Tonight.

NUW YORK, Oct. 16.—Except for a fuw echoes in the form of banquets to •world's series heroes the 1914 baseball soason passed into history Wednesday •with the national commission's settlements with players, officials and club ciXviivrs concerned in post-season activities. Owin's to postponement on a»cccunt of rain, a game remains to determine the city championship of Chicago. But the representatives of the .commission in that city have been instructed to effect a settlement for the triumvirate as quickly as possible.

The national commission, at a meeting in the "Waldorf Astoria hotel Wednesday, instructed Secretary John Bruce to draw checks necessary to square all accounts with those concerned in the world's series and the New York city championship series. Bruce mailed to Manager George Stallings in Boston a paper valued at ?73,139.45 which is supposed to be ^shared equally by the members of the new world champion team. Representative Graham, who superintended New

York's series, met Fred Merkle and Roger Peekinpaugh at.the Giants' Fifth avenue building offices before noon find turned over checks of $9,537.91 and $6,358.61, respectively.

Graham departed for Philadelphia at 1 o'clock with a check for $48,759.03 which he was to turn over to Connie Mack at Sliibe park, where the former world's champions assembled at 3 o'clock for the divvv. It was underetood, though no official confirmation could be made, that Jimmy Walsh, of Philadelphia, and Pete Daly, of the New York, will share equally one portion c-f the Inter's end of the world's series and the local scries. This agreement was made at the time Mack traded Daley for Walsh.

Barnstorming Will Begin. As soon as the Chicago series is terminated the 1914 season will be most officially wound up. Of course, there is the tour of the all-stars teams of the National and American league, led by Frank Bancroft and Connie Mack, respectively, which will start from Chicago Saturday. And there will be no. end of barnstorming in Cuba and elsewhere. But these are no ebneerns of the national commission.

AH but the Chicago clubs and the Boston teams have already disbanded. The citizens of the city of culture gave an elaborate banquet to the newworld's champions last night. Troy, N, Y., plans to honor Johnny Evers tonisht and most of his teammates have promised the Trojan to go along to help him out. George Stallings will come to this city for a few days' visit the latter part of the week ori the way to his plantation at Haddocks, Ga. By •Sainrda.v then, the 1914 baseball season will be about as good as forgotten.

An informal meeting of the national ccj••mission was held yesterday at the Waldorf Astoria, though none of the members would acknowledge/that anything but routine was discussed. It Is believed, however, that the recent activities of the Federal league came in..for consideration. It was rumored about town today that Walter S. Ward, the business representative of the Brooklyn Feds, had interested three Giant plavers, Tesreau, Fletcher and Burns. This story President Harry N. Hempstead stoutly denied.

Both V/esidents Ban Johnson and John K. Tener, of the .American and National leagues, are inclined to brand the latest Federal enterprises as a dying effort to avoid the inevitable.

Only Handful of Fans Greet Fallen Champs on Return From Boston.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Ocfc 15.—Only a. handful of loyal baseball enthusiasts were at the railway station to greet tne former world.'s champions when the latter arrived Wednesday from Boston, where they had lost their title to the Braves. There was a long line of disappointed ticket holders, however, at the department store where were sold the admissions for the third game that would have been played here had the Philadelphia team won a game in Boston.

More than $44,000 was refunded to the ticket holders. Many speculators purchased tickets at a premium up until the fourth inning of Tuesday's game, which cut into their profits on this series.

Joseph Leslie Bush, who pitched on Monday for Philadelphia, was married shortly after his return to Miss Sylvia E. McMahon, of Bordentown. N. J. The ceremony was performed at St. Columbia's Catholic church. James Walsh, one of Bush's team mates, was best man. Bush and his bride will leave for Chicago today, where they will join other members of the Athletics' team, who are to tour with the All-Stars. Three witnesses of alleged grafting on the part of the policemen at the.preliminary sale of tickets appeared Wednesday before the 'committee which' is investigating the charges. They told of seeing uniformed policemen receive money from persons desirous of. obtaining places in the line of ticket purchasers.

BRAVES GIVEN BANQUET.

Boston Fans Show Appreciation Players for Their Achievement.

After the banou^t many of the Braves left immediately for their homo cities. They were each driven checks Wednesday for S2.70S.S6 by a representative of the national commission as their share in the world series receipts. To most of them this meant about $5,000 for their season's work.

Capt. Johnny Evers found the season a big one financially, his income the past six months having been more than $40,000, including a bonus of $25,000 for his signature to a contract. $10,000, in salary, a ?3,000 bonus for finishing in first place and his world's series receipts.

The winter will be spent quietly by most of the men. Several vaudeville agents were at Fenway park Wednesday endeavoring to sign up some of the stars, but it is understood that none weVe successful. "Rabbit" Maranvllle. who was on the stage last winter, may return this year.

Manager Stallings said last night that the statement by Minister Peze.t, of Peru, made at a dinner here that the Braves would tour South America, was a mistake. It was due, he thought, to the fact that some members of the Braves had been asked to play with the New Tork Giants on a proposed trip there.

Sox and Cubs Finish Today

CHICAGO, Oct. 15.—A cold, drizzling rain which started five minutes before the game Wednesday caused the postponement of the seventh and probably the final game of the series for the city championship between the local clubs of the American and National leagues. The series remains tied at three and three.

A fairly large crowd had gathered, but when the umpires, after deliberating for some time, called off the game, there was a mad rush for the tlckct windows to have the rain checks redeemed. Several of the officials announced that the money would not be refunded, because the games are in the hands of the national commission, hut that tickets for the seventh game could be used when the weather permitted the playing of the game. When President Comiskey heard of this he promptly summoned his secretary a.nd told him to refund money to all who wished to redsem their rain checks.

The work of refunding started immediately, with half a dozen lines of several hundred each. The game will be played on the American league grounds today, weather permitting.

CUB CATCHER ARRESTED.

CHICAGO, Oct. 15.—Jimmy Arches*, catcher for the Chicago National league baseball club, was arrested on a warrant, chanting assault, taken out by George E. Wolfson, a rug manufacturer. who says the ball player assaulted him at the close of Tuesday's city series game between the Cubs and White Sox.

DEPATJW COACH DRIVES MEN.

Bogle Displeased With Methodists' Showing Against Franklin. GREKNCASTL.E, Ind.. Oct. 15.—As a result of the game with Franklin, in which the DePauw football team barely got away with a victory, Coach Bogle has been sending his men through the most strenuous practice of the season. This consists of workouts in the rudiments of the game and scrimmages in which the regulars are pitted against the scrubs and about four other players thrown in with the latter for good count. The ball is placed on the tenyard line and the first string men are required to score a touchdown in a given number of downs. Great stress also is being laid on getting down on the kickoff as this department of the game proved to be a weakness of the Methodists in the recent game.

JACK DILLON PINCHED

ST.

The bout was scheduled for ten rounds. The trio from Indianapolis was arrested at the request of the manager of the club at which the fight was staged. The police declared they would hold Dillon and his manager and second for investigation by the chief of police today. Throughout the bout the fighters were hissed by the crowd for their lack of aggressiveness.

TEREE HAUTE TRIBUNE

WILEY HAS TRIO OF STARS ON SICK LIST

Barnes, Hoff and Foulkes Nursing Injuries, and Outlook for Coalmont Tussle Is Not Bright.

By. R. A. Wcrneke.

It seems as though Mr. Jinx has taken a firm hold on the Wiley football squad and is doing his duty with a vengeance. Three of Coach Wann's light-hand men arc on ihe hospital list and the squad has thinned down to a mere handful of hopefuls. "Butch" Karnes suffered a badly sprained wrist and a broken finger in scrimmage with Rose Pul'y last night, while Hoff is laid up with- a wrenched shoulder. Foulkes has a tenacious "charley hone" which has been troubling him for a week.

Ccacli Warm has suspended three men for failure to report for practice, and the outlook is rather serious, with the Coalmont game only two days off. Wiley will probably use line pluntdng tactics in preference to the open style of play Saturday, as it is rumored that Coalmont's line is weak, especially on the left side. Anderson, fullback, has pvoven himself a "bear" on line plunges and much faith is put in this husky lad.

The Wiley line is also in good shape. The men held the Poly backs to few gains in last night's scrimmage and the snuthsiders can be depended on to put up a gay old scrap day aften tomorrow.

C. MACK LAUDS BRAVES

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Oct. 15.—For the first .time since the- defeat of the Macks by the Braves, Connie Mack broke his silence today. -''I have nothing to say abput the work of my own players," said Mack. "The reason for this is that I do not want to. detract o/ie iota from the wonderful playing oi the Braves. They are deserving of all the praise in the world and -anything I might say about my own team might take away seme of the credit due Boston. I have never seen any team at any time give such a wonderful exhibition in a series. They made plavs that were really marvelous and their mental alertness was something wonderful."

Wabash Has "Bear" Story

CRAWFORDSVILLE. Ind.. Oct. 15.— Wabash's hopes of defeating Rose Poly decisively were given a severe setback Wednesday when less than fifteen men reported for practice. The number of injuries that have developed since Saturday's game with the Quakers is alarming. Caulwell, Kistler, Turner, Capt. Rowe, Stonebreaker. Hurd, Coffing and Settles are out of the game for the present with strains, sprains, bruises and abcesses. With practically the second team in against the Engineers it is hard to predict just what will happen.

BOSTON BATTERY ON STAGE.

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.—Hank Gowdy. crowned king of pinch hitters, and Dick Rudolph, hailed by the fans as the greatest pitcher of modern times, the two constituted wonder batterv of the miracle Boston Braves, will appear next week in a comedy act. entitled '•Harpooning the White Elephants, or We Fusted Them in the Nose," at Harnmerstein's Victoria theater. It is rumored that their weekly stipend will be $2,000 ea.ch. Gowdy may sing.

Evers Balks Federal League Efforts to Arrange "Outlaw" Series for Title

BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 15.—Federal league efforts to get the world's champion Boston Braves to play a series with the Indianapolis Federals have come to naught.

The last endeavor to biing the two teams together in another post-season series was defeated Wednesday afternoon, when Captain John Evers, of the Braves. informed a, Federal league agent, that under no circumstances would ho consent to the plan. In turning down the agent who made the proposition. Jvers atso refused to accept approximately $17,000, the amount the representative of the Federal league told Evers he could have, "before a ball was pitched," in the proposed series.

According to Evers' story, the agent toid him that the money would be placed to- his account immediately, providing Evers would get the balance of the Braves 1o play.

Evers' refusal to accept the offer, and with it about'eight times as much monev.as he made'as bis share of the world's series purse, is baf=ed upon his desire, as he pur it, "to be cn the square with his employers." He said to the man who represented nimself as the agent of ihe Federals: 'Mf you offered Bie $££,000 it would

make no difference to me. I will not consent to violate the rule of organized t-ase ball, that prohibits a team that has competed in a world's championship series from playing any more that season. We are not permitted to play, except as individuals. The reason for the rule is that a team, p.fter having been in such a series, breaks training and would not be in a position to play good ball. Tha result would be that a mediocre club might beat it. It is a good rule and was made to cover all the players in the big leagues, for all of them at least hope they will be able to participate in p, world's series at cne time or another. Therefore, if that rule is good enough for three or four hundred players, it muse be good enough: fer me. I am an employee of organized baseball and so long as I am I will be loya to my employers' and wil". live up to the rules they lay dowii.

No amount of persuasii could sway Captain Evers from this position. The agent, for instance, intimated that he had talked to other plavers on the Boston National league team and that most of them seemed willing to play, providing Evers would say the word. But Evers refused to "say the word," and there the matter ended.

Sellers, dean of the faculty: Dr. Struby, dean of the school of pharmacy, and Coach Robbins, of the baseball team, became seriously ill here early today. It is thought they are suffering with ptomaine poisoning from food served at dinner in the college dormitory last night. Nearly every member of the football team, which was to play Kings college today, is ill.

CARTER NOT LIKELY TO PLAY AGAINST WABASH

Poly Captain Discovers Dislocated Elbow to Be Serious Affair—Engineers Determined.

By Hll«l.

In spite of the fact that Captain Joe Carter, cf Rose, is still unable to don a suit and get into action with the rest of the squad, practice has continued with unabated zeal and the Poly men seem to be in excellent spirits Carter expected to be in shape by Saturday, but he has discovered that a dislocated elbow is a more serious matter than he thought. If he enters the game with Wabash the chances are that, with his arm in bad condition, he will be put out of the game again and, this time, for perhaps n'ore than a few days. Coach Huebel is undecided at present whether to risk his best man in the coming game and take chances of disabling him, or to keep him out of the contest and save him for the remaining games on the schedule.

But one thing is certain—that is, if Rose is to have any sort of a chance at the secondary championship this year the Rose mon will have to bring home the long end of the score in the Wr.bash scrap.

Perhaps, it appears, with the two severe beatings that the Engineers have already received this year, that Rose in line for state honors is no better than a joke, but taking into consideration the fact that the team was composed of new men, who were amazingly green, it was wonder that the heavy Eastern" Illinois bunch, ran away with the score.

That the team has developed wonderfully was shown last Saturday, when the Engineers, pla.ying one of the best teams in t£e country, Notre Dame, put up Bueh a display of fighting spirit and dogged determination as to win the admiring comment of the coach of the famous eleven.

Wabash is evidently expecting a hard fight and they will not be disappointed, although the odds are greatly with the wearers ol' the scarlet.

The fact that the Crawfordsville team mauled Earlham last week to the tune of 24-o and did so with a lineup composed of subs and freshmen, shows that the upstate institution has a team to be feared, in &pit.e of the rumor that Wabash football hopes for this season were gloomy. The showing against Purdus the week previous was not bad.

The Rose-Wabash game last year, played On the Rose campus, resulted in a 6-6 tie. Wabash has practically the entire 1913 team this season, and in addition, a crowd of promising freshmen.

The question is—will Rose fighting spirit prevail or will the odds be too heavy?

Notre Dame Ready for Yale Clash

NOTRE DAME, Ifid., Oct. 15.—Coach Harper drove .his charges until it was too dark to see the ball in the last practice before the squad leaves for Yale. A drizzling rain fell throughout the practice. Twenty-three men compose the squad that left today at 10:20 over the Lake Shore.

The men who make the trip are: Capt. oJnes, Keefe, Lathrop. Fitzgerald, Bachman, Ward, Sharp, Holmes, Voelkers H. O'Donell Eichenlaub, Coffall, Berger, Pliska, Kelleher. Bergman, Duggan, Finnegan, Larkin, Elward, Mills King and Baujan.

The lineup for the Yale game Was announced today by Coach Harper as follows: Elward, left end: Jones, left tackle Keefe, left guard Fitzgerald, center Bachman, right guard Lathrop, right tackle Mills, right end Coffall, quarterback Eichenlaub. fullback Finengan, left halfback: Kelleher Pliska, right halfback.
