DALLAS. Tex. April I'm coming
direct TO this city, instead OF stopping
off at Austin 10 play another game
with Texas state University. Hughie
Jennings sacrificed great principle.
Hughe was trimmed at Austin on
a prior trip. by a Negro hackman, and
II was an open secret on the club
that the return to Austin was not so
much for the purpose of pleasing
Hughes fraternity brothers there as
for getting even with the hackman
Discriminating from the train ut Aus
tin, Jennings hired bus and car
riage 10 take tho players TO the hotel.
He also purchased something like 20
baggage checks. good for the transpor-
tation of that many suitcases from
the depot to the Driskill hotel and
return. Each check cost him 25 cents.
Bunco No. was divulged when,
after piling into the vehicles and get
ting settled, the Tigers rode round
the corner and stopped In front of the
hotel.
Bunco No. 2 arrived when Hughie
made up his mind not to wait for the
night train out for San Antonio but
time he had made up his mind the
baggage wagon had gone.
Everybody toted his hand-luggage
to the station. Hughie kept the re-
turn checks and long cherished the
fond hope of getting even but the
Dallas opportunity offered so much
more In the line of financial return
that he had to pass Austin up.

DALLAS. Tex, April 2.-The Orien-
tai hotel, where the Tigers are stop
ping. is the place where Johnny Co
cash. Of Detroit, had his fight with
Herzog, the manager of the Giants
second team, and the hotel people are
still talking about Cocashs hard
punch. Everyone upholds the Detroit
err.
II seems that Herzog was inside
when a car that the team was to take
hove in sight. Cocash was asked to
go inside and tell Herzog that there
was danger of missing the car. He
did so and the manager pro tenn be-
came angry.
That's no way for a raw recruit to
talk to me. I'm manager" he is al
legged To have said. There is likely
to be something started"
Herzog was correct. Cocash nit him
only once. but the other Giant spit
out three teeth and lost his combat
iveness at once.
II will not be lonesome for Cocash
at Little Rock. to which team he has
been farmed. partly in consequence of
the encounter. for Heinie Steiger, his
Detroit chum, is pitching for that
nine.

Speer didn't relish this very well,
but stood for It, What did hurt his
feelings, however. was the fact that.
when he informed his teammates OF
the dispatch, they exchanged knowing
looks and asked when he first began
to be homesick.

hoary one. A ball player can write

dispatch he wants sent and can then
sit down complacently to await It's
arrival When II comes. however.
