behind the bat attracted the attention of now Manager Gary of the Green Bay team, who was then with Pitts field, one of the strongest independent teams in that section of AIassachu setts Gary thought So well of Go ven's work that he sent hlm Friday, transportation to Chicago, and Arthur was on his way Saturday afternoon.
 Geven is a classy player and should make good in the western organiza- ton. lie is a fast, brainy, accurate player. He has always made good. His batting average for last season was 265 which is not at all bad. He is always in the game and sees possibilities with the rapidity of a big league star. Those familiar with his work say he needs only the opportun ity to make name for himself.
 The Green Bay team is one of an eight-club organization, six teams of which are in Wisconsin and two in Illinois. Their season of 140 games opens May and ends September Is.

It is beginning to look as if Frank Chance, the manager of the Chicago Cubs, was angling for Bob Fisher, second baseman of the Newark club of the International leafue. Last fall the Cubs offered McGinnity S5,000 for Fisher, but the Iron Man refused to sell, as it would leave a big gap in his infeld. Chance wants the player, who was rated as the best second baseman in the old Eastern league, to fill in at second for him, in case Johnny Elvers, who is said to have recovered from his nervous troubles, is not able to ''come back"

On the second evening out the man

1T retired table and began playing
stud poker. Soon other passengers be-
gan watching the game, among them

nard s pile.
'Careful, there said the comedian.
''those chips are worth 500 apiece,
and he threw five of them into the pot.
Immediately word was passed about
that a game for high stakes WAS IN
progress and soon the vicinity Of the
players was thronged with eager spec
tators who scented excitement.
Mr. Brady gave MIR. Bernard a kick
on the shins and wink from his off
eye, Bernard was wise at once and
the game continued rs quietly as be-
fore so far as the participants them
selves were concerned, but with in
crcasing tension among the spectators.
The next not won by Bernard appar-
emily contained $500. Brady then took
one which the bvstandcrs were sure
was worth $1,000 For half an hour
five hundreds, thousands and fifteen
hundreds, went back and forth and
then Mt Brady began TO lose steadily.
BY 10 O'Clock the manager of the
Playhouse was $4,000 to the bad-on
paper-and he said he had had enough
for one evening, but promising to COME
back for revenge the next night.
As a matter of fact. not a cent
changed hands. because after seizing
upon the idea Of fooline the passen-
gers, the players lost sight Of the ac-
tual value Of the chips bet.
AS Mr.. Brady undoubtedly was thc
loser, however, he entertained Mr. and
Mrs. Bernard at An elaborate dinner

Throughout the remainder of ihr
VOYAGE after the episode both actor
and manager were objects Of more than

slow in returning TO New York. Nor
were the actors needy acqnaintances

easy money.
