BOY HUNTER STRAYS
FAR FROM HIS HOME
Ernest Drane. IS, of Sterling, Found
Asleep in Doorway of Local
Saloon.

With a little 22-calibre rifle slung
over his shoulder and a small span
iel at his feet, Ernest Drane, a 13-
year-old Sterling boy. was found Sat
urday night sound asleep in the
doorway of the Casino saloon on
Third avenue and Twenty-third
street Officer John Kinney took
charge of the lad and he was kept
at the police station until arrange
ments could be made today with his
parents for having him returned to
his home The boy was thoroughly
tired out when taken into custody.
He claimed that he had walked here
from Sterling, riding only four miles
of the distance with a farmer who
happened TO be passing. The police
are inclined to think that the lad
has fibbed a little, inasmuch as Ster-
ling is So miles away from here and
the boy would have been some walk
er to cover the distance in the time
he claims. Ernest says he had gone
hunting for rabbits early in the
morning, but as he failed to find any
for several hours, he decided TO come
TO this city to visit with an old col
ored nanny. whom he had known
all his life. He failed 10 find her
upon arrival here and as he was tired
he sat down at the Casino steps and
went asleep. He was very anxious
today to get back to his mother

HOLD IT SACRED
Southern Papers Laud Three
Eye Constitution and Rap
Waterloo.
THERE'S ANOTHER SIDE
Violation of Dead Clause in Interest
of Justice FOrestalled One of
Another Sort.

Newspapers in the southern end OF
the Three-Eye are bowling at Waterloo
for violating its agreement with the
league made a year ago. What was
that agreement? Why, to withdraw
without a contest provided the major
ity Of the members of the league ask
ed them TO. Has majority made that
request? Not yet
The Waterloo baseball officials
knew, and so did the other northern
magnates. even If those in the south
did not, that a majority of eight is five
or more and that the league consti-
tuition said as much.
The only manner in which Waterloo
can be accused OF violating the rules of
the league lies in taking the matter in
to the courts. However, il did so on
Iy after it was absolutely assured
that Kinsella and Tearney had things
framed up and were determined to go
through with their program, league
constitution or no constitution.
MERELY TO HOLD ADVANTAGE.
The courts were appealed to to hold
the advantage of possession. II was
merely checkmated another violation
on the part of Kinsella and Tearney
and every Three-Eye magnate and
sports writer knows this. Further
more, the Waterloo violation was in
the interest of fairness and justice,
while that which Kinsella and Tearney
proposed TO railroad through was not
And finally: The court has virtual
ly decided the clause of the consti-
tuition which Kinsella and Tearney
sought to violate is valid, while it is a
moral certainty that if it is ever put
to test the clause that Waterloo vi
olated will be found not worth the pa

tribution TO the Chicago Record Her

Why? Who is under obligations to
Quincy? Let those who made promis-
es to that city and took its money as
an advance payment settle their own
troubles. The Three-Eye owes Quincy
nothing, even if Kinsella and Tearney
do. If it's so serious as that let the
Springfield magnate transfer his team
over from the capital to Quincy. 1t
will be to his financial advantage. and
that's what Dick is looking after all
the time.

Team Adds st. Peter
Scalp to Belt.
WINS BY 20 TO 20 SCORE
Fast Game Is Played Saturday Night

itors Well Treated.

After travelling a whole night and
half a day the Augustana basketball
team defeated the Gustavus Adolphus
team at St. Peter. MINI, Saturday
night by a score of 90 TO 20. II was a
surprise TO the St Peter players, as
they thought they could easily dispose
OF the Augustana boys on their own
floor The 6. a. boys are sharp con-
tenders for the state college champion
ship title of Minnesota.
When news was received of the vic
tory az the college Saturday night
there was great jubilation by the Aug
uGtana students. and the racket was
kept up till midnight The Augustana
students were especially anxious TO bag
this game from their sister school, St
Peter. as il Will put them in direct line
for the championship of the synod.
The AuGustana boys were given roy
a treatment al S. Peter. and every
thing possible was done to advance
their comfort. The 6. A. boys took
tpoir defeat in a sportsmanlike man
J .~, and the best of feeling exists be-
tween the two schools.
OPEN WITH RUSH.
Augustana started ont in the frs
half in a manner which promised TO
make good hash of the St. Peter boys.
For the first Is minutes Augustana
played like fiends. the score al the end
OF that time being "A to in favor of
Augustana. St Peter called for time
because of an injury 10 one of the play
ers, and took 3 minutes. This gave
them a chance to recuperate. When
the game was called again the G. A.
boys played so feroely that before Au-
gustana could stop their squirt the S.
Peter lads had four baskets 20 their
credit The half ended with the score
j to u in favor of the Rock Island
boys
Augustana started the second half
with the determination that ST Peter
should not get the run on them again.
This half was on that account charac-
terized with rougher playing than the
first half. In the first half not q foul
was called against Augustana for rough
playing At no time during the second
half was Augustana in danger. The
playing was fast and heady all the way
through Care was taken not 20 give
St. Peter an opportunity TO take GU
time so as to rest up and make a squirt
PLAYING Is CLEAN.
The playing of Augustana was nea

The POStOffice,
The Popular
Magazine
And the People

A provision has been added to the post
Office appropriation bill by the senate
postofice committee without proper not
ice or public hearing. 1t proved to be an
unjust discriminating and confscatorytax
on the popular magazine. By attaching
this provision to the postofice appropria-
tion bill at the eleventh hour all oppor-
tunity for open discussion and considera-
ton by the people, the publishers and
the senate cut off. 1t an
American start, a proceeding
plished under presidential and polit-
icaI coercion If this bin is passed with
the provision which practically exempts
from taxation magazines which have not
spoken boldly public questions, many
of the popular periodicals will be put out
of business altogether and the others
without exception will be seriously Grip
pied. Even if it were possible for the
magazines to continue in business under
the new conditions, the people would de-
rive no benefit from the measure, for
unless the postofice department is taken
out of politics and businessike man
agement installed it is improbable that
the additional revenue collected will be
used economically. We urge every friend
of honest politics, economical government
and free press to telegraph write
immediate protest to the senators and
representatives.

TIGERS HAVE WON
BUT FOUR GAMES
SINCE LEAVING HOME
McGinnity and Stallings Deny
Story of "Sale" of New
ark Club.
LFrom . stafs corresponasnt.l

BUFFALO. n. Y, May 10.
nut of the last ten games played
~ the Tigers have won four. taking
two from Montreal, one from To-
ronto and the first skirmish in the
present battle with Buffalo. McGinnity,
who predicted that the Bengals would
win h...f their games from the time
they left Newark for a swing around
the circuit is anxious to win today's
game, and it was hard telling today
what pitcher would get the hurting as
signment.
Infielder Dick Nebinger was returned
to the Boston Americans by Joe Nc
Ginnity today. The iron Ma believes
that the third sacker is not fast enough
for the Eastern League.
Today's mail brought an offer from
the Birmingham Club, of the Southern
League, for Catcher Hughie Hearne.
The Troy veteran has been working out
in Jersey City, where his arm is being
treated by a specialist. The offer has
been sent to Hughie and he will prob
ably accept it. as he is a free agent,
having been released outright by Joe
McGinnity two weeks ago.
''The Newark Club is not for sale,
and it has not been on the nlarekt to
George Stallings nor any n else.
The story sent out from Newark, and
circulated throughout the Eastern
League, that George Stallings will come
back to Newark next year as owner
and manager is a malicious ~falsehood
calculated to hurt me, and It will also
hurt S~tallings. / think I know the
man who sent ii out"
Thus spoke Joe McGinnity last night.
interpolatins many strong adjectives In
an emphatic and convincing denial of
the runor that has circulated first from
Rochester and was printed in the Buff
falo evening newspapers yesterday.
Stallings was indignant at first, and
Their passed it off with a smile. EIe
has three major league offers which
he could lake tomorrow to fill a man
ageriai position. but has refused all
because he has a fat contract here and
likes Buffalo.
The best proof that the Iron Man
has no idea of selling out his holdings
in the Newark Club is that he has Sc
riously been cont mplating a spring
training trip fol he Tigers to Okla
homa next spring. II was busy this
spring attending to the reconstruction
work at the new park, and the injury
to my arm following right on top of
other troubles prevented me from being
with the team as much as l should like
to be. Next year I will be with my
men all the time and have the team
ready to get away to another good
start such as we made last year. We
will be in the race, do not fear, when
u pitchers get working. A few vic
tories will bring us up there, and We
will stick in the first division"
Baby Reams, the new infielder,
showed wonderful form in his fielding
in the practise yesterday. Joe McGin-
nifty believes that he win be a sensa-
ton in the Eastern League II he can
