JONES HANDS HOT
ONE TO JOHNSON

CHICAGO. September 12.-Fielder
Jones of the Chicago team is one
of the most matter-of fact men in
base ball, and he doesn't care much
what he says or to whom he says
if. Though Jones is worth consider
able money, he is the plainest dress
ed man In the game. and to see him
on the street in his civilian toSs
one would stop him for d rustic
storekeeper in town for the purpose
of buying supplies. Nevertheless.
Jones is there with the gray matter
and the knowledge of its uses.
But his independence and his
plain speaking are the traits which
cause his players TO regard him
with a certain sort of awe. Tor
Fielder Jones is anything but a re-
specter of persons.

son was drawing 10 close. Fielder

Gray is a heap of a pitcher and then

as mad as the dickens when We all tell
him to can that comedy and stake him

of a playing season in such perfectly
magnificent shape. and with such poten-

The serious minded. analytical type OF
base ball writer's over here are saying
now that If the Washington team stands
pat on its present lineup there's no rea-
son on earth why it shouldn't be away
up there next season. We used to be
used to hearing that stuff in Washington
in former years. but when it's said over
here by people that haven't the slightest
interest in the Washington club except
by way of considering them as factors in
the base ball doings of next year, why,
it's altogether a different matter, Morti-

In the event of America winning the

loves an Irish boy. called strikes for

the result that Ed made the Maps fade
away, while the Chicago bunch was trot-
ting down TO first base with such regu-
larity that even Napoleon ajoie the

against the cruel way he was, treating
Mr.. Rhoades.
Tim would have nothing to say to either
Dusty or his manager but continued TO
chew his gum and keep on the even
tenor of his way.
Walsh was delighted when he came to
The bench after the fifth inning. but ap-
peared very indignant about the way the
Maps were treating Mr.. Hurst why.

In the sixth inning the Clevelanders

down his glove in a perfect frenzy of
rage and said some awful things to Hurst.

just what was coming to big Walsh for
insulting the Ashland. Pa, man. Things

rapidity. He couldn't put one over the

Johnnie Evers' Inquiry.
One of the most guarded possessions
of a base ball player, outside of his glove
is his favorite bat. No man can use
that stick for any purpose. and It's an
oft-stated fact that stolen bat Will
bring the stealer no luck.
A favorite bat nowadays Is so rell-
giously guarded by it's owner there is
small chance of any one getting the
clutch hold on 1T, and usually no amount
of persuasion can bring about d player s
permission to even use his stick in prac-
tice.
A week or two ago Johnny Evers. the
candy kid of the Cubs. secured Stein
feldt's bat and started to the plate with
it. Steiny caught on to Evers' move and
loped after him. Johnny didn't want to
give the stick back just then, and as
they struggled for the possession of the
willow Steinfeldt cried out:
IF you don't give me back my stick,
Evers, I'll use violence"
And what's that" queried Johnny, as
he released his hold. "A new kind of
