Tribe Gossip Contrasts.

CINdMONS Is not the only Detroit
outfielder who can be had at the
cost of player talent. Cochrane has
fly-chasers coming up from the mi
nors and only Gerald Walker is sure
to be retained. Mickey Is reported
sour on Pete Fox, the leagues best
right fielder in 1885, and Jo-Jo White
has outlived his usefulness in Tiger
town. Mickey, they say, will take
hurlers in exchange.
In Cleveland there are contrasting
rrmors. Some believe the Tribe will
be torn apart, dissected to locate that
lingering malady that makes the In
dians fold when the pressure Is on.
They say that Hudlin and Hinde-
brand, Vosmick and Knickerbocker,
Hale and Hughes will play elsewhere.
Others contend that once
again the Cleveland manage
ment smugly will stick to the
present personnel. This would
mean counting on the sensa-

BENDLER LEAVES
 FOR LINCOLN, NEE.

Kenneth Klobedanz, alleged "bathtub burglar" who will be re- leased Saturday from Nebraska states prison after serving part of an eight year term on burglary charges, will be brought back to Waterbury to answer charges aris- ing from 27 breaks here. Detective Joseph Bender left by train this afternoon to take Klobedanz into custody on his release at Lincoln, Nebraska.
 Klobedanz was given the sobriquet "Bathtub Burglar" because of his custom of taking bath in some of the homes he entered. He is said to have stolen hundreds of dollars worth of clothing, jewelry and ra- dios, here. After three months work by the entire detective bureau, his hiding place was located in the woods off Waterville street and some of the loot was recovered. Extradi- tion papers signed by Governor Cross were taken to Nebraska by Detective Bendler, who will return in about week.

 Born in l797, Schubert quickly displayed his genius as a com- poser. While Beethoven carefully completed one composition, his young contemporary wrote dozens, out of which a few were certain to be worthy of world fame. In one day, it was said, he composed eight songs of the type that made him famous.
 Lack of recognition, the over- shadowing renown of Beethoven and poverty kept Schubert in a secluded atmosphere. Despite sick body, he wrote profusely. Poverty and hard work, however, sapped his strength and he died,
