MILWAUKEE. Wis., Sept. 30. Jap Barheuu, the former Brewer, who was recent ly given his release by tiie Oakland Oak-land ball club of the Pacific Coast league, will he back with the Milwaukee club next season. Jap is a high-class player and his release to the California club last winter u.is a big surprise to Milwaukee fans. He would fit in nicely at third base for the team next year and lie is anxious to play here, so there was no trouble in arranging ar-ranging terms suitable to both Jap and the club. Jap played fine ball on the Const this season, but the club was losing so much money that the higher-salaried men were cut off. Barbeau happened to be one of these unfortunates and was handed his release. - Jack Kitlllay, former Oak pitcher, feels that sporting writers of the northwest have done htm an injustice in crediting him with being a trouble maker. KiUilay is in Oakland now, appears to be in fine condition, and is anxious to clear himself of any charges that may hurt his chances in baseball. "The absurdity of blaming me for the fact that Bill Hurley lust his job with the Great Falls club," said Jack today, "can he seen readily enough when I point out i that I was only on the club three days j vhf-n tiie owners changed management. I If there was a clique formed against Hur- ! ley, I didn't know anything about it. It's i foolish to accuse a man of being a source of discord on a club when he hasn't had time yet to even get acquainted with the players. The truth of the matter is that, unknown to me, my brother. Martin, sug-mieste.1 sug-mieste.1 my name as manager of the Great Falls club when he heard the directors were contemplating a change. "I never knew this until after I had applied to Hurley for a job by letter and had accepted terms. In fact, 1 never knew it until long afterward, but it appears ap-pears to have got out In some way that I applied for Hurley's job while he was still manager. Naturally. suc;h a story got me in wrong, yet there is absolutely no truth In it." This much can he said for Jack KiUilay. He keeps in excellent condition, gives .a club the best he has at all times, is an intelligent ball player, and a chap of pleasant personality. Judging from his record with the Great Falls club, he has still a good bit of pitching ability left, also. Oakiand Tribune. |
