RICHMOND'S FORMER GOAL TENDER SOUGHT BY THREE CENTRAL TEAMS.

WILL ACCEPT NO OFFERS He Doubts if New League Will be Able to Finish The Season. Clarence Jessup, who is now managing the Coliseum, is being besieged with offers from the Central Polo League. Three different managements have been after him within the past week. Logansport seems to want him the worst. In a letter from one of the directors of the polo association at Logan sport yesterday, Jessup was asked to go to that city and manage the team. It was suggested to him that if he would accept the offer that the Logansport management would make trades and v.i tempt to reorganize the old Riehmond team. Jessup, however, docs 'ot look on the proposition favorably and has so written the Logansport people. , The Kokomo team, which Jessup helped out during the illness of Cuick a few weeks ago, wishes the Richmond player to take the position in front of the cage for it. Manager Barnes was here some time ago in regard to this matter and since then has written, to Jessup about it. The other team which is seeking the services of Jessup , is Anderson. All these teams are offering better money than they were willing to pay at the beginning of the season. Jessup said yesterday that ho doubted whether the Central League Mould be able to finish the season. The attendance has been unsatisfactory and Jessup thinks that the j-trenuous efforts that the different teams are making to strengthen is :m indication that the polo fans are dissatisfied in the new organization. According to Jessup's statements there will be one exhibition game of polo in Richmond this season and perhaps that will not be arranged for. He thinks that Richmond will be in a polo league including Hamilton, Dayton, Columbu3, and other Ohio towns next season. HIGH 'SCHOOL AIID T. A. P.

On Earlham's Basket Ball Schedule Buckeyes Are Very Strong. Wittenburg will take the place in Earlham's basket ball schedule that was given up by Cincinnati University. Cincinnati was scheduled to play here but as a new ruling has come up that forbids Cincinnati to play any games outside of the city .she was forced to give up the game with Karlham. "Wittenburg has a strong team and it is expected that as good a game will be provided as Cincinnati could furnish.

Over 30,000 balls are used a season by ljase ball teams in national agreement leagues. The New York Nationals used sixty dozen, irrespective of the world's series,5 in their home games. Some big league organizations, with a strict eye to economy, can get through a season with forty dozen balls, but that is below the average. The two bigfjleagues between them will use abouti 1,000 dozen balls a season. In leading minor leagues, such as the American association and the Eastern League, each club may use as many as thirty dozen pellets, the clubs of the smaller leagues using about ten or fifteen dozen apiece. SPORTING NOTES Perry Werden wants to quit base ball and be an American Association umpire. Kentucky breeders are entering liberally to the big Eastern turf events for next season. The reason Michigan is taking on Kansas next fall instead of Nebraska, is said to be the fact that the Cornhuskers insisted on playing Freshman Taylor. The New York Americans will report at Birmingham, Ala., about March 1 for winter practice. Griffith has thirty men on his list and is hustling for more. Now that Prexy Eliot, Jim Jeffries and FIbert Hubbard have given their opinions of foot ball there need be no further delay of lhat rules committee meetinig. Bob Fitzsimmons won his first big battle by defeating Dempsey in thirteen rounds and lost what is probably his last fight to Jack O'Brien in 'thirteen rounds. "Kid" Sullivan wants to meet Terry McGovern. He has posted $1,000 to go as a side bet for a match with Terry, and the winner not only take the wager, but all of the purse ottered. 'Larry Temple, the colored welterweight, who has been winning one battle after another of late, has been matched with Mull Bowsy, the Pittsburg fighter, for a ten-round contest, to take place in East Pittsburg on Jan. 12. Jabez White, the English lightweight champion, who was defeated in the twentieth round by Jimmy Britt at Frisco last year, states that he is coming back to America in the

near future. At present White is matched to fight Bob Russell twenty rounds at Birmingham, England, on Jan. 14. MYSTERY (Continued from Page 1.) ing marriage and threatening to kill both Cotton and Miss Mason in cas'e the marriage took place. The letters received by Cotton and the Mason girl are written 'in an almost illegible hand and the composition and grammar would give the impression that the writer had but little education. On the other hand the letters received by Mr. Bilks and Miss Evans are neatly written and fairly well Avoided, but there is no doubt in the mind of Superintendent Baily that all the letters are written by the same person. The following is a copy of a "notice" pinned on the door of the kitehen at the Evans home one day last week. "Notice" "Nora Mason i tell you to leave this place soon i say that you must stop going with that Cotton i say go i mean it if you dont go you will wish you had i have been letting you rest up to see what you would do i say leave and that soon i cannot stand it so take warning" "A friend to you" "i tack this on your door" In a letter received by Cotton his life w-as threatened if he persisted in paying attention to the Mason girl. This was received in September. The writer stated that he was in this city and that he would disguise himself and kill both Cotton and Miss Mason. He added that he would be safe in doing this as lie would never be discovered. In a letter to Mr. Bilks the writer said that Mr. Bilks was considered to be a friend to the colored race and that he would prove himself to be if he separated the Mason girl from Cotton. He then declared that he was passionately in love with Miss Mason and said that all he wanted in this life was his "sweet little girl." In another part he referred to her as his "baby." To add to the mystery of the affair the letters are written in a feminine hand, even the "notice," which gives the impression that it was written purposely careless and with the left hand. The Mason girl was formerly married to Joe Burrell and is considered one of the handsomest colored women in this vicinity. She is 24 years of age, 5 feet - 6 inches in height and weighs about 135 )ouns. When' last seen she wore a black walking skirt, black jacket, black hat and furs. Both Mr. and Mrs. James Drew are ignorant of her whereabouts. Whether she is a party to a conspiracy, to get away from Cotton or whether she has fallen a victim to the author of the anonymous letters is the mysterv the police will have to solve. She has always borne an excellent reputation.
