IRIS SPEAKERS HISTORY.
Boston Star WIS Much Wanted While
In Minor Leagues.

iris Speaker, the star of the Bos-
ton Red Sox, is down and out right
now with a severe attack of tonsilitis.
lie is a very sick athlete.
Speaker ISIS missed right now and
the Boston club will be lamcntably
weak until he Is ready 60 play again,
which may be some time.
Speaking of Speaker, 1t Is pretty
tough TO have q ball player on your
staff and receive offers of $1,000 from
Cincinnati and Brooklyn and have
Barney Dreyfuss of Pittsburg come
across with bid of $1,000 in excess
of any price yet offered, and be forced
to turn them all down.
When honor enters i'm the game
however. it is very different matter.
Mickey Finn, former manager of the
Little Rock, Ark. baseball team, had
the wonderful Iris Speaker, Boston
outflelder on his staff in 1908. WHATS
more, Speaker was under contract 10
Little Rock. although he had been the
property of Boston.
II seems that the Boston club dld
not tender a contract to- Speaker PRIOR
TO March 1, but nstead-o ordered him td
report to Little Rock. Speaker was
therefore a free agent but he cid not
know IT,. Had he been wise to the
done he might have disposed of him
self at a good figure.
Speaker signed q Little Rock con
tract and Finn was offered lapuiou'
sums for him near the close OF th'
season. Mickey, however, turned theh
all down. He played fair with John !
TAYLOR and turned Speaker over t'
him without single penny in ex'
| change.

AT left, Pitcher Russell Ford, New

Cole, Chicago Nationals.

TO date there are just two pitching
recruits who have created sensations
in the major leagues this season. III
Cole has done the burning up stunt In
the National league. while American
league writer's give the great share Of
their praise to Russell Ford. Cole has
won seven games for the Cubs and is
stil To be beaten. Ford won seven
games i'm a row for the New York
Americans and was an unbeaten pitch
or until he struck Detroit on June 10.
Then in a inning battle he sue
cumbed To George Mullin. although er-
rors caused him To give the Tig rs q
chance to get the runs that made them
winners.
Cole was drafted from Bay City oi
tine Southern Michigan league by chi
cago last fall lie has great speed
good control and n good curve bait
Ford is a spitball artist. He relies
mostly on the splitter for his effective
ness and there hasn't been a day TINS
season that he was not been there win
the goods. He was secured from NJ
lanta Of the Southern league.
Followers of the two big leagues are
watching this pair of likely recruits
very closely these days. Either OF
both may show up the veteran Fingers
before the last day of the season comes
