ing. Taylor was not given an oppor-
tunlty to be heard. although he wait
ed outside of the meeting place ready
to give his side of the story concern
ing the trouble with Umpire Elliott.
1T was nothing but a frame up.
said Taylor. "Blume and some of the
others close to Burmeister have been
after me since two years ago when
Blume was president of the Northern
league
The trouble with Elliott started in
Fargo. There is league rule which
compels the home club to keep a grip
full of balls out in sight where the
umpire can conveniently get them.
Fargo kept the balls on the bench and
when at bat would throw out new
ones. Fargo had a man on second and
one Of the new balls was thrown out
to Cummings. 1 protested to Elliott
and Elliott started to shove me toward
the bench and threatened to knock
my block off. asked him if I could
mt even talk to him and he put me
out of the game.
I'VE played at Grand Forks next
day. Elliott was on the train with us
going to Grand Forks. He umpired
one game there and then went back to
Kavanaugh who was injured. Flah-
erty of the Grand Forks team was
running the bases and cut second base
by three, feet. Both Elliott and my
self stood near the base and saw him
cut. I said to Elliott Did you see him
cut that base?' I ordered the ball re-
turned to, second and touched the
sack. Elliott told me to throw the
ball in and then came and grabbed 1t
out of my hand. A few minutes after
I said to Kelly the first baseman: Did
you see Flaherty cut that base with
Elliott standing right there and look
ing at him? Elliott overheard it and
ordered me out of the park. The next
thing I knew 7 was suspended by
President Burmeister.,
Its a rotten deal all the way
round. In the same game at Fargo
Manager Unglaub stood out in front
of the stand and told Elliott that he
(Elliott) better be careful because he
CUnglaub) would get his job. He said
something about Elliott knowing who
could get an umpire's job in the Nor
thern. Unglaub got off with SIS
fine
1t is probable that Taylor will take
the case to the national commission.
Taylor has a contract with the Super
Tor club for the season and by Bur-
meister's act he loses the salary which
he would get for the rest of the play
ing year.

Right to Press into Service

Saratoga. N. Y, Aug. american
turfmen who are racing horses in
Europe fear they will lose their rae
ers, stations and brood mares in Eng
land, France and Germany. The for
eign powers can press into service all
horses, no. matter who owns them in

England should engage in war. August
Belmont might be great sufferer.
He might lose Tracery, the greatest
horse in England in 1913.
Offered 100000 for Tracery.
Belmont refused $780, 900 for Ira
cery. The horses stud book has been
closed for five years to outside mares,
with a total amount of $4,000. Ira
cery is considered the most valuable
thoroughbred in Europe. He Is only
years old and is by the celebrated
triple crown winner Rocksand, which
died in France recently.
In addition to Tracery, Belmont has
four other thoroughbreds in England
In France he has several thorough
breds, stations and many brood
mares on stud farm about thirty
miles from Paris. His chief stallion
Is Ethelbert, great race horse in his

club under his wing, is looking over
the talent in that loop rather care
fully.
There are two good looking pitchers

drafted from Fargo they cost the
drafting club only $500 each. while if
the majors think enough of them to
hoist one of them from Minneapolis
the one who goes will cost $4,000
each. The local president seems TO
think that they may be good enough
for the Millers If they are good enough
for major draft, and also perhaps
holds to an opinion that the addi-

would buy considerable grease and

NAP LAJO|E IS
RAPIDLY PASSING
French Exponent of Game
Soon Done--Another
Taking His Place.

Chicago, Aug. 6.-Napoleon Lajoie,
Of the Cleveland Americans one of
the greatest players in the American
league, is passing.
Lajoie's mantle as the greatest rep
resentative Of his race in baseball is
about to descend on another slugging
Frenchman-Jack Fournier of the
White Sox.
The passing of Lajoie will be de-
plored by fans of all leagues. Good
natured. careless to a degree, affable
and approachable, Lajoie was liked
by other players and loved by the fans
Of all cities where he played.
When waivers were asked on Lajoie
the end of the career of one of the
most remarkable figures who ever
decorated a box score. Lajoie's bat
ting average Of .22S for the season
shows that he has been going back
fast
Lajoie was one of the players who
made the American league a success
Hi sleap to the Athletics and then his
Jump to Cleveland and his popularity
Charles Comiskey and Charles Som
ers put the new circuit on its feet.
The Napoleon of the American lea
que made baseball popular in Cleve-
land after the pastime went to low
ebb the last season the National lea
gue had a franchise in that city.
Lajoie batted better than 800 for
sixteen years. Broke into profession
al baseball in 1896. Was a capable
fielding second baseman always, but
his forte lay in his great hitting pow
er. He hit to all fields, making 1t
impossible to "play" for him. He was
cleanup hitter and one Of the most
graceful players in the big show. He
led a major league in batting four
times. His best average was APP in
1901.

remainder Of the season, at his own
request. Since joining the Virginia
team at Superior several weeks ago,
Campbell has not been playing the
class Of ball OF which he is capa BILE.
He has frequently been embarrassed
by errors which he made and asked
Manager Sundheim for his release.
This was refused. but he was, instead
suspended.
Campbell has just been going bad
and couldn't stop" said Manager
sundheim. He is clever infielder
but got off his tride. would have
kept him little while longer on ac-

when he will probably show to great
advantage"
Campbell left for his home city,
