Much gossip Is Indulged In among baseball men in regard to rumors that Catcher John Kling is to be a member of the Cincinnati Nationals neat season. I want to go on record as saying that Kling will play with Chicago or not at all in organised baseball." declared Presi dent Murphy of ths Chicago National club. "It la true I have been dickering with Kling." admitted August Herrmann, president of the Cincinnati club. "In a talk over the long-distanoe telephone with him I could get no satisfactory an swer, as he said he would not play ball this year, and might quit the game for good. Manager Griffith haa failed to close any deal with Manager Chance for Kling." . It Is generally oonoeded. however, that Chance offered to trade Kling for three of ths best players on the Cincinnati team. At the same time much credence Is given to Kllng's statement, made to the Associated Press in Kansas City yester day, that he would accept one or two proposition and become manager of an Eastern club next year.

Mr. Fenton graduated at the State University in 1P0. while his bride re ceived her degree there a year later. The wedding last evening was absolutly unique, in that it was held on the lawn of the Goddard residence. A large canopy Was built over the lawn and the interior beautifully trimmed In festoons of pink roses and greens, with rugs spread on the grass, and lights hung amid the bowers of greenery. The Interior of the house was also decorated In pink and green, and there the wedding supper was served after the ceremony. The wedding was the ring ceremony, and was performed by Dr. Benjamin F. Young. When Wllder's orchestra started Meldenssohn's wedding march, 14 young ladles came from the house and formed a lane through which the participants marched to the altar. First came the ushers, James Rosen feld and Jack Latourette, then little flower girls. Misses EUlsabeth Goddard. Nellie Gaylor. then the maid of honor. Miss Milola Wood, dressed In a gown of pale shell pink material; and then the bride, handsomely gowned in an ex quisite Japanese embroidered cream-colored gown with a flowing white veil. During the ceremony the orchestra, hid by a bower of green, played the soft strains of the wedding march, and the orchestra continued playing all evening, while refreshments were being served and the couple were being congratulated by their many guests. The young couple will leave at once for an extended trip. First they will visit Seattle, and the exposition, and then will travel through Canada and the East ern states before finally locating In Bal timore, where they will make their home.

ROLLER GIVEN TUSSLE BY OLSOfJ Seattle Physician-Wrestler, 30 Pounds Heavier Than His Opponent, Wins. CROWD PLEASED BY SHOW Two Straight Falls Taken by Roller, First In 52 Minutes, Second in 2 7 Minutes Game Fight Is Put Up by Loser. BT W. J. PETRAIN Dr. B. F. Roller, the heavyweight wrestler of Seattle, defeated Charles Ol son, of Indianapolis, in two straight falls at the Exposition Ring last night, and the somewhat small crowd which witnessed the bout was well pleased with the exhi bition. Roller took the first fall with a crotch hold and arm lock, and the sec ond with an arm hold in chancery. The match Is a result of the recent handicap bout held here in which Roller agreed to throw both Olson, and Tankiff, the Turk, in To minutes of wrestling, but, after downing tho Ottoman, he failed to defeat Olson In the remaining time of the bout's limit. Olson Is outweighed by Roller by at least 30 pounds, yet he put up a wonderful exhibition of skill against the Seattle giant. From the itart of the bout until the final fall was secured the two grapplers gave a clever exhibition. Olson repeat edly aesumed the upper hold and often partially succeeded In rolling his much heavier opponent, only to allow the Se attle man to exert his great Btrength and wriggle out of dangerous positions. Once or twioe Olsonl had Roller almost to the mat when the bigger grappler would give a heave of his body which loosened the little man's grip and the threatening position was gone in a flash. Olson's gameness, however, won the favor of the crowd, and whenever the medico had the upper position and the Indianapolis whilrwind escaped the clutch which looked like a sure fall.Olson showed his cleverness by working clear of the grip. His cleverness was so marked that Roller, despite his own display of clasa, was not greeted by anywhere near the applause extended the littler man. Rol ler's science, however, was offset by his greater bulk, which. In this case, worked against his being the favorite with the spectators. After 62 minutes of hard wrestling dur ing which both men were sweating freely, Roller managed to fasten an arm lock on Olson, which be augmented with an accompanying crotch hold, and, while he resisted this combination for nearly one minute. Olson finally succumbed to the superior weight and strength of his oppo nent. ' The usual 10 minutes of Intermission ensued, and when the men returned to the mat, Olson announced that he would like to secure a match here with John Berg, as soon as the latter recovers from his Injured leg. As the writer is in re ceipt of a letter from Berg announcing his willingness to meet Olson, this bout will probably be staged In the near future. The two grapplers buckled down for tho second fall, and Olson waa decidedly the more active of the two for about 20 min utes of the bout. Eventually Roller's superior weight wore the smaller man down, and the end was soon in sight. Olson resisted gamely and, after squirm ing out of the dangerous crotch-hold, with a partial hammerlock thrown In, he fell Into a chancery hold, and Roller put both shoulders to the mat In 27 minutes. The defeated man took it gamely and announced that he did not like the idea of wrestling men heavier than himself, but that he had thought he stood a good chance with Roller. The warm weather probably had con siderable to do with the small crowd, for the match waa witnessed by hardly 800, whereas previous bouts have always drawn over 1200. Last night's crowd was noticeable for not a small sprinkling of women, who seemed to enjoy the bout immensely. Referee Jack Curley introduced "Kid" Scaler, the Spokane lightweight boxer, who is to meet "Kid" Evans, of San Francisco, in a ten-round bout at Hllls boro Saturday night. There was one pre liminary wrestling bout which did not amount to much, so the less said about It the better. DEFICIT BREAKS RECORD POSTAIi ESTABLISHMENT RAN $80,000,000 BEHIND. Hitchcock Tells President Condi tions Will Improve Under Administration. BEVERLY, Mass., Sept 1 Postmaster-General Hitchcock had an Important conference with President Taft today re garding ths plans he had formulated for cutting down expenses in the postal es tablishments He told the President that the Postoffiee Department will show a deficit for the fiscal year ended June SO, last, of more than J20.000.000, the largest the service ever knew. Mr. Hitchcock informed the President that it was' his purpose to show a mater ial decrease in the amount every year that he has control of the department. The Increase of the deficit was due in part to extensions of the service, to the business depression during the first part of ths fiscal year, and to the cumber some and expensive methods of handling the mall. A commission of experts Is examining the registry department which has been showing a growing deficit. Mr. Hitch cock soon will summon another commis sion of money order experts. The rural free delivery system will come next. The subject of the "Franking" privi lege by Government officials and Con gressmen also will come In for consider ation. The custom has grown In recent years of sending out many Government docu ments as "registered mall." This system la in part responsible for the heavy defi cit of J3.000.000 In the registry division.
