SVODGRASS MAY TAKE
PLACE OF MERKLE
If Famous "Bonehead'' Fails
to Hit Outfielder May
Replace Him

Although Edward Konetchy did not
land with the aiiants IN the big shift or
National league players last week, IL Is
by no means certain that Fred Merkle
will continue 10 play first base for the
Giants. There is reason 10 believe that
Manager McGraw is grooming Snodgrass
10 play that position. Merlile is not
likely TO be sold or traded before next
season. but his fate depends largely on
his hitting next spring.
Spodgrsss Is no stranger to infield
play, and during bis career with the
Giants has often acted as doorkeeper
TO the base running circuit year
ago last spring he played first base for
about a month and gave general salts
faction. At various times he acted as
an understudy TO Merkle.

THOSE GIRLS HAVE
NOT BEEN FOUND
No Trace Of Them Has Been pIscov
cred and Another Request
Is Made.

| UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
I, CHICAGO. April 9.-Request that
federal authorities renew their inves.
/ tigation of the mysterious disappear-
ance of twenty young immigrant girls
from New York to Chicago train,
was made by Andrew Silverson, presi.
dent of the Norwegian-Danish Youn>
Women's Christian Association today.
Silverson put the matter squarely
up to G. F. DeWoody, of the federal
department of Justice, on receipt of a
letter from relative of Anna Bach
man, one of the missing girls. The
relative whose name Silverson would
not make public, wrote from Pitts
burgh that she had heard nothing
from the Bachman girl since she
boarded B. and o. train at New
York, March II, vii the party Of
immigrant girls, Who, 1t Is feared,
may have been kidnapped by white
| slavers at Newcastle, Pa
The Bachman girl left Copenhagen
! March 6, and arrived in New York on
! March II. Her parents entrusted her
to the care of the Norwegian-D Danish
Young Womens Christian Association
I in Chicago. but instructed her to keep
in communication with the woman
relative in Pittsburgh.
Before she joined several Danish,
Spanish and French Immigrant girls
enroute to Chicago, Miss Bachman
wrote postal card to her Pittsburgh
relative from New York, saying that
she would write again upon her ar
rival in Chicago. The Pittsburgh wo-
man has heard nothing from her
The fact that this girl failed to ar
rive at the association home in Chi
cago started the investigation that
led to the discovery that twenty M
migrant girls, ranging in age from is
to % years, were left behind by a B.
and o. train, at Newcastle, Pa, under
circumstances that suggested a pos
sible kidnapping.
Federal and railroad officials began
an investigation but failed to find any
trace of the missing girls. Railroad
officials said they were sure the girls
came to Chicago on later train but
admitted that they had been unable
TO locate any of them. They suggest
ed that possibly the Bachman girl
was met by relatives. The letter he
received today dispels that theory
Silverson said.

! that railroad trains running through
| the state of New York shall hereafter
be sufficiently manned to conserve hui
man life and limb
The only objection to the measure
on the part of the railroads was that
it would increase to some extent the
cost Of operation by reason of the
| fact that an additional man would
have to be employed on some of the
long trains. The same objection could
be urged with equal force to any i'm
proyement In the methods of railroad
operation.

dividends. The official records OF
the state of New York show that five

an increased annual killing and MAIN

cable manufactured by the former.
