LEFTY DAVIS IS
CUTTING HIS SQUAD

winona, N. D., May 15.-Pitcher
Paul Simons. local boy who has been
trying out with Lefty Davis squad
was given his unconditional release
today after a weeks work during the
1914 season. Simons, although he had
plenty Of steam Inc good assortment
Of benders was unable to meet the
requirements OF a professional pitcher,
and as the hurting squad had to be
cut down, he was selected as the one
to go first. Davis still has six tWirl-
ers on his staff and before the club
leaves on it's first road trip next Sun
day some of these men will probably
be dropped from the payroll.
Recruits Going Good.
The job of selecting the hurting
staff is going to be a hard Job for
Lefty as all of the recruits are show
ing splendid form and are making g.
strong bid for a regular berth with
the Champs. Marty Smith has not
worked in a league game as yet, but
Lefty is confident he has the goods
and he is due for a try-out soon. KEEL
Ter, spitball artist, and Schinzel, an
other recruit, showed up we'll in the
games they have worked.
Davis today received a telegram
from Bugs" Wiedell, pitcher, who
worked for Red Wing in the old Min
ny, Offering his services to this club,
but Davis could not use him at this
time, so his offer will be passed up.

WHAT MAKES OR BREAKS

(From an interview with Connie
Mack. by Henry Beach Needham in Nc
Cures: Mack paused and thought for
a moment before he went on. Then he
said slowly:
II have come to the conclusion, how
ever, that the continued class shown
by the Athletics can be put down-if
you want 1t in a sentence, right over
the plate-to clean living and quick
thinking.
And without the one you can't have
the other-the quick thinking. There's
nothing to that.
Temperance is a fine thing-and
don't get the wrong angle on that tenn
perance," he cautioned. For one thing
1t applies just as much to eating. One
or the most brilliant players of the
last ten years ate his way out Of the
American league! If you think that's
far-fetched, remember that a former

TED CORBETT IS
GIVEN RELEASE

Grand Forks, N. D., May 15.-Ted
Corbett, the veteran pitcher of no mean
ability, was let out by Manager Curtis
OF the, Winnipeg Maroons, and spent
yesterday renewing acquaintances with
Grand Forks friends.
Corbett was not in any too good a
frame of mind over his release, and
claimed that he had not been given a
square deal. why? I was let out
without a chance to show, despite my
splendid record Of last year, and this
season | am in better shape than ever.
Mark Freer is another player whom
Curtis refused to give a chance to make
a place, and 1 think that he made a
mistake, as, though Freer is not a very
heavy hitter he is a valuable player
on any team, owing to his many nat
ural abilities. He certainly has Cal

FED DISSOLUTION
SUIT NOW IN COURT

Chicago. May 15.-In arguing for
dissolution Of the injunction restrain
ing Pitcher Johnson from playing with
the Kansas City Federals, counsel for
the latter made no mention Of the re
serve" rule. This omission, according
to representatives Of the old league, is
a virtual admission Of equity in the
reserve rule, as it is worded in the
new contracts.
The American league stood shoulder
to shoulder with the National in the
hearing Of the injunction case yester-
day. While President Hermann of
the Cincinnati club was the only one
who gave verbal testimony, affidavits
Of President Johnson Of the American
league and President Comiskey of the
Chicago Americans were read. These
men declared no complaints concern
ing the ten day" clause eve had been
heard by them. President Hermann
was questioned by Judge Foell regard
ing the waiver rules. and gave a his
tory Of them.
The Federal side depended primarily
on Pitcher Johnson's affidavit made
out some time ago. More arguments
will be heard tomorrow.

AMERICAN GOLFERS
NOT IN USUAL FORM

Sandwich, England, May 15.-The
form displayed by the American en-

tition for the ST. Georges cup here
yesterday was hardly up to what had
been expected Francis Ouimet. the
open champion Of the United States,
in whose play great interest centered,
only succeeded in turning in a card
of 80.
Jerome D. Travers of Upper Mont
clair, N. J., returned a score Of II,
which tied him with two others for
eighth place. He is now regarded by
observers here as the only one among
the Americans who stands a chance of
winning the coveted trophy. In prac-

course in 50 and ii he repeats that per-
Torrance today he may still come out
on top. .
