He doesn't propos9 to allow any little thing liko a meeting of 'club owneri to In terfere with his rlans for running the "Western league. He has plans, for he says so, but he hasn't told anybody any thing about them, not blnce June, when tie made his proposition to the players that they finish out the season at half pay. What eUe he proposes he keeps itrictly to himself, and may never let U te known. However, five of the eight team owners in the Western have de cided that Tip s term as president Is at an end. and no It Is pretty certain that he will go, peaceably er otherwise. Frank Iirbell and Jack Holland did not attend the Omaha meeting, and they are looked on as O'Neill's sole adherents. Kbrlght of Wichita wag expected, but lid not put In appearance. It Is well understood, thouph, that Wichita will go nlong with tho majority of the clubs In thin matter. What Is wanted It a president who will pay some atten tion to the needs of the league, who will be on the Job during the play ing season at least, and who will Hive something In service for the salary lie receives. This, the owners assert, O'Neill did not do. For example, ho waa not Inside the Omaha ball park once during the last season. He knows prac tically nothing of the local situation, ap parently cares less. Other towns fared .bout the same. When the owners of six of the eight teams sent him a peti tion, asking him to call a meeting of the league at Omaha, he declined to mako the call. It was this that led to the ulti mate action of the meeting here. The next president of the Western league will" be the executive officer of the or ganization. ,but he will also he respon sive to the men who employ htm. Three blistering hot battles at Boston between the Bed Sox and the Tigers, on the outcome of which to a large measure depended the final leadership of the Ban Johnson league, will do away with the assertions that the race was not hotly contested. It may be true that changes made during the summer resulted In the lAmerlcan becoming a three-team league, with only Boston, Petrolt and Chicago as contenders, but it surely did make those teams contenders. While they havo disposed of the lower class opponents with something of ease, they have had Dome titanic contests among themselves, and the fact that both Detroit and Bos ton were aWe to win from Chicago Indi cates that the league Is really a two-club affair. Tho Boston fans acknowledged the Importance of the match by turning out Saturday afternoon the biggest crowd so far soon at a ball park this season, and almost equalling any World's series attendance at Fenway park. That Bos ton has won two of three games In th closing and apparently deciding series Justifies the belief of those who have for weeks been pinning tholr faith to the Red Sox, and seems to assure the big series for Philadelphia and Boston again. Emll Klank has permanently retired Frank oOtch from the mat and thereby awarded the championship belt to Hus sane, but he's pretty decent about It, at that. He says he'll let Stecher wrestle with Hussane for a title that changed hands at Rourke park on the evening of July 6. You really have to give It to the promoter, at that. The roar that has been heard of late Is .not an echo of any European battle, but la merely the echo of the Brubdlgna glan belch emitted by the "red-hota" who packed the motordome at Brighton Beach last Saturday to watch Mike Gibbons and Paokv McFarland stage a very ordinary boxing contest. ' Some declare It was a hippodrome, pure and slmplo; several of the best known of New York sporting writers. Including "Tad" Dor- j gan, do not mince their words In calling I It a fake show. About the beat any of them give It Is a tame sparring match, and the division of opinion as to who should be ueclared winner Is another fac- j tor that adds to the big gob of dlsap- potntment that must be swallowed by the j X.000 who made up a fat little gate of j 167.000 for the promoters, from which tho I foxy boys who toyed with one another in the ling received $32.Gi)0, leaving only a paltry JK 000 for Urn promoter to pay all his expenses, which must have reached to something like $7,000. P. T. Barnum surely was right, and they are so numer ous now that one wonders If the birth rata hasn't Increased. Jert Curley was at the motordome last Saturday night to watch the fanning bee between Mike and Packy, and h!s heart must have sunk when he compared the crowd with the one he fsced at Chicago on that famous Labor day. Down m New York they're trying to find some one to go against Jess Wll lard. Anybody will do. If they'll Just hurry up, before the producing public finds what's going on. At that Rowland didn't show so badly with the White Sox. He had them up there fighting most of the way, and thaf s more than anyone looked for. The Box Bow have everything but the heart.

FEUD OF TWO YEARS' STANDINQ Will the Central and South Side High schools meet on the gridiron this yeart That Is an enlgnroa whloh puaalles stu dents and old grass of the two Institu tions. Now that South Omaha has been annexed and It Is all a Greater Omaha the two schools are a part of the same system and therefore should be on friendly athletic terms. In other cities the biggest games of the year are be tween the sectional high schools, and there are those In Omaha who hope to see such a condition in Omaha, But there la one drawback. Two years ago the Central High school student council passed a resolution that all ath tetla relations with the South Omaha High school be severed. They were. Now the South Omaha High auheol is, one might say, a defunct Institution, as that school Is now ths South Side High school of Omaha. The feud that sepa rated the schools has been wiped out lirtli util stroag. Prospects are good for stro.ig teams at both schools.

Then Abbott, who has played brilliantly at guard, failed to return and there la little chance the David City lad will alter his decision, as the board of regents abolished the forestry department In which Abbott was taking a course.

CMAMCG ' Crawford of Wahoo Always Fit, Declares Tuthill, Tigers' Trainer By DtMOS BCXYOIT. "Of all the athletes I've ever had any thing to flo with base ball players, foot ball players, fighters, track men, and all the rest I think tho greatest for keeping himself In physical trim la that old boy up there at the plate," said Harry Tuthill, trainer of the Ifetrolt Tigers, and of the Army foot ball team, at the Polo grounds yesterday afternoon. He pointed to Sara Crawford, fight fielder of the Tigers, who stood swinging a heavy bat hands close together at the very tip of the email end legs straddled well apart, and his burly shoulders drawn well back; an attitude that is the em bodiment of the greatest batting force, so far as driving power Is oonoemed, that Is known to base ball. "I've been handling athletes) of one kind and another for over twenty-five years," continued Tuthill. "I was with some of the greatest fighters the ring hasi ever known. Including Jim Oorbetti Oeortre McFadden, a boy who never got all the credit he was entitled to Young Corbett, and scores of others. I was with tho (llants for four years, during whloh the olub had some of Its greatest ball players, and I've seen all kinds of foot ball players, good, bad, and Indifferent I but I never saw a man following aa athletic pursuit that I eonalder In Sam's class for oenstaat physical efficiency.
