Being without funds, he felt the pangs
of hunger many times, but after trav-
cling several days he met Fred Fos-
ter, a lumberman and cattle dealer OF
Warner. N. H., who gave him job
driving cattle from place to place and
allowed him to trade on his own &C.
count. For his first weeks wages he
took a yearling heifer. and before he
reached the next town he had traded
It for a carriage. The carriage was
hitched behind the team that followed
the cattle, and was sold before he had
gone five miles further for about four
times what the heifer cost him. This
was the beginning OF his trading after
he left home. and he continued TO
trade until he thought he had enough
to convince his father that he knew
his business. Mr.. Ovens says he is
convinced. The trip took nearly a
week, and the boy says they averaged

QUINN AND FLOOD GO
TO THE MANSFIELD CLUB

Mansfield whereby Tim Flood and
Bobby quinn are traded to that
cub for William King, the crack
third baseman of the Tigers.
The message states that the
commission is still in session and
has been unable to reach decis-
ion. 1t is the general impression
among the magnates that the Ohio
and Pennsylvania league will be
told to play BAH without any
changes this year with the under
standing that an stterDt will be
made to redistrict next year. This
plan is agreeable to the western
clubs, but the easterners are fight
ing it as hard as is possible. 1t fs
certain that the Eastern clubs win
abide by the decision of the COM
mission rather than withdraw from
organized baseball :,
The trade pulled Off by the di-
rectors of the club is more or less
of surprise to local fans. Flood
and Quinn are both regarded az
players of great ability. The for,
mer failed to show his usual class
with Marion last year and It was
thought that he was dissatisfied.
Quinn played great game here

George Rindernecht of Bradford
