Fictitious Transfers Blocked.

Secretary John E. Bruce's bulletin, under
date of August % shows that up to that
time the purchase of thirty-two minor
league clubs had been recorded in COM
pliance with section of article Of the
national agreement. The National League
clubs get eighteen and American League
clubs fourteen of these recruits. but there
will be many additions to the list of each
before September l. when the drafting
period begins. Chairman Herrmanns dec
laration that fictitious transactions between
major and minor league clubs will not be
tolerated is significant. President Johnson
has expressed similar views and there can
be no doubt Of President Pulliam's hearty
cooperation in preventing abuses of the
drafting system. The class clubs which
submit to the selection of their stars by
major league clubs should not be deprived
Of the legitimate right to replace them by
draft from clubs in leagues of lower classi-
fication by pretended purchase or fictitious
selection In an American or National
League club of class players, under
secret agreement to return them after the
close of the minor league drafting term.
The national commission can stop the prac-
tice or make perjurers of those who engage
ir it by requiring af1idavits under section 4
of article when there Is reasonable
ground for suspicion of collision. Failure
to furnish sworn statement would in
validate the transfer.

Dubuque Globe-JouTnal: There has
been considerable speculation as to
whether or not the Three-Eye league is
as strong as the Western league and
he majority of the dcvotees OF the
game doubt the assertion, but when
the records of men sent from this
league to the big leagues is shown it
must be conceded that the Tlrec-Eye
is as fast as the Western. 4 review OF
the work Of the four ThreeEye pitch
ers who have gone into the big leagues
IS sufficient TO show The kind Of ball
that is being played in the ThTee-Eye.
In the American league are Petty, for
merly with Cedar Rapids and now
with St Louis; Killian. formerly of
Rockford and now with Detroit and
Jacobsen. formerly OF Decatur and
now with Washington. while Case. I'M
IL recently with Springfield. is now
with the Pittsbarg Nationals. Every

IS due TO the better support given

she fetched the earthenware jar of I'M

charcoal setting it down to get heated
through while she mixed flour and wa

Quent practice she spread the rough
mixture three or four inches thick all
over the inside of the jar. While the
dough was slowly baked by the heat
from the embers inside, Ishta, patient
and docile, as was her wont, cared for
baby, gently restraining the little tru-
ant, who would have crawled away.
Now and again, when the baby limbs
moved quicker and achieved few
