Among the players Manager Griffith
hopes to corral in the draft, which
opens at Cincinnati tomorrow, Is Ty
Lober, the hard-hitting leftfielder of the
Portland team, of the Pacific Coast
League. Lober is now plunking the pill
for we'll over 800, being considered al
most certain to lead his league by the
time the curtain is rung down. He Is
young, a fair fielder and a most promis-
ing hitter.
In seeking Lober, Manager Griffith Is
acting on information given him by
Fraak Dillon. his brother-in-law, who Is
managing the Los Angeles team, In the
Pacific Coast League. Dillon believes
that the Portland outfielder has a
chance Of making good in fast company.
Furthermore, Joe Gedeon. who played
with San Francisco last year and had
. chance to see Lober, playing against
him frequently. says that he is pretty
eood ball player Lober wasn't such q
come this year, but Gedeon believes
him Q good man on what he showed
in 1912
1t Is Nkeiy that Manager Griffith will
put in drafts only for outfielders and a
pitcher or two. He tried to purchase
outfielder Kippert, Of the Vancouver
club. Of the Northwestern League, but
fosnd that the player had been sold to
st. Paul, In the American Association.
Kippert has been boosted by every critic
on the Pacific coast for trial. in fast
company.

STORIES FOR BEDTIME.
Chatterer, Red Squirrel, Tells
Wrong Story.
By Th0rntOn w. Burgess.
(Copyright. 1913. by J. @. Lloyd.I

1t was nothing new for Chatterer. the
Red Squirrel, to tell a wrong story. In
deed. Chatterer has told 50 many wrong
stories that no one believes him even
when he tells the truth. which. of course
is a dreadful state Of affairs. He Is a
great mischiefmaker, and never SO happy
as when he has started trouble among his
neighbors I'm the Green Forest But. like
a great many other wrongdOers he likes
to appear honest and truthful. and when
any one suggests that he isn't he grows
very angry and pretends to feel very
much injured.
So this time. when Drummer the Wood
pecker accused him of having stolen an
egg from Drummer's nest in an old apple
tree, Chattecer flew into such rage at
