WHEN B. UNGLAUb
MADE OUT PASSES

The rise of ball players to positions
OF prominence in the game has often
|eome about under peculiar conditions,
but no exponent of the national pas
time was ever elevated. to the. man.
agerial job In as unique manner as
Bob Unglaub of the Washington team,
former manager Of the Boston Ameri.
cans.
After the passing of Jimmy Collins
al the leader of the Boston Ameri-
cans, the position was handed around
promiscuously by owner John I. Tay.
lor, and Unglaub was one of the men
who held the title OF leader for very
short session.
For q time Mr. Taylor assumed the
managgUGnt Of the club and 1t was
during ~ reign that the crown was
passed 70 Unglaub. During that time
Secretary 1fcBren OF the Boston club
was ON . sc0uting trip and when the
players wanted any passes for their
apply to owner Taylor to have the fav-
|Ors granted.
While Taylor has always been GER
esous to O degree with his men, still
u ~ - the ONCE for passs meant
| n conference with the owner about
this and that thing, as well as mum
|ber of questions that the players
didn't care to answer. The club at
the time was going very badly, and
owner Taylor was In anything but q
happy frame of mind.
After a mornings practice one day
several Of the players remarked they
desired passes for the afternoons
game but rather than face Owner
Taylor they would put up the money.
Unglaub, however, insisted that he
wanted three passes and he intended
to get them. Finishing dressing before
the other players he hiked to the Of
fee near by. The players told him
they were anxious to learn what Tay-
lor thought of the awful trimming
they received the day before.
Unslaub was all smiles when he re-
turned to the dressing room and the
players were at loss to account for
It. In response to a shower OF ques-
lions from his teammates he simply
answered.
Boys. after this when you want any
passes 1t won't be necessary to see
Mr.. Taylor. just come to me"
what do you rnean?" asked every
one In a chorus.
"I mean that from now on my sigma
ture goes at the bottom OF all passes.
am your new manager"
CONGRATULATIONS we're next In order
and after the boys all pumphandied
Unglaub, they kept him busy for a
half hour writing out passes for the
afternoons game. Bob tells the story
this way:
81 asked him for the passes, he gave
them to me and asked me how would
like to write my own passes. told
him that would be fine. then he in
formed me that I was manager Thus
was elevated to the position OF honor

Mr. Weadock said. THE process Of
gathering these companies into one
Organization has required much time,

without the fear of the law in his
heart and against the peace and dig
nifty of tie state assumed the au-
thority of Spending $50 of the pub

May q Business Month.

(From Wheeling Intelligcncer.
The New York Journal of Com
merce's review in the iron and steel
trade for the month of May indicates
a complete return to normal indus
trial conditions. Orders in the wire
trade for the month reached figure
that eclipses all past records, while
the orders for fabricated shapes
were the heaviest of all months but
one in history.
In New England alone the plans
for mill improvements call for 1884,
100000 worth structural materi-
al. The total contracts for fabricat-
ed steel placed in May was close to
225, 900 tons, distributed pretty well
over the entire country. In the wire
trade the American Steel and Wire
company beat all previous records
by booking orders for 10000 tons.
During the last two weeks, accord
ing to the Journal, the orders have
averaged 10000 tons per day or a
total Of 10000 tons since the adj
vance Of 81 per ton in prices.
The good effects Of this trade re-
yival are felt locally In the resump-
ton Of the Carnegie plant at Bel
laire and the Riverside tube works
at Benwood. By the first OF July,
when the tariff bill will be out OF
the way, the business depression will
be but a memory.
