SIGNS WITH FEDS
Northern League
Umpire to Hold Indicator +,
in the Outlaw League.

ST. Paul. Mimi. Jan. .26.-Another
st. Paul boy has Joined the Federal
leagues umpiring staff in the person
of Ollie Anderson, who returned from
Chicago Saturday with a one-year con-
tract with the outlaw league and a
comfortable bonus. Ollie is to receive
$4,000 for his seasons work. a figure
that is considerably in advance of any
thing he could expect from the West
ern league where he worked last year.
Anderson was an American associa-
ton umpire in 1912. but last year he
was dropped when President Chiving-
ton found that Jim Johnston of the
National league was on the market.
He went to O'Neill's league and had a
good year and was under reserve when
he hearkened to the Federal call.
Has a Good Record.
In the matter of always being OF the
job ollie probably holds a record
that no other umpire can boast Of. In.
the nine seasons he has umpired. he
has missed Just three games, all Of
them because of poor train .connec-
tions. Here is his record in figures:
1s05-Northern league. 1875 games.
1906-Northern league. 1876 games.

1s1s-western league. 1ss games:
He missed game in the New
York State league in 1911 and two
games in the Western league last
year, but says poor train connections
were entirely to blame.
Brought Up Here.
Though he is a st. Paul boy and was
brought up here, where his mother
still resides. Ollie Anderson has made
his homo at Willinar for the past few
seasons. But he still regards st. Paul
as his real home and SO this city is
entitled to the credit or ignominy-
just as one feels about it-of supply
ing a quarter of the umpiring talent
that President Gilmore will have on
his payroll this year.
The other local contribution to the
outlaws is Bill Brennan, who is re-
ported to have signed for $4,000 a
year for three years. Bill probably
will be the chief of stan in the Nv
organization. -
