BACKSTOP KEEPS TAB ON
WEAKNESSES OF HITTERS
Clifton of Western Association Team
Has FaiIings of His Opponents
on File in Book.

A dope book, which contains the
weaknesses at bat of every player in
the Western association, rests snug
ly and safely in an inside pocket of
the suit worn by Jesse Clifton, the
regular catcher on the Guthrie (Okla.)
Western association team. 1t is un-
derstood that Clifton has received of
fers from every team in the league,
who are DESTROYS of obtaining his in.
side information, but he has refused
to reveal any of the books contents,
even to his closest friends.
This is Clifton's first year in or
ganized baseball. For several years
he has caught on independent teams
in western and central Oklahoma, but
was signed last spring by Manager
Howard Price of Guthrie, who looked
upon him as a conner. He has more
than made good. About % years old,
a school teacher in the winter time,
he has developed into one of the best
men in the Western association, being
a wonderful thrower to the bases, and
probably the fastest man on bases
himself in the association.
When Clifton joined the Guthrie
team last year all the players in the
association were new to him, with
very few exceptions. He was, of
course, anxious to know the weak
nesses of the various batters, and for
this reason he carried with him to the
various cities in the league small
note book, in which he wrote down
the names of all the players, and as
soon as possible noted after each
name the weakness of the man at bat.
This book he has carried with him the
entire season and when new player
joins the team his name and his bat
ting weakness are added to the list.
During the first days of the season,
when, between innings, the Guthrie
manager observed Clifton on the far
end of the bench studiously scanning
the pages of small book he knew
that he was simply preparing for the
men who would come to bat during
the next inning. Of course, after a
few games with each team Clifton
held in his mind the weaknesses of
the various batters. and during the
last days OF the season has had to re-
fer to his note book but few times.

ONE TIME when MANAGER
INQUIRE MADE A MISTAKE
Youngster Who Looked Them Over
Right Fooled Veteran Backstop
the First Day.

Jim Mcclure, the new manager of
the Cleveland Maps, has the reputa-
ton of starting that famous saying,
HE looks over the ball better than
anyone I have ever come across, but
he can't hit EN-"
This was back in 1899 when Chi
cago was trying out a recruit against
McGuire's team in the east. This
youngster completely fooled Jimmy
He came to bat and the first ball
pitched he watched it all the way,
shook his head slightly when it drew
near and didn't even move his bat.
The umpire called it ball. The next
was the same way, and it was a ball.
"Gee!" said Jim, afterwards; chat
kid had me guessing. 1 had always
been leary of that kind of a batter,
where he wants it and then slams it
over the fence" Well, the player got
his base on balls then, and a couple
more the same day. Jim was afraid
to have his pitcher cut the plate.
On the following day, however, Nc
CURE determined to give the youth
the test. Brooklyn had made five runs
in the second inning, and Mcclure
wasn't afraid of consequences. So he
signaled for straight ball, right over
the heart of the plate It came, and
the recruit went through the same old
motions, never made try for it. "But
he surely did look it over sweetly,"
said Mcguire. He famed four times
that day and lasted a week.
HE was one of the few who had
me bluffed the first day." exclaimed
Mcguire later.

ICY" Seymour has come back"
The veteran outfelder of the New
York Giants, who had so much trou-
bic in the early part of the season,
has come into his own, and is clouth-
ing the ball at a terrific clip. In fact,
it was "Cy'' who started the Giants
of on their winning gait. The rest
Of the club followed suit, with the
result that the team is now well up
with the leaders.
"Cy" is veteran, and has always
been rated as a good hitter. One year
he outhit the great Hans Wagner and
led the National league. 1t was as a
pitcher that Seymour first broke into
fast company, and he sure was an
erratic youngster. With curves as
wide as house, but with very little
control, he certainly did some queer
stunts. McGraw made an outfelder
out of him and he at once came to the
front. With his hitting ability and a
good strong arm, he made an excellent
man for the outfield "Cy' says he is
going after Wagner this year, and is
confident he will catch the mighty
Dutchman before the close, of the year.

NEW RULE GOVERNING SALES
National Baseball Commission Makes
Law to Prevent Viola
tions

The national commission has adopt
failed to do, as it has been shown
that the old rule can be and has been
evaded. The new rule CD is:
Whenever a major league club has
sold player to minor league club
with an option to repurchase and such
option has been exercised by the ma
jor league club selling the player, and
the same club then sells the same
player a second time on a straight
sale and then repurchases the player,
then and in such case the purchased
player must report to the major league
club on or before August %, and if
such players do not report, then in
such instances they will be subject to
major or minor league draft during
the regular drafting season from the
club with which they are found play
ing"
AS an illustration, the Brooklyn
club last year sold Player Finelyson to
the Brockton club with an option to
repurchase, which they exercised.
Under the rules this player could not
be sold this year by Brooklyn, the lat
ter retaining an option to repurchase.
The records show that this year he
was sold outright and again repur-
chased by Brooklyn. In this case the
player will have to report on August
% or be subject to draft.

AROUND
BASES

The rumor is more persistent than
ever that Bill Friel of the Columbus
team will be manager of the Toledo
club next season. He and President
Armour are reported to have come to
an understanding.
Columbus broke the American AS
sociation record for the year by max
ing eight errors. Last year st. Paul
set the mark at nine.
Strunk, formerly with the Athletics,
is setting the grass afire in the out
field for the Milwaukee Brewers.
Strunk is fast player, and if his
hitting were harder he would still be
with Connie Mack in the American
League.
Holland, manager of the Wichita
club of the Western Base Ball league,
has sold Willis S. Cole, an outfelder,
to the Chicago American league club,
to report at once. The price was
$4,000.
Three of the best young players of
the year happen to be second basemen
Collins of the Athletics, Egan of the
Cincinnatis and Miller of the Pitts
burgs.
Among pitchers who can stand lots
of work Arellanes of the Boston Red
Sox looms up. He has taken part in
16 parts of games and Is whole games
so far this season.
Mattern, the Boston National pitch
er, is a produce merchant in private
life. While pitching ball for the Doves
this young fellow has managed to pick
up $500 buying and selling Vsg0
tables and fruit on the side.

MAX BASS DIED ON SUNDAY
Great Northern immigration Agent
Passed Away in Chicago Sunday.

Max Bass, general immigra-
ton agent of the Great North
ern, died in Chicago Sunday.
In his service with the Great
Northern, dating from 1891, he
has been instrumental in set
Ting up many miles of land in
the Dakotas, Montana and fur
ther west.
Nr. Bass was an Austrian by
birth and was fifty years old.
AS commissioner of immigra-
ton for South Dakota in 1888
and 1890, Bass attracted the
attention of the Great North
ern management, which en-
gagged him.
Mr.. Bass had the distinction
of having the station Maxbass,
at the terminus of the
line northward from Towner,
named for him, and the branch
is known in Great Northern
serviceas the Maxbass line.
Probably there is no official
of the Great Northern Railroad
company who was more highly
esteemed than Max Bass. He
has done much toward the
settlement of the state and
those who have come under
the spell of his influence
can testify to the mans worth.
There was never a better friend
of the railroad man. Always
ready with a word of comfort
or cheer to all, his pleasant
smile and whole -souled charac-
teristics will be missed by the
railroad men of the state.
North Dakota has perpetual
ed his memory by naming one
of her cities after him, but
better testimony than this can
be found in the mouths of
those who had occasion to deal
with him. He had many friends
in Bottineau county who will
be sorry to learn of his death.

Money Stays In Comm unity.

Money spent for flour that is

finds it's way back again and
every sack displaces just so
much wheat raised here.

ing against. himself and the
farmer that raises wheat, and
the community he lives in.
Woodward's Best Flour is made
from home grown wheat and
the money spent for it's, pur-
chase goes back to the farmer
for grain. The increased value
of your property from having a
mill in yonr town and the thou
sands of dollars spent annually
by the employees of this mill
for butter, eggs, pork, beef and

to appeal to every property
