Everybody was glad when 1t was
found that RUDE Waddells arm was
not broken as at first reported, and
that the St. Louis star has not seen
his last day on the diamond. There
Is no pitcher the fans would rather
see in action than the RUbe when he
Is right. And when he is going at his
best there is no twirler the other
teams fear more.
Waddell has undergone wonderful
change since the season opened this
year, and can no longer be regarded
as the most fighty and widely adver-
tised freak in the game.
Rube Is still full of fun. One OF
the Browns was reading story the
other day about how Bugs Raymond,
the New York Giants eccentric pitch
er, had kicked over the traces be-
cause McGraw had appointed keep
or for him. Rube listened attentively.
TITS a shame that fellow doesn't
take care of himself" said RUDE feel
ingly, just as thousands used to make
the remark about the only RUDE. HE
would be a wonder If he would just
keep in condition and pay strict at
tentlon to business"
Probably the only baseball manager
In the world who is literally blind
not as those who having eyes see not,
but absolutely sightless-ls Bert Tay-
lor, manager of the Jackson Stars OF
Jackson, Mich. This blind manager
handles his team from the bench. His
men swear by him and do better work
before his sightless eyes than when
working under the supervision OF
man who can watch the plays. But
on the bench with his men and knows
just what plays are made. He knows
at all times the record of balls and
strikes on the batter and never fails
to recognize a foul. With almost I'M
canny intuition he can tell, possibly
from the sound of the ball against the
bat, the field to which the ball has
been batted. He argues point with
the umpire just as earnestly as though
he had seen the entire play, and his
howl of protest aaginst a decision Is
just as vigorous as any fan could de-
sire. His team won the City league
pennant in 1908 and this year has won
20 games out of total Of rs.
Fred Tenney has been taking mat
tiers easily at Boston and says that
he is in no hurry to work again, al.
though If the right thing came along
he would not hesitate second. II
do not feel as If my major league days
are over" he says. II feel as good as
ever did in my life, and l was never
more surprised in my life than when
was handed my congo by Mr.. Nc
Graw. I have received several offers
to get back in the game and some of
them appeal to me decidedly, but I
prefer to stay in major league COM
pany while yet and am confident l
could help more than one club for a
few seasons. Had McGraw let me go
at the outset, there Is no question at
all that I could have made a most
desirable connection. However, am
not worrying. I feel sure that had
President Brush been in first-class
health and on the scene, would not

Bonesetter John D. Reese of
Youngstown, o., famed the world over
as ''fixer" Of ball players, has rendered
his last service to diamond athletes,
according to his own announcement.
He does not give any reason, but it is
believed that his poor health Of the
past several months compelled him to
| make this decision. Tommy Leach of
the Pirates, who was recently injured.
was notified that the bonesetter could
not render him the service required,
as was also Tim Jordan, the former
Brooklyn first baseman, now with
| Toronto.
