Umpire Eckmann is a resident of
Chicago and is an old timer at the
baseball business. He has been in
terested in teams in and around Chi
oago for several years. He is the man
who converted Brick Owens from a
poor ball gplayer to a good umpire.
Owens tried to play a few years ago
on a Chicago semi-professiona1 team
but did not make good at it. He UNI
pired d few games and Eckmann rec
ognizing his ability secured him q
berth as an indicator handler in the
Northern league. From there he came
to the western association and was
on this league two years ago and part
of last year. He went to the Ameri-
can association about the middle of
last year, and is still in that league.
E5ckmann was recommended to
Shfveley by owens and the results of
his work are sufficient to cause Shive-
leg to@keep an eye on him, for next
year..

owing to the violent reports which

ates President Breese from any
blame of the affair:
1T has been stated in GER
tain Topeka papers time and
again that the management OF
the Wichita baseball club on
August 16-17-1S misused and mis-
treated the Topeka baseball team.
This is a mistake. D. e. Breese, the

In the Strong Room.

~ ROBABLY the only man who was
lever inside of the strong room OF the
Bank Of England without having full
permission from the officials was q
worker in the sewers some years ago.
One morning the bank authorities were
astonished to receive a letter from some
one. In which the writer stated that he had
spent the last two nights in the bank s
strong room, and that II two OF the bank
representatives would meet him there that
evening he would explain the manner in
which he made his entrance.
He was waiting TO receive his visitors
and brisfiy explained that while working
in the sewer he discovered that a loose
stone would give him access to the vault.
Not being a thief, he had simply enjoyed
the novelty of his visit and had notified
the bank that proper precautions might be
taken.
The floor was made stronger and the
workman was handsomely rewarded Since
then there have been no unauthorized noe
turnal visitors.
