pitched Dobbs' outfit into second
place in 1911, but his arm was
practically gone. His thinking ap.
paratus remained intact, however,
and he was able to be one Of the
leagues leaders.
He saw that his baseball days
were over. His careful living in the
days of his prime had guaranteed

him, still looking the business man
and now a real business man, en-
gagged in the pleasant pastime Of
making two dollars for one in the
little north Alabama town from
which he emanated.
There he teaches a Sunday school

DOPE P|CKEDUP
At Die GAMES
BY W. s. Farnsworth.

TUST before the last game Of
the worlds series in Boston l
- had a long talk with Frank
Farrell, president of the New York
league club. He tipped me off that
he doesn't believe Tommy Mel Mil
ian, eX-Yellow Jacket star, will
stick up in the fast company be-
cause of his inability to hit.
81 am going to give Mcmillan
another chance next spring," said
Mr.. Farrell but 1 don't believe he

fellow is a mighty good infielder
and a fair man on the bases, but
| have got to get some hitters for
my team next season, and unless
Mcmillan takes a big brace l fear
! will have to ask waivers on him"
A PHILADELPHIAs scribe at the big
games told me an interesting
story about Claude Derrick. former
Georgia crack, who has been secur-
ed by the Yankees for next year.
1t seems that Connie Mack let Der
rick go to Baltimore the past sea-
son. where he played corking ball.
Mack tried to get him back by draft
this fall, but Washington drew him
and then traded him to New York.
The shrewd Mack hung onto Der
rick for two years, but Claud went
to the bad after the Athletics had
made their first Western trip to
Chicago last spring. Mack sold him
to Baltimore, believing he had
reached the end of his career be-
cause OF an accident that happened
In the Windy City. But Derrick
soon recovered in Baltimore and
today is considered the best of the
youngsters drafted by the Majors.
The accident was the result of a
lot of tomfoolery. A member of one
of the SWEETEST clubs in Chicago in
vited the Athletics one hot night
down to his club to take a plunge
in a big pool. In the party were
Derrick, Bris and Rube Oldring
Oldring and Lord thought they
would have some fun with Derrick
and began holding him under the
water First one and then the other
would push him down. Finally he
became exhausted and nearly
drowned. 1t took two physicians
all that night TO bring him around.
The shock Derrick suffered was
so great that he went all to pieces
and was unable to play any kind Of
ball. Mack as a result sold him to
Baltimore But the Georgia lad
is O. h. now and all the scouts at
the series predicted that the Yam
KEGS have made a swell catch"
n GORGE STALLINGS believes
he will land in the first divis-
ion with his Boston team next year.
"All l will need to finish better than
fifth is a couple of pitchers" he told
me on the return to New York after
the deciding game.
Wise baseball men consider
Stallings as great a manager as
McGraw and Mack Hughey Jen-
nings claims that the Georgian
knows how to handle players bet
ter than anybody in the world.
Look at the way he carried that
New York bunch into second place"
said the Detroit manager. "And
look what Chase did the next year
