Eleven hits were gathered by Lee
Nagee's men. who drove three Kansas
City pitchers to an early shower bath.

WARRIOR, MULLEN
AND SWEENEY GO
TO THE MINORS
Last of Old Guard of tine
Yankees Released to
Richmond Team.

Jack WARRIOR, Ed Sweeney and Char
ley Mullen, pitcher, catcher and sub
stitute first baseman, respectively, OF
the New York Yankees, heard the long
roll sounded over them YESTERDAY;
They were released to the Richmond
club of the International League, and
will report there on Monday. All these
PLAYERS were working under an IRON
clad contract, with no release clause IN
il. and the Richmond club will assume
only part of the responsibility en-
tailed. Because of this the Yankees
will be able to recall any and all the
men if they show improvement or II
necessity arise. nj
Jack Dunn. manager of the Rich-
mond club, made a special trip to TINS
city to arrange the details OF the trace
The men will augment the Yankee col
ony in Richmond. Ensign Cottrell, the
left-handed pitcher, and Angelo Ara
gon, the third baseman. are already on
the roster of the Colonies.
The release of Sweeney and Warhop
marks the passing of the old guard OF
the Yankees. Of all the men now on
the team they alone have seen con-
tinuous service since 1908. Birdie cree

Sweeney came from the Atlanta team

hop and Cree figured in the trade which
sent George Moriarty, the clever third
baseman, to the Tigers. Both were
PLAYING in the Tri-State League. but
Detroit had claims on both, and lost
little time in making the deal. Both
have been of great service to the team.
WARRIOR was the smallest pitcher IN the the
major leagues. His underhand deliy-
erv always puzzled the sluggers, al
though it seemed easy to hit.
Charley Mullen came acre last year
He was secured from the Lincoln club
of the Central League. and replaced
Harry Williams. Mullen hit .26O last
season and was regarded as a most
promising player The ability OF wal
ter Pipp to hit long drives swayed the
balance in his favor and he got the
call over Mullen.

BROUGHT BEFORE
FEDERAL COURT

iOus to Get Back in Har-
ness with the Feds.

st. Louis, Aug. 13.-The petition OF

bounced that he would hear argu-
ments on Monday morning. A, that

neys for the Cincinnati club asked

to rejoin the Cincinnati club now and
play out the season.
The answer was: "No, not under
any circumstances"
Marsans testified that he had re-
ceived no salary from the St. Louis
Federals, but that twice month the
club had loaned him 1898. On June
25. 1914, Marsans was enjoined from
playing with any club other than Gin
c;nnati, and since that date he has
not played.
Marsans testified sha. the Cincin-
natl club at the beginning of the pres
ent season did not send him notice

him no salary since he left Cincinnati
to play with the St. Louis Federals,
and had made no move to indicate it
was exercising any option on MN this
season.

The press of Little Rock observes
that during the first twenty days of

the Capitol City there have been
more drunks in evidence over the
city than in any like period that can
be recalled.
The reason is explained in the fact
that the drinkers OF the prohibition
period are bottle drinkers and that
they really drink more when oppor-
tunty does offer, than they care to.
because the opportunity comes less
frequently
When the saloons Of Little Rock
are open. and the man given to oc-
casional drink. knows he can step in
any time and get a drink. he does not
give the subject so much considera.

In this connection it is admitted in
many quarters that a majority of
both house and senate are really dis
posed to favor the local option law
Of former days. unrestricted, than the
Going law system or the statewide
prohibition legislation now offered
But in making this admission. il
is also prophesied that when the is-
sue comes mp for action. the state.
wide prohibition bill will have much
better than an equal chance to pass
both legislative branches and become
law-because the legislators fee
their constituents would approve that
sort of legislation.
Yet, throughout east Arkansas
where prohibition generally prevails
the representatives of the people are
more liberal as to other parts Of the
state, for they feel that the local op
ton legislation will protect their sen
timents along this line and they are
willing other sections of the stat,
should have the same privilege of de
