SECOND BASEMAN PRATT
TOO COSTLY FOR YANKS.
St. Louis Magnate Wants $4,000
and Two New York Players for
His Star Infelder.

The Yankees will rescue no more ath-
letes from slow death in st. Louis until
Philip De Catesby Ball. owner of the
Browns, quits talking Mexican money.
Col Jacob Ruppert's efforts to have Der
rell Pratt's sentence committed from
life in ST. Louis to a quick death or a
broken leg with the Yanks failed ut
terly. and for the last time. when the
colonel and Ball met in final clinch
in Ban Johnson's Office recently.
Ball wanted only $4,000 in cash and
two New York players in exchange for
Pratt, and after Col Rupert satisfied
himself that Ball wasn't bidding he
grabbed his watch in one hand and his
bankroll in the other and fled before

decker has been on and off several
times. Although the Browns are going
nowhere, and Pratt has a bad wrist.
Fielder Jones rates him as a wonder

of Yankee pitchers, and now Ball wants
Thinks Ball a Comedian.
II never knew Ball was a comedian
BEFORE" says the Yankee boss. Though
he has never expressed such an opinion.
the colonel also suspects that Philip is
an egg. It seems to be failing Of the
St. Louis club. Col Rupert and Capt.
Huston have never forgotten how Bob
Hedges tried to stick the Yanks with
couple of dead ones when the New
York club changed hands.
Pratt is not going very well and
would welcome a change. The Browns
are facing reorganization, but will

with his club owners except force them

prices for big prospects, but he does

in him. From now on the club will

of the country's existence when it is
appropriate that such action should be
taken.

SOME ANCHORAGE FOLKS
 OBJECT TO LICENSES

Some Anchorage people object to paying licenses for doing business and numerous cases have been pass along to the district attorney for de- cision. A letter from Commissioner Conroy to the clerk of the court gives a list of objectors.
 Grover c. Frame has an electric light plant which irradiates the An chorage Red Light district. He dose n't want to pay the annual tax of $500 imposed on electric companies by the federal law. The officials can't agree with Grover that he ought to be exempt because he is supplying light only to a select and limited class of consumers.
 The town of Anchorage has city electric plant owned and run by the federal government like all other utilities in that town. The red light district is outside the town limits and the government officials don't seem to take any interest in it nor care whether it is lighted at all. Where fore Grover Frame stepped in and supplied the long-felt want. AS a pub lie benefactor he thinks he ought to be exempt from taxation.
