MYSTERY SHROUDS
YANKEE BALL CLUB
PURCHASE TODAY
To All Practical Purposes,
New York Americans
Have Been Sold to Rup-
pert and Huston Combine.

NEW YORK, Dec. A.--To all practical
intents and purposes (save those of pub
lication) the New York American League
Club has been sold to Colonel Jacob Rup.
pert, Jr., and Captain IT. L. Huston.
These new owners, no doubt prohtlng
by good lesson in American League
etiquette at Chicago. maintained most
discreet silence yesterday morning on
their arrival here with John i. McGraw
and Joseph ]. Lannin But very close
friend who had advised them in their
negotiations and who accompanied them
east stated positively that the official
transfer of stock was only a matter OF
time.
'The club has been sold" said he. "ot
course the stock has not as yet been
transferred and will not be till the pur-
chase price Is ready to be rendered. 1t
takes a great deal of time to complete
the many angles of a deal of such mag
nitude. The club no doubt hds assets
and liabilities outstanding Messrs. Rup-
pert aud Huston. naturally. will insist
upon taking the property without incum-
brances They have agreed to meet Mr..
Farrells terms and will assume active
charge as soon as the present ownership
Is ready for a business accounting"
Joseph ]. Lannin, who came east with
Messrs. Rupert and Huston. was as non
committal as the new owners. but, pinned
right down to the solemn truth. he VEN
tured an opinion that the deal was as
good as closed" MeGraw made like ad-
missions.
Frank ]. Farrell. however would not
admit any such thing. He issued a rather
heated interview, In which he said that
the club was on the market 20 the first.
man that would pay $4,000. He in
sinuated that Colonel Rupert was not
inclined to go so high and that eonse-
quently the possibility OF sale In that
quarter was as good as dead.

Mike Kahoe Says He
Went Down 81 Miles Into
Bowels of Earth to Get
Wilson, That's All"

NEW YORK, Dec. H.-"Mlke" Kahoe
scout for the Washington and Minne-
apolIs clubs, went down into coal mine
recently to get the signature OF catcher
who will get trial with the Minneapolis
club. in the American Association. next
season.
His name is Tom Wilson," said Ka-
hoe. 'I was told TO go to Hartford,
Nebraska, where he lived. When 1 got
to Hartford 1 found II town OF about
200. In the outskirts was a coal mine.
Inquiry developed the fact that Wilson
was at work in the mine, 1 decided to
wait until he came out In the evening to
sign him up, but 1 suddenly changed my
mind following a conservation with one
of the armed guards near the mine.
There's going TO be trouble around
here pretty soon, Mister" said the guard.
THE regular miners are liable to come in
on any train. and the troops are on the
way Kinda think there's going to be
some shootin hereabouts"
That was enough for me-" continued
Kahoe II just made for the mouth of
that mine shaft and demanded to be
taken down. The guards around there
looked me over. l thought sure they
were going to 'frIsk' me, but they didn't.
because presented cards and letters that
were convincing proof that l wasn't a
spy.
well. after going down and down for
about SO miles the bucket that I was
riding In reached the bottom / was led
for three or four miles farther and pretty
soon I came upon a gang OF men. Ny
guide pointed out one and said;
"'Thats Wilson
"I told Wilson that I had come TO sign
him up for the Minneapolis club. offered
him terms and he said they were satis-
factory. Then he signed the contract and
/ started for the top OF the earth once
more. got there and l got out OF town
Just before the soldiers arrived"
What did Wilson look like7 Kahoe
was asked.
Say, I wouldn't know him again IL
saw him on the street or In a mine."
answered the scout IAN those fellows
looked alike down there. They all were
about as black and sooty as could be-
Maybe the guide gave me the wrong
steer and maybe / signed up the wrong
man, but I took a chance on that rather
than haDg around that town any longer
than ] had to-"

Mr.. F. w. Garretson, the garage
man, was taken to Keokuk the latter
part Of last week on account OF ex-
treme suffering from an albscess in
his head. He expected to be treated
and to return home, but 1t was founo
that he was in more serious condi-
tion than he himself anticipated, so
was taken to the hospital for an oper-
alton. He has sufficiently recovereD
to be able to BE- brought home again
the first of this week, but his hearing
il badly affected. Mr.. Garretson has
a host of friends that will be sorry
to hear Of his misfortune but glad to
