Of $1,000 before Thursdays games. At
the meeting of the association last
month all clubs were to be given II
days to cut down TO the limits, both
salary and player Each club is per
m1tued TO carry u men and a manager
The official national association con-
tracts arrived from Auburn, n. Y, on
" ednesday and have been sent out to
the various managers with instruc-
tons TO have them returned TO the
league offices as fast as they can be
signed. All the clubs, with the excep-
ton of Albuquerque, have already filed
their payrolls and the northern club
got telegraphic notice on Wednesday
morning that a copy Of its payroll
must be filed within "a hours.
The constitution provides a penalty
Of $50 and forfeiture Of games where
clubs failed to get down TO the salary
limit Reports from the north are to
the effect that, the Albuquerque club
is a $1,000 team and if this is the case
manager Reed has not been acting
fairly and will have to do some decided
pruning Of his payroll
One story from the north is 20 the
effect that Reed is going to take ad
vantage OF the exception Of the mana
ger in the payroll and put in one of
his high priced stars as a nominal
manager and thus be able to get around
the salary limit TO the tune of about
$500. Secretary J. H Farrell, of the
national association, has been asked to
give a ruling in such a case in the
event that the northerners do attempt
it It is not likely to succeed.
The very life of the Rio Grande cir
cult depends upon all managers re-
speeding the salary limit and the ma
jority Of them have done So OF the
five clubs reported, only one was any
considerable amount over the limit and
that club has promised to be down TO

CABBAGE PREVENTS
TWO BROKEN HEARTS
IN QUEER ROMANCE
BASHFUL ANSELS DISCARDED
LOVE NOTE REPRINTED BY Ma
TURE ON VEGETABLE.

SMITH, La, June lathe an
nouncement of the marriage of Ansel
Hedrick and Miss Essie Carniff re-
veals one of the oldest romances of
local history. The happy outcome OF
their romance is due entirely to a
cabbage which prevented two broken
hearts.
Ansel had been in love with Miss
Essie for several years. But h. was too
bashful to tell her so and when he
went away last spring to work on a
fruit ranch near Traverse City Essie
was heartbroken.
She did not know that Ansel had
written her a note the day he went
away, sent it to her by Jim Cowdrys
red headed kid and waited all day for
a reply. He asked her if he might call
that evening, saying he had some
thing very important to tell her that
might affect both their lives and that
anyhow he must see her before he
went away and get her promise not to
have any other fellow while he was
away.
Ansel did not know that Miss Essie
never received the note. He went
away on the early morning train de-
termined never to return and thinking
bitterly that she had refused even to
see him.
1t looked as if two hearts would be
broken and two souls left to their
loneliness until the other day when
Miss Essie went out to the garden and
picked out big cabbage to cook for
her fathers dinner. While preparing
the cabbage she observed some strange
marks on one of the inner leaves and
ripping it off, she read the note Anssl
wrote her last spring.
1t seems that Cowdry's red headed
boy wanted to go fishing and instead
1of delivering the note he threw it
away. The note must have blown
around until it lodged in cabbage
plant. AS the head of the cabbage
formed the leaves enveloped the note,
and in so doing the writing was trans
ferred to the leaf and preserved there.
Essie at once wrote Ansel of her dis
covery and he hurried here in time to
get a mess of slaw off the cabbage to
which they owe their happiness.

HISTORIC COUNTRY

WASHINGTON, D. c., June IA
"The way between Grado and Triest
lies through a remarkable country"
says a National Geographic Society
war primer, which describes the
strange path before the invading Ital-
ians to the richest Austrian seaport.
Many chapters of little-known, but
fascinating history are associated with
this coastal strip at the head of the
Adriatic, and it's legendry lore is as
rich as that of Granada. Wealthy Ro-
mans built their villas along this way
during the days of the empire, and to
this region many wars have send ed
dies, whose memories have dimmed to
forgetfulness beside the main strug-
giles fought on other fields.

PENNSYLVANIA MAN

ALLENTOWN, Pa, June 14.-The
troubles of Alexander Kirschen have

Allentown the last few days.
He had a good job as an insurance
man when he Tilted Anna Klein sew
eral months ago, and disappeared.
Some of the girls jewelry and his
employers money also disappeared.
On his arrival in Canada, Kirschen
was held as a spy. After clearing him
self from that suspicion he went to
Detroit, where he was soon found by
City Detective Nixon, who had war
rants charging embezzlement and
breach of promise,
At hearing before Alderman Bower
here today, Kirschen agreed to wed
the girl, who had attempted suicide
after he Tilted her, and a marriage
license was obtained. About the time
the knot was to be tied, it was found
he had no money to settle for the
costs. The wedding was declared off
temporarily, and Kirschen was sent to
prison.
