M'LEAN VERY ANGRY
Gets $500 From Giants, But
His Demand for More Block
ed by Chief Meyers.

NEW YORK, October 21.-Long Larry
Mclean. who caught for the Giants in
four games of the worlds series and also
made SIX base hits in twelve trips to the
plate, is the angrieSt man in Harlem.
Around the corners of 9Th avenue and
125th street, one block away from the
Hotel Braddock, where many of the
Giants hang out during the playing sea-
son, the gossips are telling an interest
ing story, and some of them declare that
they can prove it.
1t appears that last Tuesday night,
after the Giants had received their
share of the worlds series money, they
held a meeting at the hotel to .apportion
certain shares. In view of the fact that
Mclean, who Joined the team in mid
summer, had been called upon to do the
heavy work behind the bat after Chief
Meyers had been injured just before the
second game, the players voted to make
up a purse of $500 for Long Larry, who
had been led to believe that because of
his valuable services he would receive
I, full share, about $500.
When Mclean heard that he couldn't
| have more than $500, however, he mott
| fled the players who were assembled in
| the barroom that he must have $500
more or there would be serious trouble.
! Mclean always has borne the reputation
| of possessing pugilistic skill and at one
I time his friends had to persuade him not
; to challenge Jack Johns, /. For that
reason. when Larry declared himself. the
players decided to yield to his demands
and voted to call upon each of twenty
| five men who had received full share
\ to donate SO.
| Mclean smiled blandly as twenty-four
players agreed to put UP a total of $3.50
with Chief Meyers to be heard FROM
They were sure the Indian would get
into line as soon as he could be reach
ed by telephone, but after a spirited con-
versation over the wire with Meyers
who was at his home on Washington
| Heights. Mclean was informed that the
Chief had refused to contribute his
! mite.
| .Order taxicab,' roared Mclean.
/ Il will go out to the Indians house and
| give him what he deserves
Don't do it," chorused the Giants,
| who saw a wicked gleam in Long Larry's
eye.
Get out of my way the big fellow
| yelled II want taxi! deserve a full
share. let alone measly si.01o!
Somebody called a cab and Mclean
was about to Climb into il When half a
dozen Giants grabbed his coattails and
dragged him back. In a rough nix-up.
! so the story goes. Mclean was thrown
down and the players sat upon him until
ne promised to keep away from the In
dim Then. to make matters worse. Nc
Lean was informed that as Meyers had
refused to put up so the twenty-four
others had decided to back out, so that
Larry had to be contented with the
original 500.
"I'u keep my promise said Mclean
holly, after the rumpus was over, but
don't let Meyers cross my path. This
is Il fine deal after all I've done for the
team
Mclean made good, too. by steering
clear of Meyers. but he says that he
will never forget the incident, also that
he will be angry all winter.

but without success. They hope. how
| ever. to get him to change his mind"
Every now and then when a young
pitcher breaks into fast company 1t is as
serted that he has the speed of Johnson,
yet there has not been single instance
where any of these newcomers have COM
, pared with the Nationals star.
A young catcher named Reynolds. who
is a member Of the New York Americans,
brought the information that one of the
young pitchers Chance had secured in the
Lone Star League had the speed of john
son. Reynolds, OF course, had never seen
Johnson in action, and them to make his
assertion still more laughable, it devel-
oped that the pitcher he referred to was
Dode Criss, who for several years was
.. with the st. Louis Browns, where he de-
veloped quite a record as a pinch hitter.
But Crisis was failure as a pitcher, and
while7it is possible that he has improved,
Johnsons reputation for speed is not en-
dangered by Crisis return to fast COM
pany.
The Cincinnati Enquirer pays the fol-
lowing tribute to Walter Johnson:
Walter Johnson. the great pitcher of
the Washington club, was voted the most
valuable man to his team in the Amer
lean League this year. and the award was
a just one. Washington finished in sec

all. The Washington team would be a

because Johnson, If there was a day off

A Timely Appeal.

That was an eloquent and stirring
appeal President Thomas of Middle
bury College made in behalf of the
small towns in his baccalaureate ser
mon Sunday. There was no exag-
Grafton in the picture he drew of the
conditions that exist in those towns
conditions that induce if they do
not compel boys and girls to seek
the larger opportunities the cities al
ford rather than remain to struggle
along under ever increasing bur-
dens with little or no hope of a bet
ter or a brighter future.
1t was a splendid thing to urge
those graduates animated by hope
and enthusiasm to consecrate their
lives to the uplifting of the small
and struggling towns OF the Green
Mountain state, and it will be
splendid thing for Vermont IL his
pregnant words lead even small
part of those to whom they were al
dressed TO become the pioneers in
the work of regeneration he showed
is such a crying need.
President Thomas voiced self
evident truth when he declared the
only effective way in which to keep
Vermont boys on the farm is to ele-
yate the life and the opportunities in
farming communities. 1t is equally
true, as he contended, that a town
not good enough for boy to go into
is not good enough for boy to re-
main in, and that any policy that has
for it's object the keeping of young
people at home by depriving them of
knowledge OF the privileges and OPP
portunities to be secured elsewhere
is immoral and well nigh criminal.
What President Thomas urges is
practical, persistent and effective
work by Vermonters for Vermont's
smaller communities and in that
work every loyal son and daughter
of the Green Mountain State should
join with zeal and enthusiasm
