fell upon Lohr while he was trying to
cash 4 check for So. The check, which
was made out in pencil, was drawn
against the Union Savings Bank, o.
Union, on blank of The Citizens
Bank. OF Union. 1t was not dated and
was made payable to Henry Pappe and
signed by John w. Lohr, as maker
While Sheriff Edgar was OBTAINING the
Young man iii South Center street for

he Federals. He seemed satisfied
with his lot.
Now comes the report that he has
been offered 100000 for three years
by the Chifeds, with $4,000 advance
money and the first years salary paid
when he signs a contract.
Statements by the parties interest
ed make the affair more mysterious.
Weeghman, president of the Chifeds,
and the gent who is handling the
local bankrol, denies absolutely that
he has made Weaver an offer and
says that no Sox players will be tam
pered with eff can help it"
That last statement further mud
dies the situation. 1t suggests that
possibly some other team in the third
league may go after Weaver. Weigh
man realizes the hold that Comiskey
has on local fandom and knows that
it would not make him popular to
tamper with any of the Old Romans
chattels. Whether the signing of
Weaver by some other team would
hurt the locals is puzzling Weigh

and for that reason he is trying to
block the deal.
Nevertheless, dispatches continue
to come from the coast, purporting
to quote Weaver as repeating the
terms of the alleged offer from the
Chifeds.
Weeghman's denial should clarity
the muddle.
But why is he so quiet about the
Scott deal? Take it any way you will,
it's puzzling, and the. only thing to
do is to sit back and wait for some
thing to break.
Weeghman may figure this way:
Comiskey has wealth of pitching
material and could weather the loss
of Scott The detection of Weaver,
on the other hand, would be an ir-
reparable loss, as Buck is good for
years to come and is already one of

from Weaver and Scott that they
were dickering with the Feds, Cal
lahan ordered both players to report
to the first team. Weaver was due to
go with the main squad anyhow, but
Scott was expected to remain with
the seconds to help out with the
pitching.
Apparently Cal is disposed to credit
the reports and wants the two ath-
letes where he can keep an eye on
them and forestall the fiendish plot of
the Feds.
The Sox busted nine hits and made
them count ten runs against Los An
geles. The Angels scored five times
off the pitching of Bill Lathrop. La
throp was sick, but stuck through the
game because of a scarcity of pitch
ers. Smuggling featured the Sox at
tack, Bodie soaking a homer in the
first inning with two on base.
The seconds outgamed Modesto, 8
to 1, in a tight battle of pitchers.
Weaver forgot politics and played
sensational ball at short, having eight
assists. Kid Smith pitched for the
Sox and did a tip-top job of work.
Tinker's Feds are combating some
comparatively soft pitching in the
practice games at Shreveport, but
their work is quite impressive. Get
ting to even mediocre pitchers daily
is sign that there is something pres
ent in the way of eyes and muscle,
and the Chifeds certainly have been
pestling the old pill
They beat Centenary College again
yesterday, IA to 0, and compiled II

also urged the farmers to appear on

tenths of the farmers in the county

work. He said he was willing to pay
