was that il the pitching staff he has
signed for the Browns developed as
1t should, the Browns will have the
hest bunch of mound artists that he
has directed since he began his base
ball career.
With this statement the boss of the
Brown outfit took off his coat and set
tied down to summers work. With
a pitching staff. catcher and first
base taken care of in better shape
than they have been for years, Mon
mouth fans are at the heighth of their
glory in the prospects for winning
team.
Part of the Brownie recruits will
report there Friday and give Hougn
chance to look them over before the
main show arrives.

the ground is dry enough. teams will
be put to work on the leyeling of the

According to Manager Queiser, the
men who will report for practice with
the Indians will have to work all the
time. whether they are old men or
rockies No favoritism will be
shown to any of them. The men who
show the goods will be the ones VINO
will land the berth.
The first of the recruits to show in
town was Emmett Murnahan of ST.

night ready for work Murnahan rs
third baseman who has been playing
semi-pro ball around the Mound City.
He is a stocky looking fellow and is
very confident that he will be the
managers choice for the third sack
position.
This man Queisser must have rep
utation in baseball circles that can't
be beat. 1t seems as though the men
he has signed are very much afraid
that the first thing he does after re-
porting the men is to beat them up
just to satisfy his blood thirsty dispo-
sition.

REORGANIzED COMPANY
FAILS TO SAVE MAGAZINE

New York, May 31.-The reorgan-
lied company which has been continu-
ing the publication of Hampton's mag
azine In an effort to save something
for the $4,000 stockholders, who put
their money in as a result of the great
stock selling campaign of few years
ago, has come to the end of its rope.
There is no money to publish the
June number of the magazine, despite
the fact that the forms are already
made up.
A. Gordon Murray, president of the
reorganized company, and the receiver,
who took charge when the stock selling
scheme Of the Columbian Sterling Pub
fishing company collapsed, said today
that it had been decided by the direc'
| tors to apply to the courts at once
for the appointment Of a receiver for
voluntary dissolution of the corpora
| tion.
THE magazine" said Mr.. Murray
''is for sale, but l doubt If anybody
would want to buy 1t. There Is little
market for magazines today. The ad
vertising agencies come pretty nearly
trolling the business. l guess i
means the end of Hampton's mag
azine."
One Of the losers is Speaker ChamI
Clark, who is said to have invested
$4,000 in the publication.
