WHAT THEY DO IN WINTER

Christy Mathewson, the premier twirler of the Giants, has recently
 branched out in the insurance busi-
 ness: John J. McGraw, manager of
 the New York league club. runs a
 billiard parlor: Johnny King. the
 Cubs catcher. is also an enthusiast
 of the cue and ivory balls, and con-
 trols several parlors. Roger Bresna.
 han is detective in Toledo. Pitcher Joe McGinnity has an iron foundry in Indian Territory, and when he isn't playing ball he devotes his time
 to managing his business. Luther
 Taylor, also slab artist on the pay roll of John T. Brush, runs a general store in his home town and he is by far the most popular citizen of his place. Stony McGlyn, St Louis Cardinal pitcher, spends his idle moments" as an officer of the peace in York, Pa. Addie Joss, Cleveland pitcher, is sporting writer, Harry White, a White Sox twirler, studied dentistry at Georgetown university. and when he isn't pulling teams out of hole he's extracting teeth. He is not alone in this, for Mike Powers, the Philadelphia Athletics catcher, is also dentist. Fred Clarke, man. ager of the Pittsburg Pirates, owns a ranch in Kansas. Clarke Griffith, one time manager of the Highlanders, also has ranch, in Montana. But of all the occupations in which the ball players engage, the oldest is that of Roy Thomas, the Buccaneers center fielder. While travelling around the circuit. and in winter as we'll, he solicites orders for a whole sale undertaking establishment. Hon. us Wagner. admittedly the greatest batter of the age, owns a farm and passes much of his time thereon and makes 1t pay well, too. Hogan Yan- cey Is an instructor in the Univerzity of Kentucky at Lexington.
