said. facetiously that he believed II
would pay the democratic party and
the country II the president Travelled
the year round" He then referred d.
rectly to the presidents Western trip.
The pro rata cost OF each person
was figured out and every newspaper
man was required to produce $500 to
pay for his expenses. Out OF the fund
for the suppression of counterfeiting
and the protection of the president of
the United States" Mr.. Fitzgerald
said, "4500 was taken to defray the
expenses upon the train of three EN-
ployes of the secret service against
the protest OF the acting chief of the
secret service"
Former Speaker Cannon. Represent
ative Gillett of Massachusetts and
Representative Shirley of Kentucky
(democrat) argued that it was neces-
sary that the president see the coun-
try and the country see the president

lima (democrat), Who offered the
amendment striking out the appropria-
tion, declared the money was being
voted in order to enable gatherings

will always be open. For instance,
there was the case of his thirteenth
win. Marquard went out OF the game
with his team behind, but before an
other pitcher went in his mates batted
out a victory. Secretary Heydler Of
the National League ruled that the vic
tory went to Marquard because he had
pitched most of the game. The fif-
teenth game presented another situa-
tion. Marquard went in in the eighth
inning with the score a tie; his team
won in the tenth. He also got credit
for that.
Whatever may be the arguments,
there is no question that Richard de
Marquis is one of the greatest twir-
lers of modern times and the fact that
he is a left-hander makes his work
all the more remarkable, for left
handlers have never been noted for
consistency.

TED EASTERLY NO DUDE
Not Particularly Strong on Sar-
toriaI embellishments.
When Cleveland Backstop Reported to
Los Angeles Club fIe Was
Dressed in Peaceful Valley
Dicer and CeIIuioid Collar.

When Ted Easterly, who Is playing
remarkably clever game for the
Cleveland club this season, pried his
member of the Los Angeles team, he
was not particularly strong on sar-
torial embellishments.
While indirectly from the tall and
uncut" Ted was a human dynamo
when 1t came to getting the tnforma-
ton and was wise" to almost every
thing except duds. says the Sporting
News. But put him up against the
purple and fine linen game and his
combined batting and fielding average
would have been about .001 at the
most.
When Easterly reported for the first
trip north with the Seraphs he was
harnessed up in a Peaceful Valley
dicer and celluloid collar. True,
there were other articles Of wearing
apparel clinging to his person, but it
was the haberdashery stuff that gave
him the real sparkle.
This collar was the type that is
built to an extreme height of five-siX-
teenths of an inch, is invariably from
four to five sizes too large for the
wearer and shines with luster all
its own. Ted is believed to have ac-
cumulated 1t in Downey, Cal, which
was the scene of his amateur activi-
ties. Celluloid collars were consid-
cred quite recherche in Downey at
that time. Comparatively few of
them, however, survive at the present

PITCHERS NAME HELD BACK
Connie Mack, Manager of Champion
Athletics, Never Gives Informa-
tlon on His TWlrlers.

Connie Mack, manager Of the worlds
hampions--and a mighty wise man.
ager he is TOBIAS one idiosycrasy
that is shared by few leaders in ma
for or minor leagues. He never will
let anybody know who is going to
pitch for him until few minutes be-
fore the game starts. Almost every
other boss will give an idea the day
before who may be expected to work,
possibly naming couple OF men and
selecting whichever warns up best.
The Athletics guiding hand, how
ever, positively declines to give out
any information on this subject. He
Is polite and nice about 1t always, but
he yields not the slightest clue. The
reason given by Mr. Mack for this ST.
lence in regard to hurlers is that he
himself never knows who Is going to
be on the slab. He has men whose
turns are somewhere near due warm
up at the ball yard and then picks the
one that he considers will be most ef-
fective at that particular time.
On the other hand, Connie prob
\ably has some idea at least one day
ahead who is likely to do his flinging,
only some flaw in this mans prelim-
mary work being sufficient to change
the managers mind. Still by keeping
mum, Connie gains a reputation for
guile that may help him in his busi'
ness.
