RUBE WADDELL'S ANTICS
 ANNOYED HIS MANAGER

A writer in the Chicago Post is composing. a series of seIni-serious ar 5icles on famous ball players of to- day. His last one had to do with the eccentric Rube Waddel1, and is as follows.
 Rube Wadde11 will be the subject for the history lesson to-day, chill dren. Rube wasn't real king or prince,--but he was ruler among pitchers when he had his health and youth While pastinning with Chi eago. Athletics and Browns, he was considerably talked about, and he has even stirred up some ripples of excite rnent at Minneapolis.
 During the glory of his prime, % Wadden II + vas the m1st-adverfised nSss ,,da. s dts had many a manager half crazy. Like the. effeminate flea, you never could tell where he'd be the next
 moment. Rube's great passions were fishing, manual labor, deas and pea nuts Quite a collection, we wot.
 One day, when Rube was with the St Louis Browns, he appeared on the field in full uniform Manager McA1eer had selected him to pitch, and, as us- before 1t was time to warm up Mc- A1eer happened to turn around for a moment and when he looked back Waddeu was gone.
 They searched high and low for the eccentric pitcher, but Rube was mo- where to be found. McAleer gained six minutes. The crowd was hol- Iering for the game, and also for Rube. because he had been advertis- ed to work that afternoon. and 8 great assemblage was present.
 " Suddenly one of the Browns ex- claimed, There he is,'' and pointed over to the clubhouse. There, on the other side of the fence was Wed dell Still in his uniform, he was helping a carpenter saw a board.
 Another time. WaddeII was appear ing in vaudeville in Chicago. Being a great attraction, the theatre was packed and jammed at every perfor- nance. On the afternoon in ques- kion Waddeus cue came, and there was no Rube in sight. They looked all over for hi1l, the audience yelled and sE1rieked for the show to con- Anue Finally he was located in the alley outside the theatre. Although all dressed up for his act, he was busiIy engaged in pulling up a. buck et of tar to the third story of a build- ing which was being remodeled.
