CLASS A A PLAYERS
MAKE GOOD


No American association manager fiIs
season seems to be banking upon the re-
turn before the start of the season of
any player who was promoted at the
oils club is going ahead as if none of the
bunch sent to the Chicago Americans is
to be returned.
Columbus sent up four men, and a
place on the team is not being held open
for one of them. Kruger and Link land
ed in an excellent place for display
of their talent. On the Cleveland club
there is but little opposition for either.
Geyer and Pickett, disposed of to the
St. Louis Nationals. viii have harder
fight. Bresnahan has II other pitchers.
He won't carry more than 10 at the
most. Geyer has the best chance, ap-
Toledo didn't promote player, al
though Robinson, a poung pitcher, was
drafted by Cleveland but turned back
soon after the lifting process had been
completed. So people of Henville are not
! interested in the major career of any
bud"
Indianapolis lost Cheney to Cincinnati
The young Oklahoma pitcher is having
some trouble with a knee that was in
jured last season He may go back to
the Browns, but Carr is considering him
just the same as gone for good.
st. Louis Americans need Emery Olson
so much that there is not much danger
of him being fired back to Louisville
Olson can't agree on terms with the
Browns, DuC ne VIII later on, II ne really
has the GOOD sense he is supposed to
possess.
Gus Hetling. drafted from Kansas
City, is with the Browns at their camp.
He has caught on well. and it is sup
posed that the Blue third baseman will
be some one else. Day Shay is hunting
for Hetling's successor, and not resting
and waiting for the return of Gus
Frank Schneiberg. the Milwaukee
pitcher, who once ate his way off the
Detroit American club, has Joined the
Brooklyn party at Hot Springs. A. A.
batters will be glad enough if ihe sticks
for they were never right sure that he
wouldn't send up a 'beaner." Schnei-
berg wasn't a bit backward about trying
to hit a batter who had incurred his dis
pleasure.
Fred Leise, lost by draft by St. Paul. is
assured of work with the Boston Ma
tionals. Chicago took Block, Gill, Young
and 0lmstead from Minneapolis. All
have gone to the coast The places of
Block and Gill have been filed temper
arily, at least. Olmstead would be wei
coined back, but another major club may
prevent him going.

pail Championship from the Y. M c. A
nye Wednesday night, IS 10 20.
The team work Of the Riehls was
trlffe better than that of the Y. NJ. Z. ~
five, and their basket shooting a little
more fortunate. The losers showed the
effects of lack of practice.
An unusual feature of the game is that
the score at the end of the game is just
double the score at the end of the first
half on both sides.
Men on both sides seemed inclined to
try long shots in preference TO passing to
a closely guarded teammate. McGregor
and Barnett divided honors in basket
shooting. each registering four. Faw
cett, Wise and Bidwell divided honors
with three apiece. Blythe's foul shoot
ing was superior to that of his opponent.

A T about the same time. two mysterious messengers
~ arrive in the United States-one a man, the other a
beautiful young woman. The former visits Professor Shis-
kin, a distinguished scientist, formerly of Russia. The lat
ter goes to the New York apartments of a rich young
there when he returns at midnight. The man speaks
n few mysterious words to Professor Shiskin and de-
mands his obedience to the dictates of the Revolutionary
brotherhood of which both are members; then he tells
him of plans to recover the vast Russian treasure that
lies at the bottom of the Baltic in the wreck of a ship
scuttled by the Revolutionists. He commands Shfskin
to believe that they are merely scientists investigating
the Baltic sea bottom. The young woman, Marie Fftz-
hugh, tells Caruth that she comes for a letter that is
30 be delivered to him that very night-a letter found
near the coast where a Russian ship was wrecked. The
letter comes: she demands it; while Caruth is protesting
her claims to his letter. his valet. Wilkins. appears and
open and finds that Wilkins prediction as to its con-
tents is right and gives it to him. Miss Fitzhugh. in a
frenzy of fear and with threats of dire vengeance upon
Wilkins. buys the letter. but when wilkins has gone.
she discovers that the envelope no longer contains the
real sea-stained message. but a dummy of blank white
paper. Caruth pursues Wilkins. only to discover his body
letter. He forces Miss Fitzhugh to hurry away before
the police come and sees her disappear in the dark with
another man. He conceals the real story from the po-
lice, but confdes it to Bristow, a newspaper man, to
whom he appeals for help in locating Miss Fitzhugh and
protecting her. because he loves her. He is also prompt
ed to action by the appearance of a westerner. Tom
kins This man says he vas summoned to New York by
his brother and he displays a copy of the missing letter
a letter from a sailor that tells of the millions of sunken
Russian treasure. This stranger threatens and lmpresses
Caruth that he is dangerous.
Caruth seeks out Miss Fitzhugh to warn her. She
confdes in him that she is an ernissary of a revolution
ay society, sent to organize an expedition to rescue the
sunken gold, but she denies that she or her friends
killed wilkins, the valet. caruth impulsively declares
his love for her. and pledges himself to aid her. She in
sists on meeting the westerner. Wilkins, and finds from
him that he holds the key to the location of the treasure
ship. He is taken into the plan and caruth offers his
own private yacht for the expedition.
