KRAFT, NEW PEI, MADE
NINE H0MERS IN 8 DAYS

MEN ORLEANS. Jan. 30.-Mauager
Frank has contaminated q deal with
the Cleveland American league club
whereby Outielder Kraft. a Nap re-
cruit. becomes the property OF the local
club.
The deal. according to Manager
Frank, had been pending since the
Southern league session at Birming-
ham last December.
Kraft was purchased by the Maps
sent back there for more seasoning in
from the Flint, Mich. club in 1910, and
1912, Cleveland exercising a repurchase
option. AS a member Of the Flint club
Kraft established new minor league
record, clouting nine home-run drives
in eight days. 1t was because of such
sensational smuggling that the Maps
yanked him back, Scouts Kennedy,
Gilks and others praising the recruit
to the skies.
The record of Kraft for last year,
while not as fashionable as that Of the
previous season. indicates he is a fairly
good man. In 126 games he scored 7S
runs and totaled 1870 base hits for an
average of .21I. stealing 23 bases,
crowding 1s doubles and 7 triples into
his record

GUM SLOT MACHINES
AGAIN KNOCKED OUT

Attorney General w. L. Moose
is an opinion Monday afternoon
knocked out the slot machine
again. The mayor of Minturn
with a watchful eye for revenue.
inquired of the attorney general
if the town could Incense slot
machines which always give up
)iece of gum for each nickel in
serted in the slot, and the person
supplying the coin would have a
chance to secure as high as 81
worth of merchandise in addition.
The attorney general stated that
if the machine handed only five
cents worth of gum for each coin
played it would not be a violation
Of the law. but the extra mer-
chandise made it a game of
chance, and as such it could not
be licensed by any town or city.
