Cincinnati, O., Aug. 13.-The COM

the Minneapolis club of the American
association, is not living UP to its
agreement with him and the st. Louis
American league club. relative to the
salary he was to receive from the for
mer club, when he was released by st.
Louis, was decided against the player
by the National Baseball commission.
Williams claimed that his salary of $3,-
500 was to be continued instead of
which he is receiving $4,000.
williams further commended that it
was understood he was to be made
manager of the st. Joseph club by
President Cantillon of the Minneap-
oils club. In this matter the commits
sion says the evidence showed that
when Cantillon secured Williams it
was his purpose to give him the man
agement of the st. Joseph club. but
Cantillon failed to get that club.
The commission also handed down
its finding in the case of Player

If the westside had few more men
like A. E. Baumann, West Main street
would compare fayorably with the east
side. Through his enterprise and faith
in WatertOwn, the old building at the
southwest corner Of West Main and
North Water streets is being remodeled
and when the improvements are COM
pleted, it will be one of the best business
blocks in the city. The first story is to
be used as an ice cream and candy en-
porium and the equipment will be che
very finest in the city. The second and
third stories are to be made into lnvlt-
ing flats, with all the modern conven~
fences. In the spring the exterior OF
the building will be painted and made
attractive; and credit to Mr.. Baumann

Accidentally Killed

Alfons Van de Maele, young Bel
gian, met a tragic death Saturday ev-
ening on the Milwaukee road right-of-
way between Ninth and Tenth streets.
The young man, who is II years OLD
resided in Breckenridge street with
a number of his countrymen, was evi-
IDENTIFY doing some shopping and buy
ing provisions in the city for their
Sunday dinner, had started for home.
When he attempted to cross the

freight train going east to pass and
crossed the track in the rear OF the
freight train directly in front OF the
passenger No. 20, which arrives here
from Milwaukee at 6:28 p. M, and
was instantly killed, his head and
body being badly crushed. He was
taken to the morgue by Chief OF Po-
lice H. c.. Block and later was iden-
titled by two of his countrymen with
whom he was employed in the sugar
beet fields near the city. Over $13
was found on his person and it is said

and tragic death was a great shock to
his companions and co-workers in the
sugar beet fields here. His parents
