ton was announced as unanimous at

pass while Harry was leading a batch
of fellow players through a shortcut
on q morning hike Clarke had for
hidden his players to go that way,
as 1t was miles shorter than the other
route. Smith and his party were
ambushed by a masked man. who
shot wildly in the air, and Smith
disappeared down the side of the hill
with such amazing rapidity that he
started a landslide and Clarke feared
for time that the future Tiger
leader had been killed.
Smith has lost none of his big
league ardor for playing a practical
joke. but he never goes too far. Last
summer in Buffalo he rugged up a
dummy in the uniform OF the Newark
Club and hung it out ON the fire es-
cape OF the Tigers hotel. More than
one spectator squinted two or three
times before he realized that it was
q dummy and not human being in
distress.

Nusbaum's clean shirts and collars to
rig up similar dummies never both

Harry believes that q good laugh is
better than a barrel OF medicine, and
he tries to keep the boys III good
humor. The results last season look
as though he succeeded.

HARRY SMITH ALWAYS READY FOR A
LARK, IS CALLED ''PECK'S BAD BOY"

1t is not always necessary, as some
managers seem to think, that base
ball leader must be Simon Legree"
TO handle a bunch of players. Harry
Smith, Newarlx's first pennant winning
manager, disproved as well as disap-
proved of that theory last season.
Smith was always in for a playful
prank and being q master hand at
concocting q practical joke he gained
a reputation something like Peck $
Bad Boy" when he was in the big
league. James Jerpe, a baseball
scribe earning his livelihood in Pitts
burgh, where Smith used to play,
quotes Manager Fred Clarke and
other Pirates in telling of some of the
vaudeville" stunts Smith used to
pull in Smoketown.
They tell how Smith "greenappled'
every mans clothes in a sleeper by
tieing the trouser legs and coat
sleeves.
How he used to rub toasted linn
berger cheese under the shirt collars
of other players and made things
miserable for his fellow players in a
thousand other little ways Just for
fun
Hans Wagner tells how Smith used
TO slough armfuls of water soaked
paper on sleeping club members or
keep everybody awake with horns,
cowbells, rattlers and other fiendish
inventions devised to raise unearthly
dins. Then Gibson, who happened to
be in the party, spoke up and told
how Smith was scared one day by
Fred Clarke Here's the story In
Gibsons own words:
Smith was always afraid of re-
9nirt as.lra
One night after Harry had been rails
ing a general disturbance on our
Pullman, Fred Clarke sneaked down
TO the catcher's berth, tore open the
curtain and commanded Smith to
throw up his hands. Harry obeyed
with alacrity and took solemn oath
never again to torment his fellow be-
ings.
But Harry couldn't be good. At the
Eastman Hotel. in Hot Springs, the
players were being entertained one
warm night at a ball given at the
hotel. Smith managed to get two big
cannon crackers and the following
took place, with dark spot on the
lawn as the scene:
Don't shoot! Please, don't shoot
Help! Murder! Ouchv'
Bang. There was an awful deto.
nation as the cracker went off
Another shot and the whole hote
was swarming out to see what was
the matter. Smith had retired to q
secluded nook in the corner of the
veranda, innocently wondering why
everybody was excited. He imme-
diately became one of the most dill.

he heard the story of someone beine

cleared UP until Harry told the inside
