MARRIED
THANK YOU

Miss Maybelle Fisher, who with
Miss Oline Wallis, is singing at
Pantages theater this week, has
found a man, "a real man." He
is Fred Zobedie, the gymnast, and
she found him some few years
ago back in Chicago.
There was a mistake, some
how, somewhere, and a bungle-
some, witless reporter is respon-
sible. To-day he is grovelling
about in the dark corners of Pan
tages looking for the young wom-
an who was mistaken for Miss
Fisher, or Mrs. Zobedie, who said
she wanted husband.
To be married congenially, and
think whole lot of your hus-
band, and vice versa, and then
have someone declare you said
YOU wanted a man, is somewhat
netting II not downright exas-
perating.
But Mr.. and Mrs. Zobedie were
mighty nice about it. They said
it was unfortunate, which 1t GER
tainly was, all of that, but that
after all thGe might have been an
excuse, and would the reporter
have a cigar He did, thank you
Then he began his search fol
that elusive little creature whom
he took to be Miss Fisher, who
kicked her slipper across this
dressing room and said, 81 wan
a man."

By Harry CHASER.

Tn Doc Johnston, who made his
first appearance on the Hilltop
yesterday in Cleveland uni
form. Harry Davis seems to have
found the player he has searched for
all season The first base position
caused the Cleveland leader no end
of worry. He tried out innumer-
able men, including Hohnhorst,
Birmingham and Griggs. but none
of the candidates took care of the
corner in satisfactory manner.
At one time Davis was so hard
pressed that he had to use Lajoie
at the initial sack, taking him
away from the keystone, where he
has starred for years.
Johnston succeeded Griggs about
week ago, being purchased from
the New Orleans club, and has since
played so well that Manager Davis
believes he has at last found the
right man for the job. He took
leading part in preventing the
Yankees from winning Yesterday.
The former Pelican made three hits
in five trips to the plate, being re-
sponsible for half the runs scored
by the Maps. OF their eight tallies
he drove in three and scored one
himself 1t was his triple that
brought home Lajoie with the ty-
ing count in the ninth He also
played fine defensive game. In
the fourth he stopped Paddocks
hot sma sh that looked good for a
hit, and beat the ranchman in a
sprint to the bag. There were sew
eral other fine plays made by him.
Johnston played with the Peli-
cans for the past few years. and
has been sought by a number of
big league managers. Frank Chance
tried to get him last season.
Hughey Jennings had an option on
him at the time, but failed to exer-
else it after Gainor came to the
Tigers The Cleveland club then
made a bid for him and he joined
the Maps a few weeks ago.
The recruit has plenty of speed.
is a splendid fielder and a heavy
hitter. There is only one weakness
that he is said to have; that is. he
can't hit well against southpayNs,
but Davis thinks he can help him
overcome his failing.
