Tales of the Diamond
Humorous and Otherwise.
BY BILLY EVANS.

Smoky Joe Wood. the sensational
pitcher of the Boston Americans, en-
joyed q big laugh at my expense dur
ing game at Cleveland last summer.
Incidentally all the fans within hear
Ing laughed as heartily as did Joe.
The incident happened on the first
trip of the Red Sox to Cleveland. be-
fore they had become pennant con-
tenders. The first three games of the
series went to the Maps. Late In the
third game Manager Stahi. q bit
pceved at the way things were break
Ing. kicked so hard over a decision at
first that Umpire Jack Egan, who was
working with ME. chased him from
the game. As iS usually the case,
when an argument is on, most of the
Boston players were standing In
front OF their bench.
Manager Stahl took his time about
making hts exit I was umpirinE the
plate and was anxious to get things
moving again Since Engle was play
ing third In the game l mention In
place OF Gardner. / knew Il was 100

fon bench yelled:

Wicked Baltimore
People May Be,

BALTIMORE. Jan. s.--The half
miiers In Baltimore county have lost
their fight to be permitted to operate
their race tracks with the old sys-
tenn of betting. but the commission
was parti4 " liberal when IL per
ritted that Eday race meetings over
such tracks may take down commits
sions of IL per cent OF the gross
amount OF business handled in the
pari-mutuel machines. With sucn an
enormous commission, 1t can hardly
be called lost fight.
Today's session brought forth this:
The commission deducted by the
racing association under said pari-
mutuel betting system shall be on
half-mile tracks conducting meetings
OF not over six days In duration, not
to exceed IL per cent. and In all other
cases not to exceed 8 per cent of the
gross amount handled
The commission then at some
lenght gave it's reasons for adherlng
to the rule that all the tracks In it's
Jurisdiction should install the mutuel
machines.
Among other things II set forth
that bookmaking ms practiced in
Baltimore county has resulted In an
indirect tax of from 30 to so per cent
of the money bet being levied on the
public.
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1913-01-09

Come on, Bradley, hurry up, get
out on first base so I can start the
game" Bradley was warming up in
front Of the Boston bench. but he paid
no attention to my shouts. Again /
yelled at him, but he was deaf to my
appeals. He was waiting for some
word from Manager Stahl, who simply
hated TO discontinue his argument with
my partner. Finally, bit peeved at
Bradley's indifference. / yelled again.
II was at this stage of the game that
Joe Wood. who was tossing the ball
to Bradley. cut in with his comedy.
Say. Bill said Joe, II thought
you were umpiring this game and
Stahl managing our team" of course
all the players and everybody within
hearing distance Uttered at my ex-
pepse. was now the peeved party
and couldn't refrain from saying:
We'll, IL / was manager and Brad
ley didn't pay any more attention to
me than he is doing now, he would be
looking for a new job Wood with
a smile reminded me Of that happen
ing many q time during the year.

No Great Chance TO Pile Up
Riches in Baseball, He Says

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. s.-Connie
Philadelphia Athletics. laughs at the
assertion that baseball owners are pill
ing I'D riches, and sounds a warning
that the major league clubs are spend
ing too much money and must re-
trench. AS an example, he points to
the fact that his club has not paid a
cash dividend In years. despite the
fact that IL has twice won the world s
char pionship. He was led to make
this statement on hearing q remark
that many baseball men had retired
with fortunes He said:
THE only man / can think of who
retired from baseball with money Is
Ned Hanlon. former manager Of the
Baltimore and Brooklyn teams. Han
lon was player. manager and club
owner. and yet when We look care
fully into his case we will find that
Hanlon retired on the profits which he
made out of real estate rather than
the profits from baseball.
THE immense growth of baseball
has reached the point where 1t has
forced the club owners to sit up and
think The cost OF building new plants,
the large increase In the salaries of
players and the other expenses have
grown to such proportions that 1t has
become a serious question with the
owners as to what Is 10 be done II

Athletics paid dividend. Here we

purpose. That was to build a park

worlds champions.
"At the end of all these years we
find ourselves confronted with the
problem of how we are going to live
II the expenses of running a major
league club are to be maintained. To
meet the situation we have been COM
PEELED to invest another 100000 at

zone OF the reasons for the largely
increased outlay to run a ball club Is
the rule which has caused clubs to add
more men TO their roster. There was

Radcliffe Concert
Comes Tonight in
City Auditorium

The Earnest Gamble concert party
present the fourth of the Radcliffe
series OF concerts at the City audi
torium tonight. The company is a
well balanced organization, compris-
Ing Earnest Gamble. basso; Miss
.Ferna Pages> violinist, and Edwin
shonert. pianist. Each member is a
talented artist, and the solo as well
as the ensemble numbers are rem
dered with brilliancy md finished
technical execution.
1t is a hobby of Mr.. CANDLES to
present music at his concerts which
every individual in the audience will
fully appreciate. While his pro-
grams consist of the best there is in
music from the standard classics. the
music never goes over the head of
the average listener and la equally
ENJOYABLE to all. Some idea OF the
scope of the program for tonight will
be CLEANED from the following brief
survey.
The program is headed by Liszt's
Second Hungarian Rhapsody" Lisxt
was great pianist as well as a
orchestra leader and composer and
his works for the pianoforte have
left their impression upon all piano
literature since his day. Perhaps the
best known and most popular of his
compositions for the piano are the
fifteen Hungarian Rhapsodies." OF
which the Second" Is considered by
many to be the most beautiful.
In almost all OF Liszt's compositions
the influence of his native Hungarian
folk and gypsy songs is apparent. and
In the Hungarian Rhapsody group he
has allowed his feelings full sway.
The wild. passionate, at times almost
weird, and at times majestic, gypsy
theme predominates throughout, and
Ltszt has interviewer that with de-
hghtfui cadences. producing mar
relously beautiful effect. The Second
Hungarian Rhapsody" is played by
Mr.. Shonert.
The delightful "Romanre" and
"Gavotte" from the beautiful opera
"Mignon" are played by Miss Page,
and the majestic Gloria of Buzxi-
Peccta as sung in the full. rich basso
Of Mr.. Gamble is truly glorious.
Among the other numbers on the
program are selections from the
works of such well known composers
as Mcdowell. Handel, Schubert and
Rubinstein, Elaborate four-page pro-
grams with transla tons OF the
Ghrettos and full analytical notes on
the various numbers will help toward
better appreciation of the music.
Seats for the concert are on sale
at the Walter p. Moses company, OF
this city.

Peerless Leader
Signs a Contract
for Three Years
BY n. w. LARpNER.

CHICAGO, Jan. s.-The California
orange crop has been frozen up. We
should not worry. Frank Chance to-
day fell Off the fence on the New
York side and signed a three-yea
contract TO manage the Yanks at a.
figure that makes each individual
orange look like the proverbial grain
of mustard seed.
Inquiries regarding this figure failed
tn develop anything tangible. When
asked about IT, Frank Farrell, owner
Of the Yanks, passed the buck up to
Change. and Chance turned 1t back
to Mr.. Farrell. There was no oppor-
tunity afforded to sneak glance at
the contract itself. so we are in the
dark regarding certain things 1t con-
tanned.
1t Is safe to say that the Peerless
Leader will draw more money than
ever was given a baseball manager
