Wants Fielding Pitchers

The pitchers viii come in for more
practice this week in fielding hunts
and throwing to bases. Bush wants
his machine in extra fine running or
der when he pilots it north and he
intends to bear down heavily the re
manning days in the southland.
The Tribe manager feels the need
of one more pitcher Of known quail
ity and he is su4 dickering with the
Cleveland club. He has had his eyes
ON Guy Morton, but has been unable
to reach an agreement with Iris
Speaker.
The case Of jay Kirke remains a
problem to the Tribe management.
The big fellow has started TO bang
the ball like the Kirke of old, and
now the club officials are undecided
about selling him They would like
to retain jay for pinch hitting pur-
poses, but the low player limit Of
eighteen probably viii prevent such
an arrangement. Kirke's poor field
ing keeps him from giving Schmandt

was even more careless than at San

the Boulder Jail, was at liberty for
several months and finally was
found in the Missouri state prison,
serving a sentence for larceny, is
back in the Jefferson county jail
awaiting his execution, which is to
occur on June 10.
Sheriff Mountjoy has worked
night and day since Walsh's escape
to find him and bring him back to
pay the penalty. Mr.. Mountjoy's
efforts have borne fruit, but not
without much sacrifice on his part.
The sheriff dug down into his
own pocket, and spared no expense
in kilograms, paid workers and
long trips of his own to bring Roy
Walsh back to Boulder. Almost
single handed the sheriff traced
Walsh to San Diego, Calf. where,
under the name of Donald Stewart,
Walsh was arrested. He was re-
leased however, before Sheriff
Mountjoy could locate him and
make the trip to the California
city.
The trip was a successful one,
however, as Walsh's attorney in
