CLIMBERS.

"Tfnie" Walker. the sorrel-topped out
fielder, sent to Kansas City with jim
Vaughn by Manager Griffith, may come
back to the large show as member
Of the Cincinnati Reds. Joe Tinker,
leader of the Reds, intends jumping
TO Louisville, where he may see Walker
in action and, IL he looks good, will
buy him from Charlie Carr.
Walker is hitting for more than .So
in the American Association and he
has improved in his fielding greatly
since leaving the Griffmen. 'Tillie" is
handicapped by a pair of weak hands.
II was almost impossible for him to hold
a hard-hit ball when he was with the
local club. ISpweyer, "Tillie" may i'm
press Tinker With his undouoted ability
with the bat, and this may bring him
to the National League for a trial with
the Reds.
Tinker is also on a hunt for Cy Nor
gan. the minstrel man" The former
Mackman has been the best pitcher in
the American Association this season.
He had a lot of baseball in him when
Connie Mack let him go. his disposition
making him a hard man to handle. In
deed. II was his wildness OF the field
that sent him to the bushes, the other
big league managers declining to have
anything TO do with him. Now he may
return to fast company, joining the
Reds to take the place of Rube Benton.
Jim Shaw, the Climbers farmland
at York, Pa, turned in another fine
afternoons work yesterday. beating At
lantic City, TO / Shaw famed eleven
batsmen and walked only one. Twice he
had the bases filled, and yet managed
TO dispose of the enemy. He gave four
hits.
Gilbert Price, the southpaw, and FL
Lott Dent, the right handler, both for
mer members of the Griffmen, are two
OF the three Atlanta Crackers winning
more games than they have lost. The
other is Councilman, farmed to Billy
Smith by Pittsburgh. Price has won
twelve and lost seven games. Dent has
been victorious seven times and de-
feated FIVE times. On this record
neither has much chance to succeed

STATE WITNESS SICK.
And Beers Murder Case May Be Post
pOned.

The illness of one of the states star
witnesses in the w. L. Beers murder
case may necessitate the temporary
for trial in the second division of the
district court next Monday morning. y
few days ago Wallace Mcdowell a bell
boy at the GlenWood hotel who. at the
coroner's inquest testified to hearing
two screams from the third floor, the
first while he was in the office and
another he swore came from the room
occupied by Beers and his wife, vert
home to Pottawatomie county quite
sick. He may recover in ample time to
be here for the trial. If he is not the
state probably will ask for a contin-
uance He is considerd a very material
witness.
The Beers case recalls to many a
former false teeth case that occa-
stoned a good deal of litigation which
occurred in this county. 1t was the
case of Jesse Wingfield, who was oper-
ated upon at Christ hospital for the
purpose of removing false teeth from
his throat. Wingfield died following
the operation. and suit was instituted
against Dr. J. c. McClintock and DR..
w. F. Bowen, surgeons who performed
the operation, charging negligence. 1t
was ascertained afterward that Wing
field had not swallowed his teeth. al
though he thought he had and when
taken to the hospital gave every in
dication that he was strangling from
the result of teeth in his throat.
