THIRD BASEMAN DRAUBY.
McDerlnOtt Wants tho Bison for Scran
toms Initial Bag,


Manager McDermott Is after Drauby.
who last season played third base for
Buffalo and was reserved by that club
until "A few days ago, when he was re-
leased. Drauby has been asked to send
Scranton his terms. If they are salts
factory he Will be signed and will play
first base, II the Wilkes Barre manage
ment, who are after him. does not first
secure him.
First base is Drauby's old position
which accounted for some of his many
errors at third. His chief value to Buff
falo was his heavy stick work. If
Drauby is signed no further effort will
be made to secure big Bill Massey,
of the Carbondales, an old time Scran-
ton first baSeman, Il terrific hitter and
an all-around hummer of a player. 1t
had been suspected that the shrewd
Marty Swift in his refusal to allow
Massey to negotiate with Scranton had
hoped to secure a fat bonus. He blocked
the deal anyhow. and now he and Mas
sey are none the better situated and
possibly Scranton has suffered little
as Massey seems better than Drauby.
Still ball players. like the weather. are
subject to great changes and the Bison
may be found to fill the bill. Drauby
played in the Cedar Rapids club and
was a team mate of "Mugsy" McGraw
and BIZ Hoffer.
Arrangements for rebuilding the
fences at the Base Ball park. enlarging
the grandstand and moving the dia-
mond westward were practically COM
pleted yesterday and the work will be
pushed forward as rapidly as the
weather permits. The proposed changes
were recently given in detail i'm The
Tribune. 1t is intended that there shall
be no delay in making the improve
ments. and that the grounds and build
ings will be ready for use several weeks
before the season opens.

transferred to Hartford, Conn, and will

the Iron and Oil league.
A Baltimore dispatch says Manager Bill
lie Barnie has compromised with Van der
Horst and Hanlon, and the suit he entered
against the Baltimore magnates for an
interest in the club and share of the
profits for two years has been dismissed
The compromise was the fruit of a visit

week ago. when he was paid some money

ahead of him and Barnie Is again outside
of the base ball breastworks. but with a
small wad in his inside pocket.
President Freedman. of the New York

KILLED ON THE RAIL.
CycIist Struck by a Passenger Train
While Riding to His Work.

Toledo. Ohio. Feb. 3.-James Debth
met his death this morning while riding
his bicycle along the Michigan Central
tracks. Debth was the engineer of the
Cotton Cycle company. This morning
he took advantage of the level roadbed
to ride between the rails. 1t was a
very foggy morning, and while he must
have heard the approach of the pass
enger train. he probably thought it was
on another track.
The pilot tossed him high in the air
and when the train crew reached him
he was quite dead. Debth was a mar
ried man and leaves four little chill
dren.

The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1896-07-14

How do the silver Republicans
like to be termed mobiles ? 1t is
not long since the Statesman
proclaimed the ability of this
country alone to coin silver. 1t
now goes right back on it. 1t is
going to be the Oregonian of
Idaho, is it ? All right, let it;
but one thing,it should not whine
if its support does not remain
intact. We have always urged
support of the Statesman as a
state organ, regardless of any
political differences, but when it
comes to a matter higher than
politics-bread and butter for
the mouths of our children-and
when that paper comes to the
condition of utterly misrepresent-
ing this grand state, we can do
so no longer. We must say.
goodbye, white livered, coward
ly rag Adieu, traitor to every
Idaho interest LWeiser Signal.
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1896-07-14

The correspondent of the Com
mercial Advertiser, a recognized
gold Mckinley organ, thus wires
from Cleveland, Mark Hanna's
home :
THE Mckinley managers have
already enough advices from dis
tricts infected with the silver
craze to give them considerable
concern. The free coinage people
claim that they will carry Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois and nearly every
state west of the Mississippi and
south of the Ohio. Indeed, last
night l heard bets made that
New Jersey and New York will
be found in the doubtful column.
| have talked with several of the
Mckinley managers within the
past "a hours and they do not
disguise the fact that they are
much worried over the situation
Much as they wish to keep the
tariff to the front, they are every
day impressed with the idea that
another irrepressible conflict is
upon them in the shape of the
silver question. Advices are re-
ceived from the Middle states
and the far west that show only
too plainly which way the tide
is running. Some of McKinley's
managers, were they to divulge
the contents of their daily mail
could a tale unfold that would
make even Wall street open it's
eyes in Amusement"
