BEST BASEBALL STORY HUGH JENNINGS HAS
HEARD DURING HIS BASEBALL CAREER

he decided to back a club of his own,
employing his brother as travelling
manager.
"If you wonder why this clerk sue
ceeded as manager let me relate two
instances of his shrewdness. He
wanted to get the results of out-of-
town games, but hesitated about pay
ing telegraph or telephone tolls. so he
evolved a scheme to beat the COM
panies.
After each game his brother would
telephone. asking for an imaginary
| person. Their code was simple, the
initials representing the score
"If the call was for Mr.: c.. A.
Smith. the clerk-manager knew his
team had won by a score of 3 to 1, for
the first initial meant his team and
the second the opposing team, the let
tiers of the alphabet being numbered.
He filed his grand stand one day
by advertising on the sport pages a
| reward of 5000 for a $400 diamond ring
lost in the grand stand upon the oc-
casion of the last game. Men who
never attended semi-pro games in
vested in grand stand seats in the
hope of finding that diamond ring
which, of course, never had been lost.
The chap would be a millionaire in
a couple of years If he could get a
major league franchise.

titled to the session deeisively. The
fourth was a repetition, with both
lads fighting every inch of the way.
Bender walloped his Passaic opponent

a little more added. 1t was a great
bout from the start. about the best

I'm my career in minor and major
leagues l have heard a million funny
ba seball stories," declares Hugh Jen-
nings. of Detroit. "The funniest OF
all may read like fiction. but is fact.
The man around whom the story
hangs is now a prominent se%ni-pro-
fessional manager in a large Eastern
city, and has a bank roll that is the
envy of many a major Lacquer.
This man received his start as a
department store clerk. While work
ing for the usual department store
salary he learned that the firm did
not back a baseball team. 1t vas the
only large store in town that was
not backing a fast amateur club as an
advertising dodge.

everything printed about baseball. in
side and outside, and believed he was
Just the man to manage a team
backed by the store. And he helped
the store manager to reach the same
conclusion.
"Realizing the value of newspaper
publicity, he decided ne must be a
frst-class press agent. He was af-
fable. popular and never failed to tip
off to the sporting editors any bit of
news that came his way, especially
about his club. He broke into the
sport pages with the name of his firm
so often that he soon received an adj
vance IN salary.
"At the start he scheduled games
in his home city only, but his club
quickly made such a reputation that
out-of-town teams were asking for
dates, usually offering $25 or $50 in
ducements.
"Impressing upon his players that
acceptance of this money by them
meant the loss of their amateur
standing, he poeketed the none him
self. Before long his stipend from
the games exceeded his salary, and
