CHICAGO, Aug. 2O%.-should Charles w.
Somers make good in HIS determination to
sell his stock In the Cleveland ball club

Il. f. Rogers, president of the English
Wooden Mills Company, wants to buy all
him the Maps" look good, and he thinks
that he would be able to do things with
the team.
When Somers saw that someone was
taking him up in earnest he refused to
part with his holdings.
In telling how he would manage a team
Rogers said:
Il would not want Napoleon Lajoie to
manage the team. He would be asked to
play second and be relieved of further re-
sponsibility IL he would not play. He
could be used to great advantage in pull

Hunter Hill, who played third base for
Washington a few years back, now with
Buffalo, was not noted for any Apollo-like
beauty of countenance, and, although he
was in the main a good-natured player,
his appearance when at the bat was fierce,
to say the least.
He was one of the best sacrifice hitters
then in the big league, and for that reason
he was generally called upon to make a
sacrifice hit whenever 1t came his turn to
WELD the willow.
One day when Hunter was at the bat,
with that grim look of determination
overspreading his expressive, If not hand
some, countenance, Jack Thoney, who was
then playing on the Washington Club, but
who now seems to have every big team
manager in the country bidding for his
services, was seated in the grandstand
with a young lady, having laid off from
play this particular afternoon.
Barry Mccormick was on first base, and,
of course, 1t was up to Hunter to sacrifice,
and so Thoney told bis friend.
but what does sacrifice mean?" inquired
the fair fan, with a bewildered look.
ut means" explained Jack, that Hill
there at the bat will allow himself to be
put out on going to first, SO that McCor-
mick can reach second base"
Dear me-" exclaimed the young lady:
from Mr.. Hills appearance you wouldn't
think that he would be so generous and
kind-hearted, would your
Thoney told Hunter about it that night
down at the hotel, and Hunter didn't
laugh himself into mysteries over it all at
once, dilnOuBn tue Ot1tI meInDGfS OIL the
club enjoyed the story hugely.
Too Much for Connie Mack.
Connie Mack, as every one who knows
him will agree, is n mighty considerate
manager, and the best friend that any
young player ever had.
Connie is noted for the deep interest he
takes in ovices and for the generous
manner in which he ladies' out his advice
to them. This advice. though appreciated
in most cases on the recipients part, has
also been the cause of getting Connie real
vexed on more than one occasion, for
when you are advising a man whom you
have just canned you must look for some
sassy sayings on that individuals part.
A couple Of years ago Mack signed a
young Southern phenom by the name of
Brouthers. who was the whole cheese
down in the Southern League, but who
when playing ball at the third corner for
the Athletics never caused Bradley or
Jimmy Collins TO put a paddock on their
laurels.
In fact, Mr.. Brcuthers, though a very
witty young man and a genteef fellow
enough, was simply not the major Sleague
goods. and Connie pus him next to this
fact in his usual quiet. but nevertheless
convincing, way.
In winding up the little heart to hreat
talk he had given the boy Connie said:
Baseball Is like all other businesses. to
make a success at il YOU must begin at
the bottom and work your way up
"Oh, you don't have 10 begin at the bot
tom In all businesses. for If you did YOU
wouldn't make much of a success" diff
fered the young third saNker.

IT WAS roo SHORT NOTICE.

"Old Uncle Jed" was so fond of his
coppers as to have acquired the repu-
tation In Millville OF being "leetle
Nigh" but he was also fond Of crea-
ture comforts. Somehow 1t taxed his
ingenuity to reconcile these conflicting
tastes.
The citizens of Millville were much
addicted to entertainments OF So
cial and edible nature called "subscrip-
ton parties" and Uncle Jed was al
most invariably one of the partici-
pants. He sacrificed his desire for
economy. however, by fasting for a
certain length of time beforehand.
On one occasion party was hastily
arranged In honor of transient guest
OF the town, and Uncle Jed was in
formed of the AFFAIR on the forenoon
OF the very day on which the enter
tainment was given.
