New York. Feb. 16 -"Chic" Hart
man, one of the best ball players ever
developed In the Bronx. has a griev-
OUT brigade Last year "Chic" was
a member Of the Sioux City (Western
league) team and created a sensation
by his fast work at short field and
his hard hitting. His batting average
for the season was .308.
Friends of Hartman expected to see
him drafted by a big league club last
year, but were disappointed. Now
comes story that the Buffalo club
of the Eastern league has its eyes on
the Bronx boy, and through "Jack"
Hendricks the Buffalo owner, made
an offer of $1,000 to Sioux City for
Hartman's release.
Sioux City turned down the offer,
claiming that if Hartman showed as
much improvement in 1911 as he did
in 1910 it would be able to sell Hart
mans services to some big league club
at a much larger figure.
Hartman received his contract some
time ago from Sioux City, but his sal
airy was not increased over last years
mark. Hartman made kick. but the
owners refuse to raise his salary and
Hartman thinks he is a victim of in
justice. He wants to play in the east,
and although he has made many
friends out west, he will not be salts
fed until he secures a position with a
club east of the Mississippi
Hartman's rise in the baseball world
has been rapid. He played one season
with the Pottsville, Pa, club, then
went to Forth Worth, Tex, for a year
and has been two seasons in the West
ern league, having played with the
Denver club for a season and a half
and with Sioux City since the middle
of last summer, when he figured in a

Columbia. Mo-. Feb. 1.-THE only
way for the University of Missouri bas-
ketball team to win the Missouri Val

Kansas in both of the games to be

Missouri will reach first place with a
percentage of $50, while Kansas will
drop back to second place with .625.
Missouri has six games yet to play.

Tom P. Fairweather. president of

BETTER SERVICE TO PUBLIC.
Principal Reason for Reorganization
of Rock Island.

1.-THE principal reason for the
change in organization was the desire
to furnish better service to the public
is the official announcement of the
Rock Island on reorganization. "The
first requirement is a decentralization
of authority heretofore held in Chi
cago. On each of the three districts
the general manager will be supreme
on the matters local to his district
and with coordinate departments, will
keep in touch with and meet service
conditions promptly by frequent con-
ferences. In the operating depart
ment, both the general uperintendents
and division superintendents will have
on their staff the mechanical and en-

LONG MAY SANTA FIE FLAG WAVE
Erie Paper Says Road Has Helped
Kansas to the Front.

The Erie Record: 1.-THE Santa Fe
railroad, which is the biggest enter
prise in Topeka, entertained the edi-
tors, their wives and other guests at
a MONDAY luncheon that is simply
past description. It was never sur
passed by a similar function in Kan
sas, the west, or even the east for that
matter. The Santa Fe never does
anything by halves and they demon
strated to the Kansas editors that they
not only know how to run a railroad,
but they likewise know how to get up
all the good things to eat. how to
serve them and how to make their
guests feel at home. The Santa Fe is
purely and simply a Kansas institu-
ton and is looked upon by the people
of Kansas, with the exception of a few
'reformers,' as being one of the most
important factors that has made
Kansas one of the foremost states in
the Union. Long may the flag of the
Santa Fe wave and may it not be long
until the wild-eyed reformerin Kansas
will be looked upon as a greater pest
to the state than grasshoppers and hot
winds of long ago."

MAJORS USE FREE BAsEBALLs
Manufacturers Pay Money Beside
National Schedule Ont.

New York, Feb. 16.-For a bonus,
said on good authority to be s5OO.O00
the National League of professional
baseball clubs. in session here made a
2O-year contract with a leading SPORT
ing goods firm to use a baseball of its
manufacture for the official league ball
1t is the same ball that has been used
by the National League .he last 16

mates rejected an offer of a Cincin-

Heretofore it has been commonly sup
posed, even among the players, that the
big leagues paid about 81 cents each
for balls which sell at retail at $1.25.
But the developments show they not
only pay nothing, but receive all the
balls they use free and very consfd-
cradle cash besides. The ball in o1es-
ton is made in Chicago and the con-
tract begins with the season of 1912.
The league schedule was adopted
without change and the schedule al
ready prepared and sent out stands
the clubs will travel s9,733 miles dur
ing the season. Chicago gets the worst
OF the schedule, according to baseball
men. The club must travel 1850 miles
and has nine conflicting dates.
The club mileage for the season ac-
cording to the schedule, will be as fol-
lows:
Boston. 1I224. miles; Brooklyn. 1897
miles; New York, 1854 miles; Phila-
delphia, S.426 miles; Pittsburg, 1850
