BASEBALL NOTES. @ POPPOPOPOROOOOCO®S® Frank Schulte, of the Cubs, broke his home-run bat, but found another club and is once more slamming the circuit clouts. Pitcher “Wild Bill"” Donovan of the Detroit Tigers, next to “Cy” Young, is the oldest player in active service in the major leagues. Tom Jones, the former Detroit player now with Milwaukee, will coach the Michigan University base- ball squad next spring. Young Becker trimmed the White Sox in Washington but the Sox got back at him in Chicago, making twenty hits for a total of 28. The Athletics’ pitchers are now going at top speed and the team that is able to pass the champions will surely be some ball team. 5 Grover Cleveland Alexander, the sensational young twirler of the Phillies has signed a three-year con- tract with President Horace Fogel. A novelty at the Polo grounds in New York will be marble boxes. The innovation is the idea of Jim Foster, the widely known architect of base- ball arenas. Pitcher Walter Johnson, the Wash- ington star, is certainly earning his big salary at the present time. Wal- ter has the best of the American league teams faded. Dode Brinker, the fast Vancouver outfielder, will quit the game this fall and become an attorney-at-law. He expects ,to hang out his shingle in Seattle, Wash. The New York Highlanders have repurchased Pitcher Ables, the big southpaw of the Oakland club. He has been one of the wonders of the Pacific Coast league this season. TRUNK MURDERER IS TO DIE Jesse Webb Who With Woman, Killed Man for $1,900 to Be Executed. Portland, Ore., Sept, 1.—Jesse P. ‘Webb, the principal in the so-called “trunk” murder which stirred this section of the country a year ago, will be executed at the State prison early in the coming week unless his sen- tence is commuted by Governor West. ‘Webb has had two trials and an ap- peal for a third trial was denied by the supreme court. Governor West, after a careful review of the case, an- nounced that he saw nothing that would warrant his interference with the sentence of the court. Conse- quently, there is believed to be little or no chance for Webb to escape the gallows. ‘Webb was convicted of killing Wil- liam A. Johnson in the New Grand Central Hotel in this city a year ago last June. The victim was shot and then beaten to death with a black- jack and his body, stuffed into a trunk. The murdered man had ar- rived at the hotel from Spokane a day or two before the erime, in com- pany with Webb and a Mrs. Carrie Kersh, who subsequently was proved to be Webb’s paramour. Johnson had about $1,900 in his possession and it was to obtain this that the murder was committed. The evidence at the trial showed that af- ter killing Johnson the body was stuffed into a trunk, the murderer being assisted by the Kersh woman. The trunk was sent from the hotel to the railroad station for shipment to an interior point. At the station one of the employes noticed a pool of blood which had trickled from the trunk and this led to the discovery of the crime. On the same day Webb and Mrs, Hersh were taken into custody as they were returning from an automo- bile trip to a spburban resort. On Webb’s person were found two watch- es, one of which was identified as Johnson’s, and two handkerchiefs, both bloodstained. On Mrs. Kersh was found most of the money taken from the victim. The subsequent trials showed that Johnson’s death was planned by the couple with the object of robbery. Mrs. Kersh being the lure. The trial of Webb resulted in his conviction of murder in the first degree. The woman was found guilty of manslaughter and sentenc- ed to fifteen years in the penitenti- ary. ) THE DISPOSITION OF STAG HOGS Quotations for Stag Hogs Higher Than for Other Kinds. A western man has observed that Chicago quotations for stag hogs are higher than for other classes of hogs, and asks why this is so, to which the Breeders’ Gazette replies: “Packers rarely handle stags, at least the big concerns do not. The premium prob- lem is easily solved. By long-sanc- tioned custom, stags are docked 80 pounds per head; in other words, the buyer gets 80 pounds of hog for nothing. This will kill the animal and dress him. The lighter.a stag is, under present market conditions, the more he is worth. City butchers and sausage makers are responsible for the premium. They are not un- der federal inspection and can buy stags i nthe “on-the-line” category that would be condemned by govern- ment inspectors. The new stag mark- et is incidental to the high-level hog market. The lean meat is used main- ly for sausage making and the fat for lard. = Roman Cookery. The striking features of cookery among the rich Romans were: mul- tiplicity of dishes, the destruction and waste of vast quantities of mater- ial, and the absolute disguising of flavors by means o06f extraordinary combinations of highly seasoned sauces and gravies. \MAJESTIC THEATRE PROGRAM FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY 1.—Overture—*Waudalola” Miss Hazel Fellows 2.—Motion Pictures. “‘Wild Animals in Captivity”’ An educational picture that every- body will delight to see. 3.—Illustrated Song * Underneath a Wishing Tree 4 —Motion Picture “Barriers Burned Away”’ ADraaa 5.—Motion Picture “Two Overccats” A Jolly Comedy LEADS THEM ALL TS great influence extends farand wide.
