GREATEST AUCTION BLOCK SALE
YET in HUMAN BASEBALL CHATTELS

waiver price of $500, in 1910,
and next season was traded to
Chattanooga for First Baseman
Doc Johnston and $1,000.
Johnston was a New Orleans
sensation and went to Cleveland
in exchange for Infielders Mills
and Butler, Catcher Angemeier
and Pitcher Cullop, purchased
from the Appalachian league by
Cleveland for $500.
In New Orleans Cullop pitched
several few hit games, but failed
TO attract the scouts. When the
team went to Cuba he pitched his
famous 12-inning game and the
next day Charlie Frank placed
his value at $4,000 when Gerry
Hermann wanted to buy him.
Connie Mack was after CulIop.
but when Charlie Somers of
Cleveland unwrapped his bank
roll he quit.
In addition to $500 cash
Cleveland gave New Orleans Sec

Cleveland's expense. The value
OF the six players is placed at

NEW YORK LETTER

ductor, was at the piano. To his
accompaniment, the boy sang an
aria from LA Boheme," then one
from 81 Pagliacci." With his first
notes every man and woman at
work within sound of his voice
stopped work and listened. Try
outs of voices are common at the
Metropolitan. But not such
voices as this one.
When he had finished, the
critics were agreed that one of
the richest and most beautiful
tenor voices known to musical
history had been displayed. Am
alto offered to give the boy two
months lessons free. Gatti and
the others will not lose sight of
him.
So begins new chapter in the
life of Theodore Kittay, who, "a
hours before, had been singing on
t1fth-av for such contributions
as might be deposited In his hat.
A newspaper reporter heard him,
recognized the wonderfully quality
or his voice and introduced him
to the Metropolitan authorities.
Kittay is 23 years old. He was
born in Russia, and studied music
five years In the Imperial conser-
vatory of st. Petersburg. He is a
pianist as weIl as a singer, and
has been trying for three years to
earn his living as a musician in
this country. He lives with his
mother and three sisters in ten
ement in Avenue b, but II the ex-
pectations of those who have
heard him are fulfilled, the Kit
tay family is destined to see more
prosperous days before another
opera season has drawn to a close.

Jim Jeffries is mounted high on
the water wagon today while
Barney Oldfield is keeping pace

On Jeffries' ability to cling to
the seat for one year, during
which time he must also forego

of a 81, 500 pot which reached its
size in small pieces, Jeffries and

Some city officials have drawn the

a good deal of the work for which the
social survey will be paid. Sanitary
Sergeant Ramsey says that he will be able
to do all that has been requested of him,
because work in the sanitary department

Another Bridge Agitated.

The continued fullness of Red
River, which cuts travel be.
tween Spout Spring and Win
chester, has caused the revival
of talk for a bridge at the mouth
of Lulbegrud creek, between
Estill and CLARK counties. This
bridge would be of great con-
venience to the people of that
part of Estill county and of mo-
mentous value to Winchester
and Clark county. A large trade
is always going over this route
to the Clark county capital
when the river is down, but when
it is up this travel must come
round by the Walters Ferry
bridge and usually is stopped.
The writer was reared in this
section of EstiIl county and
knows what a bridge at the
point above mentioned would be
worth to these people, and to the
residents of Clark county as we'll.
We hope to see this bridge built
at an early dafe and are willing
to aid the prospect in any way
we can.
