in Probate Judge Roberts court,
Monday, of stealing six sacks of
grain from John Livengood, of Mob
Ter, and was fined $500 and costs,
amounting to S34.20. Quinlivan is
a transient and is travelling about the
country with his family in wagon,
taking in the harvest. He claims to
have come from LaGrande, Oregon.
Chas. Sanford, who has a home
stead down the Snake river from
Charleston but who is working with
Roy Sanford's threshing machine,
received message from Charleston
last Saturday stating that a fire,
which started on one of his neigh
boris farms, had burned over his
ranch, destroying his hay and doing
other damage. This is quite a sew
ere loss to Mr.. Sanford as he had
no insurance.
Last Saturday afternoon fire came
very near destroying the threshing
outfit of Geo Gamble, seven miles
north of town. As it was
about 300 sacks of grain was burned
but by hard work the crew saved
the balance of the grain and the
separator. The origin of the fire is
a mystery. 1t appears that it came
from the wind stacker and in mo-
ment the whole strawpile was in
flames. The loss of the grain was
covered by insurance.
A wreck on the N. P. between Troy
and Kendrick Tuesday morning,
caused by the engine running into

circles here today was that the national

For organized baseball to meet the Fed

that it would be a great blow to 1t.

TRINITY PROTESTS
MALONE ACTIONS

sporting Edi;or of The Washington
Hera ld-Dear Sir: For the information of
other mana gers and of the public gen
orally | request that the published re-
ports of two games Sunday. september
- at Clarendon. between Clarendon and
Trinity be corrected to show that the
Trinity team refused to complete the sec
"nd game because Mr. Malone. the
Clarendon manager. fatty refused to live
up to III" agreement concerning the col
lection as written TO me and bearing his
signature. | consider Trinity the victim
of unspOrtsmanlik treatment ON the part
of Malone. who denied having any corre-
SpOndence whatever with me when he
actually knew that ! had everything in
black and white.
Trinity WAS 10 receive one-half of the
collection. but Manager Malone refused
to turn ii over to me. so l ordered my
team from the field. as / thought that
IL the Clarendon manager was not man
10 keep his word he was not fit for me
or my team to have anything further to
do with. / do not want to take any
credit from the Clarendon team for beat
ing Trinity. for l found all their players
fair and square. and do not hold them
for the actions of their manager. but l
do think that for the good of the team
and the Clarendon public they would he
far better off and become more popular
If they would only get a new manager.
One other point I wish to make clear
and II is this Trinity does not pay any
of her players: they all play because
they like the old game. They even pay
their own expenses to games. and all
guarantees received for playing must be
used to defray expenses of material for
the team. Now. II Manager Malone has
TO give some of his players inducements
TO come out to Clarendon to play and in
doing so is forced to break his agree
ments with other teams. l cannot see
where he gets much enjoyment out of
the game and how he can claim any
amateur championships of Virginia or
any other place. Very truly yours.

BIG DEALS MADE
BY MAJOR MOGULS

A Philadelphia scribe. noting signs Of
the times, asks whether baseball is be-
coming a box-office sport instead of a
diamond pastime. 1t would seem that
way. judging from the wholesale sales
and trades of star ball players since
the season of 1914 closed.
In no other period have there been
so many startling deals involving play
ers Of the highest caliber. 1t has often
been said there is not enough money In
the world to induce an owner to sell a
truly valuable player, but this asser-
ton doesn't hold good when 1t is re-
called that SO many geniuses OF the
diamond have been sold in less than
year.
Connie Mack started the practice
when he sold Eddie Collins, the most
valuable player in baseball. to Charles
Comiskey for $4,000.
Here is list of the larger trans
acfions.
