There is an Excellent Chance o.
Noyes, Tanning and Williams
Making Good With
the Majors.
HoWELLs PICKED THEM
Colonel Bob Who Has Turned
Scout Has Eagle Eye for Play
ers-What St. Louis Sport
Writer Says.

Although Harry Howells was re-
leased by President Hedges of the
st. Louis Browns, because Colonel
Bob thought Howells had something
to do with the Lajoie batting scandal
the former Brown pitcher has demon
strated his worth as scout. 1t was
Howell who picked up Pitcher Winnie
Moves, who belonged to the Ottumwa
club, Gus Williams. the hard hitting
outfielder of the Monmouth Browns
and Pitcher Tanning of the Galesburg
club. Word comes from st. Louis dope
writer's at Hot Springs that the three
Central association players will prob
ably land regular berths on Bobby"
Wallace's club. In speaking of the
three players, the sporting writer of
the st. Louis Times says:
Gus Williams will stick. That
goes, despite the fact the big fly chas-
er famed the bally air four times in
the two games already played with
the Reds. Williams looks more like a
hitter when striking out than many
of the other players do when lining
out singles. At present Williams is
hitting for speed, and the speed isn't
tn, re- He's about a month ahead of
the parade. Then he's also over anxi.
Gus. He has read the lavish boosts
given him and he is bit nervous, but
he's a hitter. and he's bound to get
his bearings before many more days.
MIR. Noyes and Mr.. Tanning also
show signs of major league caliber,
and there's chance both will be gv-
en- at least lingering berth in the
big arena to prove their worth. Noyes
is husky youth, and physically forti-
fed to stand the gaff of the big
league battling. Tanning BANKED the
Reds without the semblance of a hit
or run for three innings Sunday. One
man reached first while the Central
association recruit adorned the hill
and he got there when Blake muffed
an easy grounder.

Edward Reichle, demon swatter and
star outfelder, is no longer a holdout
The big fellow came to terms with
Manager Frank Belt today and sign
ed contract for the coming season
Belts pennant aspirations are given a
lively tilt and fans will be deeply
joyed by the news.
The news that Reichle has affixed
his signature to piece of Keokuk
paper lifts the gloom that has been
hanging over the local camp for a
long spell With Reichle missing,
Belts outfield would have persisted be-
fore the enemy. but with the onter

To Begin Fourth Year.

Reichle will begin his fourth year
with Keokuk. He came here III the
rough and developed into one of the
best outfielders the league ever pro-
duced His marked improvement was
shown during the second year, when
he hit the ball at clip close to 300
during the five months OF ball playing.
Last year he was handicapped in the
early part of the season by bad
knee. and he did not obtain the best
results at any time during the cham
pionship games. Reiehle batted PSI
and made only nine errors in the Ut
field

Matters Patched up.

OF course in the beginning it was
known that Belt and Reichle struck a
snag when the salary consideration
was mentioned Belt made an offer,
the top figure he said. but Reichle
could not see it because of the high
cost of living, he said
Now it is given out at baseball
headquarters that salary differences
have been settled. Whether Reichle
took the cut, or the association came
up notch, or both conceded few
pennies is conjectural However, this
is not a matter with which the fans
are much concerned as long as Reichle
is to play ball under cover of an In
dian uniform

in political campaigns in recent years.
what Colonel Morrison had to say of
Stephen "a. Tbuglas' campaign for
United States senator in 1858 is per-
t6nent and interesting. Aslledtf it
was true that Senator Douglas spent
a large sum of money In that cam.
paign he said:
Il don't believe that Douglas him
self spent any money aside from what
was necessary to defray his own per-
sonal expenses From this point of
view his campaign must have involved
considerable expense He travelled
about the State in special car, and
always had with him number of
newspaper men and others whose Ell
tertainment mecesIRrily cost some
thing. But money was not used then
in the manner in which 1t Is used in
the political campaigns of the present
date. Men could not be bought then
with two dollar bill. The man who
would offer a bride to the average
voter would have been In danger of
being lynched. 1t is possible that
money was spent in limited way
In Madison County: but Whatever was
spent there came from st. Louis.
Douglas had most powerful friends in
Missouri and especially In ST. Louis,
and they were intensely interested in
the outcome of the Senatorial contest
in Illinois. Madison County was ex-
ceedingly close, and the two members
elected from there really decided the
Senatorial election. AS ! recall it,
IL Lincoln could have carried Madi-
son County me would have been elect
ed There were some rumors at that
time that money had been spent there
in the interest OF Douglas; but how
true these stories were, have no
personal knowledge. In any event, 1t
was impossible then to use money in
the way in which 1t is used now.
Il remember distinctly that at the
conference have already mentioned
in Springeld early in 1858 the matter
of campaign expenses was one of the
things discussed. There was no
thought of a large campaign fund, but
merely little money to pay the ex-
penses of printing hand bills and such !
trifiing matters. A TWO dollar bill |
then looked as big as twenty thou
sand dollars in a compaign Of these
times. At conventions, of course, a
little money was spent at times in
helping delegates pay their expenses.
Many Of the men who attended con-
ventions in those days as delegates
were too poor to pay their own ex-
penses and the outsiders who went
along were expected to help them out.
