CATCHES GAME FOR QUARTER
Bradley kocher Of Detroit Tigers 10
Called From Grandstand to Earn
Munlflcent Sum.

Had the manager of the Eastou
team of the now defunct Atlantic
league refused to give Jack Kocher,
now second catcher of the Detroit
team, the Is cents that he paid to
witness game at East0n in 1909 the
Tigers would probably be without one
of the best young backstops in the
game. That was the only condition
on which he would catch for Easton
when he was picked out of the stand
after the only catcher that team had
was crippled by q foul.
It is the merest bit of luck that
gave Kocher his start in baseball.
1t happened this way. Kocher lived
at White Haven. near Philadelphia,
and short distance from Easton. A
big, husky farmers boy drifted into
Easton to visit his cousin, said boy
being Kocher, on a day when the
Easton team was playing q double.
header against sunbury.. another At
lantic league team
The cousin suggested that they
spend the afternoon at the ball game
and Kocher, who was something of a
catcher in White Haven, agreed to
60 along. In the seventh inning Of
the first game Catcher Barret was
put out with banged finger and the
game was about to be called OF when
the cousin tipped the manager on to
the fact that Kocher could catch.
Kocher didn't want to catch a
game that he had paid to see, and
so informed the manager. making
the proposition that he would catch
II he received his quarter back. An
agreement reached, he put on Bar
ret's uniform and caught eleven In
snings of star baseball. The follow
ing day Lave Cross, the old Athletic
and washington third baseman, came
to Easton with his Mount Carmel
team. Kocher threw to all the bases
with such speed and ease that Cross

IL was MS intense earneStneSS that
held his audiences. Of all the recep-
tions, he got only two or three that
might be classed as tepid-and the
two worst of these were at Oska-
lOOsa, Iowa, and Pueblo, Colo. Most
effective of all his appeals were those
made direct to the veterans of the
civil war-and the Colonel invari-
ably chose one phrase "you who wear
the button,'' he would say-and
spoke to him directly, appealing now
and then for confirmation of his
statements as to conditions in the
sixties being comparable to those of
the present day. ..s.s.
Always was the candidate meeting
either former Rough Riders, cowboy
friends, or just acquaintances, and
merely to show that he remembered
perfectly all about them, he would
generally recall some little incident.
The COW puncher vote is solidly Bull
Moose.
Dinner time on the Colonel's pri-
vate car-he had the Mayflower, gen
orally used by President Taft, while
the newspaper cabinet, as he always
termed them, were bunked in another
private car next to his-was an in
stltution. Roosevelt likes a hearty
meal, and he likes to linger over an
atter-dinner cup of tea and discuss
everything under the sun from the
making of wall paper to the habits
of Ursus Americana. And in that
discussion everybody joins.
One joke the Colonel admitted was
on himself happened at a Nebraska
town. He was addressing an audi
ence of school children.
II can talk to the boys" Roose-
welt said, ''but I've only one girl"
A newspaperman called the Col
onel's attention later to the fact that
the Roosevelt family actually includ-
ed two daughters-Mrs. Alice Long
worth and Miss Ethel.
"By George!" the Colonel eiacu-
lated. II was thinking about my lit
tie granddaughter, when I said that.
Now look here, if you boys publish
that and put me in bad with my fam
lily, why I'll just disown you.'
One of the newspapermen had oc-
casion to see the Colonel a moment,
and found him engrossed with his
mail and two or three local commit
teemen waiting. Roosevelt insisted
he was extremely busy and hurriedly
answered the reporters questions.
Then the newspaperman happened to
mention some little feature of tene-
ment house work. 49, 81
"How very interesting comment
ed the candidate, pushing his work
aside. "Now tell me all about it.
Yes. That's good. That's bully.
Well, now I've known of such and
such a case
And fifteen minutes later George
Roosevelt, his cousin, who acted as
the Colonel's secretary on the trip,
would have come in and actually
scold his chief to make him get down
to work again.

"Abyssinian had nothing to compare
with the treatment accorded the
Standard Oil company during the
Roosevelt administration and
Roosevelt had the greatest pleasure
in the world some hundred times in
advising his audience that if he got
in again, and the Standard Oil didn't
behave, he'd administer the Abyssin-
ian treatment once more. Always
there was laughter and applause, and
with this prelude the candidate
would plunge into the serious and
emphatic task of pleading for votes
for the Progressive party. Through
out the Colonel avoided the "I''

gressives" mostly. !.
Roosevelt never was an orator, but
those who have been associated with
him for years say that he never
spoke before with the warmth, the
conviction, and the, ability he show
ed on his "sWing around the circle.''
