Politics with the candidates
and their friends has become so
warm in this county, that the re-
suit of the Republican primaries
is awaited with feverish anxiety.
For the more important Offices
there is not single candidate
whom majority of the political
prophets will agree upon as q
likely winner. Realizing that the
time for action is brief, the riff
raft are swarming about the can
didates as thick as feas on dog.
TO avoid these pests, as much as
for any other reason, the candi-
dates will all feel relieved when
the campaign is over, whatever
may be the result. A well-known
attorney of this city remarked
today that when he made the
race for Prosecuting Attorney
there was not a half-dozen voters

was paid and credite to Mr..

TEBEAU'S CLAIMS.
creates Quite Howl Among American
Association Managers.

There has been quite a howl among
some Of the American association man
ayers OF late about the rule which com-
pes all players who left clubs In the as
ISOLATION and went to other leagues
prior to the peace agreement to go To
the clubs from which they jumped If
they play ball at all I'm the association.
1t was put through by George Tebeau,
who lost many players TO the American
and Eastern leagues. Among the men
were Dunkle Flaherty Tannehlll Cas-
sldy, Beville. Wolfe, Bruce. Carr and a
score of others. Many of these play
ers are now In position where they
could be returned to the association,
but Mr. Tebeau refuses to waive claim
TO any of them. II IS argued that the
tail-end clubs could strengthen up by
getting these men from the various
clubs II II was not for the fact that
they will have to pay double for them
first the major club and then TO
Tebeau--and they do not think it just
The rule was put through the associa-
ton and there should be no kick now
on the part of the owners OF course
Il rs hard TO see one man having SO
many claims, but Tebeau, who claims
the gpoils as the association, won the
war against the leagues In the National
Minors association. IL must be re-
membered, too that Tcbeau did not
pay for the players whom he secured
from the Eastern league, but then that
was during war times. There is only
one remedy now, and that Is for such
clubs as Toledo, Kansas City and
Minneapolis to so ont ana spend a few
thousand dollars for players, even
though they have to hand George Tes
beau little chunk of money. How

TT is peculiar fact that the average
baseball enthusiast imaglnes that the
national game is a simple one and
yet II is one Of the deepest Of games

often II is heard at the local ball park,

Not many fans really know that ey-
cry professional team has a code Of
slgnals-signals that cause victory, and
sometimes defeat. The catcher gives the
pitcher signal. telling him what kind
of curve TO throw. The coacher gives
the base runner a signal to go down
when the ball leaves the pitchers hand,
and at the came time gives the batter
a signal to hit the ball, no matter where
