Loss of the Speedy 0utflelder
to Cleveland Will Surely Z.
Cripple Beavers
By. JOE MURPHY

The announcement of the .disposaI
Of Ty. Lober. to the Cleveland Maps by
Manager Walter McCredie of the
Beavers means that the northern club
has lost one of its best men and the
outfeld of the Beavers is sure to be
weakened to some extent by the pass
ing OF Lober to the big league.
Lober was. one of the very best men
In the league last season. and McCre-
die can: attribute his success to win
ming the pennant to Lober about as
much as any other man on the team.
fiis. hitting and all around playing
was one of the features of the Beavers
work
Lober came to the Beavers through
trade in which Artie Kruger was
given to the Los Angeles club In ex-
change. 1T was when Lober Joined
the northern club that it showed a
brace, as during the early part of the
season the Portlanders were going
poorly, to the astonfshment of the
fans. Lober's strength. was needed on
the team. as was evidenced by the
sudden brace ii took shortly after he
Joined the team.
He should make good with the
Cleveland club, as he is a natural hit
ter. He gives the ball a good, clean
cut from the left side, and he gets
down TO nrst IN good time. lie is an
excellent fielder, and as he is still. a.
y1ungster there is no reason. why he
Should not improve.
The departure of Bill James, the
star HEAVIER of the Beavers, is also
sure to weaken the club to some ex-
tent. 1t will be difficult task for
McCre6ie to find men who viii be able
to step in TO fill these vacancies.
1t means that the other clubs in the
league will have better chance TO
win the pennant next season. James
and Lober were a tower of strength
to the Beavers, and hteir loss is sure
to be felt as they have few equals in
the minor leagues.

Del Howard is expected to arrive

scheduled to start today. According
to the contractor who will do the job
the work will be hurried along. Mod

date methods will be used to cellar off
the lot. The contractor declares that
he will have the lot leveIed off in 80

If the grading work is completed
inside of 80 days. it will give the
other contractors plenty of time to

and have the park ready for the OPEN

CAT ENJOYED THE COMEDY
But Of the Four Principals Involved,
Tom Was the Only One That
Had a Laugh Coming.

This is the tale of a cat with
sense of humor
Mrs. Youngwife went to an east end

she entered, the greeting was a high
pitched shrek. Naturally she sarieked.
too, and then looked to see what the
trouble was. Mrs Butcher, IL charge
of the shop in her husbands abserse,
stood on small box. Before her stood
large black cat. a gleara of fun in
his yellow eyes and q mouse In his
mouth.
A moment the tableau held. Then
the cat walked away and Mrs. Butcher
started fearfully behind the counter.
The cat followed her and dropped the
mouse at her feet. Two screams, the
autter of skirts, and Mrs. Butcher
again was safe on the box, and Mrs.
Youngwife sat On the counter, her feet
sticking straight out, her skirts gath.
cred tightly about her ankles.
The mouse ran foot or two and
the cat had it again, and again walked
away Mrs. Butcher stepped on the
box, picked it up and, carrying her
ark of refuge with her, again tried
