Not a single member of the Joplin
team has been fined, benched or sent
from the grounds by an umpire TINS
year. Not another team in the Western
Association can boast of this clear rec
ord. So far as behavior is concerned
the White Sox are perhaps the direct
and complete artithesis of the Miners
There are some funny features to the
imposing of penalties by umpires, and
two of them happened to Jack Henry
this season. who Abe Lazotte says IS
the best catcher in the shiyeley circuit,
and as good as any in the Western
League barring Wakefield.
Henry disputed a decision of Ghio's
one day over at Leavenworth- He was
ordered back to his place. but kept on
"On the grounds wild you" yelled
Chic, and Henry had to leave the park.
After a little while. Chic discovered
he said, going up to him, IF I let you
come back into the game will you be
good?"
mo- replied Henry laughing.
"Get back into the game" said Chic.
Henry returned and the incident was
over.
At Oklahoma City, Lewinson put
Henry off the ground one day for roar
ing about a decision.
Captain Abbott rushed up to Mort and
told him that he had no catcher if Hen
~ was put out.
You get off the grounds" said Lew
inson to Abbott. land I'll let Henry
stay ,ae.
the grounds and stayed outside during
the entire game, and Henry returned
and caught the game.
Abel Lazotte who was released yes
terday from the White Sox is very sore.
II don't think that is the way to treat
a man." he said. 81 played good ball
for Sheard and then when l get hurt,
and it is too late to catch on anywhere
else. he Just let me loose just to save
meas1y $50 or SAC my salary. That
certainly is the rottenest treatment that
was ever accorded to me. There is Jack
Holland over at Wichita He has been
hurt two weeks and will not get back
is carrying him on his pay roll, because
he appreciates the hard work which
Jack did for him. I sprained my ankle
over at Leavenworth and it is too bad
to use. I tell you right now it is
mighty shabby trick"
Joplin has loaned Lefty Magic to
Guthrie for the rest of the season. The
Miners had six fielders for a time, Gray,
Welday, Bashore, Baerwald, Bayless
and Nagle. Speaking about the men
who will go up from his team next year,
Captain Vanderbilt said: IL look for
Morris and Wilkerson to advance. Bay
less has already been sold to the Kan
sas City BIooz and Dufbin has gone to
st. Joe Mo. I think Olson ought to stay
with us another year. We have some
offers for him. But the best thing he
can do is to take another year OF
Western Association. He still has lots
to learn yet"
From the Leavenworta Post: They
told a good story on Frank Quigley
the night he joined the Leavenworth
team. It seems that Quigley was at
one time playing on team In Bloom

captain of the league team at Ia

cago a week before Andrews was to
leave to open spring practice at Ta-

We need good men," Frank replied;
ssAll right, I'll GOMEZ But you can't
get away from your Bloomington
in the days when Quigley was young
and signed contracts a year or two

and travel under the name of Brown"

YOU will never be caught if you leave
your red hair at home" As Andrews
tells the story, Quigley went so far as
| to dye his hair and buy ticket home
to Indiana to bid his wife ana folks

coming home with brown hair in
stead of the dear curly red" which
