longings was started as soon as the
danger was discovered and the sacra-
ments were carried to safety by
Father Klein. Frank Enderle found
the perpetual light holder lying on the
floor in front of the alter and brought
it out. There was strong south wind
blowing and this swept in through the
big door which was located on the
south end of the church and in less
time than it takes to tell it, the entire
structure was raving furnace. The
fire soon communicated to the parish
house adjoining the church and in a
short time this was laid to ashes. Ali
the contents of the parish house were
saved, however, ard the loss is there
fore confined to the building only. The
origin Of the fire wifi probably never
be definitely known, and many differ
ent stories have been circulated.
Sparks from the fire blew as far as
the VIM. Hommerding farm, half q
mile north of the church and ignited a
straw stack which was destroyed. The
buildings on the Hommerding farm
were saved after considerable hard
work. The loss of the church as now
estimated, will be about $4,000 with
ABOUT $11,5OO insurance. The parish
mouse was injured for about $500.
1t is thought the necessary arrange
ments for the erection of new
church will be made at once. The st.
Nicholas church, in so far as the in
terror was concerned, was one of the
finest in Stearns county and the peo-
pie have the sympathy in their loss.

DRAW|NGFOR TENNIS

Wrenn, chairman of the American committed. as- sisted by G. T. Adee. Germany and France drew byes in the first round. Aus tralasia and Canada were coupled on the brackets or the first round in the top half and the British Isles and Belgium were drawn against each other in the lower half Germany will meet the win ner of the Australia sa Canada matches and France will meet the successful na tion of the British Isles- Belgium series.
 At the close of the drawing Wrenn said that he regarded the manner in which the names had been picged blindly from a hat as an admirable arrangement He the names had been picked blindly from of the nations would be engaged in the cup competitions on the courts of this country. Canada and Australasia are cer- tain to meet here and the winner of this match will play the Germans here also. Probably all the nations in the lower half of the draw, he thought, would elect to decide their matches in Europe. Only the team of the successful nation in the lower half would visit this country for the. final which would decide the ohallengers.

LOCAL MANAGEMENT DISCUSS CHARGES OF

Greek Wrestler Msrepresented Facts Says Dr Rollers Mana ger-Says Bouts Here Are On the Square-Age- Herald
 Article Raises a Furor
By c. w. GREER

Relative to The Age-Herald's article yesterday regarding letter from William Demetral of Chicago, wherein the Greek athlete attacked Birmingham wrestlers, claiming that Kervaras, whom Birming- ham fans have witnessed in several bouts here, was a cook and others who have attracted considerable attention here were unknown, Manager Billy Sandow, man ager of Dr. Roller. issued the following statement last night:
 Tn behalf of the Birmingham Athletic club, under whose auspices the recent bouts have beenj staged here, l desire to say that so far as I know, and I am sure so far as the management of the Athletic club is concerned, every match staged here has been strictly on the square Demetrars attack upon local wrestlers is not only unjust and unfair, but is without foundation. I have newspaper clippings to show that Demetral lost the bout to Roller which he stated he won, and am also prepared to show that Demetral failed to throw Kervaras, whom he calls d cook, in 51 minutes. Demetral, more over, is under indictment charged with conspiracy and could not appear in Bir- mingham should we give him match"
 FurOr Raised
 It would seem that The Age-Herald's S article created quite furor among Bir- , mingham wrestling fans who are prone to witnessing struggles on the mat and aroused the ire of certain sporting scribes who are prominently identified with wrestlers and the wrestling game
 The Age-Herald offered its article of yesterday on it's face value. Demetral has appeared in Birmingham and is unques- tionably good wrestler, but if he has misrepresented facts it is only right that the Birmingham public know the real facts in the case.
 The athletic management of the Bir- mingham Athletic, club, in an interview yesterday, declared that every bout thus far staged in Birmingham had been on the square. The Age-Herald has not said that such was not the case Its sporting

The Baron leader Is especially partial to young oa-fielder on the roster of the St. Louis Cardinals and hopes to persuade Miller Huggins to turn him over to the Barons for the coming season. Moley also has his lines out for a new in- fielder and two more hurlers and hopes to bring them into the Baron fold shortly,
 According to Manager Branch Hickey of the Browns covington will prove to be one of the best fielding first bdsemen in the south ern league during the coming sea son and should prove towers of strength to the local club both on the offensive and defensive. Gov ington is also fast on the paths and 1t is expected that he will he constant worry to opposing re- ceivers when on base. The Brown leader states that the only reason why he released Covington to the Barons was his inability to bat eff fectively against big league pitch CTS. When in the minors, though, he made a name for himself by his prowess with the ash and Rickey thinks that he will recover his form with the Barons.

[VyITH two heavers--Joe Fin N/ neran and Burleigh Grimes w having already deserted to the Federals and two other Bar ons-Curlty Brown and Eddie Me Donald-on the verge of toppling over to the outlaws. the baseball outlook In Birmingham Is far from roseate. Should the latter two play CTS forsake the local club Moley would then be in serious predic- ament in regard to plugging these holes. Finneran and Grimes were considered eertainties for the pitching staff during the coming campaign and their desertion has increased manifold the worries of the Baron chieftain. In case Cur ley Brown follows in the footsteps of Finneran and Grimes, Moley will be left with few dependable. fingers and will either have to pin his hopes to developing a suit able duo from among the rockies or turn to the majors and gather in two at a large expense.
 Molesworth is probably having more trouble with his players this year than any other manager in the Southern. Although nearly all of his players have come into the fold those on whom he was plac- ing the most dependence have fall en back on him. Mcdonald, Me- Bride, Brown and Ponder are yet to come into the fold and from present indications he will have q hard time pacifying the first three and bringing them into line for the 1914 season. Molesworth was also unfortunate during the drafting season. Five players, who had bat ting averages better than 300, were lost to him through being gobbled up by major league clubs, while numerous other promising young sters were roped in by either clubs in the two majors or Class AA leagues.
 However. the Baron management will spare no expense in putting out a formidable team this sea- son and Molesworth is down in

GILMORE THREATENS GREATEST WAR N BASEBALL HISTORY
Ire of Federal League Ex- ecutive Aroused Over Re- port That Organized Ball
 Will Disregard Contracts

Chicago, March 3.-rhe greatest war of baseball history was threatened by Presi- dent Gilmore of the Federal league today as the result of reports that the American and National leagues were proselyting among the Federals players. News that Pitcher Banding had rejoined the Cleve- land Americans after signing a Federal contract made President Gilmore decide to take action. Besides Banding. Killifer, Williams and Baumgardner are players who, the Federals claimed. have violated contracts with the new league.
 'If our contracts are no good, their con- tracts are no good, and a player can dis regard a contract with club in organized ball as easily as he can ours" Gilmore said Therefore, if the National and American league clubs are trying to take our signed men away from us we will take theirs away.
 "We have unlimited cash and the united support of all our club owners and back CTS. We can bid as high for the players as anybody.
 Have Played Fair
 up to this time we have played fair. We gave up Cole, despite his having signed with the Chicago club, when we believed the courts would have given him to ue. We signed Killifer and Blanding in good faith and advanced money to them.
 If the American and NatioHal leagues ignore our contracts and fail to appreciate the spirit of sportsmanship we have shown we will start the biggest of baseball wars. When it is over the Federal league will have the stars of the old leagues, and will be the strongest in the game"
 Negotiations were begun. 1t was said today, between President Gilmore and Ray Collins, the Boston American pitcher, whom Gilmore wants. Dick Egan, the Cincinnati player, it was learned today, is the eighth of the world tourists sought by the Federals.
 Empires to Discuss Rules
 The Federals' umpires will meet tomor- row to discuss interpretation of the rules. Among the topics for discussion will be ted differently in the American and Ma tional leagues. Bill Brennan chief of the umpires, feared that the two interpreta- tions might cause confusion iwhen former National leaguers were playing with American leaguers.
