coming season.
Yesterday thla weloome news waa
conveyed to Walter M-Creilie -n a let
ter from Secretary FarrelU of the Na
tional Association of Irofe-u lonnl ctuse
ball Leagues, to who:n Ku!ir. ;peal-J
as to his status through the ruling of
the National Commission regarding
players of the former California out
law organisation.
Last Fall McCredie signed Kuhn to a
Portland contract for 111. and at Brst
It was announced that the player waa
Ineligible to play with any team but
the Milwaukee Club, of the American
Association, and then only upon con
dition of his being reinstated by the
National Commission.
Kuhn GItcs Answer.
Kuhn appealed to the National Com
mission on the grounds that he had
never reported to Milkaukee and had
merely Jumped his reserve by that club,
and also contended that he was eligi
ble to play In the Pacific Coast Letrut
on the basla of the ruling permitting
I'fyL Kheehan and others to play with
clube In thla league.
After thoroughly considering the
Kuhn appeal the National Commission
notified Secretary Farrell to Inform
Kuhn that he was eligible to play In
the Pacific Coast league, which means
that the clever Fresno lad cornea to
Portland for the coming sesson.
While with the Portland Beavers at
Fresno during the Spring training trip
last year, the writer saw Kuhn In the
three games playeJ between the Port
land and Fresno teams, of which latter
club Kuhn waa a member until the dis
bandment of the California State
league In July. This lad ia one of the
apeedlest young ballplayers In Cali
fornia. He. aa Frank Chance say a. la
trie best player developed there since
the days of Hal Chase.
Kuhn'a regular position Is catcher,
but Walter McCredie yesterday an
nounced that be would uae the Fresno
lad at second base In the event that
Neal Ball falls to report.
Knhn Sore of lingular Berth.
-With Bradley and Murray back of
the bat." said McCredie, 1 don't need
a catcher, but Kuhn Is so good that I
will find a regular berth for him on
the team. He can play infield or out
field positions equally as well aa he can
catch, and I think his addition to the
club means a big boost for my team s
rhancea for repeating In the coming
pennant race. 1 have never seen a
young player who Impressed me more
at nrst i lance than did thla lad. Kuhn.
He la a fine base-runner, excellent
sticker, and possesses one of the most
accurate throwing arma of any young
ster who ever broke Into the game. He
wants to play with Portland, and as
1 have him signed to a contract he will
surely report to me at Santa Maria."
Kuhn Is a player built something on
the order of Ivan Olson, and possesses
fiery red hair, which Indicates a fight
ing or aggressive disposition. As a
ballplayer, he Is always In the game to
win. and his batting ability makes htm
a valuable addition to any club. Port
land la fortunate In securing this clever
player, and It now looks as though Seal
B;tll had better get busy or he might
not be wanted at all.

that the mineworkers of the Leonard

Snyder making no opposition from the

I want to tell you what Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root did for me. I was com
pletely broken down. My kidneys hurt
me so that when I was down. I could not
get up unless I took hold of something
to pull myself up with. I would have to
urinate five or six times during tho
night and It was full of sediment lik
brick dust.
I tried different kinds of kidney pills,
but they did me no good. Someone told
me to try Swamp-Root. I had no faith
in It but to please my wife, I purchased
one bottle and took It. I saw it was
beginning to help me and kept on tak
ing it until I bad taken six bottles and
it straightened me out all right.
Swamp-Root i the only medicine
that did me any good. I thought I
would write this letter and tell every
one that is afflicted as I was, to take
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. The six
bottles I took cost me five dollars, and
did me five hundred dollars worth of
good. Yours very truly,
