DISPOSE OF BUGS
The Savages Sell Grover to the
Sioux City Club.
He Has Been Notified to Re-
port to Indians at Once.

Bugs" Grover, one of the best
known and most widely discussed
members of the. Savage team, stated
this morning that he had been noti-
fled by the Topeka club of his sale to
the Sioux City club and had been Or
dered to join the Indians at once at
Des Moines. He said he had not def
nitely decided what he would do, but
it is considered likely that he will re-
port.
Grover came to Topeka from the
Omaha club. following a misunder-
standing with Owner Rourke Last
season he was one of Topeka's most
valua Bile pitchers, but since the OPEN
ing of the spring practice has not been
able to hit his old stride. Although it
is admitted that he has as much
stuff as any other pitcher in the
league. he has been knocked out of
two games already, and the first inti-
nation that he was slated to go came
when the club went to Wichita last
week without him.
Grover has many personal friends
here who will wish him luck every
time he works for Sioux City except in
the games that he pitches against the
SaVages.

M. E. Leaders
Object to Old
Marriage YOU

Saratoga Springs, May S.-A
service for the burial of children
and their receipt IN into the
church is proposed in a revised
ritual of the Methodist Episcopal
church, which was submitted to-
day for action by the general con-
ference in session here. Previous
ly only a ceremony for adults has
existed. The argument was ad-
vanced that a modification Of the
wording is necessary to consist
ency of usage and greater clear
ness and brevity. Opposition was
based on the ground that the lam
guage of the present ritual had
been made sacred by continued
use.
In the marriage ceremony it is
provided that when the ring is
used the words And with all my
worldly goods thee endow," shall
be omitted for the reason that the
ceremony itself implies common
ownership of property. 1t is also
proposed that the word "devif'
shall be stricken from passages
where it occurs and that the word
sin" shall be substituted
