Babe secures Mothers Release.

The choice of adopting temporarily
a little Indian babe or releasing its
mother from Jail confronted Chief OF
Police Kearney yesterday and it didn't
take a great deal Of deliberation for
him to decide to lead the mother forth
to her child. Several days ago Lacy
Luton. a young Indian woman, was
given a Jail sentence and her eighteen
months old baby was delivered to
Annie Chapman. another squaw. An
ME fulfilled her trust faithfully for
several days but yesterday her old
craving for firewater asserted itself
and she was soon down and out and
unfit to care for the child She was
escorted to Jail. With the little child
on their hands, the police held a con-
sultation which finally determined
them upon the release Of the mother.
And now Lacy Luton looks upon her
child with greater kindness.

EXTRAVACANT, 50
WRICLEY IS Canned

President William ]. Morris, Of
the Trenton Tigers. has announced
that zeke wrigley was deposed as
manager of the Tigers because he
was running the team at a financial
loss. At a meeting of the Trenton
directors several days ago. it was
learned that Wrigley was conduct
ing the club far in excess of the Tri-
State salary limit and that the sal
cries of some of the players we're
far in excess of what the league
regulations allowed.
Joe Knotts, the former York back
stop, was offered the managerial
reins Immediately after the dismissal
of Wrigley. He took the first train
to Trenton, but failed TO sign a con-
tract, as the inducements we're in
adequate.
In speaking of his dismissal, Wrig-
ley said: while 1 knew for some
time that the directors of the club
contemplated a change, | was rather
surprised by the suddenness and l
have no reason to offer. II is the
first time in 20 years that l have
been dismissed with such suddenness.
However, / have several offers from
major league clubs to act as a scout
and I will consider these before maxi
ing plans for the future. have

ton fans for the treatment / received

DAYS OF BIC Stick
BUT DIM MEMORIES
Major League Officials Have
Trouble to Enforce
Rules
MUST CODDLE
THE PLAYERS NOW

The trouble being experienced at
present by major baseball league Of
hcials in enforcing rules would make
it evident that the day Of ironclad
rule and the welding Of the big
stick" over the heads Of BAH players
is pretty nearly over AS II looks
now. the presidents Of the American
and National leagues and the mem-
bers Of the National Commission have
a mighty task cut ont for them 10
would appear from recent events In
the baseball world, that presidents
viii have to treat the players in a
coddling sort of way, like that which
is accorded the temperamental prima
donna by her harassed manager. as
aforesaid players will jump to the
waiting Feds"
In other years when ball players
sassed umpires. SPRAYED the tobacco
Juice on their new coats, or clubbed
an Jump on the brow with a mace,
these players were severely dealt
with either by the league president
or the National Commission, in the
event of the case being appealed.
Also. If a player fractured the club
rules and sat up" with Sick
friend" until the early hours Of the
morning. or tried to get exercise by
wrestling with John Barleycorn. that
player drew a fine Of from $50 to
5000. and usually was suspended in
definitely without pay
In the days of old, about the only
thing a player could do was to sub
NIT TO whatever penalty the powers
above sought to deal out TO him. He
had no alternative II he was dis
gruntled, or thought he had been
dealt with uniustly by his club, II
made no difference. II was a case OF
serving the sentence whether or not
the conviction was Just, and being as
cheerful as possible about It, or quit
ting the team. which would have
left him without a job.
But things are q bit different just
now. There's a Federal League
with its generous bank roll, looming
ia the ofnng. waiting TO snare any
players who are not satisfied with
their organized berths. And no one
knows this any better than do the or
ganized baseball magnates. There
fore Il seems 10 be pretty much Of !
cincn that during this year of 1911
the players won't have 10 submit e
many OF the raw deals that character
fed the past working of organized
baseball. but will have things very
much their own way.
The National Commission, II may
he remembered. ruled last October
that ball players would not be al
lowed TO write signed articles for the
newspapers during the 1914 season.
nor would the players be permitted to
sell the use Of their names TO ar
ticles.
ANY player who does this will be
dealt with in a severe way" an
nounced Ban Johnson.
Have the players obeyed the rule
They have mott They have assumed
an attitude of defiance.
''We're writing articles now and
we'll continue 10 write them as lone
as the newspapers want them" is the
attitude OF the author players. IA
