The crowd below is breathless. but as

That Is the heartening thing that
all humanity needs-appreciation and

Bob Gilks, big league scout, tells
the story of how he helped discover
Addie Joss. But Bob don't tell all
the story.
About 10 years ago." says Gilks,
II was running the Toledo team in
the Interstate league for Charlie
Strobel. Prof. Lewis, the finger
billiardist and baseball statistician,
came to me and said: "Gilks, I've
found a pitcher who is a wonder
He's playing college and semi-pro
ball in the wilds of Wisconsin. and
If you get him and he makes good
all I want is $25. His name Is
Joss
II went after Joss and signed
him. When he showed up at Toledo
he looked like an animated bean
pole. He seemed about six and a
half feet tall and weighed more
than rs pounds, but not much more.
Joss was weakling then. He
would go into a game and pitch
every kind of curve and bender
for three innings. Then he'd get
tired and I'd have to take him out.
He complained of pains and took
him to a doctor, who decided Addie
had growing pains.
"Joss went along this way all
year, and next season he showed up
sick again. The doctor gave him
some pills and cured him. and Ad-
die grew strong. He filled out and
began to pitch like whirlwind.
Joss did so we'll the second year
Eknew some big league club would
grab him. so told Strobel, and he
decided to 60 to Adde'S home, in
vite him to spend few weeks In
Toledo and keep him under cover
so no one would find him.
This was just before Easter and
Addie didn't want to leave home
until after that day. He persuaded
Strobel to return to Toledo, prom
Using to follow later. And couple
OF days afterwards Bill Armour
slipped into Juneau with Charlie
Somers' bank roll and signed
Joss"
This Is the story told by Bob
Gilks. ex-big league pitcher, minor
league manager and now a scout.
He doesn't include the fact. how
ever. that Strobel never paid Lewis
that SIS for turning up Addie Joss.
although he admits II was with the
understanding that he receive this
much that Lewis tipped off the
whereabouts of the present Ameri-
can league star.
