FEDERALS ANGLING TO GET
STARS OF NORTHERN LEAGUE

Winona, Mimi, Feb. 5.-The North
ern league stands to lose it's star bats
man and a sensational fielder at the
hands of the Federal league.
Luke Collins, left fielder for the
Winona champions in 1913, has received
a contract from Joe Tinker, manager of
the Chicago Federals, he declared, but
he has thus far withheld his signature.
Burned Up Burmeister League.
Collins attracted attention through
out the Northern league circuit last
year. He was unquestionably the
greatest surprise and the most sensa-
tlonal player in the circuit. He came
to W1nona three years ago from Baltl-
more, shortly after he was injured in
running bases. His arm was bruised.
He played erratic baseball the first two
years, but was a favorite because Of
his antics on the diamond.

MYSTERY IN BATTLE
over DELAYED BOUT

Chicago. Feb. 5.-There will be no
ten-round bout in New York between
Mike Gibbons and Packey Mcfarland,
at least that was the word received
from New York last night, following
the report that the match had been
postponed until a later date. Latest
reports blame the st. Paul man for
calling Off the contest.
Monday both Mcfarland and Glib
bons demanded that the Gotham pro-
moter give some reason for his failure
to go through with the mill. Yester-
day Gibson passed it on to Gibbons,
claiming that the Minnesota man was
unable to make the weight, and from
the twin cities comes the story that
Mike blames it On Mcfarland, saying
that he backed out at the last minute.
The New York report says that the

the old Minnie league. In 1913 when
LEFTY Davis became manager of the
Winona club, Collins was placed in
left field, principally because Davis
needed men. Collins hit his stride on
the first day. and became the demon
hitter of the organization. His fielding
and batting did much to bring the
pennant to Winona. He led the league

ferring to the offer he says he received
from Tinker. at have reasons for not
wanting to go back to Chicago but the

Collins says he has received word
from Bud Croake, Winona's first base
mar last year, to the effect that he,
too, has been asked to sign one of
Thinkers contracts.

WRESTLING MATCH
AT BIG CARNIVAL

A large number Of local enthusiasts
Of the roped arena wendell their way

boys of the Cathedral club last night.
There was some disappointment when
it was learned that Leo Kossick, a
professional boxer, would be barred
from the fracas. The committee that
has charge of the Wednesday evening
entertainments has passed a ruling
that no professional boxer. or wrestler
will be allowed on the programme. 1t

will stay away from the professional
business altogether.

capitol that Chief Justice McCuIloch
has a Knight of Columbus for a pri-
vate secretary. Is this accidental?
Does it just merely happen? Are
there no Protestants competent to
fill a position of private secretary?
Or is there a deep laid Jesuitical
scheme to place a spy at the elbow
of all our prominent officials from
the President down?
A printer in Little Rock told me
last Monday that our Secretary of
State, who is now the Democratic
nominee for reelection, has given
certain State printing, printing the
proposed Constitutional amendments
to be exact, to the Roman Catholic
weekly published in Little Rock,
paper that cannot show more than
five hundred bona fide subscribers in
the State, and this printer tells me
that this job means a clear profit to
this Roman Catholic paper of at least
$1,000. Now this official, under
stand, will be a candidate for the
gubernatorial nomination two years
hence. If these things are true, [
think the people of Arkansas should
be told of them, but you couldn't get
information of this sort into either
one Of Little Rocks big dailies with
a burglars Jimmy.
Now as the Jeffersonian has a
large circulation in our State, I'd like
for you to either print this letter in
full or take the data contained here
in and comment on it as you know
so we'll how to do. And l don't care

not already seen the New Orleans
States account, the enclosed clippings
taken from those two big d2ilies will
show how much the Gazette sup
pressed as compared to the States, l
have no way Of knowing how much
the States suppressed.
Another thing I'd like to call the
attention Of the voters of Arkansas
to, is the fact that SO many secre-
taries of political bodies, State Off

and are seeing the things that you

faith in you as a God send to this

you in all matters that you are al

me for being so long getting this

well pleased with the work and
hopes to graduate in another year.

think of the choice she has made
for a profession 1t sure was lots of
pleasure for the old father to have
the darling child with him for the
two weeks. She was sick for two
days at the home of my son, w. c.
Parrish, but thank the good Lord it
was only Of short duration and she
was able to go back on the first day
of August and went to work that af-
tern0On, so she wrote me the next
day. l hope you will remember my
little girl She is the one that
waited out at the court house door
at Sylvester, Ga. to meet you the
time you made q speech there a few
years ago. I think the dear child
loves you for the grand good fight
you are making and because she
knows that her poor old father loves
you and the cause you are fighting
for so well.
