Western League Gossip
"Jawn" Higglns, owner of the lies
Moines club, says that there Is nothing do
ing in Hie talk of taking the Des Moines
franchise away and giving it to Oklahoma
City. "Jawn" soys his sole aim now-a-days
Is to spend money to give the Iowa capital
a good team and that lie will go as far
aa necessary and a little farther to do it.
He says OMell Is only president of the
league, while he is the owner of the Pes
Moines club and will have something to
ay about any changes that are made. If
he can help it.
fcloux City has purchased "Chick" Hart-
man, lnfielder. from Denver. "Chick" ac
companied his new teammates on the trip
east when they left Denver, Tuesday night.
Fugate for Topeka and Olst for Lincoln
pitched tight ball. Wednesday, at Topeka.
Only ten hits were made in the game.
Higglns has received a wire from former
manager "BUI" Dwyer saying that he Is
ready to report for play. Transportation
has bren sent to him at Waterbury, Conn.
it is probable that tho big first sacker muy
not be in the best of condition on his ar
rival In the west, but Manager George
Davis has hopes of putting him in the first
corner in tho near future.
Lincoln is making big preparations for
t opening day, May 10. An invitation has
him extended to Taft to witness tho first
home game and Mayor Love, Governor
Shalleiiberger and W. J. Bryan will occupy
boxes.
The Denver Times Is stronger than horse
radish in roasting Ueorge Clarke for his
umpiring. In fact almost half n column of
space Is devoted, telling the fans, how the
games should have been umpired according
to the viewpoint of the sporting writers.
It's pretty hard for most sport writers to
keep score and umpire accurately at the
same vlme.
George Graham has received word from
Pa Kourke to begin getting in shape so
that lie will be able to go into the game at
any time when the team reaches homo.
George is in good condition right now' and
ready to Jump Into the Scrimmage when
the call comes.
Des Moines Is still hopeful of landing
Lang from the White Sox. Higglns Is
looking for the word anytime that will
make the pitcher hls'n.

DEADLOCK OVER REFEREE
Jeffries' and Johnson's Managers
Fail to Agree.
BEEGEB WANTS EDDIE SMITH
Colored Champion Insists on Either
Eddie Graney or Jack Welch of
San Francisco, So There
Y'on Are. '
SAN FRANCISCO May 5 After four
hours' gentlemanly wrangling at Jack
Johnson's training quarters on the ocean
beach today, promoters and principals of
the Jeffries-Johnson fight came to a dead
lock over the choice, of 'a referee. It was
finally decided to postpone ths selection
of that official until May 15.
After the elimination of a few undesir
ables, the controversy narrowed down to
Eddie Graney and Jack Welch and Eddie
Smith of Oakland, Johnson Insisting on
one of the two former men, and Sam Ber
ger holding out for Smith,
Johnson's objections to SmiOi waa that
Smith gave him the ivrotig end of a de
cision in a fight, with Hank Griffin In
Oakland a few year ago. The negro re
fused to consider "Cti'arllo Lyton of ' Los
Angeles, as he is a fellow citizen of Jef
fries.
Although Charlio White, who at one time
figured prominently as a possibility, was
not even mentioned, the outcome of the
controversy is thought to have left the
possibilities for the choice of an eastern
man.
Johnson Is firm in his objection to Smith
and Berger Is equally firm In opposing
Welch and Graney. Johnson has an
nounced today he would begin training a
week from Sunday.
"Five or sixwecks of hard work Is all I
need,' he said. i
BEN LOMOND, Cal., May 4.-Jeffries
hurried back to his training tamp here at
noon, bringing with him Mrs. Jeffries, who
Is recovering from an operation. Jeffries
did not visit San Francisco during his
late holiday, preferring to let Berger
squabble over the referee question with
Jack Johnson and the promoters of the
fight.
Jeffries was pleased to hear that Frank
Gotch, the champion heavyweight wrestler,
will Join the camp in a week.

CHICAGO, 111., May S.-B'rank Gotch,
champion heavy-weight wrestler of the
world, Iowa farmer and acknowledged pre
mier of the mat in tricky grappling, won
his first point in the championship mutch

'nd owner at that early date "outguessed"
foreign rival. He had not been matched
with Zbyszko because of hla excessive
terms, but "guessed" that the Pole would
not go home to Europe without wrestling
him.
"Gotch left everything here in Chicago
to Emtl Klank, the Empire Athletic club
official and hlr manager," said a local
follower of the game. "Klank was in
structed to hoid out for 00 per cent for
Gotch, win, lose or draw, and Gotch knew
the I'ole would have to concede his point.
As a result, Gotch is now in perfect con

YOUNG CIVIL WAR VETERAN
William I. Phllpott of Teenmaeh
Celebrates SIxty-Flrat Anni
versary of Illrth.
TECUMSEH, Neb., May 6.-(Speclal.)-Tecumseh
claims to havo the youngest
civil war veteran In Nebraska In William
I. Phllpott, who was not yet 16 years of
age when the war closed, but saw practi
cally two enlistments, totaling nineteen
months, in that struggle. Mr. Phllpott was
61 years old on April 22 and celebrated his
birthday by joining the Grand Army of tho
republic, of which he had never before
become a member.
When a mere boy of 12 years Phllpott
went to the front as a flfer with Company
I of the Ninety-eighth Ohio. When the
soldiers were being recruited he played the
fife and beat the drum and helped stir up
patriotism. The company took Phllpott
along and dressed him In the army uniform,
although he was too young to be regularly
enlisted. With his boyish appearance and
weighing less than eighty pounds Phllpott
attracted much attention and one day when
the company was In Louisville, Ky., a lady
was heard to remark, "Oh, what a pretty
little solider.' The boy, however, kept up
with tho regiment on all the long marches
and saw many skirmishes.
After threo mopths as a flfer boy Philpott
took ill and was sent home, but In April,
18G4, ho enlisted In Company A, Eightieth
Ohio Infantry, and served for sixteen
month, being on Sherman's march to Che
sea, and in many engagements.
"I don't see how they cs.i find any
younger veterans than I am, for they
wouldn't have been old enough at the time
of the war to get in tho service," said Mr.
Phllpott In speaking of his record.
Mr. Phllpott has lived 1n Nebraska since
1871, and In Tecumaeli since 1884. He had
two brothers In the civil war. One of them
is ttorney J. E. Phllpott of Lincoln, who
was colonel of an Ohio regiment, and the
other was the late Dr. C. H. Phllpott of
Tecumseh, who was a prlvute in the Eigh
tieth Ohio.
