TOUGH JOKE ON
DICK COOLEY

Dave Jones tells this one: I'VE were
playing in Chicago years ago and the
game was close and interesting. All the
players were bending to their work with
a will. In the seventh inning Dick Cooley
hit the ball on a line for my field. 1t was
a smashing drive and started to run as
the ball left the bat. 1 had a long run
for it and barely reached the ball to
gather 1t In with one hand. AS 1t landed
in my hand Cooley turned first base.
He glanced in my direction and seeing
me still running he dug out for second.
thinking the ball had passed me, as had
been unable to slow down all at once. When
l saw the joke I kept on running, too.
Cooley turning second. saw me still run
ming and he sprinted for home. He glanced
back and saw me throw the ball to an
tnfelder to relay 1t in. Cooley passed third
at his best speed and few down the line,
making grand slide over the plate, where
the catcher. who had tumbled to the stu
alton. was standing with arms outstretched
as though to take the throw. How that
crowd did yell as Cooley landed on the
plate in cloud of dust. Fans stood up
and laughed till they cried Cooley arose
and brushed his clothes before starting for
the bench. The crowd kept on cheering
and he dotted his hat and smiled broadly.
1t wasn't until he had reached the bench
that he learned that the ball had been
caught. Sore? Say, he would hardly speak
to me during the rest of the SERIES

TOM CROOK SIGNS
WITH BALTIMORE

Tom Crook, one of the best ball tossers in
the District and who played in the New
England LeaGIe last season, has signed a
contract to play -.rst base for the Baltimore
Eastern League team during the coming
season. Manager Dunn of the Baltimore
team presented Crook with a contract last
Saturday and the big fellow was not slow
in returning it with his signature attached.
Crook, who weighs about 100 pounds, bat
ted for 800 last season. getting twenty-five
two-base hits and nine home runs. accord
ing to his dope. 1t is stated that Crook has
asserted to Manager Dunn that IL he did
not show something on the other first base
men in the Eastern League, the manager
could kick him out of the ball park.

NEW PITCHER
FOR CONNIE MACK

PHILADELPHIA, January 3O-Manager
Connie Mack brought back good news upon
his return from his trip to Worcester. Be-
sides renewing his contract with Dan Muir
ply, which in itself Connie Mack consid-
ers a good stroke, the Athletics astute
manager has purchased a new pitcher,
O Conner by name, whom Mack predicts
to be a coming wonder. OConnor was
landed in Poughkeepsie and halls from
the Hudson River League-from the same
quarter as came Dygert.
Il have had my eye on that man for
some time said Mack. II thought I had
lost him, and when I again had the chance
on my present trip I bagged him."
Other players of the regular team who
have signed since Dan Murphy are Sey-
bold Schreck and Plank. This leaves only
Knight, Bender, Lord, Powers and Hartsel
of the old guard yet to hear from. Connie
expects to hear from them almost any day.
When asked about the probable makeup
of his team for 1907, Connie smiled his
usua. smile and said that with the pos
sible exception of Nichols, who will, of
course. try for an infleld Job, and a few
new pitchers and catchers, his team would
not differ very much from last year. The
Athletics manager has little to say on the
present agitation regarding the schedule.
1.-The playing dates bother me but little, -
said Connie Mack. ''Give me the team and
we'll make the dates all right"

ECKERSALL TO
PLAY BASE BALL

CHICAGO. January 30.-Walter Eckersall,
the greatest foot ball player and one of
the best athletes the west has ever pro-
duced, has given the Chicago University
undergraduates something to shout about
by announcing that he will be q member
of the university track team this spring,
as well as q member of the base ball nine.
Eckersall has a great record on the grid
iron. He cleared himself Of the charge of
professionalism with flying colors. He was
considered the best quarterback In the
west, IL not in the country. His great work
helped Chicago humble the triumphant Uni
versity of Michigan eleven In 1904. One of
the last games Eckersall played in for the
maroon Of Chicago was against the ILL.,
nois eleven last fall. Chicago won the
game. 63 to o. Eckersall was the lion of
the day. He kicked no less than five goals
from field. As an all-around kicker Eek
ersah has never had superior on the
foot ball field. He is now Ineligible for
gridiron work. and the Chicago team will
miss him in Its battle next fall with
Michigan when the Wolverines will make
ball laurels.
Ecke-sall Is a good sprinter. He ia a
fine ali-around base ball player and win
captain the varsity nine. With Stacr
as coach and Eckersall on the team fhe
maroon fans are confident they will win
the base ball championship of the new Ric
-Four, comprising Chicago, Michigan. Min
nesota and Wisconsin, II not the intercol-
iegiatc championship OF the west.

DER BOSS PRESIDENT"
ORDERED A TWO-BAGGER

Baseball stories at the expense of Chris
Won der Abe, Der Boss President Of the
old St. Louis Browns, are always in order.
One of the oldest little comedies in which
Chris figured was one in which Tom Dowd
his then manager, was the chief con-
spirator Chris never did learn much about
base ball as it should be played, and the
players profited much through his ignor-
ance of the game. Dowd was out Of the
game for some reason and was sitting
with Chris in the stand. A critical stage
had arrived and Chris was anxious to win.
We'll pull 1t out If Clements can de-
liver two-bagger," remarked Dowd.
WELL" said Chris, testify, IVY den don't
you order him to do it?'
you'd better order him." said Tommy.
He'd obey you quicker than he would
me-"
So. as Clements came to bat, q small boy
handed him note from Chris, ordering
him to make a two-base hit. Clements
simply turned to the stand and nodded his
head as signal that he had received the
order and would obey. Then he whipped
away at the first pitched ball and cracked
double to right. For weeks after that 1t
was hard work to persuade Chris not to
issue orders to each batter as he went to
bat,

Conflicting Ball Games Number
II for Next Season.
MAJORITY IN THE WEST
Messrs. Johnson and Pulliam Cut
Total Down From Sixty.
MANY CHICAGO PLAYERS SIGNED
Exciting Races at New Orleans
Lasker's Mastery Shown in Chess
Big Wrestlers Matched.
MANY CHICAGO PLAYERS SIGNED

CLEVELAND, Ohio. January 30.-In the
National and American base ball leagues
there will be total Of twenty seven con-
ficting games this season, two more than
there were last year. This number, how
ever Is much less than shown on the sched-
ules submitted by Harry Pulliam, presi-
dent of the National League, and Ban
johnson, president of the American League,
when they began their conference here
Monday. Then the number was sixty.
Yesterday when they finished their session
this number had been decreased by thirty
three.
The work of the two presidents will be
submitted to the club owners at the sched-
uled meetings next month. Enough hints
were dropped to show that Chicago again
will be the real storm center. Last year
there were nine conflicting dates there be-
tween the two champion teams and the
coming summer will find about ten or
eleven games. In Boston and Philadelphia
the proportion Is about the same as In
1905 but Boston has been given the prefer
ence. St. Louis will have about the same
number of conflicting dates as before.
When the two presidents adjourned yes
terday morning at l o'clock they had been
able to cut the conflicting dates from sixty
down to about thirty-five. They did not
meet again until noon, when new sched-
ules were drafted and this number was
cut down to thirty games. On the final
draft, however. there were but twenty
seven games that conflicted. This salts
fed both Johnson and Pulliam and the con-
ference was ended.
The National League president left at 6
O'Clock for Pittsburg to see Barney Drey-
fuss. and from there he will go to New
York. Ban" Johnson left for Chicago.
In discussing the schedules Mr.. Johnson
said:
No one realizes the work involved in
drawing up a schedule and seeing that
neither league Is favored. That has been our
hardest and most tiresome task. For a
time 1t looked as though we would be able
TO get down below twenty-five games, but
II was impossible. We have twenty-seven
games conflicting, but 1 guess there will be
no complaints on this score. In the west
they are mostly Sunday games in st. Louis
and Chicago. / am glad the task is over.
] know that Mr.. Pulliam feels the same
way"

TOO EARLY FOR
BASES ON BALLS

Joe Cantillon, the present manager of the
Washington American League team. whose
career will be watched with interest by the
fans of Toledo, was umpiring the opening
game at st. Louis some years ago.
The Cardinals had the Pirates as oppo-
nents and were stacked against that great
southpaw Jesse Tannehill, now doing box
work for the Boston Americans. With the
score three to two, In favor Of Pittsburg.
in the last of the ninth inning, two men
out and three balls and two strikes on Pat
Donovan, then manager of the Cardinals,
Tannehill pitched what was called strike
by Cantillon, ending the game. AS Joe
was taking or his mask preparatory to
leaving the grounds Donovan turned and
said:
What did you call that a strike for? The
ball was a foot outside"
1T know It," replied Joe. "but then it's
too early In the season to be getting bases
on balls"
