WILLIE KELLER IS RELEASED
Highlanders Let Him Go, Free to
Sign With ANY Club.

NEW YORK, February 23.-Wiliie
Keller received his unconditional release
from the New York American League
club yesterday and is a free agent. In
letting Keller go President Farrell said:
Il could have sold Keeler's release to
several clubs, but in view Of his long and
faithful service 1 decided that he ought
to have the right to negotiate with any
club he may fancy. He is not back
number by any means and played some
fine ball for the Highlanders last year,
but as Manager Stallings is bent on try
ing young players this year we felt that
Keller could do himself justice else
where. Wherever he goes he will carry
with him my best wishes"
Keller began his major league career
in 1892 with the New York club, coming
here from Binghamton as a third base
man. He was released to Brooklyn and
was later traded to Baltimore with Dan
Brouthers for Shindle and Treadway.
Hanlon put Keller in right field. and he
quickly became star. When Baltimore
consolidated with Brooklyn Keller went
10 the latter club. but he joined the
American League movement in time to
begin with the Highlanders in 1908. He
has been with the Hillmen ever since.
IL was reported last night that Keller
might sign with the Giants or the Brook
Ivns as McGraw and Dahlen are among
his best friends
The Highlanders also released Duke
Farrell the veteran coach. yesterday. As
Catcher Criger will look after the teams
pitchers, il was decided that Farrell could
be spared.

FOLEY ANNOUNCES RELAY. !
Three Novices Will Run on Blue
and GRAY Quartet.

Coach BILLY Foley of the Georgetown
University track team has determined
that his relay for the annual race against
Virginia will be picked from among Capt.
Martin, Muligan, Vlymen. Gross and
Brennan. Of these, Martin is the only
old man who has carried the Blue and
GRAY colors in team event before. while
Vlymen, Gross and Mulligan are novices.
Brennan has had some experience while
in prep school.
The loss of Lancaster, Byrd and Gibbs
has left the Hilltop school in a bad lurch
and prospects for triumphing over Vir-
ginia are at present very dubious. Foley,
however, still maintains that surprise
will be sprung on those who have not
watched his youngsters in action, and 1t
must be admitted that not for years have
the candidates on the heights trained so
faithfully as they have this winter. All
of the men are in tiptop condition and
will be able to do their best work, which
NAV be, since they have not been seen in
action, much better than what the dope
SterS expect.
Coach Foley says that another winter
the Blue and Gray school will be able to
nut out two-mile relay team that can
match up against the best in the country.
He deduces this from his observations of
the Youngsters at present in training, the
great majority of whom have never had
any experience before this winter. They
have improved wonderfully, according to
the coach, and will be in fine fettle for
work another season

Norman Elberfeld drifted into the city
this morning from Garrett Park, and,
after "a conference with President N0yeS,
placed his name to a contract for the
coming season. The Kid" was seen
after the conference. and said he is i'm
mensely pleased with the way the club
is treating him.
The contract I have just signed, said
Elberfeld lis entirely satisfactory. There
were one or two things l had to break
ground on. and President Noyes also very
nicely met me half way on other points
that he wanted.
There was no serious objection from
me on anything, as / am too anxious to
get to Washington to kick. 1 feel that l
am dealing with gentlemen down here.
and | will prove my appreciation on the
ball field
President Noyes also gave out the news
that Elberfeld will be sent to Hot Springs,
Va, for ten days previous to the opening
of the practice work at Norfolk. Elber-
field will leave for the Springs Friday
night or Saturday morning.
The Kid says that the Virginia Hot
Springs are superior to those out in
Arkansas
What can you do down there?" a re-
porter of The Star asked the Kid be-
fore he started for his. home.
well, there are the mountains all around
10 climb, and they have a nice ball field
down there. The employees of the Springs
are great ball fans, and / can get all the
work / want with them. They will toss
them up to me TO hit and are plenty fast
enough to keep me busy in the infield
play.
..IlI go down there for ten days, have
a good conditioning and then join the
other fellows at Norfolk when the prac-
tice season starts.
The nice part about getting in condi-
ton at the Springs Is that a player can
go out and work with all his might, and
after he has boiled out in the evening be
entirely free of soreness the next day.
This sort of conditioning can be repeated
daily, and the player gets so loosened up
in his muscles that he is in almost mid
season shape by the end of a week..
ElberfeId inquired particularly after the
players at the Arkansas health resort
and expressed the opinion that every one
of them will be in fine fettle when they
reach Norfolk.
There is nothing like the Springs fol
early work, and the only risk q player
runs is in getting into cold weather alter
he has once limbered up. IL gets pretty
hot out in Arkansas about this time and
the boys will have to be very careful
when they come east, unless warm
spell sets in.
The Kid is a great personal friend
OF Ad Wolgast. who put it all over Bat
Nelson yesterday afternoon. and was
highly pleased over the victory.
IF | had been betting man | could
have reaped a harvest. | met Wolgas,
last fall on a steamer going TO Boston
and he told me then TO bet everything
7 had on him, as he was sure OF whip

gambling on horses and also cards, ane

suit But l sure would like TO have hat
a twenty spot on AID yesterday.

1t was not until the runners reached the
final turn on Military road that the Johns

little Is Fairly Won,"
Says Referee Smith

Referee Smith made the following
statement:
"Wolgast fought Nelson at his
own game and beat him fairly and
squarely. Nelson complained at
times Of Wolgast's butting, but I
paid little heed. as it was simply
the case of one battler getting the
worst Of game-where both were
equally guilty.
Both men fought the same, but
one had youth. the power to come
back, vigor. life and all that goes
with 1t, while the thirteen years OF
fighting through which Nelson had
gone had Slapped his strength and
left him without the old snap, dash
and stamina"

WASHINCTON'S
GOOD STREETS
MAYOR DIXON TAKES GREAT
PRIDE IN CITY AND WANTS
GOOD ROADS.

Washington, Ia, April 1A.-While
all this noise Is being made concern
ing the good roads movement in Iowa,
It might not be amiss to state that
Washington has mayor who takes
more pride in good streets than any
other city of like size in the state
Mayor Dixon. as soon as elected in
the spring Of 1909, started upon a cru
SADIE for good streets. Public senti-
ment was dorment as it is yet, re-
{ riding the advantage Of his efforts.
but nothing daunted him. He has
plugged along until Washington has
some of the best streets in the state.
This season big traction engine,
hitched to heavy power scraper, is
being used on the streets. This is CIV
ing far better satisfaction than the
drag, which was used extensively last
season Mayor Dixon Is enthusiastic
over the good roads movement over
the state, and hopes to see the time
when all the roads Of Iowa are put In
At for traffic at all times Of
the year.
