Kansas City papers say. that Pat Tebeau
probably will buy the Blues Of that city
from his brother. George, and captain,
manage and play first base for them. Mr..
Ie ,1 was in the. LIQUOR business with
very recently. The firm dissolved. Joyce
buying Tebeau out.
George Tebeau owns the Louisville Asso-
citation team. Dale Gear managed his Kan
| sas City club. Pat Tebeau is quite forty
pounds above playing weight. but has been
taking good care Of his health lately.
Billy Kane of St Louis is slated to
manage the Butte MONTY team If John J..
McCloskey goes to San Francisco. Kane is
a fast fielder and a fair sticker. He con-
tracted malaria two years ago and had one
bad season. His work at Butte last year
was superf1ne. Kane is tho crack local
football player.
Al Warner Of St Louis has been offered
an umpire's berth by President Lucas OF
works in the Anheuser-Busch Brewing
Company's glass-blow1ng department in
winter.
Tim Hurst Is in the city in connection
with the Irish fair, which the local Irish
Americans are to give next month. Talking
st. Louis teams. it is pertinent to ask what
is the matter with Hurst. He never knew
superior as an umpire. especially in
games where intense feeling was apt to be
exhibited. In the old days when the Cleve-
land and Baltimore clubs fought for su-
premacy. when bricks came flying and clubs
were falling, Tim was always the man sent
to see fair play.

II do not care how many any pitchers , Done a 10.
That is enough for the work in hand"
Burkett weighed but 1853 pounds when the
be pleasant news to- Mr.. David Brain.
With Jesse dropping them and big Ander-
son banging them past mile minute. the
early games will be quite a test of Brains
merit.
The fact that Pat Donovan is not taking
part in the early games Of the league
team and is industriously cultivating the
bacilli of la grippe goes long way to
bear out Bobby Wallace's claim that Dono-
van would not dare get in the game against
the American leaguers. 1t is largely up to
Patrick.
'Tt will be a sin to take the money
said Assistant Secretary William Walsh
as he sat in Mr.. Hedges's "Arnoldlike' Of
fees yesterday. II hate to see good fellows
like Donovan beaten. but what can you
do? 1t Is business"
How do the National leaguers and Amer
leans compare in catchers?" asked a man
new to baseball yesterday of a weekly-pa-
per authority.
Unless Weaver is some one." was the
reply, Donovan is short on catchers.
Ryan is fair receiver and good coach. but
he could not hit the pipe If his name was
Wing Tu Fang He hit about .O02 last
year. O'Neill is abou. much of Lajoie
as Ryan. Kahoe Is an average catcher and
fair hitter. There is nothing to 1t there
