New York, Jan. 29-When the an
nouncement was made that Jack Ches-
bro had been turned back TO the Yam
KEGS. and which meant that Happy
John was about through with baseball
few stories went bounding around the
circuit that ChesbrO would be playing
baseball some place, as ne didn't have a
dollar invested In any business. The
stories said that Jack was not alone down
and out as a baseball pitcher, but that he
was in the same condition financially.
But these tales have been hit an awful
wallop by a personal friend In Conway,
y. II. Arnold bats out the following story
about ChesbrO, and It is said there is no
one around the barn any closer to John
than Arnold.
Don't worry about John" says Arnold.
Arthur Long is the big farmers part
ner in the good lumber business at Con-
way, and Chesbro has over S25.O00 himself
invested and his partner about an equal
amount. so the friends of the ball PLAYER
can see that John can go along for many
years getting his pancakes and resting
smoothly in the big rocker
They have cut in the last two years
something over 100000 feet of timber.
and Il was only a week or two ago that
they sold TO one party over 100000 feet
Of oak. Chesbro laughed the way he did
OF the ball field many a time when he
heard about him being broke. and did
the old barn dance. and seemed TO be
well pleased that he had put a big pile
away for the sloppy weather"

Walter Flannery, of Pittsburg, Pa,

yesterday. Flannery comes with quite
reputation as q football player, having
played tackle on the Mount ST. Mary's
team before coming 10 Georgetown.
Skip Wymart the football star Of last

for Flannery, as he used to play with the
newcomer two seasons ago, when he
learned his first lessons on the gridiron.
He resembles Wymart very much in

weighing $50 pounds. and 1t was through
the instrumentality Of Skip that Flannery
came TO Georgetown. lie will enter the
college as a sophomore, and will no doubt

who has arrived here from PIttsburg.
where he attended the annual meeting Of
the joint rules committee. Of which he is
a member. said to-day that lie believes
the newly adopted rules will have a ten
dency 10 better the game In speaking
about the changes Mr.. Heydler said:
THE committee could not have adopted
a better rule than the umpire reforms as
devised 10y President Lynch, which deal
with rowdyism from the bench. The rules
which empower umpires 10 fine and eject
substitutes who kick from the benches
will indeed iii a Iong-felt want. The fine
Of so is also a good one, as it will pre-
vent substitutes from kicking purpOsely
to be put off the bench This penalty
VIII hold in check such men. for it will
be too costly TO voice objections
Secretary HeydIer also said that he
thought the rule which deals with the
placing OF coaches further away from
first and third base was another needed
reform. According 10 the new rule, in
the future the coaches will have to stand
further away from the bags. This will
prevent players on the field from being
subjected 20 personal abuse. The reason
why the rules committee rescinded its ac-
ton regarding the wild pitch" and
passed ball" rule was TO facilitate the
reckoning of fielding averages. The chief
intention not to count the wild pitch"
and passed BALI as errors was for the
reason that both the pitcher and the
catcher handle the ball more times dur
ing a game than do any of the other
players.

COLLINS IS GAME LOSER.
Doesn't Blame Umpire when Club
Drops Tyyenty-onc Games.

I
Drops Twenty-onc Games.
Perhaps no man regretted the passing
Of Jimmy Collins from the ranks of the
American League more than President
Ban Johnson. The failure Of Collins to
deliver the goods I'm his final DAYS as
manager a the Boston team was a keen
disappointment TO the American League
leader. Johnson always admired Collins
because he was an exponent OF clean bail
and against umpire batting. President
Johnson always likes TO relate a little in
cident that happened in his Office which
proved how much Of the real man was in
Collins.
Three or four years ago the Boston
team took an awful slump. losing some
thing like twenty straight games. The
average manager would have almost
done any old thing under the existing
conditions, but Collins stood his ground
bravely, never let out a veil for heln. and
not once uttered a complaint against an
umpire, although the average manager
would have seized the opportunity to
blame the slump OF his club on the poor
work OF the umpires.
shortly after the disastrous run OF bad
luck the Boston club arrived in Chicago
for a series q games, and as is the Gus
tom Of the American League managers,
Collins paid Mr.. Johnson a visit.
well, how did my umpires treat YOU
while you We're losing all those games?"
was Mr.. Johnson's opening question.
IF we had done our work as wen as
the umpires we never would have lost SO
many games" was Collins immediate re-
ply.
II was characteristics Of the man.
