Kansas City, Jan. 2.--"George Tebeau is spend
ing much time these days searching for Louis
vile and Denver, but as usual he il negecting
Kansas City, says the Star. -"In fact, 1t is
extremely doubtful whether the famous multi
magnate knows whether Kansas City Is on the
map. Right now the managers of the other
teams In the American association are busy col
lectng material for next season, and the papers
around the circuit are already doping" out
the teams for the first division. But Kansas
circuit, Is managerless. There is no one here
to tell what may be expected next season. Sec
| rotary Shriner is in Louisville, Arthur Irwin
has made his final .skidOo and Frank Bonner,
captain of the NUTS last season, is sick in bed.
The latter who is under contract for next sea
son, is Of the opinion that Mr.. Tebeau has signed
few of last years nuts, but he is not positive
! as to who they are.
AS matters stand 1t would not be sur
prlsing to hear at any time that Bonner has been
selected to manage the nuts next season. Bon
Ter IS here on the ground, and it would save
| Mr. Tebeau the expense of paying for transpor-
1 tat1on to send a new man here, and Tebeau
Is always looking after the nickels and dimes.
! as far as Kansas Cityais concerned. Then, again,
bonner Is on the reserve list, and he keep
| him as player, captain and manager for the same
salary he received last year, which was consid-
erably less than $4,000 year. This is not
meant as knock against Bonner. He could
| probably get much out of the nuts as
| Musgsy McGraw-yes, and probably more, as
Frank was president Of the Benevolent Order
! OF Nuts last year. He knows just exactly what
the gang can do and what to expect and conse.
quently he would not be disappointed if they
won game. At any rate, whoever Is sentenced
to lead the nuts TO the cellar next season is to
be pitled He will have nothing to start with
and even less at the finish If by mistake a
good man should be developed here-and such
thing Is remote possibility-it is a certainty
that he would eventually land at Louisville OF
the first teams, then he would make a star NUT
The prospect for great team here 1ext season
Is excellent" FL ~ r.
Jan. 8, In Chicago, the skids will be PLAYED
under one George Tebeau and he will slide to til,
bottom Of the baseball ladder with as much speet
as the nuts developed last year in their MAJ
chase for the cellar championship is, 1
the plans of Doc Shively and other magpate
go thru as per schedule at the National Associa
ton of Minor Leagues meeting. The offcia
meeting Dec. Is, and the names of Tebea
+ and Griffith are missing, and instead will b
, found Doc shively and Joseph O'Brien. Tebea
Is chairman Of the board Of arbitration Of tn
e National Association of Minor Leagues and Grit
: hths Is member says the Star.
According to Shively, the slate which will e
I thfu with rush Is as follows: Pat Powers
president; J. H. Farrell, secretary and ex-ot
e hcfo chairman; members Of the board Of arbitrs
tlon, Judge Kavanaugh, Joseph OBrien, Eugen
Bert, Tim Murnane and d. NJ. Shively It
+ said on good authority that neither Griffths nc
: Tebeau, who were chosen without contest
year ago, can poll three votes at the meetin
q next week: There Is opposition to them o
account Of their league membership but the,
individually, and in connection with others q
their ilk, are regarded unworthy Of trus
The members of the minor leagues are perfect
. satisfied with kavanaugh, Bert, Murnane Pow
d ers and Farrell, and they feel that shively an
r O'Brien should displace rTebeau and Griffith
s who are considered disorganizers.
+ 'Tebeau did lot of tall hustling at tt
~ New York meeting trying to round up ma,
nates,' said President Shively ''but he WI
:, given the cold shoulder at every turn. The s
It called bush leaguers are simply tired of b
tactics and they feel that now is the time
9 get rid Of him for all the time Tebeau <a1
!. his crowd realized that they were beaten at I'll
a New York meeting and they employed their co
- st1tutional rights to gain ground. They. hope
) to get more strength for action at the Chica;
IS meeting but they will be badly fooled. Z L wi
l. be greatly surprised if either Tebeau or Gri
r. fths gets more than three votes. Tebeau CO
"a continue to create trouble in the American a
T ISOLATION, but not in the National associatio
Even in the American association he is like
