weeks past, seems to have gotten into
serious trouble. On November Is

Sheriff Caldwell of A1turist, Cal, and
that said Kent was wanted there for
obtaining money under false pref lenses
and that there had been an indictment
found against him on this charge by
the grand jury of his county. The
sheriff in California was notified that
the arrest had been made in accord
ance with this instructions, after
which he secured from the governor
of California an application to Cover
nor HOch of Kansas, asking that Kent
be extradited on said charge. On
November 25 Sheriff Caldwell arrived
in this city and after Identifying the
prisoner he proceeded to Topeka to
see Governor Hoch and present his
application.
Governor Hoch granted the appH-
cation and gave him the necessary
requisition papers and on December
1 the sheriff again arrived here and
secured the custody of Kent and

SEYBOLD GOES TO TOLEDO.
Armour Secures the Philadelphia
for Next Season.


Toledo, o., Dec. Sit is learned on
reliable authority in baseball circles
that President Armour has secured
the services of "Sox'' Seybold, the
heavy hitting outfielder who has been
with the Philadelphia Athletics for a
number of years, to play right garden
for the Mudhens next season. Presi-
dent Armour has been after Seybold
since last summer, but was unable to
put the deal through. He was little
afraid that twisted knee, which kept
the big fellow out of the game for the
first half of the last season, might
incapacitate him for further toll, but
it is said that the knee is all right.
The deal has been kept under cover,
but it is known that Armour has
landed the player from the Phila-
delphia club. With the addition of
Seybold. the Toledo club with Charley
Hickman, Homer SmoOt and Seybold,
will have as fast an outfield as any
club in the league. Besides each one
of the three hit over the 800 mark.
