Midwest Heat Wave Continues

Chicago-The heat wave which has
turned the central section of the
country into hot house since last
Monday, probably will go into its
second week of torrid temperature
continuing what weather observers
declared Sunday was an unpreced
ented heat wave in point Of duration.
The heat is still intense over the
Central, West Central and Southern
district, according to the weather
bureau. Readings exceeding 80 de-
grees occurred over a wide area. The
government thermometer at Decatur
ILL.,, registered 101 degrees.

Chinese Are Deported

New York-Fourteen of the fifteen
Chlnese survivors of the schooner
Mary Beatrice, who arrived in New
YORK with a weird tale of battle upon
the high seas, were part of a party
OF 1O4 of their countrymen who
sailed Saturday on the Momus for
New Orleans, the first leg of their
long journey BACK to China. All the
Chlnese were ordered deported when
it was found they had been smuggled
into America in violation of the i'm
migration law.

The Boy Scouts of America has

President Harding, an enthusiastic

quota of the 100000 Increase and has
thereby won the Presidents streamers.
President Harding in the course of
his inspiring letter says:
Il am heartily anxious to do all in
my power to extend the influence of
the scout program, because America
must avail itself of every resource for

Pittsburgh in exchange for Rawlings,
who helped the Pittsburgh nine much
more than Tierney helped Philadel-
phia. Powell was badly needed by
Philadelphia, as II is feared that Will
liams may not go well this year, ow-
ing to the physical trouble that he
had last season. The team has been

Philadelphia manager. believes that
he has captured good man.

Mitchell was about deciding to try

dent of club to nearly every other
position.
The Southern Association in 1924
VIII make the general admission 90
leagues have gone back to that basis,
and the greater ease or handllng
money is one of the reasons why the
Shift was made. The association mad
charged 40 cents and war tax extra,
and the odd price was great source
of trouble throughout the season.
Buffalo did not lose out on the
meeting. George White came to Chi
cago to get two catchers and a pitch
er and got them both. one OF the
catchers who is to be his Is
Hill of Toronto and the other
is McAvoy of Rochester. That
gives him two men with whom to
start the season. no matter what may

Pittsburgh Pays Plenty.
In the deal by which the Pitts
burghs gave Boehier. kun1 and Adams
for Kramer, the Oakland pitcher. the
Pittsburghs let go of three players
who cost $4,000 last year on top
of that they paid $4,000 for kraner
in cash. Evidently there is money in
sight in trying to win championships
in Pittsburgh.
Ty Cobb went back to Atlanta a

face trying to get Dykes, but Connie
would have none of It. He wants
Dykes and Bishop too. Mack feels

You will notice this. contract

They didn't bother about little
things like that in those days. In
fact, | don't know why contract
was necessary. They could fire
me whenever they wanted to
anyway. The part that always
gives me a laugh is that pay ION
the first and fifteenth OF each

But those boys knew what they
were doing. 1t never did become
possible. The league broke up i'll
two months.
Another funny clause is that
one about taking out the money
for my uniform and shoes the
first month. You may not know
it, but that clause still sticks i'll
base ball contracts. It is obso-
lete, though. The big league
teams never make a ball player
pay for his Uniform: as a rule.
They have right to. just the
same.
Two Breakups in Three Days.
Ny brother Al was also on that
team. He played the inheld.

team were two great ball play
ers who afterward played with
me in the big league. They were
Claude Ritchie, the second base
man of the Pirates later, and
Harry Smith, the old catcher.
When the breakup came the
Steubenville team moved to
Akron, Ohio. where we played on
the Butchel College grounds.
There we lasted just three days
when the club broke up again. 1t
seemed like | never would get
that thirty-five dollars coming

But there were big doings in
the three days we lasted. The
Wagner brothers got two home
runs each day. Still, Al was the
most famous.

team broke up, I've. got job

McGill was' approached to buy the
Toledo property. but when he arrived
in the east. after being summoned
from California he found that he was
too late, as an agreement of some
kind had been entered into by which
the indianapolis men. formerly his
partners, were to take Toledo under
their wing.
Under the arrangement now to be
perfected the Toledo club will be
managed by Jack Hendricks, former
manager of the Indianapolis club.
The real estate in Toledo. it is said,
is in the name of the New York Ma
tional League club, and this will be
sold outright to the indianapolis in
tereSts. The Smiths and Hendricks
will transfer their residences to To-
ledo.
Reds Now May Branch Out.
Cincinnati never has been enthu-
sastic about taking up a club in a
minor league, and the new venture
will give that club chance to place
it's players if the organization is de-
termined upon a policy of branching
out into minor organization.
This also Will give the National
League a direct representation in
the American Association. Toledo
has been working ally of the New
players is concerned and probably
will continue to be under the new
arrangement, as the Smith interests
always have been friendly with the
New York club.
Who the manager of the Indian
apoliS club will be is yet to be deter
mined. Whether Bresnahan will con-
ttnue in managerial capacity with
the American Association is another
question not settled upon.
The amount Of money that has been
passed TO swing the deal is a matter
not made public by the clubs inter
ested, but the Toledo property is val
Eable as a business venture without
taking into conSidera tion its base ball
value.
No Local Pilot Yet.
The report that Gleason had been
signed to coach the cubs was a false
alarm and it is now declared that he
is in line at Washington for man
agerial job there. Between trying to
land Gleason and Eddie Collins on
Washington. the base ball bugs are
having a hard fight with Griffith. He
will manage for him. If Bill Don
uvan had not met death in the train
wreck he might have been manager of
Washington.

and Ford a second bascman, who has
played for Boston with some success.
ability to cover ground has been his
biggest asset.
The Philadelphia Nationals decided
that they did not want Tierney after
one season of experiment with him at
second. Tierney was obtained from
