WEDNESDAY EVENING,
Plank Tells Truth
About Federal Deal
Special to The Telegraph
Philadelphia, Nov. 4.—Within the
next two weeks more sensational de
velopments are expected In baseball
circles. The Connie Mack waiver gos
sip is still strong. There is no deny
ing the fact that Tughey Jennings
started more trouble than he realized.
Coombs is on a fishing trip in Maine,
Bender is in Willlamsport and Plank
is at his home in Gettysburg. Plank
said;
"It was a completes surprise to me,
and I knew nothing about it until a
friend of mine called me from Phila
delphia. I should have thought that
Connio would have told me something
about it, particularly since I told him
a few days ago that I had received a
strong offer from the Federal League.
I was man enough to do that, and
Connie might at least have done the
same towards me.
"I gave tho best I had to the Ath
letics and would like to be able to say
the club treated me as well in return.
I feel that 1 have at least a couple of
years more good pitching left in my
old wing, and the fact that the Ath
letics want to release me will not make
the Federals believe that I am all In.
If the Feds think that way, I don't
have to worry, for I have got mine
stowed away in farms and the bank,
and 1 don't have to play ball any more
unless'l want to.
"Even now 1 am not sure that I
shall play ball with the Federals, bu
shall play ball with the Federals,
but if I do. you can bet that I shall
give them the best I have in return.
So far as Coombs and Bender are con
cerned I don't know anything about
them, and their business Is their own."
FORDHAM WINS VICTORY
OVER GETTYSBURG TEAM
Special to The Telegraph
New York, Nov. 4.—Fordham de
feated the heavy Gettysburg team on
Fordham Field yesterday by 21 to 2.
Yule, Dunn and Regan, the Maroon
back field trio, each scored a touch
down, while the visitors' score came as
the result of a safety when Dunn was
tackled behind his own goal line.
Although fumbling figured in the
first touchdown, it was the marked im
provement of the Fordham back field
that counted in the result. Displaying
a series of double passes that were run
off with speed and power, Dunn, Yule
and Kane cut off tackle or circled the
ends for the gains that spelled victory
for Fordham.
The locals obtained twenty-thre*
first downs to nine for Gettysburg and
gained four times as much ground.
Moraulti ran the team in perfect
fashion and uncorked forward passes
at opportune times. Twice with the
ball within the Gettysburg twenty-yard
mark the forward pass was worked
successfully.
CANOEISTS MB
GOOD TIME ON OHIO
Expected to Be in Cincinnati Yes
terday ; Make Twenty-six
Miles a Day
Traveling at the rate of twenty-six
miles a day on the Ohio river the
quartet of canoeists who left here in
early September, arrived at Ports
mouth, Ohio, last Friday afternoon,
covering a total distance of 125 miles
in less than a week's time.
Many hardships and cold weather
are the experiences told by Jack Lav
erty, one of the adventurous four, in
a letter received by the Telegraph
this morning. The four youths who
are paddling to Frisco are Jack Lav
erty, D. D. Sampson, L. C. Arns
burger and Charles Gayman: Lav
erty's letter in part is as follows:
"We left Pomeroy Friday, October
-3, and traveled twenty-four miles
that day, gliding with swift current
caused by heavy rains. We arrived
at Gallipolis at noon and bought a
few days' supplies. Leaving Gal
lipolis we encountered a heavy north
wind, which at times caused waves
to leap over the broadside of our
green 'ships.' At sundown that night
we reached a little burg that looked
like a lumber pile and were com
pelled to camp there. Everything was
so slow that we did not learn its name
until the next morning when we met
an inhabitant who called the town I
Eureka.
"We left tho settlement Saturday
morning at 7 o'clock and with a stiff
north wind blowing we paddled about
fifteen miles. We slept in our tent
that night with a temperature near
30 degrees. A quarter of an inch of
ice was frozen on our water bucket
the next morning. We laid in the
tent all day Sunday and left Monday
morning whei. the water was calm.
"We broke our record to-day trav
eling thirty-five miles to Cattlesburg,
Ky. Arriving there we erected camp.
A chilly north wind was blowing, but
wo stripped and plunged into the cold
drink. And believe me it WAS cold!
We remained in the water just three
minutes.
Traveling twenty-seven miles to
day we arrived at Powellsville, 0., and
pitched camp for the night, and by K
o'clock snow was falling. When I
awoke the next morning at 3 o'clock
I started a large fire and warmed my
shivering timbers vigorously. We ar
rived at Portsmouth Friday evening
at 5 o'clock and pitched camp for the
night, when the temperature raised
considerably. The bunch crossed the
river and visited a carnival.
We expect to arrive in Cincinnati
on election day and expect to stay
there several weeks. We will make
efforts to o"btain detachable motors
for our canoes which we will use in
traveling against the stream in the
Missouri river."
"Dad" Phillips Tells
of First Glove in Use

San Francisco. Nov. 4.—"Dad" Phil
lips, who is employed as binder by the
Leland-Standford University "Press."
claims to have seen the first finger
mitt .ever used in a baseball game.
Over 40 years ago "Dad" says he plaved
on the same team with A. G. Spalding
nt Rockford, 111., and tells of the ori
gin of the mitt as follows:
"In one of the games that our
Rockford squad played we were at
tracted by the sound of the ball as
it clapped into the hands of the man
on first base for our opponents. Of
course, none of us wore mitts in I
those days, and wo never thought
such a thing would be practical. But
this man on first base always caught
the ball with a loud pop, and several
of us noticed it, though we could see
nothing unusual about his hands.
"However, after he caught the ball
each time, he pressed something into
his left hand. After the game Spald
ing and I went over to see what he
had in his hand. After some protest
he showed us. It was nothing but a
piece of bent metal around which he
had sewed some leather. It seemed he
had injured his hand, and did not
want to be kept out of the game,
which was for the championship of
the state. So he had made this mitt."

FREDDY WELSH HAS
HARD BOUT NEXT WEEK

LOOKS LIKE PEACE
BEFORE SNOW FALLS
Western Dopesters Tell How It Will
AH End; Two Clubs in
Each Town
Special to The Telegraph
Chicago, Nov. 4.—"Baseball peace
is in sight," declared one of organized
baseball's high officials here yester
bay. "It is also a fact that Charles
11. Weeghman, president of the Chi
cago Federal League club, is negotiat
ing for the purchase of the Cubs. Tho
West Side team will be transferred to
the North Side Park and Chicago will
have only two teams—the White Sox
and the Cubs."
President Gilmore of the Federal
League is authority for the following
statement:
"The Federal League is willing to
discuss peace terms. But it will never
be reduced to a minor league. There
Is territory enough to warrant three
major leagues. Now is the time to oc
cupy it and protect it from any fur
ther invasion."
The end of the baseball war is be
lieved to be very near. Garry Herr
mann, chairman of the national com
mission; Charles Weeghman, one of
the big men of the. independent or
ganization, and others prominent in
the national game, are working upon
the details. This information comes
from an Inside source. It may have
heen sent out as a "feeder," but it in
dicates the way in which the wind is
blowing.
There are to be three leagues, but
no city will have three teams, which
means that the Federal League team
In Chicago will be moved elsewhere
and the St. Louis Feds transferred.
Every club owner in the Fed or
ganization is to be taken care of. If
he is in conflict with organized ball he
will be given new territory. Among
the cities mentioned as being in line
for continuous baseball are Detroit,
Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati!
The Pittsburgh team of the third
league will remain there and play
when the Pirates are out of town. The
American Association team is to be
moved from Cleveland, possibly back

One day I was in a country store
when a sweet little four-.vear-old girl
came toddling in and bought a nickel's
worth of candy. A little kitten rubbe#
against her leg and purred. She lali
her candy down on .a box to play witif
the kitten. When she tired of play,
she went to get her candy again. But
it was gone. Some one had stolen it.
Her little face became sad. Something
seemed to choke her. Big tears wel
led up in her eyes and rolled down
her cheeks. Poor little thing! I felt
so sorry for her that I gave half a
stick of it back to her!—Lippincott's.
