SEATON DOOMED TO GO
BACK TO MINORS AGAIN
Waivers Have Been Asked by Weeg-
Imam on Cub Piteher-Started
Big This Season.

Chicago. July 14.-Waivers have
been obtained from all National
league teams on the service of Tom
Seaton, cub pitcher, and President
Weeghman is trying now to dispose
of him to some Minor league team.
Seaton prefers to play with Los
Angeles.
At the start of the season it looked
as if Seaton had regained his former
big league stride. He won his first
three games with the Cubs, beating
Pittsburgh, Brooklyn, and Boston,
allowing only three hits in each case.
Since then he has been going badly,
but had a chance to go to st. Louis
when waivers were asked, but de-.
clined to accept.
Last fall Seaton's Federal league
contract expired. 1t called for a
salary of $500 per year and some
extras. 1t was reported that this
year Seaton signed papers for $4,000
per year with the ten days clause in
cluded.

The work of recruiting Battery f
will be extended into every township
of Clay county on Monday by the
committee that is busy in Moorhead
today. Members of the committee
and several of the young men who
have already signed the roll will
start at $50 a. m. on Monday from
the Harris building at Front and
Sixth streets. All patriotic citizens
who will donate the use of their auto
mobiles are requested to meet there
at 0 o'clock on Monday to be assign
ed territory and be provided with
lists.
This afternoon a meeting is be-
ing held in the office of w. Geo. Ham
NETT at Hawley to arrange for the
campaign in that section Of the coun-
ty Pres. ]. A. Aasgaard will ad-
dress the meeting and the other
Moorhead men who will attend are
Leslie Welter and w. II. Davy.
A heart to heart talk was given by
Col. w. J. Murphy at the meeting
held at Phenix hall Friday evening
to arrange a campaign for recruits
for Battery F. He reminded the men
at the meeting of the necessity for
immediate action as the men who
volunteer must be examined and
sworn in before the draft or they
will still be liable for CONSUMPTION.
The importance of recruiting a
large number Of the members of the
battery in Moorhead was also point
ed out and the duty Of every citizen
to help was emphasized. AS soon as
the battery is recruited to peace
strength, 1875 men, the men will be
sworn in and the unit accepted.
Col. Murphy read a lesson to those
who did not attend the meeting. He
said the curse of America is in
justice; and there is no greater in
justice than the misuse of the rights
of men towards other men. This is
shown in the disposition to place the
burden on other people. What the
battery needs" said Col. Murphy, is
real volunteers, not those who have
to be coaxed to join" Following the
talk by the regimeptal commander
five young men signed the roll and
two other names were added later.

''This applicant, gentlemen" began
the chairman of the education COM
mittee, who was considering the ap-
pointment, of a new head master,
states that he is a splendid dis
ciplinarian, can converse fluentIy in
five languages, has won upward of a
hundred medals and certificates and
has been praised by several govern
ment inspectors as an ideal school,
master. There is, however, one
drawback to his application. Our
rules require that the children should
be taught singing and he admits that
he does not know one note of music
from another.
A vigorous discussion followed,
some favoring the application and
others going against it, but the
argument was finally brought to a
close by the quietest member of the
committee, who dryly tnterposed:
MIR. Chairman and Gentlemen:
Do not let US deprive ourselves of
the services of this paragon for such
a trtfiing obstacle. If he cannot
teach the boys to sing, let him teach
them to play the trumpet. He blows
his own remarkably Well.
After this bit of sarcasm the para
gon was passed over In favor Of q
more modest applicant.

cial.)-Ex- college athletes from sew
eral middle western states had part
in the field day of the Fort Benja-
min Harrison training station. All Of

and Campbell the half-mile and the
mile runs. Madden won the dash

cellent time for one who has been
away from the game a while.
Campbeu's victory in the half-mile
run was one of the features of the
afternoon, as he was hard pushed
all the way by Meehan of Notre

do credit to many college star who
had trained for the event to the

est were the mile relay race, when
Anderson of West. Virginia made a
sensational squirt in the. third lap.
and the high jump, when Ellis of

In the center of a large agricul-
tural district a candidate for parlia-
mentary honors experienced some
difficulty in securing a suitable room
for a public meeting. However, a
farmer came to the rescue by offer
ing his barn, announcing at the
same time that he would act as
chairman.
When the moment arrived the
farmer rose to his feet and, thump-
ing the table with a formidable look
ing stick, opened the meeting in the
following businesslike fashion:
Friends, enemies, an other folk,
amt much of a speaker, but
with a thump of the stick-"what 1
say generally say to the point. This
is a public meeting on private prop
erty, mind, and if anybody feels he
has anything against our man he
had better find safer place to say
it than in my barn. Now, mister"
to the candidate, wire in.
The candidate proceeded to wire
in" and there were no unseemly
Interruptions at that meeting.
