CATERPILLARS SIGNED UP

Captain I usk, of the "Caterpil-
ar" team of The Business Mems
League, has signed no his players
for the con ING s. on. He has put
the salary limit II 81 90 in offering
the con raCtS 10 $ players, and
has given them their choice of any
amount up to that figure. Every
member of last seasons Caterpillar
team has accepted the terms of the
contract with the exception of Chas.
McKinn"n, the star right fielder,
who, TO date is hold-out, and,
fearing that the club will not be
able to come up to Macs demands,
Captain Lusk has signed Ray Col
we'll in his place. In answer TO the
query as to whether the salaries
qloted below are so much per SCI
IN or SO much per month the Cap
t ain vouchsafed the reply that they
were so much perhaps. " The
Caterpillar roster, in possession of
the Captain, reads as follows:
I'VE, the undersigned, agree to
play baseball during the season of
1914, in the River Falls Business
Mems League and with the club
known as the Caterpillars at salaries
set opposite our names. We fur
her agree to abide by and conform
to the rules and regulations that
may be hereafter adopted by the
League, and to play, if possible,
whenever ordered out by the Cap
tain of the team"
Signed
l. |. Lusk, $l650
Theo. Jensen, $4,000
Tony Moline, $500
F. w, Finn. $1,000
S. L. Krauth, $4,000
Percy APP Roberts, $3.50.
K. P. Colwell, $1,000
Bert Symes, $500
R. w. Freeman, 5 SO
Stan. Morse, $50
G. A. Bird, $l10O
We are surprised to note that Mr..
Freeman. places his services on the
team at such little value, especially
as we heard one fan say most en-
phatically that it was worth ten
dollars any day to see Rosh navi-
gate the bases" Mr.. APP Roberts,
in placing the minus sign before
his salary figures, implies that he
feels it distinction of great value
to belong to an organization of such
noted baseball talent. Each te am
of the League is to have twelve
players signed, and Cap. Lusk will
have two more added before the
opening of the season. The ott er
teams have not signed up theic
players as yet. 1t is rumored thae
the men of the Normal school fac
ulty may have team, and that
there may also be one or more
farmers mines in.the League.

Pitchers Tree Leg
Helps Him to Win

Barney Petty. the old major league
pitcher, has young finger under hi.
wing whom Barney Is trying to land
with some major league club. The
youngster Is Albert @. Murphy, and ir
western Missouri he is known far and
wide as "the pitcher with the wooden
leg"
Murphy truly has a leg which for.
merly was part Of a tree. but Petty says
that should not be held against him
In fact, Barney says the wooden LEG
Is a help instead OF hindrance. In
stead of ducking the hot drives Muir
ply let's them hit his wooden shin and
throws the batter out at first.
Petty also says that the wooden leg
does not hamper Murphy's speed on the
paths. "I'll bet this kid Murphy car
beat three quarters OF the big league
pitchers in foot race said Barney
"even though you don't have to be able
to hit or run to be a successful
pitcher"
wooden Leg Murphy pitched for
Pennington in the Southern Missouri
League last season, where he won q
games and lost but three.

Danny Is Irish, but
He Has His Troubles

NEW YORK, Jan. 1o.--Dan Morgan
Is ir a sad plight. AS everybody
knows, Danny Is a rabid Irishman.
But alas, no more can Danny mingle
carelessly at irish balls. picnics and
other lively affairs of that type.
Says Dan;
Ever since Battling Levinsky beat
Jim Coffey, the Irish champion, I've
had a sort of presentiment that I'd
better mind me step. No moro for me
the gay parties and fetes and feasts
and fights. I've got to stay away
Why? Well, I'll tell va: Coffey was
mighty popular with the Irish. And
ever since my man defeated him
well, | don't feel so almighty popular
myself
I've been getting all kinds OF
pressing invitations to all kinds OF
affairs that have a sort of Donny-
brookian aspect Why, only yester-
day | was earnestly invited to at
tend a Gaelic football clash over on
Long Island.
Come on over and play says the
invitation, or II We don't want to
play, come over and be umpire, or
referee, or something. At any rate,
come over.
"'P Sand bring Levinsky with
ye.'
"Of course" continued Dan, Il
don't for an instant suspect anything,
out-well, do you get that umpire
stuff You know what chance an
umpire has In a Gaelic football mix
up, don't you?
Sure, declined the nomination"

BOXING CANE
MOST WEARING
Of ALL SPORT
Champions in Ring Sport on De-
cline Before Thirty-Leaders
in Other Sports Last.

4 D WOLGAST, at rs. Is practi-
n caIly through as a fighter. Abe
Attell and Bat Nelson were put
out of the running at 2s. All three
were champions OF their profession
and listed among the most rugged o.
athletes.
That tells the big part of the story
OF the ring game, the most wearing
and tearing Of all sports.
The ring game is the only one in
which man is through in his pro-
fession while still in his youth.
Pop Geers, at so, is still one Of the
greatest trainers and drivers Of trot-
ting and pacing horses. Cy Young,
who retired from active service last
year, was a good pitcher at As,
William Larned is a champion ten
mis- player at 80. Jerome Travers is
national amateur golf champion at
40, and Barney Oldfield, at 80, has
failed to be counted out by. Father
Time.
Constant reducing of weight to
make 1873 pounds, the lightweight
limit, caused the death of Joe Cans.
Constant reducing of weight has
worn away the life Of other fighters.
The terrific grind of training, the
sacrifice Of strength and nervous
energy to make a certain weight and
the strain Of battle wear away the
silk Of a fighter with more telling eff
feet than any work connected with
any other form OF athletics.
