Minneapolis Magnate Here to Ar

Griffith for 1915.
BY J. ED GRILLo.

Mike Cantillon. president of the Min
neapolis club of the American Associa-
ton, which he and his brother Joe
Cantillon own, is in the city. He is
here to talk shop with Manager Griffith,
who made a farm of the Minneapolis
club last season. The object of Cantil-
Ions visit is to get line on what
players he can expect to have Griffith
turn over to him before the next sea-
son opens. Griffith may have some idea
as to this to give Cantillon. but the
chances are he will not be able to come
to any definite decision until after the
training period.
Cantillon says he has signed Walter
Dickson, Michael Menosky, an outfield-
er. and Frank Owen. the catcher. who
jumped the National last spring.
Federal League players are easy to
get" said the Minneapolis magnate. Il
get as many as twenty letters every
day from players of the defunct league
who want jobs, and they are not ask
ing war salaries, either. Our league
will be rebuilt with Federal League
material. Every club in 1t will add
some of the defunct league players to
it's teams, and that is why we also went
out and grabbed four or five of these
players, for we must protect ourselves.
The players we have gotten from that
source give promise of making good
for us, for they are fast enough for our
league, but, of course, not good enough
for the big circuits; that is why we are
getting them cheap.
THE ball players have never been as
easy to sign as this year. They realize
that it is a question of getting a job
the coming season and they are going
to play for less money than they have
for many a day."

III Johnson, La Toilette, Poindexter

and in ringing voice, il is speaking for honest,
courageous independent men as against the corrupt
political machines and their candidates
First, the battle between political freedom and
political dehauehery was waged in Caifornia-and Hi
Johnson champion of independent thought and action,
won the republican nomination for the senate.
Next came the same battle in Wisconsin, and there
the political rngserS combined to accomplish the defeat
of that veteran of political purity and justice Robert NJ
La Toilette. But the people of Wisconsin rallied to
Senator La Toilette and he, too renominated for
the u. S. senate on the republican ticket.
The next battle will be staged in our own state
Of Washington, between the fearless and independent
senator, Miles Poindexter and the machine candidate,
Congressman Humphrey
And, if all signs of the times anything at all,
Senator Mics Poindexer will be renominated just as
easily as Johnson was in California and la Toilette in
Wisconsin.
