SCHRECK'S COMPLAINT
AGAINST WADDELL

Connie Mack, manager of the Athletics,
had hardly returned from the Pacific coast,
where he went in search OF talent, when
he received letter from Shrek. the mega
tive end of his battery. RUDE Waddell and
Shreck. Shreck wrote from his home in
Cleveland. as follows:
Dear Connie-This Is not a touch for
any advance, but something much more
serious and as it won't be very long be-
fore the Athletics start south for spring
practice. 1 am going to ask you to put
Waddell under another's charge this year.
While l did not mind -Rube bringing
our sleeping apartments down SOUTH 1 do
object to his habit of eating crackers in
bed. This RUDE does nightly. Not a single
night last spring did Waddell retire without
many of them resembling animals.

ed to be called in southland, had got out

to interfere with Eddie. He would turn

quently have l welcomed a night on the
road with an upper berth, so as to escape
Waddell and his crumbs.
This complaint may seem trivial to you
after your varied experiences with RUDE,
but l can assure you that the crumbs that
came from those crackers nightly were
anything but crumbs of comfort for your
humble servant. In closing 1 would like
to suggest, that If you can put clause In
Waddell's contract that he Is not eat crack

good friends. as of yore: Yours truly.

racquet presented to the club by Hugo
Barring four years ago. and the gold
racquet becomes his personal property
Play was begun at 2:30 after both men
had a warm-up. Brooke spun his racquet
and won the toss and started the service
from the rtght-hand side. scoring two
aces by service IN his first hand, while
Mackay failed to score. In the second
hand Brooke added another ace by plao-

OUTFIELD HAS
IMPROVED OVER THE I'm"

One of the remarkable things about base
ball Is the small amount of change there
has been In the distribution of fielding
chances in the past fifteen years. Glanc-
ing back over the official averages shows
that the infield and outfield have handled
relatively the same amount of chances per
game, despite the fact that there have been
some radical changes in that time. In other
words, changes In the pitching distance
changes IN the composition OF the ball and
restrictions as to the wood allowed In bats
leaves this feature Of the game practically
where It has been ever since the introduc-
ton of rules that can be called anyway
uniform have remained tha same.
One Of the points brought out BY Q COM

HOW BASE BALL SALARIES
HAVE GONE UP

You'll probably be surprised to hear 1t"
said Manager Jennings of the Detroit base
ball club. but It's a fact that the Bllti-
more club of the Eastern League, which
ran last year, paid out, within very few
dollars. exactly the same amount which
Ned Hanlon paid the old National League
Orioles that made the town famous in the
annals of base ball. That's what the war
and the increased prosperity of base ball,
working hand In hand, have done for the
players and it's a fair comparison. too, for
think Hanion paid us pretty well on the
scale of the other clubs. while my 1906
club was by no means the most expensive
in the Eastern.
''Of course we were no better satisfied In
those days than the players are now. We
did think we ought to get more money, and,
after winning our second pennant the en-
tire infield refused to come back to work
until guaranteed 50. 400 year, a price at
which big league pennant winners of the
present day would hardly look.
"It sounds funny In these days, but Bobby
Lowe will bear me out in the statement
that the year after the Boston club. of
which he was a member, had won It's sec
ond flag the entire infield, dubbed together
and struck for 500 raise for each man. At
that time Tucker. Lowe. Long and Nash
were none of them getting more than $1,000.
And they didn't get their raises, either"

UMPlRE'S DECISION
WAS CERTAINLY ORIGINAL

Umpires who decide questions Of dispute
on the ball fields Of America have problems
put up to them in a second which would
tax the wisdom of Solomon. says the Du-
luth News The men who handle the indi-
Gators in the big leagues. although they
draw the highest pay, really have the cas-
lest work of all. They are safe under the
protection Of the law, the players and the
management.
1t is in the bush leagues and in morgan
lied base ball that the umpire gets up
against it good and hard. Usually he gets
1t whether or not his decisions are correct.
but when there comes a time that he must
decide some vexed question that gives both
sides chance for dispute he certainly has
his troubles.
There was an umpire named Hartnett, a
school teacher down In southern Ohio, who
rendered decision once that ought to be
historic. That it was based on principles
OF right and justice is certain, whether or
not 1t was good base ball.
The game was between New Lexington
and Leesburg, and the score was something
like q to "a In favor of Leesburg when
Dutch Horstman, the best batter in the
county came to bat. Dutch had pounded
the cover on the ball loose and started the
seams, but this time with a chance to win,
he certainly hit 1t. The ball ripped
and the terrific blow tore 1t further. Pet
Mcclure, who was playing center for Lees
burg, ran over. leaped into the air, shot up
one hand and stuck a finger into the cover
| to the ball The cover came off, leaving it
| hanging to the fielders hands, while the
ball went on over the low center field fence

over the fence, it was two-base hit.
