Where Does 0'Day Stand!

Hank O'Day, former manager of the
Cincinnati Reds, would like very much
to thumb an Indicator in the American
League this year; but before he can
accept a job from Ban Johnson 1t ap-
pears that his case will have 10 be
looked into by the National Baseball
Commission. President Tom Lynch re-
Gently had a talk with O'Day, and. 1t
is said tried hard to induce him to
again don the windbag and headgear
of the National circuit, but Henry re-
fused point blank to listen TO any over
lures toward returning to the old
league.
He evidently believes he can draw a
larger salary for umpiring in the
johnson organization. and. besides. he
does not entertain a decided relish to
adiudicate in the same circuit with the
Reds. since his release from the man
aEement of that club. O'Day says he
vas depOsed without the slightest rea-
son. and he is not inclined 10 forgive
Garry Hermann for turning him away
so abruptly after he had made better
showing than Cincinnati fans had wit
messed in many years.
Hank maintains that he was given
his release from the National League
staff a wear ago at the request Of
Hermann. who had secured his prom
ise TO accept the managerial reigns in
case the league should see fit to legal
iza such a step. He considers the re-
lease to have been unconditional. and
believes he Is a free agent. Mr.. Lynch,
however, seems to realize that O'Day is
one of the best umpires in the busi-
ness. and would like to block his pas
sage to Ban Johnson's big show.

for a money fine, because of its disclos-
ures in advance of publication of the

major league schedules have been in the

old BOY IS
DROWNED
LLOYD, ONLY son OF J. b. OF
REY, MEETS DEATH NEAR THE
ROACH PARK - BODY RECOV-
Erred BY REV. r. A.. OLSON
NWITHIN FIFTEEN MINUTES.

Lloyd, the eleven-year- son Of
Mr. and Mrs. j. B. Otrey, who reside
near the Sunnyside school, was
drowned in Mouse river this friday
morning about ten o'clock. We are
enabled to give this report on account
Of being several hours late with the
issue.
Lloyd, in company with Lawrence
Sherman and Reginald Smart, had
gone to the river to battle. Lloyd en-
tered the water first, and not being
able to swim, attempted to pull him
self across the river on a barb wire
that had been stretched across. At
about the middle of the stream he
went down and Tor time clung to
the wire and cried for help. The
Sherman boy had just entered the
water but he could not swim, so came
back. The Smart lad was just pre-
pairing to undress. Halle Hurd was
attracted by the cries Of the compan-
ions and he was just preparing to
jump in after the lad when Lloyd
went down. Quite number of little
tots had gone to the park for a Sun
day school picnic and they saw the
accident. They ran towards the city
and met Rev. T. A. Olson, pastor of
the NJ E. church, who was on his way
to the park in his auto. Mr.. Olson
lost no time in driving to the scene,
and pulling his clothes off as he ran,
jumped into the water. He recovered
the body in eight feet of water with
in fifteen minutes after the body sank.
Mr.. Olson worked heroically over the
| body for several minutes before ply
sicians arrived. DR.. Householder, the
Doctors Newlove and DR.. A.. j. Nc
| Camel were all on hand within a few
minutes and they did everything to
restore life. They kept up artificial
respiration and at times it was thot
that the lads life could be saved, but
after working for nearly two hours
had to give up.
And right here, the Independent
wants to remark that this city should
own pulmotor or two, which have
saved thousands of lives in this coun-
try the past year. We understand
that one will be ordered at the next
meeting of the commission. With the
aid of pulmotor fresh air is pump
ed into the lungs and artificial breath
ing is kept up in regular way.
| The Independent cannot say enough
for the men who worked over the lads
body. They did noble work and the
hundreds who stood about offered
silent prayer that their efforts might
be rewarded.
The poor mother arrived on the
scene and prayed that her only boys
life might be spared. The father was
at work in the country.
The Otreys have but one child left,
daughter. They lost son some
years ago. The Independent sincerely
sympathizes with them.
Many an anxious father and mother
rushed to the river this morning when
they learned that boy had been
drowned, fearing that their own child
might have been the victim.
J. D. Geist and two other men were
at work clearing the park, but not
hearing the cries, did not come to the
rescue until it was too late. Mr..
Geist says he might easily have saw
ed the boys life had he heard the
alarm. He was but few rods away.
