The late Doc Powers, who was the
mai1nstay of the catching staff of the
Philadelphia Athletics until the Great
Umpire declared him out, always de-
lighted In telling of the first game he
ever caught with Tim Hurst umpir-
ing.
Powers was always full of pepper,
kept UP a continuous chatter during
the game.

comment on a ball that was perhaps
a foot wide of the plate.

his view of the next ball served by
Plank. despite the fact that 1t was up
around the batter's eye.
'Iust like picking cherries" was an
otlle way Of expressing his belief that
the ball conformed to all the regula-
tions of a strike.
Tim rather enjoyed the game shown
by the youngster and for about six
innings paid no attention to the chat
ter. Finally Tim calleda batter out
on a ball that was a tribe low. as he
afterward admitted, but which Powers
declared was a peach

Manager Bill Miller of the Greene
vile Baseball club put the finishing
touches to his team Monday by sign
ing d. J. Mcintyre, better known to
the fans as Slim" to play first base
and captain the team.
Mcintyre has just returned from
New York, where he has been employ
ed all winter, and looks as though he
could jump right in and play the best
game of his life right now, and that is
going some, as Slim is regarded as
one of the best first sackers in this
part of the state. In securing him,
Manager Miller thinks he has put one
over on the other managers of the
league.
A number of other surprises will
be sprung before the season opens, and
Greeneville will have several new faces
to bolster up the weak spots and help
out the stars of hast season.
Among the veterans of last years
team that will be back are Harrington.
Gallivan, Sheehan, Savage, Jupes and
Denie Mcintyre, McClafferty and Glea-
son.

signed that will be announced later,

WHEN JIM JEFFRIES
WENT AGAINST LA SAvAT.
Beat French Champion, After Getting
Kick in the Mouth.

Few of Jim Jeffries' admirers know
that he is the retired la savaf cham
p1on of France. They revere him for
his great wallop and consider his rec
ord as an an alfalfa merchant and his
title of heavyweight boxer of the world
sufficient honors for one so young. But
there must be added to these the title
of retired savat champion of France,
according to a story told by John S.
Barnes, old-time foot racer, former
sprint champion and patron and pro-
noter of sports, who now is manager
Of Henri st. Yves and who managed
Jeff on his first invasion of Europe.
According to Barnes, JEFF got so hun
CRY for a fight in Paree, which was just
then in the .throes Of a fighter famine,
that he tangled I'D with NJ. LaRoux, la
savat champion, at the Royal Aquari-
UNI.
La savat is a nice game, the only one
in fact in which the prime object is to
kick your opponent in the face You
to scramble the other fellow. LaRoux
had as fine kick as any man in the
world, with the possible exception of
Ted Coy. JEFF did not know just what
to expect and was q bit surprised when
when the Frenchman tried to kick a
goal with him and swiped him on the
jaw with his heel. JEFF didn't do any
kicking, except with his hands, and he
left fist, and Ia savat has been in dis
repute ever since.
The story of this crap. which &C.
CURED soon after Jeff's first fight with
Fitzsimmons, is told by Barnes, who
was then the representative of the
Coney Island Athletic club. as fol-
lows: THE tickets sold at S25 each
and we TUNED hundreds away. The
gong brought the men together in the
first round, with jeff chewing gum,
grinning and with his familiar crouch
LaRoux pranced around like a dane
ing master and suddenly cut loose like
Missouri mule with a burr under his
tail and kicked JEFF smack on the jaw
with his right foot. JEFF bit little
deep into his gum and shook his shay
gy head. He left exactly the same
opening and the Frenchman let fly
again with his right foot. But this
time Jeff parted the kick with one
hand and then sunk his left first into
the F'renchman's stomach about a foot
