the new town In th circuit an J
Bt. Joseph for trip other. Thla will
do as well any for the pur pone of stall

fact, worae could easily happen the West

be a corking good location for a bw ball
team; aa good In fact as ot." Joe la bad.
The only question Coming up would be the
ejnaent of th American association to
Sr establishment of a, rival Irtague team
yiihln It territory. Kanimi City, Kan.,
really belongs to the American enunciation
aa a part of Kannaa city, the difference
between the two towna being practically
tho same as between Omaha and South
Omaha. Moreover, thir I . n rrovtalon
In the constitution , of trie .nliunal
association that prevents ui estab
lishment by . one league o; a tram
within Ave miles of the territory i ccupleJ
by another 'league. The Inhibition In not
eeaentlally fatal to the present scheme of
President O Neil. - He would hot likely
encounter the ' opposition that thwarted
President Shlveley In his effort to secure
Kansas City, Kan., for the last season.
Both Tebeau and Cantlllon have interests
In the Western as well as In the American
and If It can- be made clear to them, that
the Kansas City American team will not
suffer seriously through the establishment
Of a Western team at Kansas City, Kan.,
the deal may be looked upon M practically
closed.
.
Within the' last week the biggest ques
tion In the a ff 4.1 is .of base ball has been
answered. It was a question which not
only Interested every fan, big and little,
but fairly thrilled the base ball world with
the contemplation of the' answer. Detroit
has accomplished that which, In the minds
of the majority -of the magnates. It was
Incapable of -Accomplishing. Philadelphia
had been picked, by the majority as the
team to supply the answer to this all
consuming Interrogatory. It must be con
cluded then that sine Philadelphia did not
and Detroit did, the best team in the
American league will battle with the Chi
cago Cubs for supremacy In the series of
seven games ' that Is to determine the
world's championship.,. In the Judgment of
most men Messrs. Murphy an Chance are
confronted this- fall by a more serious ob
stacle than faced them one year ago, and
yet they did not surmount the obstacle of
190. Will they fall before the one of
W07T The maojrlty of men who backed
their Judgment with their money thought
the Cubs would not fall a year ago, and
these same men, with others, todsy think
that had the Cubs played the same game
that gave to them the National league pen
nant they would not have fallen. But the
fact remains the Cubs are not the cham
pions of ths world. Thfa next point of In
terest is, will they become such at the ex
pense of DetroJtT Admittedly the compari
son between ' the two 'teams Is close, so
close as to 'leave -no room for - sanguine
hope or extravagant speculation. In the
light of the record of eacn team the win
ner will have accomplished a victory only
after It has defeated the next best team In
the world. Each team has Its prophets,
but It must be said these prophets are con
servative In the majority of icases. A man-to-man
comparison ef the Tigers -and Cubs
would seem .to give shade of differ
ence in favor, or Chicago. jo do gin

'hlcago has the four leading pitchers
National league: Brown, Ruelbach,
Ovrfall and Pfelster. to say nothing of
Kf7- --i r r-n -
Ftaeer and Taylor, who have been doing
excellent work. But In all probability
these four men will be depended on by
C Chance. For Detroit Donovan, Mullln,
A Htever and Kill Ian doubtless will be the
mainstays. All these men are tdp-notchers,
but the record of their work leaves the
scales tipped slightly In favor of the Chi
cago quartet.' Behind the bat each team
Is strong enough, but Chicago has lit
Kling a heavy and- timely . hitter and a
general. Chance at first will easily be
given the edge over Rossman, though
Rossman Is good there and at the bat.
Ever Is perhaps a faster second baseman
and a much headier player than Herman
i&hsefer, though Bchaefer has It on little
Johnny at the bat. Coughlan. Detroit's
captain at third, Is a heady ball player, a
'good batter and fine third baseman; but
Stelny beats htm as a hitter. Tinker be
longs to the board of strategy of the Cubs
and Is a man '.always with a head, a good
shortstop and fair hitter. O'Leary excels
hint with the bat, la a good shortstop, but
J? perhaps not as , steady. In the outfield
the batting liewars belong to Detroit,
though Bheckard, Bchulte or llofman and
Single or Howard, are good stickers and
may always be depended on. Cobb has
come forth, however, as the pnenom with
the bat and Sam Crawford Is very little
behind lilm, while Jones has been batting
- hard. In fielding the Cubs may have the
better of It, but that Is a difficult question
to decide. On the whole, In team work
nd strategy Chicago ought to be ahead.
The crisis 'no doubt will come on the
' pitching and batting. If Mordecal Brown
does not recover his arm, with Wild Bill
Donovan pitching the sensational ball he
'Is, Detroit will have a splendid chance of
winning. But the belief is Brown will be
In shape. At any rate it Is anticipated
as one of. If not the most, strenuous
. struggle for supremacy In which two great
teams ever engaged.
Ths death during the week of Charley
UufOngton removes from the world one of
. the greatest pitchers, who ever threw a

When he Is not motoring or

at the reckless wholesale destruction of
game. Some c the sporting clubs have
taken up the matter In ths hope of Ending

They have an odd way of starting His
season In trancei The entire territory is
divided Into tones, each containing a num
ber of departments in which the climate ,1s
similar and the crops mature and are har
vested about the same time. The .Depart
ment of the Interior at Paris keeps .truck
of conditions In each of these and Sets tho
date for the opening for' a day in advance
of which it is estimated the farmers will
have got their crops all In. .

The growth of the shooting habit in
France Is shown by the number of permits
Issued.' In 1830 there were only 44,500 in all
France; in I860 there were 150,000; In 180
there were 350,000, and more than '430,000 In

In 1905 the authorities compelled thoko
who catch larks and other small birds
with snares for the market to take out

The rules for pelote basque are exceed
ingly r'mple. It is played on a eoncha Or
asphalt court, which la bounded on two
sides by walls, one of them about thirty
feet high and slightly convex at the cen
ter. This main wall Is called the fronton. I
and a metallic band about three feet sbnvi
the ground extends Its whole length. The
other wall Is lower and serves chleflv to
keep the ball within the concha.
' In pelote basque only one ball Is used,
and It Is made of rubber, covered with kid.
- It Is thrown against the fronton with a
chlstera-ra sort of wooden racquet, which
resembles a giant finger nail more than
anything else.
There are two teams, three players on
who devastste the woods and fields and

The demand for game In Paris is enor
mous and fine prices are paid for It.
But besides the pot hunters and the
poachers there are other causes for the
decrease in France's game supply. There
Is a plague of rats In the country, and It
Is said that the supply of' partridge or
pheasants would vanish on account of
the destruction of their eggs by the vermin
were It not for constant stocking.
' As a final cause of the depletion of the
supply there are the battues, which French
sportsmen have adopted In Imitation of
the English. At a battue given last year
near Paris In' honor of a royal visitor 15,0t0
cartridges were' burned and 4,802 pieces
of game were brought down in four hours.
' On another occasion the president of
the republic and King Victor Emmanuel of
Italy shat 681 birds and animals, ranging
from deer to rabbits and from partridges
to quail. In a private shoot on the estats
of Montcalm in, Gard, in the south of
France, held last January, twelve guns
brought down in a day 486 red partridges,
1,334 pheasants and fifty-eight rabbits.,
'in the north of France the normal bag
ot an Individual without beaters is regarded
as fifteen to twenty pelces for a seven hour
day- of tramping and shooting behind a
dog, though a very expert shot in privately
stocked and preserved land might get from
fifty to 100 at the opening of the season.
In Brittany it is not unusual for a ' good
shot to' get from twenty-five to thirty
woo'dcock In a day.
' Recently the head ot the Syndicate of
Qame Commission merchants In the Paris
markets jdrew up an' estimate by weight of
the game brought in, from all the various
departments for the nine years, from 1898
yto 1906 Inclusive, The leading . one was
Lolre-et-Cher, in the center of the country,
with over 324,000 pounds of game, followed
by Lolret, just north of It, with 320,000
pounds.
The sportmen's societies offer several
means of checking the slaughter of game.
One is to Insist on each hunter taking out
a separate license for each department In
which he hunts. This would mal pot
hunting expensive
Another is to divide the country Into
districts of about equal extent and each
year pick out certain ones, amounting to
one-sixth of the whole surface. In which
no hunting should be allowed. The ob
jection to these and other plans comes not
only from the dealers hut also from the
fear ef politicians that they would be un
popular with the half million and more of
voters who now go out slaughtering during
the winter.
