CRAZED MAN RUNS AMUCk

Condo. S. D.. Dec. 26.-Forcibly
elected from a train, and while crazed
with liquor. an individual giving his
name as Severen Knudtson gave the
Condo authorities q few anxious hours.
When he was elected from the train at
the Condo depot knudtson made his
way to the police station. where he in
formed the officials that he was hungry
n cold and without money. He was
taken to the Condo hotel and given a
bed. He had not been in bed more than
an hour when he again became wild
and, after smashing the bed and fur
niture in the room and tearing out the
window and storm window of his room,
he jumped from the second story to
the cement sidewalk below. This APP
parently did not injure him in the
least, for he jumped to his feet and
thrust his head through the glass of
another window and then broke the
glass in a door with his fist. In this
operation he was badly cut and bruised,
and now is under the care Of a physi-
cian.

NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-Rube Mar
guard, the eccentric pitcher. who on

cad contract with the New York
Giants covering the seasons OF 1915 and
1916. Is likely to prove the central fig

may have reason to congratulate him
self IL eventually he is not made the
butt of attack by one side or the other.
In spite of the evident unconcern of
the heads of the rival baseball organi-
cations which now claim Marquard as
their own, a current of unusual activ-
ity was noticeable yesterday. Presi-
dent Harry y. Hampstead. of the
Giants, refused as yet to discuss what

hours with Manager John ]. McGraw,

.BLAND|NG THROUGH
IF b|RMY REMAINS
Maps Big Twirler viii Not Play
Ball for Boy Manager, But
Will Quit Game.

Fred Blanding. the big Cleveland
right-hand pitcher. whose winter occu-
patton Is being one of the leading citi-
zens of Birmingham. Mich, is on Joe
Birmingham. manager of the NAYS.
Blanding stood for Joseph a long time
because he IL named after the ancestral
seat OF the Blanding clan, but last
season the manager so vexed and an
noyed the hurler that he positively will
not play ball again so long "a the for
mer Comedian is to be his boss.
The blond finger conveys this infor-
nation in a letter to J. c. Weed. Of
Detroit. He does not threaten to leap
to the Federals nor does he demand
more salary. He just SAYS that he and
birmingham can't get along. and that
one of them will cease to be a Nap. As
he has no authority to GUST the mana
ger, he solves the perplexins problem
by quitting himself.
According to Frederick. Birmingham
used him badly last season. When Fred
was ready and anxious to pitch and
warmed up with enough speed to throw
the ball through a brock wall, Birming-
ham wouldn't let h m work. Other days
when he didn't even haye a glove and
had to borrow one, Joe sent him to the
mound and let him stay there until the
humane society got out an Injunction.
Blanding says that he is not the only
one who Is opposed to Birmingham
management. There Is a general feeling
of dissatisfaction among the players. he
believes, and unless something is done
to improve the spirit OF the squad.
Cleveland can look for another lowly
berth in 1915.
If the Maps do not get a new man
sger, Blanding says that he will retire
to his farm near Birmingham and de-
vote himself to agricultural pursuits.
He thinks that he can make just as
much money and have a heap more fun
on the farm than he could pitching for
Cleveland. which looks IKE a good
guess. Fred would not object to a trade.
1t is said. He is not sore on baseball.
but simply on Birmingham.
