dig up these days that any rumors
concerned with the fate and fortunes
of a likely-looking third sacker I'M
nediatelv cause a f1utter in the base
ball world
Even now the rumor is going
around that Howard FreiSau, thlrd
baseman of parts and a former mem
ber of the Cubs, has been turned back
to the minors by the Brooklyn club.
The rumor is untrue. What Kansas
City has done is to claim Freigau II
the Brooklyn club does not wish TO
use him.
A major league team cannot take
plaver by draft and then turn him
back without giving him trial. If
it does anything of that sort it loses
claim to the player and the invest
ment.
No one could figure out why Brook
lyn should wish to rid itself OF the
best player in sight for the special
necessities of the team. Brooklyn's
infieId needs anything in the way of
gain that it can get, and the outfield
also could use more assistance.
Freigau batted we'll when he was
with the Kansas City club last sea-
son. He topped 800. III 1926 he

ANDERSON, Ind, Aug. 2o.-An-
derson had 800 residents in 1847,
and its largest building was the old
Myers Hotel, a two-story frame
structure, according to Capt. F. M.
vanPelt, local pioneer, who is cele-
krating his eighty-ninth annive~-
sary here.
VanPelt, the son of Uriah Van
Pelt, a millwright, who settled in
Madison county in the early eighties
has lived in Anderson all his life,
except during the time he served as
soldier in the Civil war.
Eighty years ago Anderson was
a village Of 500 to 900 population"
VanPelt declares. There were per-
liaps $50 buildings here at that time.
The hotel, which had ten or twelve
rooms, was pointed to with pride, as
the very latest in architecture"
Continuing his "reminiscences, Van
Pelt described Anderson's first
disastrous fire in 1851. "The Myers
Hotel and group of other down.
town buildings were destroyed" he
said, "and residents feared that the
town would never recover from the
blow"
"The only road that led into An
derson from the north entered the
town over an old bridge until 1847,"
continued the pioneer. I'm that year
the bridge, which had cost about
$500, was destroyed by a flood, and

now the Muncie division Union
