1t is said on the local campus today
that the Missouri valley body may go

SAMUEL LEVER
HAS E E

Minneapolis, Feb. 1.-Samuel Lee
yer. pitcher las season ON the Mime
apolls club and n of the most in
teresting characters in baseball. was
today given his unconditional release
by President Mike Cantillon.
Last May, when the Millers were
in the throes of "a losing streak that
BODIED i'll for championship aspira-
tons, LeeNer was hustled from his
home in Goshen, Ohio, and Joined the
club at Columbus. AS a reward for
long and faithful service at Pittsburg
where he wrote his name i'm red ink
across h history of baseball, he was
also given an unconditional release.
After leaving the Pirates, the veter-
an hoped to spend the remainder Of
his life on his Ohio farm and enjoy
the fruits of his labors, and 1t was
only after much cajoling on the part
of President Cantillon hat he was
finally coaXed into the harness again.
Lever was not worked hard with
Minneapolis, II was used mostly as
an emergency man. When the other
pitchers found themselves over
whelmed by a, sudden and furious
batting rally. it was the former Pi-
rate who was generally chucked into
the breach. 1t was his strong forte
to quell incipient batting rallies. and
in this respect alone he proved VAL
liable to the champions.
Lever spent the greatest part Of
his baseball life with the Pittsburg
club. How he happened to join the
Pirates Sam explained one night last
summer, when a bunch Of the Millers
were indulging i'll their evening Cos
sip. Here is the way Sam told it:
Il used to teach school in Ohio
and play ball in the summer when
I was not working on the farm.
There wasn't a great deal of money
in the pedagogue business and be-
gan to get dissatisfied. The nearby
towns all had teams. and I pitched
for them all in turn. 1 never was
very anxious to get into professional
baseball and don't think I'd have
done so if they had paid me more
for teaching school.
We'll, n day a Pittsburg scout
looked me owe and after the game
asked me to sign up. l had heard
of the big a the players got and
after looking at the matter from ev-
cry angle. put my name to the doc
ument. AS the pay offered me was
more than i could make in%structing
the young Americans l east my lot
with Pittsburg, and / was never sorry
for it,"

Tip" O:Neill of the Western league
this afternoon paid to Attorney
Claude Wilson, acting for George +.
Truman in the ~receivership action
against the Lincoln baseball club, a
certified check for $~7,335.95.
The receivership suit was accord
ingly dismissed although four credi-

$3.50. Two other suits against the
club are still pending, hut they total
only about, $500.
The notes on which the suit was
brought by Truman We're turned over
to the private secretary of Charles
Comiskey of the Chicago White Sox,
which confirms the belief that Comis-
key is backing the local club.
President O'Neill, however. stated to
District Judge Stewart that each of
the club presidents here, Fairweather
and Isbell of Des Moincs, Hanlon of
Sioux City, Holland of st. Joseph and

WINTER SPORTS

Chicago. Feb. Duluth. Mimi. is
the center of winter sports in America.
This was the suggestion made by the
delegates to the National Ski ~associa-
ton tournament which WAS held at
Cary. I'LL. and it is probable that the
move will be PIT on foot with promi-
nent Chicagoans offering their sup
port,
The move is to hold each year a
tournament which will include all the
winter sports and continue for a week.
1t is a custom of the countries where
conditions make ice sport possible,
but so far Americans have failed To
take any concerted action along such
lines. 1T is proposed to hold cham
pionslips i'm. overy branch of winter
sport. This would include the ski
championships. skating races, tobog-
gaming. curling INC hockey. In time
the games would assume as much i'm
portance as do the big summer events
at present. Duluth is proposed on ac-
count of its being the ideal winter spot.
