~ bad, as they say in Kentucky, but the
idea of giving two men for ono was not, in
accordance with his ideas of commercial
fnesse, so he told Byrnc that nc must also
have two players if he gave up two.
Mr. Byrne of Brooklyn at this juncture
remembered Keller. Billy wns not an Gle

and the club had already made up It's mind
to release him. a happy idea entered

and that point being settled tho transfer
was made.
Right in tho start circumstances com
PEELED Hanlon TO call upon the "boot" to
take place on the Baltimore nine He
looked around and determined 30 nut the
boy in right field, the place where all
questionable players are tested. Tho result
in kceler's case was not promising at the
start Indeed he made such ''mcss of it''
that after a few games he went to Hanlon,
almost choking with emotion, and begged
for his release. II am out of my class in
the big League" he said, land 1 want to
get back to the class where can hold UP

Hanlon jollicd the boy along and re.

pleaded to no purpose, and Hanlon finally
said to him: you might rs well under
stand me, Billy. You are going 10 play
that field right along every day even if
you miss half the balls that come ont your
way. So the quicker you dismiss tho idea
that you can't play on this nine and get to
work doing your best the better it will be
for you and for the club" Keller went
back to his work dcspondcntly, but from
that day his fielding improved. Confidence
had been his lacking ingredient AS soon
as he gained that he went right up to the
high place in tho ranks to which he was
fitted by nature Before the season was
half over Kccler's fielding and batting
were the talk of admiring thousands and
his fame was established throughout the
broad land To Manager Hanlon he owes
everything.
Kcclcr is young, and his baseball f,iturt
must be bright and long. His habits are
good and his health of the best. He is not
large man. Indeed his height is under
the average. His face is rather thin, his
complexion is dark, and his weight Is but
moderate.

him Ho has great record of striking out
DatSincn In college games. 1t remains to
be seen whether he can fool batsmcn of
the League as well. College batsmen, Us n
rule, are easily deceived by curves and
will nip at nearly everything Pond may
find his new task not such an easy one
Should League players refuse to go after
his curves he'll have to shoot them over.
Then it will be seen what calibcr he pos
