three loads of rye and moved it in the

TEBEAU DROPS IN
He Talks of the Western Leagues
Players Contract.

George Tebeau, the bustling baseball
promoter, is lowering over the twin
cities. It Is not likely that old white
Wings" has any serious intention Of kid
mapping Perry Werden or any Of the local
stars, and not great deal of significance
should be attached to his visit, as he is
always fitting about. He likes to travel
and keep in touch with the whole circuit,
and usually he is a welcome visitor, IN
less he is after players. ri.
Tebeau says that any member of the
Western League is free to sign wherever
he wants to, unless, of course, he has al
ready signed formal contract for 1902.
The reserve clause he says is absolutely
valueless. 1t Is as follows:
1t Is hereby further agreed that, in con-
sideration of the stipulations and agreements
herein contained, and the further considera-
ton of $40, the receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, said party of the first part
shall have the option to renew this contract
with all the terms and conditions therein ex-
pressed for the schedule season Of 1902; pro-
vided. that said party Of the first part shall
serve written notice Of his intention to exer-
else said option of renewal on or before Sept.
rs. 1901, on said party of the second part.
"Not a ball player received the $40 he
Is entitled to by this clause in the con-
tract" says Tebeau, "and yet now this
national association comes out and
threatens all players attempting to ig-
more reserve claims with the blacklist
1.-THE national board of arbitration can,
on the face Of all this, decide this mat
ter only in favor Of the ball player. Not
a magnate really reserved a player-al-
though many of them served their writ

right to go ahead and sign with any team
in the country that is willing to take
them on without the least fear of a pun

Farrell"
