KID EGAN GETS DAMAGES.
Collects $4,000 for Charge He
Tried to Steal From JEFF and Fitz.

NEW YORK, October 23.-Joseph Egan,
better known as the Kid, who once was
manager OF James ]. Jeffries. got a YER
diet of 1880 in the supreme court yes
terday from jury before Justice Weeks
in a suit for $4,000 against a magazine.
The suit was based on statements in
an article by Richard Barry alleg-
ing that when the receipts of the Jeffries-
Fitzsimmons fight at San Francisco i'll
1902 were divided Egan tried 10 walk
away with more than his share.
The chief Witnesses for Egan were JEFF
fries and Fitzsinmons, who toured the
country under his management after the
fight. Jeffries whose testimony was
taken on the coast by commission, denied
that any money was missing when IL was
counted up, or that any one called Egan
a thief at the time. When asked il Fred
Belasco. one OF the promoters of the
fight. hadn't told Egan he was a thief,
JeHries said:
mo. sir. II Belasco ever called Egan a
thief Little Irish would have eaten him
up He would tear his head on him: He
is not a big fellow, but Is wonderful
little boy"
The nrincipai witness for the defense
was Samuel Thali one of the fight pro-
motors. who testified that he detected
Egan taking more than he was entitled
to. and insisted that the money be count
ed again. when il was found that Egan
had over 800 too much. He said he &C

as a manager while with Chicago. He
won a pennant and a worlds series
with a team which was almost last in
batting. But he soured on the game
and quit. Hermann, however. might
induce him to return to the fold, and
If he does the Reds will be ruled in a
competent manner in the future.
Palmero, a Cuban left-hander, is the
latest addition to the Giants pitching
staff. On the form the youngster has
shown in Havana he stands good
chance of being a sensation in the Ma
tional League next season.
Palmero has just pitched three re-
markable games Of ball against the
strong Birmingham Southern League
team. The first time he faced them he
let them down without hit. He was
hit safely three times in the second and
four times in the third, scoring three
shut-outs.
Palmero is but twenty years old and.
according to the Havana experts. is by
far the best pitcher Cuba has turned
out. This is strong statement for

black twirler, was as clever a per-
former as base ball has ever produced.

IN CUTTING MELON
Worlds Champions Are Far
More Generous Than the

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. October 29-Not
only are the Athletics the greatest team
in base ball, but they are perhaps the
best-hearted base ball clan in the world.
Il there are any players with mean, self
ish habits on the club their traits never
get a chance to crop out, as the big
hearted boys are too strong.
You never hear anything about half
shares or quarter shares on the Ath
letics. Mr. Fan. do you know John
Lavan. Herb Pennock, J. Weldon
Wyckoff and Bill Orr? Perhaps not.
They are little baby White Elephants,
and though they did not throw ball
during the worlds series and did mighty
little toward winning the league cham
pionship, they got just as much out of
the worlds series as Collins, Baker or
Bender.
Lavan is a young medical student.
who played with the Browns early last
season. He hit around no. In August
Mack's team was badly bunged up. Barry
was out, and Orr, who was the infield
substitute. was also out of the game with
an injury. RUDE Oldring was then
brought in to play shortstop, but to be
on the safe side Mack bought 40 Lavan
from the Browns for the waiver price.
Lavan played in A few games the last
week of the season with the Athletics,
when Mack rested up his regulars. II
this player had been OH the Giants he
probably would have received about a
tenth of n share. With the Athletics he
got his $3,246 the same as the stars.
Another example of how the Athletics
do things. In 1910 Claude Derrick. the
same player who was with the Yankees
last spring, was purchased by Mack from
Greenville, class ID burg, for fall de-
livery. He reported in late August. To
be precise. five days before the time it
is necessary to be with club to be eligi-
BILE for the worlds series.
Derrick got into a few games after
the flag was elnched. but did not do a
single thing to help his team win the
pennant. Please guess how much he
got out of the worlds series? Twenty
five-hundred bucks the same as any of
the regulars received. There was lit
tie question at the time as to whether
Derrick should get a full share. How
ever, those opposed to giving Claude a
full share were quickly voted down. and
ever since the Macks have divided even.
The Giants might take moral from
this. Every fall, after the pennant is
clinched. the players have a meeting in
the clubhouse, when they decide who is
to get full shares and parts of shares.
Perhaps If they cut out this meeting, and
decided to divide even, they might have
better chance to cut up the big end of
the dough.
