in vaudeville, claims that no man rises
faster in his profession thar the good
ball player. He tells this story of Joe
Jackson in support of his theory:
That a baseball player can rise more
rapidly in his profession than any
other human being is the belief of Ben
Smith, partner of Hugh Jennings in
vaudeville. While here last week Mr..
Smith related an incident supporting
his belief.
Joe Jackson of the Cleveland club
is holding out today for a raise of
1900 in salary" said Smith. when

of Joe J~ackson's first raise in baseball.
He was playing with the Greenville, S.
c.. club, six years ago, having been
taken out of a sawmill, where he had
been earning 81 a day. The first time
he went to bat as a professional he
struck out. He blamed the spiked
shoes, and the mex time he went to bat
in his stocking feet, and hit the first
ball over the fence for a homer.
H went along after that getting a
home run at least every other day, and
day his pal, a fellow named Kelly,
asked Joe what salary he was getting.
Joe proudly told him SIG a week.
"'Hou're n big chunp,' said Kelly.
Why don't You hit the boss for more
pay? Get to him and tell him you
want some real money
Joe finally summoned up courage
and called upon the boss. He returned
to Kelly all smiles.
"'Did YOU get it?' asked Kelly .
"lSure.' hoasted Joe.
"Well, what are You drawing now?'
"JUe glanced around to make sure
no one was within hearing, leaned to-
ward Kelly, and in a stage whisper an
nounced, Eighteen"
Personally, we don't care if that sec
