Chicago, Jan. 8. "It's all pleasant
winter time talk," declared President
Charles Murphy of the Chicago National
league baseball club today, commenting
on the report that Frank Chance, the
. great player-manager or tne 'vuds,
might forsake his team.
' Frank Chanoe makes more than S25,-
000 a year with Chicago. - His earnings
have probably been tnose or any otner
manager In baseball. He wrote his own
contract last September and it runs for
four years. Chance .baa never been
known to go back on a contract, and I
don't believe he will now."

lermann, "we have strong and mon
eyed backina- in the south and will get

hamper their movements in securing
players.
"The San Francisco club of the State
league will plav its home games at
Eighth and Harrison streets, the
grounds of the Pacific Coast league be
fore the Are.
"In Sacramento we have a promise of
the grounds we used last year and we
expect to get most of the players who
were with Graham."
No Park Available.
Los Angeles, Jan. 8. Unless a site for
a -ark near the heart of the city is

Ing. manager of the San Francisco club,
and Danny Shay of the Stockton club,
will return to Ban rrancisco lonigm.
"It will be necessary for us to find a
centrally located park before we attempt
to put a team in here," said Forelng to
day. "No matter how classy the players
might be the fans would not ride six or
seven miles to see a baseball game. We
will make our decision .before night"

Greatest Wrestling Match of
Season Greets Fans Who
Brave Cold.
Nine hundred fans who braved ' the
cola ana trudged through the snow to
see the O'Connell-Peterson wrestling
match at the Exposition ring last night.
were treated to the best exhibition of
mat art yet seen in the city, the local
champion taking the second and third
laws, in good time. After tne ADor-nathy-Parker
' preliminary, it was an
nounced on behalf of the management,
that it was not believed O'Connell's op
ponent was Jack Peterson, but that he
was a "ringer", and Referee Joe Acton
declared all bets off. The management
offered to refund admission to anybody
coming to the rink expecting to sea
reierson ana wno raignt oe disappoint
ed with the substitute. Only one man
asked for the return of the money for
his general admission ticket.
Peterson, while he refused to give
nis real name, is tnought to oe Joe
uanane, tne cr,acK ' rncago miaaieweignt.
Several Chlcagoans in the audience,
who knew him to be La 8a lie, promptly
got down on the Frenchman a chances.
That LaSalle is a good one there is
no aenymg. we weighed in at some
thing like 180 pounds. 36 pounds heavier
than the local wonder. He was fast on
his feet, too, after getting warmed up
10 me worn, ana wniie ne was not so
finished as O'Connell his weight and
strength enabled him to stave off holds
which seemed Impossible to break. For
tne oenem of those who think the real
Peterson is better than LaSalle it might
be mentioned that when thev met in
Chicago the pair .battled two hours and
iu minutes witnout a rail being secured
by either. LaSalle is considered every
as good as the Swede in the lake
country.
O'eoaaeu pawing.
O'Connell's offensive work through
out the contest was dazzling. His Judg
ment of distance was marvelous and his
speed bewildered the Chicagoan time
and again. Despite the weight of the
visitor, O'Connell slammed him around
the mat to a king's taste. Those who
think Kddle is lacking in strength had
their doubts dissipated by the way he
tumbled LaSalle.
The first fall went to LaSalle. It
took 39 minutes to throw O'Connell. who
had been putting a shade on the French
man. Eddie had squeesed the foreigner
with a head scissors but it slipped and
before he could recover LaSalle shot
into a body scissors which proved ef
fectual. O'Connell seemed a little care
less during the progress of this fall but
It was evident that there was method In
his madness. It was Just a bit of hard
luck.
The second fall brought forth as
Sretty a wrestling exhibition as ever
ellghted the eye. O'Connell found his
man tiring and rushed him along at
rapia pace.
His variety of attack was baffling.
First he would use his arms and then
those attenuated legs would work over
LaSalle. -Then again he would bring all
four limbs together in one effort. From
tne way ne works oconneil must be
something or a contortionist After 19V4
minutes of struggling In the second fall.
Kddle pinned Joe's shoulders to the
mat on a head scissors. O'Connell used
every hold known to the game In this
fall, the head scissors alone proving ef
fective. LaSalle was suffering from a
sore knee, the result of the gruelling
In the first round.
Four Minutes for La.st.
Four minutes sufficed for the visitor
In the third fall. O'Connell kept up his
running ana snomy naa iasaue in ais
tress. LaSalle felt the loss keenly and
protested to Referee Acton that he did
not have his shoulders to the mat. How
ever it was plainly seen that they were
and in the hold Kddle could have kept
the easterner in the same position all
night.
The preliminary went to Parker, who
threw Abernathy with great ease. Parker
won scores of friends by his clever
work. It took Parker but seven min
utes to secure both falls, the first one
of them being in three minutes.
Charley Hackenschmidt known
throughout the world as "Young Hack
enschmidt," who Is passing through
Portland from Iowa, enroute to Seat
tle, was at the rlr-slde and offered Jo
throw O'Connell four times in an hour.
He agreed to make 165 pounds at noon
of the day of the match, which he said
could be made any time between Jan
uary 28 and February 2 to suit him.
Hack will linger around Pdrtland for
a few days endeavoring to get a match
with O'Connell. who is not strong on
taking on any big men right away after
the match of last night.

SERUM THAT ENDS
HOG CHOLERA
Columbia. Mo.. Jan. 8. As a result
of perfecting a serum that Is an anti
toxin against hog cholera, the Missouri
agricultural college guarantees the state
legislature mat wiin an appropriation or
145.000 a year it will save the farmers
of Missouri from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000
annually. The ravages from this dis
ease amount in no year to less tnan
tne Tlrst figure ana irequentiy reacn
the latter.
The hog cholera serum was discovered
by Dr. M. Dorsett of the United States
department of agriculture, but It was
perfected and made practical by Dr. J.
W. Connoway of the Missouri agricul
tural college. He has been working for
months on the problem and now has
the proportion exactly.
The serum, which has been tested and
proven, will mean the same to the ani
mal world that antitoxin means to hu
man beings and will reduce the price
of pork to a minimum.
There Is only one thing a woman loves
better than being told a secret, and that
Is finding it out for herself.
"HOUSE OF BONDAGE" AT HEILIG
A DREARY DRAMATIC BLIZZARD
By J. F. S.
The minds of most of us were ob
sessed by superlatives last night. It
was the coldest ever. We had never
even heard of such a snowstorm.
"Greatest" and "worst" and "irever be
fore" haunted our vocabularies and
drove ordinary adjectives to seek cover
where they could. Having announced
shortly before that the weather was the
coldest In 29 years, with one exception,
we were prone to add. after seeing
Florence Roberts In "The House of
Bondage." that It was the worst play
In 29 years, with no exceptions.
Upon saner, calmer af tertnougnt. that
is probably wrong. Poor, frail human
nature is prone to consider the snows
and plays of last night worse than
those of yesteryear. The dramatic
blizzard at the Helllg last evening was
the meteorological event of tho season
perhaps, but scarcely of the decade.
The storm began threateningly at 8:40
p. m., when the curtain disclosed a
drawing room near the close of the Lon
don season. Gwendolyn. Countess of
Carllngton, blew in witn an icy oream
and Insisted on seeing Paul Bertrand,
the most fashionable surgeon in London.
He came and the flakes of speech began
falling thick and fast Gwendolyn
warned the audience and incidentally
the doctor, who couldn't help hearing
what she said, in spite of the fact that
she talked straight at us all the time
and never at him that people were talk
ing scandalously about him and the
Ladv Joan Meredith. The doctor, a
splrltuelle man. elegantly garbed,
couldn't believe it.
Just then Lady Joan hersejf appeared
and the storm redoubled its fury. The
Countess Gwendolyn withdrew with the
aid of tho flunky, and the doctor and
Ledv Joan had It out. The details are
unnecessary; suffice it to say that Just
as they were kissing each other Oh.
it was a perfectly frigid, cold blooded
kiss in came the Duchess of Banff. It
was most inopportune, because, through
the gleam of the fast falling snow of
words we had made out that the duchess
and Lady Joan's husband. Sir VInceht
Meredyth. had been awfully intimate
friends for these many years.
It is hard to remember the events
that followed in their correct chronolog
ical order, but to the best of my dis
ordered recollection, this Is what oc
curred: Lady Joan went Into the ante
room and the duchess and the doctor
talked. Tbe duchess withdrew in a
regular January thaw of tears and Lady
Joan came back in. It had Just begun
to warm up again when Sir Vincent
bowed htmselr In. That consulting room
was most unfortunately placed. The
flunky announced at the beginning of
the act that the doctor never allowed
any, one in there. And yet every one
came in without so much as saying, "by
your leave."
-Sir Vincent was well paid for his
rudeness, however. Fate struck him
down as he was standing there talking
to his wife and the great surgeon. It
developed that t!.e only thing that would
save his life was for the great sur
geon to operate on a growth at the
base of Sir Vincent's brain.
NOW all this sort of thing may be
nice for dramatists to write, and it
Is no doubt lovely for actresses to act
But personally. X don't care to see any
more of it. Sir VinOnt has a great
fasslon for the duchess of Banff and
he duchess1 reciprocates. Lady Joan
has' a great passion for the great sur
geon and he wishes her the same, thank
you. The only person without a great
pass tan seemed to be Gwendolyn, Coun
tess f Carlington,. and even -she, poor

Telegram to Former Man
ager Says Champion Has
Cut Loose.
San Francisco, Jan. 8. Joe O'Connor,
who wbs placed on the rollers by Wlllus
Britt, today showed little emotion, ex
cept that of ennui, over the reported
desertion of him by Stanley Ketchel,
middleweight champion of the world.
Joe was sufficiently worried yester
day to telegraph Ketchel, and this was
the reply:
"Grand Rapids, Mich., Jan. 7. Joe
O'Connor, San Francisco: Britt and I
have Migried for a IB weeks' theatrical
engagement. Don't make any more ar
rangements until vou hear from me.
"STANLEY KETCHEL."
'That looks as If Britt Is to be his
manager." said O'Connor in discussing
the telegram. "I didn't believe It before,
but evidently Britt has persuaded him
to make the change. Well. I haven't a
word to say -against Ketchel. I picked
him up when the world thought nlm a
nobody: but If he thinks he can better
himself this Is a matter of business. We
always got along well together and had
no trouble. If lis In reallv going with
Britt. I vsh Stanley all the best luck
In the world.
Worked Without Contract.
"For the first year that I handled
Ketchel I had a contract with him. That
expired in August, and I never bothered
to renew It. I always figured that If
ne was aissatlsned ne could leave me.
He offered to sign papers, but I told
him that would not be necessary be
tween us. as rar as I Know he took all
the money he had left with him when
he went to Grand Rapids. I never
handled his money for him. After
every right we had a settlement and I
turned over what was coming to him.
He has no Interests with me on the
coast. In plte of the stories that have
been floating around. I am building
some flats here, but Ketchel Is not In
terested with me.
"Will I write to him? No; I wouldn't
walk across the street to hear any more.
I dor.'t believe In handling a fighter
that way. I never did mix with Ketchel
outside of our business affairs and I
don't propose to run after. him. It may
be that he will come back to me. If he
does, all right; but I am not going to
worry about it. I will still he In the
boxing game and perhaps I will have
another champion shortly."
dear, was immensely fond of her au
dience. The remaining two acts dragged you
through much the same kind of stuff.
There was a doublejolnted family quar
rel In progress without any Intermis
sion. Lady Joan declared that Sir Vin
cent had made life a hell for her
and she certainly deserved It. Her
great plaint was of the Injustice of
the English dlvorco laws! We can't
be expected to become Interested' In
the English divorce laws when we have
46 variations of our own. It seems the
trouble was that Lady Joan couldn't get
a divorce from Sir Vincent unless he
struck her. Why he didn't beat her was
beyond the comprehension of the au
dience. Sir Vincent was not without his grim
sense of humor, however. It was the
one redeeming feature of the play. He
finally offered to allow his wife to
secure a separation from him, without
the right of remarrying. In "Dlvor
cons" Cyprleune exclaims. "What! Three
years without a man!" But Ladv Joan
was worsa Tragically she appeals to
heaven at the insult. "You brute!" she
replies to Sir Vincent's offer. "Will
your croolty know no bounds! To turn
me loose upon the world without the
protection of a man!" If the answer
of Cyprienne was funny, that of Lady
Joan was a thousand times more so.
as Miss Roberts hissed It out.
There were some other funny things
to the play. B or Instance, that dormer
window business in the Swiss chalet
was delicious. It was a perpetual
cuckoo clock, with every character stick
ing his head In through the window
and calling out something to the sur
prised couples within. It was the flrat

office of the war department, will be
the next social secretary of the White
House, and Miss Isabella Hagner, who
now dictates the social lists of the

with' the social set In Washington; She
has gained a certain distinction through
her ability as a whist player, and has
made a little pocket money by giving
lessons in bridge. One of her promt"
nent pupils was Mrs. John R. McLean,
and it Is understood that Mrs. McLean
was instrumental In obtaining for her
the position at the White House. Mrs.
Relyea was a guest at Mrs. McLean's
summer home during the past season.
. Mrs. Relyea was appointed to her
place in the war department from Con
necticut -on July , 1907. She ha - m
wide acquaintance in society, not only
In Washington but in New York and
Newport. She is the widow of Albert
Relyea, formerly a chief of a division
In the treasury department, who com
mitted suicide" several years ago.' " '
During the first few months of the
Roosevelt regime the duties at the White
House were performed by Charles Mc
Cawley, now a major, but then a cap
tain In the marine corps. He was chief
social aid to the president, and he not
only looked out for the details of that
office, but was the censor of Mrs. Roose
velt's lists and acted as the real major
domo of the executive nansion. At one
time it was understood that he was en
gaged to Miss. Alice Roosevelt. When
he married -Mrs. John Davis he retired
from the White House, and Miss Isa
bella Hagner, formerly a clerk in the
war department, became the social ar
biter there.
Never before has the position of social
secretary at the White House been made
so Important as since Miss Hagner's ad
vent. The privileges of the office have
Increased and the only one which has
not been accorded Miss Hagner is that
of assisting Mrs. Roosevelt In the Blue
Room In receiving her guests on formal
occasions, vjust why Miss Hagner hns
not accomplished this has not been made
known. The secretary to the president
and his wife are allowed the distinction
of standing at the tail end of the re
ceiving line on these occasions. But
Miss Hagner has been made a member
of family parties at the White House so
often that her privileges have led her
into the most exclusive circles.
The office of social secretary has been
made to combine with that of compaiion
to the nresldent's wife, and freauently
Miss Hagner assists Mrs. Roosevelt in
her shopping, attending the children
when they are at school in Washington
and filling in an empty chair at the
theatre or a public muslcale.
For several years after she was de
tailed to the White, House Miss Hagner
was carried on the rolls of the war
department, but her salary now is paid
out of the White House appropriation.

liked the stewardess, Miss Edith Den
wick, in whose care he had been placed
In London by his grandparents, Mr.
and Mrs. John D. Hanbury, of Bedford
Court mansion, in Regent street Blood
finally proved thicker than sea water
friendships and he walked down tho
gang plank with his mother, who was
saying, "Oh! Billy! Billy!'1
The little fellow was a great favorite
on board ship because he was so man
ly. He had a little "affaire" on board,
too, with Mii-s Mary Howard, four yean
old, but he never allowed his affections
to set the better of him to the extent
of Kissing lier--he would only shake
lianas.
When the customs officials boarded
the New York he opened up his suitcase
for Inspection. His dutiable articles
ramo within the $100 limit anl he paid
nothing.
When a reporter saw him at his
home he had Just fallen off the bed
and cut his lip, but he yielded to an
invitation to walk to Riverside Drive
with his mother. Aunt Helen, age 11,
a photographer and the reporter. Ha
wasn't quite steady In his walk, for
he still had his sea legs, which by
the way, were sturdy from much exer
cise and clad In short stockings. His
.heeks were as rosy as a red apple,
and he was every Inch a little man.
He eat for his picture on the suitcase
that was his only baggage on the
8000 mile trip across the ocean. Hugged
under his right arm was his London
Teddy bear, but he didn't seem to think
It was very necessary.
The little fellow was born In London
In 1906, and as his parents were travel
ling about tne world he was lert in
Ijondon In his parental grandparents'
care. His ratner, wno was win lam
Donald Hanbury. a newspaper writer.
died suddenly eight weeks ago, and his
motner determined to nave tne boy sent
over from London.
The American line would not think of
bringing the child alone at first, but
finally, through the kindness Of Mr.
Bird, the company agreed to take the
little chap as a first class passenger
under the care of a stewardess. And
now the wmowed motner is happy with
him, for he Is the image of his father.

There Is not a physician living who can
claim to be proficient in the treatment of all
human ailments and diseases. To attain the
highest possible degree of proficiency In all
departments of medical science would require
half a dozen lifetimes of study and as many
more of practical experience. The regular
practitioner Is proficient In a large number
of the commonest and most easily conquered
diseases. The specialist must first become
proficient for general practice, and must then
go on to proficiency in a few of those condi
tions and diseases more difficult to under
stand and more difficult to cure.

Weakness
Functional weakness In men is
in reality a comparatively simple
ailment, and Is but a symptom of
local disorder, a state of chronic
inflammation of the prostate
gland. No stimulating treatment,
whether Internal or locally ap
plied can do more than excite tem-
fiorary activity. By my system of
ocal treatment I restore absolute
ly normal conditions throughout
the organs involved, which prompt
ly results In complete and per
manent restoration of strength
and vigor. This treatment is orig
inal with me and Is the only
radical and certain cure yet de
vised. Varicocele
Varicocele Is a relaxation, knot-'
ting and twisting of the most vital
blood vessels of the organic sys
tem. It stagnates the local circu
lation and Interferes with the pro
cesses of waste and repair. Neg
lect brings derangement of func
tions and Injury to the general
health. Most physicians resort to
surgical - operations and hospital
treatment. I cure Varicocele In

Contracted Diseases
I have reduced the time required
for curing contracted disorders
about one half. This is an Impor
tant achievement. It replaces dan.
ger with safety. It forestalls
chronic complications. It removes
the Infection and Inflammation be
fore that vital center, the prostate
gland, can become involved. To
many men it means the difference
between perfect health and a life
time of misery and functional,
weakness. My method is mine'
alone. My treatment In original.
In some features it resembles the
ordinary. In its chief essentials It
Is different. In results It Is en
tirely different. It is safe, prompt
