THEY SNAP HIM UP.
Alderman, Released from White sox,
Taken by Guthrie.

Alderman, the White Sox left hand
colt pitcher, was released by President
Sheard on Tuesday evening, after the
game which he started with Guthrie at
Association Park so disastrously and
for which he was taken from the box.
Guthrie signed him this morning, and
Manager DalrymDle was more than
pleased to get possession of him. His
acquisition will just about fix US up"
remarked Dal this morning, his face
wreathed with smiles. I think Alder
man VIII make them all hustle after
awhile. He looks mighty good to me.
[ am glad to have him.
Alderman was wild, the only thing to
be charged against him during his stay
with the White Sox. He has curves Of
all kinds and great speed. But for some
reason or other he has not been able to
put the ball over the plate. When he
went into the box on Tuesday afternoon
it was with the DamOclean sword hang
ing over his head. If you don't show
up in this game to the good, you lose
your job" said President Sheard to him
as ne was ordered to the firing line
Naturally he was nervous and for the
life of him he could not get the sphere
to roll down the groove.
It is his first year in baseball. He
made a reputation with Notre Dame
university. With schooling he ought to
develop control, the only thing he needs
to send him into the fastest kind of
company.
Persch who was released on Tuesday
morning will play with Joplin for a few
days. Catcher Vanderhills hand is hurt
and Baerwald had to be brought in
from the field to handle the big glove.
That leaves a vacancy in the garden
which the German viii probably supply.
He has an offer to go to Sedalia per
manently.
President sheard wired George
Blackburn. now with Sedalia, to report
here at Topeka at once if terms are
satisfactory. The big fellow played
with Oklahoma City for time and was
sent to Sedalia. He is not tied up at
the latter place. At one time he pitch
ed for Baltimore and at another for the
Cincinnati Reds But Sheard wants
him for his hitting ability. The big
fellow can smash almost everything
which comes anywhere near the plate.
He will be tried in the outfield if he
comes. His excess avOirdupOis keeps
him out of the big leagues.
Nothing has yet been heard from Ted
Price, the Wheeling. Va. outhelder
who has been wired for. Price is a

to Have Taken Steps
Toward Securing. an Armistice

MEYERS SUDDEN TRIP.
American Ambassador Hurries
to Russian Foreign Office
And Has an Interview With
Minister LamsdOrff.

St Petersburg, June 21-1:30 p. M
President Roosevelt evidently has taken
new and important step in the negoti-
atiOns between the beIigerents. While
there are collateral reasons for believing
that it relates to an armistice which
viii prevent the impending battle in
Manchuria, this cannot be positively af-
hrmed. All that can be stated definite
ly is that Ambassador Meyer went
suddenly to the foreign Office late last
night and had an interview with For
eign Minister LaTnsdorff at which it is
believed the ambassador communicated
an important message from President
Roosevelt, but neither at the foreign
Office CT the American embassy is the
slightest light thrown on what trans
pired.
From the extreme secrecy observed
the matter beyond doubt is one of the
greatest delicacy but as the statement
is vouchsafed at the foreign Office that
negotiations are progressing without
hitch the inference follows that it re-
lates to a new phase in which the presi-
dent has again taken the initiative. This
is the more certain since the communi-
cations between the belIigerents reIat-
ing strictly to the questions of the Sc
lection of place, time and the number
Of the plenipotentiaries were conducted
naturally through Ambassador Cassini
and Minister Takahira through the in
termediary Of Washington whereas ac-
| cording to diplomatic procedure only
communications from Washington reach
Foreign Minister Lamsdorf through
Ambassador Meyer.
Same Rumor in Washington.
Washington, June 21.-It is init
mated in official circles here that nego-
tiations are proceeding looking to an
armistice between japan and Russia.
