IN the balance you can see easily
how Cobb would worry and how MS
affection might be aggravated, NOT
only In his own mind but In the
minds Of the fans.
There undoubtedly was something
the matter with his right eye. HIS
vision probably was dimmed anu
every time his stomach was upset, the
chances are the eyesight was affected.
However. there never was any great
danger OF his going blind or even OF
being made useless as ball player.

HANDS BECK
A RAW DEAL

Somebody has done Catcher Beck
endorf grave injustice. The former
Tiger was laid off by McAleer and a
story published TO the effect that
Washington didn't like him because
he did not keep in condition. The
canard was given wide publicity.
Pres. Frank Navin asked Jim Nc
Aleer about Beck as soon as they
were seated at Bennett Park yester-
day afternoon. "Beckendorf went
home because | wanted TO use Ain
smith and Henry" McAleer said.
"Beckendorf caught mighty good ball
for us and | am very -sorry that a
false report was circulated about him
He saved two or three games for us
by his headwork and think he is q
first-class man.
''Ycu can know Just what think
OF him when tell you that | am send
ing him his check the first and If
teenth OF each month. although he Is
doing nothing to earn It. He would
be working his turn regularly, but for
the fact that I want TO see what the
young fellows can do.
"Beckendorf Is being done a grave
injury by the newspapers, which said
he laid down for my club. He did
nothing OF the sort. but gave us the
best he had all the time. and you can
take II from me that he is a first'class
catcher"

JOHN HENRY
is VALUABLE

Two months ago James McAleer.
washington manager, had one catch
er, Gabby Street, who was shot full of
holes and rheumatism. McAleer very
promptly shouted for help and Pres.
Frank Navin needed his call.
Today McAleer has three fine back
stops, any one of which he could
trade or sell for valuable players or
coin. Gabby Street is an artist be-
hind the bait Bob Lowe almost shed
tears when he heard Ainsmith had
gone to Washington, while John Hen
~, collegian, looks like one of the big
gest finds of the year.
Last time the Nationals were here
John Henry performed at first base,
q new Job for him. He acted we'll and
hit some. McAleer was pleased. Then
there came a chance for him behind
the bat where he Is at home and John
Henry outdid anything even remotely
expected OF him.
He Is a husky chap, well-endowed
with brains and is quick as cat. The
way he throws to bases is astounding
and he Ia holding up the pitcher all
the time. McAleer is tickled 10 death,
az the catching department worried
him a lot. Street used to work nearly
all the games, but now he can rest

JUMPS BAD

Fans at Bennett Park Sunday let
several roars escape at the way Um-
pire Colliflower called strikes. From
the disadvantageous position Of the
press box II did look as though Colly
was of on balls and strikes. One
man sat In the press stand and said
nothing. He was George Pulford. N
z. A. correspondent, whose entertain
ing articles from San Francisco and
Reno on the Jeffries-Johnson fight Of
ten appeared in The Times under the
name Tip Wright.
III they had umpiring in the Ameri-
can league like that in the National
they would burn the grandstand."
Pulford said. He has just completed
a trip through the older league. why
they call plays there that American
league arbitrators would see the other
way with one eye shut. I honestly
believe the poorest official in the
American Is better than the best in
the National"
All OF which will be pleasing to
Ban Johnson, who prides himself on
his umpiring staff and his handshake.

David J. Brewer, associate justice

States, died Monday night, aged 72
years. Justice Brewer was stricken
with apoplexy and died before a
physician could be summoned. His
death was unexpected, although he
had not been feeling we'll for several
days. He appeared to be in good
health and spirits all day, and even
after eating his dinner. Shortly be-
fore 10 o'clock he retired to his room,
and within a few minutes Mrs. Brewer
heard heavy fall. Going into the
room she found her husband on the
floor unconscious. He did not regain
consciousness and died before a ply,
stefan hastily summoned could arrive
Justice Brewer came from Kansa:
to the supreme bench, from the feder.
al court. He was the second oldest
member of the court, and was consid
cred as the most democratic of all tn,
members of the court.
Justice Brewer was appointed tt

min Harrison, to succeed Justice Stan
ley Matthews, taking his seat Januar,
6, 1890.
