McAlister and Tannehill,
Vets of the Game, Released

Secretary J. H. Farrell, of the Ma
tional Association of Professional
Baseball Clubs. has just issued his
first 1915 bulletin of minor league
contracts, releases, sales etc, which
affect a number of players in the
Western league. The bulletin comes
out under date of January 8. and
shows an unusual amount of dealing
in the minors for this season of the
year, indicating that many clubs are
undergoing radical changes.
The only two outright releases from
the Western league were made by the
Lincoln and Des Moines clubs and
Pop" McAllister, the veteran catch
er who was formerly with Topeka,
and Lee Tannehill are the men.
Pops" release does not come as
surprise as the Old Vet announced
after his last game here in 1915 that
he expected to retire. However, it was
not generally known that IsbelI had
set his old White Sox companion
adrift.
The releases by purchase from and
to the Western league are as follows:
By Milwaukee to st. Joe, Patsy Bran
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1916-01-13

non; by St. Joe to Milwaukee. RinaIdo
Williams; to Los Angeles. Rapp and
Groeling; to Sioux City, Watson BY
Wichita to Oakland, Dave Griffith
By Omaha to Minneapolis, Robert
IngersoH. By Oakland to Wichita
Louis Litschi. By Denver to Cincin-
natl, Clarence Mitchell. Clyde Wares,
who managed Wichita a part of last
season, also has been purchased by
Little Rock from Toronto.
Only one optional agreement is
shown from the Western league, and
that is of Ernest Kruger, OF Omaha,
to the N. Y. Yankees.
Many players are yet to be signed
by Western league magnates and a
great many of those who have not yet
been released will undoubtedly get the
can later on. However, most of the
magnates who have not yet released
players will probably bring them on
when the spring training begins and
give them a chance. But with the
many good men who will be available,
competition bids fair to be keen, and
the fans may expect many new faces
when the curtain goes up.

NAUGHTY,
Big Black Cat Fights Girls-Beats 1t
When Cop Pursues.

New York, Jan. 15.-Although they
were repeatedly bitten about the
hands and legs, Mary Gordon, l years
old, and Catharine Walsh, IA. for more
than half an hour last night fought
big black cat in the Walsh apartments
on the fourth floor of a tenement
house in Williamsburg.
Miss Gordon, who lives in the same
house, and Miss Walsh were reading
in the parlor of the latter's home.
.when Teddy a tom cat. suddenly
.sprang upon Miss Gordon's back. He
sank his claws into ner shoulder and
was about to bite her when her COM
panion knocked the animal to the
floor.
Girls Cry for Help.
The cat then sprang on Miss Walsh
and bit her several times in the left
leg, being beaten off by Miss Gordon
who had procured a stick. For the
next half hour the cat held the girls
spaisoners in the room until neighbors,
hearing their cries summoned police.
A policeman attacked the cat with
his night stick but it avaded his blows
and escaped to the street. On the way
down stairs the policeman fired two
shots at the animal.
DIR. Babcock, who was summoned
from the Greenpoint hospital. took
both girls to the hospital where. after
cauterizing their wounds, they were
permitted to go to their homes.

IntellectuaP Brooklyn Shocked
by Inviting Goldman.
Free Love, Anarchy Disciple to
Address Civitas Club.

New York, Jan. 1S.-Many an eye
when the news seeped from that tenn
pie of intellectual research and dignl-
fled discussion. the Civitas club, that
Emma Goldman is to address the
club on Anarchy"
Every one in Brooklyn and many
persons in other boroughs are aware
of the character of the Civitas, one
of the best known women clubs in the
country, just as everyone is FAMILIAR
with Emma Goldmans creed of Vio-
lent anarchy and Emma Goldman $
frequent collisions with the police and
her free love convictions. Naturally
the news startled and Travelled all
the faster when it was whispered that
the clubs invitation to Miss Goldman
had not been entirely agreeable to all
of the members and that several had
positively refused to attend the lee
ture and to have anything to do with
was to appear. In short it was said
that the sweet harmony which had
characterized the activities of the
Civitas had been shattered.
Club President Explains.
The best authority, perhaps, as to
the truth of the rumorS of disSensionS.
is the president of the club, Mrs. Ed
win A. Quinn, who is also president
of the WomanS Branch of the City
Mission society.

of these things is a pretty good man
to keep.
Last summer Polly McLarry was
rendered a contract binding him to the
Cubs for 1916, but he indignantly re-
fused because the consideration was
not satisfactory. And now he has to
go to the Coast league. The habit OF
getting indignant over trifles is some
times as disastrous as the drinking
habit.
The Haskell Indian institute. which
usually has one of the heaviest loot
ball schedules played by Kansas in
stitution is preparing again for a
strenuous year. Announcement has
been made of games arranged with
the University of Wisconsin, Notre
Dame, Texas, A. & NJ, and several
Kansas schools.
ICY" Sherman, of the Lincoln Star,
announces that DIR. Stewart, the new
Nebraska coach impressed members OF
the Husker board as a man of polish,
education and high ideals man of
such charm from the standpoint of
personality that he at once appealed
to the authorities as the very one they
were seeking for the position of ath-
letic director.
Truly, the authorities must have
changed since they employed Stiehm
for this position. Jumbo impressed
one as a man who forgot to stop grow
ing until it was too late. He wore
peculiar style of skypiece for man
strong on the polish stuff and his
high ideals didn't KEEP him from play
ing with peculiar toys along the side
lines when games were in progress.
But, in spite of all these short com
ings, Jumbo was the greatest coach
the Missouri Valley ever had since
Yost went to Michigan, and his ideal
of never losing a game seemed to be
high enough for the Cornhuskers un-
til some of the faculty members be-
came jealous of his pay check.
That there will be some argument
over the length of this seasons West
ern league schedule when the mag
mates met at Lincoln seems certain.
The ideal baseball weather that pre-
vailed through most of the football
season last fall has convinced some of
the club owners that they at least
should have a 1874 game schedule.
/ Others think it would be better to
stick to the 40 program of last year.
