WHY He BECAME A CATCHER

"Hackenschmidt" Spencer, the
best young catcher that has en-
tered balloon in recent years, is
a wind-padist solely by accident.
When he turned professional two
years ago he was a pitcher. Waco,
Texas, was his stand and the only
reason he didn't continue his spe-
cialty with that outfit was because
none of the boys with the big mitt
could handle his hot-shot.
Spencer's speed was too much
for them. So good was he on the
slab that Waco's entire corps Of
catchers went on strike, telling the
management that not for double
the money each and every man was
receiving would they stand up and
allow the fat boy from Scranton
to batter their hands to pieces with
his swift shoots.
spencer told the management
that in his kid days he did some
catching. So the suggestion was
made that he,return to his old posi-
tion. In quick fashion he was out
catching et erything in the Lone
Star state.
1t was then that Joe Gardner,
manager Of the Dallas team, got
peep at Spencer. He is Bob"
Hedges Texas agent, and 10 min
utes after the game was over Gard
ner had sent a wire to the st.
Louis magnate that second

The executive committee of the
City Bowling league unanimously
dismissed the charges against Gro

cused by H. l.. Haupt, manager of

shirt and pair of shoes. The diff
ferences between the City league

Electric science, evolved from the
Inventive genius of Thomas A. Edi-

Only few days ago learned

Liverpool and New York, and
gravely determined, after much
discussion. that the feat could new
er be accomplished.
For years has it been known
generally that Mr.. Edison was bus

this line. Only within the last few
months, however, has there been
reason to suppose that his work
was reaching a definite result.
