Texas Product and Failed to Make
Good in Pitching.

still going to school he worked In a
cottonseed oil mill, starting at the
bottom and working up to be a boss
at 1855 a month by 1907.
Joins CIeburne Club.
As the mill was in operation only
during the winter and early summer,
Iris found time to travel around with
independent clubs, receiving his car
fare and a share in the gate receipts
when there was a surplus So in the
fall of 1906 he accepted a position at
a salary of $50 per month with the
CIeburne club in the Northern Texas
league, going back to his mill 1oo
that winter. 1t was with Cleburne
that he could not win as a pitcher SO
became an outflelder-
In 1907 the Cleburne club was
transferred to Houston, with a fran
chise in the Texas league, where
Speaker batted .314 in rs games, and
ranked fifth among the league sWats-
men. That fall he was bought by
the Boston Red Sox- He took part in
two games and got two hits in four
times at bat
PFafes offer $4,000 for Him.
Pittsburg came forward with an Of
fer of $4,000 for the release of the
voungster. and he and manager Finn
sat up until 2 o'clock one morning
trying to persuade Rather, now dead,
to make the deal, for Speaker and
Finn had been promised $4,000 extra
by BlILSDuFg enISSdTy, II the ueei
went through. But president Rather
said he had given his word to Boston,
and Iris went to the Red Six in the
fall.
Poor Start With Boston.
In the fall of 1908, with Boston,
Speaker hit only .220 in 81 games, but
has been over the 300 mark every
year since, always dangerous in
pinch, and a great cleanup hitter.
This season he is pressing Joe Jack
son and Tv Cobb for the premier pO-
sition. His great speed, which con-
tributed its part to the nickname
speed Boys" which had a vogue for
some time, enables Speaker to play in
closer than most Outfielders for short
hits, and still get back for the long
ones.
Speaker stands nearly six feet tall,
and in playing condition weights
about 17S pounds He is unmarried.

~ RIS SPEAKER, of the Boston
Red Sox, who was awarded a
4 motor car as the American
Lacquer player most valuable to his
team during the season of 1912, began
his baseball career as a rignt-handed
pitcher instead of a left-handed out
fielder.
This is to say Speaker began his

years old, and a leader among the

Changes From Right to Left.
The change from the right TO the
left hand came when Speaker was
years old Thrown from a horse, me

bones in the lower arm and one IN
the upper arm. AS soon as he
could heave a ball without jarring
his right side too much Iris was out
practicing with his, left hand, and even
before the bones Of his right arm
were fully knit he had acquired
mastery of the southpaw delivery to
be in demand again for the pickup
games
Speakers metamorphosis from
pitcher to an oUtfielder did not come
until many years later, after he had
embarked on his professional career
at Cleburne, in the fall of 1906.
Taking up this rule chronilogic-

April 4. 1883, according to his own
statement, at Hubbard, Tex, where
his father. now dead was engaged in

y HARLES A. CONIISKEY, master
of the White SOx, has a remedy
for some of the existing ills Of
baseball. particularly in the confusion
growing out of different interpreta-
tions of its code of rules. He believes
there is nothing radically wrong with
the rules themselves. and there GER
tainly is not with the game. But the
current season has produced numerous
tangles which might have caused SER
iOuS trouble and endless discussion in
a close pennant race, and the playing
rules which have not been touched for
several years are faulty in not specif-
ically covering all known plays
The remedy prescribed by president
COmiskey is to turn the whole thing
bodily over to a gathering of baseball
men, to be composed OF three differ
ent and usually antagOnistic elements
managers, umpires, and baseball
among themselves if it takes all win
ter.
More specifically. Comiskey's idea
is to get the major league managers
and umpires and an equal number of
baseball scribes, representing all the
cities in both circuits into a room to-
gether at some time during the off sea-
son in some centrally located city,
and keep them there, at the expense
of organized baseball until they agree
on some inform Interpretation and
lucid wording Of the playing rules.
Lock Them Up,S Says COmisEey.
'The quickest and surest way to
bring about an agreement between
two men always has been to lock them
in a room together and let them
fight it out at short range said pres
ident Comiskey, in outlining his views.
Long distance discussion won't get
you anywhere inside of a thousand
years, generally speaking.
There IS today difference OF
a number of rules, They seem Of
minor importance. Of course, because
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1913-09-04

baseball in general is played about
the same everywhere; but these little
points sometimes turn out to be of
great Importance. In closely contested
games it does not take much to turn
the scale one way or the other and
there have been times when one game
decided a pennant- That may happen
any year.
Three Divisions of Knowledge.
To-day the men who know most
about the shortcomings Of the game
and its rules are the managers, the
umpires, and the newspapermen who
devote all their time to the game.
Leave the club owners out of it. They
are too busy trying to find ballplayers.
The combination named would be a
great one 1t would not do TO leave
it to the umpires, for they might want
TO fix up the rules so as to make their
JOBS as easy as possible. 1t would
not do to leave it to the managers, be-
cause they would look at the game
from their own standpoint only. tt
would not do to leave II to the news
papermen alone, because few Of them
nave had practical experience on the
ball field.
Must Include Newspapers.
The umpires and managers, If it
were left to them. might forget about
the pubic, with which the neWspa-
pers are closely in touch, so the
three elements are necessary to get
tAlS 44Snl perspective on all POINTS
Then when an agreement is reached
the neWspapermen can put it in shape
so everybody will understand it.
Give these men plenty Of notice
in advance of the meeting, so that
they can have time to think over the
weak spots they have noticed and
think up remedies for them. In that
way every one could come prepared
with suggestions, and these could be
debated openly, so as to get all the
different angles. It might take a lot
Of time, but it would be time wei
spent with a reasonable limit fixed
on discussing any point"
