Little Stories
About Baseball
A Mixed Allegiance
By w. A. Phelon

Some few years ago" says George
McQuilan Il had just finished up the
season. and was wondering how l would
employ the winter, when l received a
cablegram from Cuba. 1t came from q
hustling American baseball promoter
who had gone down there for the off
season. and 1t urged me to come down
right away-said the island was full Of
money. / wired back that | ycarned TO
see the price OF transportation. and the
ticket came promptly. / was TO report
TO the Havana team and the salary
named was very tempting,
what surprised that no one met me at
the dock. 1t seems that the Havana
baseball folks and my American friend
got the name OF the steamer wrong and
Spanish. ard falling TO encounter any
Americans, l finally put in the day jus,
strollng around and looking ut the city,
Whom evening came on j managed to
find hotel accommodations. and next
morning bright and early I set out seek
ing for my ball club.
Ere long / encountered a ball nine,
mostly black. all In uniform, and riding
on dnapidated conveyance that looked
like n cross between hearse and bus.
hurried TO intercept them, and by signs
and baseball talk-which players under
stand the world over-managed to make
them comprehend that l was an Ameri-
can pitcher Of some little reputation, lost
in a strange land and unable TO find the
folks | was looking for.
"One of the black players spoke up
and explained that he was a Chicago
negro who had caught on with the Cuban
club and liked his job. He interpreted
for me. and when they knew that was
McQullan they seemed ovcrjoyed. They
keep we'll posted on the American base
ball news down there and know the rec
ord of every player In the National and
American Leagues. And then they made
overtures TO me. l was broke, / could
not find the people who had sent for me.
and so II happened that l became pitch
er for the Matanzas club instead OF for
Havana.
"The Matanzas club went on a tour OF
the island and l played six games with
them; having great time and being
royalty treated. In due course Of time
they returned to Havana and met the
Havana club at the local arena, with an
immense crowd In stand and bleachers
When stepped upon the slab there was
buZzing and Il humming among the
Havana players. and presently their
manager came trottiug out 10 me,
Res ect not the Scnor McQuillan?'
said he.
I'm him / responded.
