"Tork" Wins Berth: IL
Called To Service

Chester t':Red'o Torkelson. premier
box artist Of the champions this year
has won a berth with the Cleveland
Indians but is about to be divorced
from the diamond pastima to serve his
| country somewhere in France JUS
| as he gained recognition thru his per-
formance In a recent same. when he
relieved Ragby and struck out the
mighty Cobb and later caught the
Georgian mapping off first, the SUM
| mons came for Red to prepare fol
service in the big league striving fol
the championship on the Franco Bel
gian line. Manager Lee F'ohl, of the
Indians. had put the stamp OF approval
on the auburn doomed lad from Chit
cago, and Torkelson was preparing to
transfer his baggage to Cleveland
when he was named. along with seven
other Cleveland ball players, to join
the colors. RED" is ready to respond
and is more eager TO Whit the kaiser
than he was TO turn the Georgia Peach
back on strikes Cohb is authority for
the statement that the recruit from
the Central association will easily fino
a berth in the hand grenade section.
Torkelson passed the physical eX-
animation in this city.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer. in re-
ferring TO Torkelson's recent debut
against Detroit. SAYS:
Red Torkelson, rookie hurler from
Marshalltown. Iowa, has won himself
the right to a real tryout in the box
for the Indians.
THAT is the verdict of Big Chief Lee
Foil after seeing Red fan Ty Cobb
and Bobby Veach in the first inning
that he pitched as big Lacquer
And said verdict was confirmed
when, TWO innings later. Red per-
formed the feat Of catching Ty Cobb
mapping off first after the Georgia
Peach had worked Torkelson for a
pass.
Said verdict was not disturbed by
the fact that the Tigers nicked Forkel-
son for six runs on seven hits in four
innings. after having gotten to Jim
nine runs on eleven hits in the first Ave
innings
'Torkelson sure showed me some
thing while he was in there said Fohl
after the game.
He showed me enough SO that he'll
get his chance this fall and won't have
10 wait till next springs training trip
10 display his wares.
II expect 10 send him in, 10 start
not only one game hut several before
the season ends the last of September.
He may not be n polished hurler, yet,
but he looks TO me to have the max
ings.
He has a spit ball and he has
plenty of nerve. ! never saw 4 cooler
young pitcher IN the box. When they
hit him hardest he was coolest Any
youngster who can strike out Cobb and
Veach and then turn around and pick
Cobb off first has something.
Torkelson pitched against st. Louis.
Sunday, remaining in for five and two
thirds innings and getting credit for
the win. He was relieved in the sixth by
Coumbe, when the score was to IN
favor of Cleveland. The final score
was to L. Wright, ST. Louis re-

to Sothron in the third.
Letters TO friends in this city from

NEWLY FILLED BARN BURNED.

Near Roland DESTROYED,

Special to Times Republican.
Nevada, Aug. H.-While a threshng
crew was working a hundred feet away
the large barn on the Hans Hauskins
farm, southeast Of Roland, caught fire
late Friday afternoon, and was burned
to the ground, together with about
1900 bushels of oats, that had been
put into the bins during the day. and
about twenty tons of hay. The origin
Of the fire is unknown, but it is sup
posed to have caught from some one
smoking about the barn. The wind
was from the wrong direction for the
fire to start from the engine. The fire
had gained good Roadway before it was
discovered, 1t being on the opposite
side Of the barn from where the
threshing crew was working. Much
Of the oats will not be loss, as there
will be considerable salvage The loss
was partially covered by insurance.
The barn was a large one, nearly new
and in good condition. The straw

no such telegram from the emperor
exists. It is true that Mr.. Gerard was
given an audience on Aug. 10, 1914, In
order to give him an opportunity OF
placing President wilson's offer Of me-
diation before the emperor.
THE presidents personal message to
| the emperor read as from the official
head Of one of the powers which signed
The Hague convention, and said:
I feel it to be my right and my
duty in accordance with article III Of
the convention to declare to you in a
spirit Of truest friendship that would
welcome an opportunity to act in the
interests Of European peace, whether

concerned services which would give

This proposal was made at the time
when the armies of both~sides had al
ready crossed the frontier and when a
seemed out of the question to call a
halt to events. The emperor could,
therefore, only have his thanks con-
veyed TO President Wilson for his Of
fer and thereby remark that, while the
present moment was too early for me-
diation by the neutral powers, the
presidents proposal might later be re-
turned to.
The emperor then conversed FOR
some time further with Mr.. Gerard
ana explained to him .he events that
led up to the outbreak of war. The
emperor particularly pointed out the
ambiguous and disloyal attitude of
Great Britain which had destroyed all
hope of peaceful agreement.
Mr.. GerardS statements in his
memoirs appear to be a reproduction
Of this conversation. If the press in
enemy countries sees revelations in
them. that only shows they are is-
rorant of the German White Book,
which in essence sets forth the same
events.
~ Memorandum Possible.
Pos sibly during the conversation
the emperor wrote a. memorandum for
the ambassador SO that he might not
announce anything TO Washington that
would &c incorrect. In that case j.
would be a matter of record, destined
to assist Mr.. Gerard's memory, but i-
would not he communication from
