ST. LOUTS, Dec. 8. President Rickey, of the St. Louis National league baseball club, is much exercised by the repeated statements made by Charles Weeghman, president of the Chicago club, that he was sure to obtain shortstop Roger Hornsby from the Cardinals for cash. "Weeghman has a charming personality and is a decided asset to baseball," said Rickey. "He has a difficult role to play in Chicago, where he must compete with the greatest promoters of beneficial publicity in baseballBan Johnson and Charles Comiskey. I realize that Weeghman feels that he must keep his club before the public. I am willing that he should do so, but not at the expense of the St Louis club. "Weeghman did make me a conditional offer of $50,000 for Hornsby. but the conditions were so impossible that I really paid no attention to the offer. "However, the cbnditions are neither here nor there. Hornsby can not be bought It is useless for Mr. Weeghman or any one else to talk of buying Hornsby,. or even of making a trade for him. "However. Mr. Weeghman can deal with me for other players. He has

TOUT WRITES OF MEASLES IN GAMP

PERSHING. Ind.. Dec. 8. Leroy Tout, in a letter to his father, received Friday, announced he was down with the measles in camp at Hattiesburg. In a previous letter he was telling of the attacks of the disease which were put down to cold conditions at night. He is the first of the Pershing boys to be ill. The first year of the Christmas club at the Jackson township bank, has been successful, and $1,500 will be distributed. The township board had before it Friday the case of a tramp that was begging in the town, Thursday, and had to be driven from the Bell homestead. Seven tramps the day before refused to accept work at the gravel pit, and assist in the work of ballasting the railroad tracks. The township has been over run with this gentry, and the marshal will arrest the next offender on Bight Rev. Mr. Haines will preach on the "Second Coming of Christ" at the Lutheran church Sunday. The choir held a rehearsal of a Christmas cantata, under direction of Director Gaar. Friday The cantata Is supported by an augmented chorus and is entitled "The Angelic Choir."

promised bis people in Chicago that he will provide them with a great catcher. "I will help Weeghman make this

promise good. I have the two best i catchers in the game. I consider i

Snyder and Gonzales superior even to Schalk. "If Mr. Weeghman wants to trade he can get one of my catchers. I want players and a dignified sum of money for one of these catchers. "I realize the difficulties Mr. Weeghman has to contend with in competing with Messrs. Johnson and Comiskey for beneficial publicity, but I feel that his assumption that the St Louis baseball club is a slave market, not a baseball club, is injuring the property of which I have the honor to be the executive head. "When players read that immense sums have been offered for them, maybe merely to secure publicity, they get an exaggerated idea of their value. This exaggerated idea manifests itself in demands for exorbitant salaries, discontent etc. "So I have resolved to depart from my invariable rule not to make trades in the newspapers and to offer to trade one of my great catchers to MrWeeghman. I want some players and some money from him. I will not ask for Vaughn or Douglas, either. "I think it is up to Mr. Weeghman to quit leading the conversation in the hot stove league and to split some wood that will keep the fire burning. He has promised the Chicagoans a great catcher. I can make it possible for him to keep that promise, to give him a rival to Schalk."
