12 WILLARD-FULTON FIGHT IS OFF—GWINNER MAY BE NEW CLEVELAND LEADER GWINNER MAY BE NEW NAP OWNER No One Willing to Back Somers; Franchise Is on the Market Special to the Telegraph Cleveland, Ohio, Dec. 30.—The prin cipal matter before the special meeting of baseball magnates of the American League here yesterday was the settle ment of tiie Cleveland club's fate. Prior to the meeting, which was set for 12 o'clock, George P. St&ele, repre senting the bankers' committee, which is handling the affairs of C. W. Som ers. owner of the local club, announced that the Cleveland holdings must be sold. He said no proposition for con 'tinuing Somers in charge would be considered by the bankers. President B. B. Johnson and ciub owners appeared to face the necessity of finding a buyer for the club. John son said that If the club is sold, as seems certain, it will go to outside capitalists, as no one has been found in Cleveland who is willing to bid for it. Prominently mentioned as possible buyers among baseball men here are Ed Gwinner. owner of the Pittsburgh Federals, and Harry Sinclair, liqui dating agent for the Federal league. Those present at noon for yesterday's meeting were President Johnson, Own ers Ruppert and Huston, of New York; Navin, of Detroit; Comiskey, of Chi cago. and Lannin, of Boston. During the afternoon Roger Bresna- Jian, of the Chicago National League club, made an offer to Somers for the <'leveland American Association team, which is also among Somers' proper ties. Bresnahan represents Toledo capitalists, who propose, to move the team to that city in case a deal is closed. |\ a Ask The UttjL Merchants •111 or llwj We Work | ■fe As To Our S Ability Wc will gladly furnish you 8 with the list, but here's a I good plan: Notice the clean- P est windows— WE "DID" THEM.

MANAGER JONES CALLS OFF FIGHT Match Was Not Taken Seri ously by Sporting World; Willard May Meet Moran New Orleans, La., Dec. 30. The thirty-round fight for the heavyweight championship of the world, scheduled for March 4 in this city between Jess Willard and Fred Fulton, of Minne sota, was definitely declared off here late yesterday by Tom Jones, Wil lard's manager, and Tommy Hums, local promoter, who was a partner of Doniintck J. Tortorich in promoting the fight. When Manager Jones arrived he was quick to grasp the situation. With the lines of rivalry clearly drawn, the promoters pulling in opposite direc tions and the newspapers lukewarm to the proposition, Jones could not see Willard's purse of $32,500 forthcom ing. There was no disposition on the part of the promoters to deposit that sum in advance, so Jones could not help but think that the champion might have his training for naught.

They Arrived last night, a few hours after their dramatic runaway wed ding in New York, and have been in seclusion all day in a suite at the Hotel Dennis. After spending 12 hours virtually prisoners. Dona and his Titian-haired bride admitted their identity over the telephone. Later with her arms clasped about, her boyish-looking husband's neck the Countess, who claims to be worth $300,000, quoted poetry from one of her own books to prove how happy she is in her freedom from the mad house, where Harry Thaw spent many years, and how proud she is of her youthful husband. Woman Confesses She Killed Her Husband Lancaster, Pa., Dec. 30.—The police last evening arrested Mrs. John H. Kisenberger for the murder of her husband, early on the mornitjg of De cember 18. at their home. The day following Eisenberger's | death the coroner, acting on the wife's I statement that, she had been aroused by a pistol shot and found her hus ! band dead in bed, his pistol by his side, rendered a verdict of suicide. But the suspicious circumstances led to an investigation, and the woman's arrest followed. She soon afterward confessed killing her husband. A boarder of the family, Henry Weber, is held pending an investigation, thoußh Mrs. Eisenberger exonerates him from all knowledge of the crime. She says she was impelled to the act by her husband's brutal treatment, but the police think it was commit ted to secure the S7OO insurance on his life.

Postpone League Meeting Until Peace Is Certain; Special to the Telegraph New York, Dec. 30.—Announcement was made last night by John Heydler, secretary of the National League, that the reconvened annual meeting of the National league, scheduled for Cincin nati, January 4. has been indefinitely postponed. The general impression in baseball circles is that the meeting between the national commission and the Federal League peace committee, called for Cincinnati. January 3, may hold over for several days, so as to make Jan uary 4 unsuitable for the National League meeting. It is believed the officers of the National League will wait until the Federal League players have been ap portioned and all peace details' straightened out before reconvening the annual meeting. Griffith Ready to Trade; Includes Chick Gandil Special to the Telegraph Washington, D. C., Dec. 30.—Man ager Griffith, of the Nationals, de clared his willingness yesterday to turn First Baseman Chick Gandil, Second Baseman Ray Morgan and Pitcher Joe Boehlins over to the Cleveland club if such action will benefit the Indians. Gandil will be delighted to play in Cleveland. Morgan and Boehling have always done well in Cleveland. Ban Johnson is in favor of the plan. Grif fith says the question of payment for the players will be easily disposed of if Somers wants them. News From Sportland Summer baseball is looming up in the west. It is said nine colleges have agreed to play the game, and permit players to earn a vacation. In ten years the death toll in all Fred Fulton is of the opinion that he will eventually meet Willard, but not on a long battle, sports was 943. During the present year there were 70 fatalities, two of which were in this vicinity. Guy M. Ommert was hit by pitched ball, and Roy C. Kistler of Marysville, was hit on the head with a ball. Both died in the Harrisburg hospital. The Camp Hill five last night won! from the Trojan A. C., score 35 to I 31. Both teams played a brilliant game. A. M. Frumburg, of New York is after the Cincinnati National League franchise. National League umpires will go south in the Spring and train with the teams. Agents Arouse Fear in Teuton Seamen Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 30. —Recent seizures of German and Austrian sea men on American vessels by British and French authorities are causing trouble among seamen in this port. It became known yesterday that agents are now active in efforts to I frighten German and Austrian sea ' men engaged in coastwise vessels trading out of this port. According to Shipping Commis sioner A. R. Smith, these men, prompted by ulterior motives, have gone aboard coasting vessels and in formed German and Austrian seamen that they are liable to arrest at sea by officers from foreign cruisers, bas ing their arguments on the fact that several German and Austrian seamen have been taken from American ves sels in the vicinity of Porto Rico and at Barbados. This has caused many seamen to leave the vessel just as she was ready to sail, and some vessels have been delayed replacing the men who left.

LOCAL TOSSERS IN GOOD SHAPE Play Heading Eastern Leaguers Tonight; First Midweek Game and Dance The Harrisburg Independents are in the best of condition for their game with Reading Eastern League club to-night. The long scrimmage practice against tlie Central High team was a great help to the locals. This scrimmage between the two teams will probably be a weekly oc currence, as Captain McCord of the Independents is coaching the High school boys, and these practices will aid him in correcting the weak points of both teams. "Andy" Sears has guaranteed to bring his regular line-up to Harris burg for the game to-night, and the fans will see one o f the best teams in the country in action. Boggio and O'Donnell or Kerr will play the for wards. O'Donnell in the two league games against Camden on Christmas scored eleven field goals. If he plays forward to-night, the local guards will work hard to hold him to a few field goals. Miss Sara Lemer's Society String Orchestra which played for the Perm State dance Monday night, will again furnish the music for the dance after the game. The two teams will prob ably line-up as follows: Rcuriing. Ha rrisburg. O'Donnell (Kerr) f.Rote, f. Boggio, f. McCord, f. Haggerty (Kerr).c. Geisel, c. Morris, g. Ford, g. Sears, g.

The postponement of the Willard- Fulton fight caused no surprise In ring circles. Willard is the recognized heavyweight champion, but he is not a strong public idol. His refusal to take on any fighter for a year, or even par ticipate in any engagements with prob able comers, decreased his popularity. When he picked Fred Fulton, prac tically unknown as a fighter, it looked as if he was again going after easy money. The public is tired of enrich ing lighters who refuse to fight.
