George Moreland, the Pittsburg base
ball statistician who is In the south
with the Pirates, ran afoul the. Tigers
recently and asked someone TO point
out Dayy Jones. He was duly repre-
scented.
"Mr. jones' said the whlte-haired,
veteran scribe, Il want TO shake the
bend of the man who gave me the
biggest and most lasting thrill | ever

call the day you and Harry Smith

''Do I feclIl It? Well, didn't Il lay
me on the shelf and put me for a year
In a minor league?" replied Davy.

We've seen some narrowing sights

the little group that had gathered
round, as he and Davy were talking.
II suppose more men have been seri-
ously crippled in Pittsburg than in
any other big league city. There
seems some sort OF fatality about II.
But none OF them before OF since have
ever gone into their mixup with the
spectacular features Jones put into
his.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, March
25--The players OF the Detroit
club are sorry 10 leave Hot
Springs and the Park hotel In
particular, for many reasons,
but chief OF all. because. at jim
Hayes winter resort, dinner ~
served at 9 o'clock--the conven-
tional hour, II not the time 10
which they have become accusN
toned In their earlier years.
A hotel serving a noon dinner
IS an abomination in the sight
or an athlete in training.
The noon meai Is always the
light one OF the day and Is quite
often eliminated altogether by
the athletes. most or whom are
reducing in weight as much a.
possible. The large meal or
the day is naturally taken az
night and all too frequently, rs
AT Augusta. the itinerants are
forced to put III with supper at
this hour.
Just what arrangements the
hotels make along the line In
this respect, cannot be TOLD,
though the south is coming to
recognize the conventional hout
for the large repast to an In
creasing degree OF uniformity.

result he was somewhat sore and
voiced his enmity as ball players do.
Reds pet delusion was that he knew
LaJoie's weakness. What IL was, he
failed to tell the other Tiger pitchers
who were skeptical from long expert
ence. Donahue also insisted that Lar
ry could not hit in the pinches.
All hands lay low and waited.
One eventful day Red took the flr.

They started in at a terrific clip and
had the sacks populated and two out
when Larry came to Dat. Several IT,

Well. TO make a long story short.
Napoleon hit the left field fence three

proverbial with Donahue's teammates
