FOR WIFE MADE JIMMIE
SEBRING AN OUTLAW PLAYER

again tread the pastures in organized

doesn't pay a man to quit organized
ball to join a league that is, fighting the
big fellows.
1 have it here that as soon as the
bars went up against the blacklisted
players Sebring was one of the first 10

1t present Sebring could be sold to mn
big league club at from $4,000 to $4,000
Only Monday Stallings told me that If
it were possible to get Sebring into or
ganized baseball he would put up $4,000
as a first bid for his services. Now,
while these sums would be paid for
Sebring, just think of how little it takes
to get hin from one club to another IN
the Tri-State circuit!
When you think it over it looks as
though they have handed it pretty
severe to Sebring. He made his mis-
take. Who of us don't? But remember
that back of that mistake was a power
that is greater for good than anything
else in the world. 1t is that silly, senti-
mental word called love. owe for his
sick wife made Sebring a baseball out
law. Gratitude to those who helped
him nurse her to health and strength
made him attack organized baseball.
1t was love for his wife that put him
where he is today. In his remorse over
the fact that he antagonized his old
friends in the big league, comes the joy
of knowing that his greatest pleasure
in life, the one aim bigger than all else,
to nurse his wife back to health, has
been accomplished. 1t is his pleasure.
Today 1 met that charming little lady.
She has been the wife of Sebring pretty
close to ten years. 1 was interested in
the woman who could hold such a
strong owe in a man as did Mrs. S.
Only in stage doings do you get an idea
what that real, true love game is.
Sebring plays it better han he does
baseball and is even now sincere.

after all, how they are retired, just Sd
they are.
There is but little doubt that LaJoie
would be a greater ball player If he
didn't have the troubles of manager
and captain to fall ON his shoulders.
There is a lot of woe connected with
both jobs, and Larry has to share the
double woe of being responsible for the
loss of every game as well as looking
after the second sack in faultless fash
ion. Wagner has never had the troubles
of the manager and captain, Fred
Clarke ~shouldering the duties on tho
Pittsburg team.
Wagner was surely the big card on
the National League circuit. h Pr
rates will miss his services on h field
and feel the effects in the box office,
On the road Wagner always attracted
a lot of people to the game who per-
haps won't go. now that he is no longer
a member of the Pirates.

WILMINGTON, Del, April THAT
very steady pitcher Jupe Pluv started
in to work late last night, but this
morning the old reliable Sol handed out
the quietus. 1t gave the Newark Tigers
another chance to get in a couple Of
hours practise this morning.
Manager S%tallings TOOK a hand in this
mornings work. He donned a sweater
and got right into the play. Previous
to the mornings practise, which was
the most strenuous of any since we hit
this camp, Manager Stallings had a
conference with the makers of the
team. Signal plays were gone through
and he told the players just what he
expected.

fact hat the National League stan IS

Cans Challenged.
Before the champion got away from
the ring last night the "Flying Dutch
man." Rudolph Unholz, challenged him.
What do you think of that for a name
of a fighter? Well, Unholz is the Boer
who gave Battling Nelson sue a set
back before any one knew that Unholz
had any claims to the fighting class.
He hasn't fought any one since then.
and the bundle of money he received
has already had its effects or the fell
low. Not in the d~issipatlng line. No,
that is not in Unholz's makeup. But
he has such an eagerness now to get
another bundle of greenbacks that he
will fight no one until he meets Cans.
The latter paid no attention to the Boer
last night, and Rudolph must be I'M
happy.
Our Young Americans.
4 That gathering at the armory last
night certainly showed me that the
American youth is eager to excel in
everything he undertakes, when a little
glory is at stake. Proud as peaeocks
in their new feathers, the school boys
who were listed to take part in the
Junior contests strutted about the track
dressed in their sweaters and running
trunks, n they looked to be admired,
and they were. There mas and Their
dads looked down upon them with that
look of affection which a c~onquering
hero gets after his home coming. OF
course these glances took place before

who lost their race looked later. But

SILK City Contingent.
1t must be said that the crowd of
%sprinters from Paterson last night at
the Armory games did not have any
anarchistic look as far as could be no
ticed. There was Tom Kelley, the coal
merchant; Harry Gourley, the base
ball umpire: Jimmie Ryan. the
Splinter; Joe Bromilow, the champion;
Sim %Standeven, city clerk: Charley

What Cans Received.
Cans received nothing in the way OF
a beating. But when you talk finan-
cially of what he got, then that is a
different matter BY the simple means
of addition. subtraction and multiple
cation you will find that for every min
ute Joe was in the ring last night ne

squared circle and in less than ten
minutes he had slowed away for him

Uncle Sam and all his subjects will

did not make this himself alone. Oh.
