Joe Jackson Didn't
Make Longest Drive

From all of the evidence submitted
in the case it has about been decided
that Joe Jackson, the e1ugging out
fielder of the Cleveland club, will not,
among other things this season, be
credited with making the longest hit
in the history of the game. When the
Maps were playing at the Polo Grounds
recently Jackson poled a hit to the top
of the right wing of the grand stand,
and it was claimed that it was the
| longest hit ever made in the game on
| record.
The hit might have got into the
| books as a, record had it not been for a,
number of oId-time fans and ball play
ers with keen recolIections of events
| that occurred back in the dark ages
of the pastime- They pulled from the
moth eaten records the achievement of
| Dan Brouthers back in 1894 to show
| that Jackson was not even in the run
ring for the long distance hitting
| championship.
! Brouthers who at the time he wrote
this record into the books, was a mem
| Der of the famous Baltimore Orioles
| and a, teammate of John McGraw, Will
! bert Robinson, Hughey Jennings and
several other famous athletes of that
| time hit a, ball 1900 feet. That is, the
| ball travelled that far before it stop
ped rolling. That is at least a city
block further than Jackson sent the
ball at the Polo Grounds S. c. Apple
| by a Baltimore sport writer who saw
lBrouthers make his hit, has this to say
about 1T, and he is substantiated by
John McGraw, Hughey Jennings and
Il Brouthers himself
i my own estimate is that the ball
went 1900 feet from the plate before
| it stopped rolling. The ground was
500 feet deep from the home plate to
the fence where it crossed over, and
the ball was about 10 feet higher than
the 12-foot fence when it left the
u grounds for it was q long, low, swift,
fiat hit-not a sky ball. Then it went
two and a half city blocks, bounding
and rolling and these measure on a
city slate more than 800 feet
Il Brouthers's hit stands in the records,
but there is one told of by baseball
men that makes it look like a pop fly.
i According to this story a player in the
old National League grounds at Bos-
ton hit ball over the left field fence
in a game one day. The railroad tracks
are lust outside of the fence. The ball
: fell into the coal tender of a passing
train bound for Philadelphia, and went
all the way to the Quaker City before
it stopped. That is generally credited

M'Graw Got $4,000
Salary By Big Bluff

New York, Sept. 12-John j. McGraw
of the New York Giants, is the high
est paid manager in baseball
McGraw receives $4,000 year for
managing the Giants. McGraw will
receive this sum for five years after
the expiration of 1913
For the first time the inside story
of the way in which McGraw signed
to this big contract is told. The story
came from the lips of the little boss
himself And it revealed him as a
man able to play the game of bluff
off the field as we'll as on it,
MoGraw demanded that sum. And
one of the reasons he secured it was
because he offered just one alternative
his resignation.
Here is what happened.
McGraw during the lifetime of John
T Brush, was satisfied. The relations
of the magnate and the manager were
cordial They understood each other,
McGraw knew what to expect and the
two went along very pleasantly. On
the death of Mr.. Brush new men came
| to the head of the club. McGraw's
! contract had but a short time to run
! So he visited the offices of the ball
! club in New York
It is said there were no preliminar-
| les The scrappy manager said he had
| come to resign. The officials couldn't
| understand the proceeding. They ask
| ed McGraw if he wasn't satisfied. He
| answered that he was not. They
| wanted him to go into details, to state
| his grievances.
! AS the story goes, Brush had assur-
ed McGraw that for his faithfulness
| in the handling of the club, he would
be rewarded in Brush's will. 1t was
| understood, it is said, that he would
get a piece of the club, McGraw was
content.
But when the will was opened there
was nothing there for Muggsy. Anger
ed to the quick he rushed in with his
resignation.
Then came the opening. They want
ed to know whether there wasn't some
way by which he could be retained
if there were not some circumstances
which would cause him to reconsider
| his determination
The fighting boss answered tina
there was He stated that if his salary
was Increased to $4,000 a year ant
the contract ran for five years h
would sign a new contract then ant

They demurred. McGraw was get
ting in the neighborhood of $4,000.

that permit a club owner to turn play

title Terrible Terry McGoyern
challenged him to do battle The
Brooklyn boy was then the bantam
champion of America, and had made
quite a reputation. Pedlar said as 'ow
hit seemed a bit of rum go for i'm
take on a b1oke so bloody much small
er than 'imself, but, bIiney, e would
do hit so long as Terry insisted.
The preliminary festivities were
some class, Palmer was met at the
pier by a big covey of his admirers,
and a brass band and a procession
followed him to his hotel. A lot OF
prominent Englishmen came over to
see the match. Bettinson, the fam
Gus London sport and president Ofathe
National Sporting Club, and Sir
Thomas Upton were among those
present at the battle. The Goulder-
bits and the Vanasters and other
leaders of the wealth and fashion of
the American metropolis graced the
occasion with their presence. Politi-
clans, including Dick Croker, actors,
literary gents and other celebrities
were as prevalent as mosquitoes at
BunkhaVen-b y-the-Sea.
1t was a classy social OCCASION and
it would be pleasant to add that all
present enjoyed the festivities to the
fullest. Such, however, does not ac-
cord with the facts of history. PedIaI
Palmer and his supporters afterward
recalled the affair with distate, and
accused their American hosts of gross
innpoliteness. The English champion
didn't last as long as a SNOWFALL in
Costa Rica- Terry hammered him all
over the ring, and in a. fraction of one
round Pedlar was horse de com bat II
was the shortest championship fight
between little fellows on record. Yes
and Palmer was a pretty nifty boxer
at that.

Extra Sporting Page

There will be a hard fight for back
field positions this year, as there are
a, number of men who appear equally
well matched. Captain Baker will be
one halfback and Click or -'Stew"
Baker at the other half. The fight
for fullback position will probably be
decided between Merritt, Coach An
drew's new find, and E. Trenkman,
who played at that position in several
of last seasons games.
Quarterback will probably rest be-
tween Mike Boland and Thornton
Emmons, unless Stew Baker, who
played that position last year, is re-
tanned instead of being shifted to
ha1fback.
