SHANNON QUITS NORTHERN
CHANGES COMING ON THE
CIRCUIT IS PREDICTION

Bruce Liggett in Duluth Herald:
When the sky is lividly lit with light
ming and the elements are roaring, the
natural ASSUMPTION of certain timid
persons is that the lightning Will
strike home. In the matter Of the
Federal fuss some Of us have Won
dered if the lightning Of the Feds
would strike here or h~ereabouts. yes
terday 1t did. Umpire Spike Shannon
has been signed by the Feds and left
last night for Chicago to join the UNI
piring staff Of the Gilmore league, &C
cording to the epOrt Of John Bur-
meister.
John Burmeister was in our munich
pal midst yesterday. John and Spike
and Harry Blume took lunch together.
John and Spike were the guests OF the
management. The honorable Mr.. Spike
Shannon informed the honorable John
Burmeister Of the offer Of the FEEDER
ais. The money paid Spike in this
league was in the nature OF a stipend
compared with the salary offered him
in the third major, as some people are
disposed to term the Federal circuit.
While it is true hat the cocktail fol-
lows the flag, 1t is also equally true
that stalwart veterans follow the trail
of the money. There was no argument
that could be successfully made
against the salary Offering OF the
Federal league-and there you are
yes, and there Shannon is, or will be
some time today.
The Entente CordiaIe.
Back in the great and glorious days
of st. Paul, Spike Shannon and Big
Bill Brennan used to play football to-
gether on the same team. SO did we,
but that is neither here nor there.
Football either makes bosom friends
or deadly enemies. But Bill and Spike
were on the same team. They had to
live or die together. Bill Brennan,
the former National league umpire
see Philadelphia decision-is now the
chief Of staff of the Federal league
umpire list. What is more natural
than he should think Of his old pal,
Spike, and in thinking Of him devise
ways and means Of having Spike in
the same league? We reiterate in in
terrogation. what could be more ma
tural?
Tom Taylor, the former White Sox,
was offered a place on the Burmeister
indicator holding force and gave no
definite answer. Someone would be-
come foolish n sign to umpire. The
world is a large place and many men
are looking for work.
Something Going to Drop.
Yesterday a rumor escaped from its

cage and howled around the baseball
circles Of the city. It came in q
friendly manner to our door and un-
burdened itself-and therefore we are
in duty bound to keep it's confidence
for a time.
In the event Of the rumor coming
true there will be some bolstering OF
the teams Of the Northern league. Not
that many Of the teams Of the North
ern league need bolstering, understand
but a good baseball player can always
find work. Let US walk along the
shaking gang plank Of chatter just a
foot farther and state that there may
be ONE players on the market in the
somewhat near future.
John Burmeister was in our midst
yesterday, as we stated previously. He
is back from a swing around the cir
cult. There is some pithy rumor
travelling around to the effect hat the
interests of Brother Conrad Of the
Fort William club may be purchased
by some of the Canadian stockholders
in that organization.
Conrad's bed has not been one OF
roses in the new club. 1t Is said he is
not in any too good with some OF
those interested. Burmeister patched
up some trouble on his recent trip to
Z OIl w 4llldIll~OuI Ill LIlS CIu SIlS
Canadian stockholders nay decide tC
purchase the holdings of Conrad and
this may separate Conrad and North
ern league baseball.
League in Good Shape.
Burmeister reiterated his statement
concerning the financial condition OF
the Northern league. The attendance
over the circuit is ahead of that OF
last year. There Is no idle or per-
fdiOus talk concerning the demise OF
the Northern. That chatter was canned
with the reorganization of the league
a year ago. 1t was thought that the
acquisition Of st. Paul and Minneapolis
would strengthen the league. The com
ing of the twin cities gave the North
ern prestige, and this year, despite
certain predictions to the contrary, the
attendance has been even better than
a ear ago.
Superior has several new players
coming and from the statements let
drop by President Burmeister yester-
day, it Is certain that there will be
strengthening at FIT. William. The
race from this point on promises to
be a hummer.
Should Superior and Fort William
chuck up a bit, old boy, the race will
be a daisy during the next two months,
and it will be difficult to predict a
winner.
