F 7ogel Hands Out
Roast at Dinner

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 2T.-
Horace Fogel has broken out again,
and this time he took occasion to
deliver some unkind remarks about
the owners of both American and
National league clubs. At the annual
dinner of the Delaware County
league j. Barton Weeks, the president
and called upon each of the big
league officials present to tell the
young amateurs and semi profession
ais present what the possibilities of
the same were.
When Fogel was asked to present
the Eddie Collins cup to the leading
base stcaier OF the league, he not
only scored everybody attached TO
professional baseball. but went for
Connie Mack. He mentioned Sill"
O'Loughln's famous decision that
many have always said cost the Ath-
letics a pennant. and declared that
Mack said harsher things about the
umpire than he ever did.
Fogel was asked to stop, and fin
ally Charley Ehbets. the Brooklyn
owner. became SO angry that he took
the floor and asked the POSTMASTER
pandamonium for a short time, but
Fogel finally sat down, and then Eb-
bets told every one present what the
real facts in the case were Connie
Mack III his diplomatic way poured
oil on the troubled waters and asked
the young men to remember that
FogeI did not know anything about
the American league, anyway. and
that he was not competent TO judge
of what went on in its affairs.
FoIel wanted to reply to each OF
the man who had answered him, but
the POSTMASTER told him that his re-
marks were uncalIed for, and then the
! former president of the Phillies left
| the room in hum.

there might be some squalls, par

THORPE'S CASE BRINGS
WORDS OF SYMPATHY

have picked up quite a little change
on the side in the way OF expense
money,
II do not think that a young fell
low who pays his way through col
lege by playing summer ball should
he disqualified as an amateur. I'm
less he accepts money for competing
in games, unless ne wins money in
competition, / do not sec why his
amateur status should be questioned.
1t is these pseudo-amateurs who
make business Of amateur athletics
that the A. A. A. should get after"
The position taken by Mike Donlin
is one that will commend itself to
many. especially those who are in
terested in the purity OF amateur
athletics. The man who does not make
business of athletics may be re-
garded as pretty fair amateur. AS
Connie Mack says. the only pure anna
teur IS the one whn viii pay another
man for a chance to. play. The next
ardent sportsman. and amateur. is the
one who will pay all his own expenses
in order To compete. The man who
completes for only material prizes is
rot an amateur.
However, Jim Thorpe played pro-
fessional ball. and violated the rules
Of the A. A. t.. his case should
be treated with the same impartiality
that was given the case of Arthur
Duffey. II will not help amateur
athletics for Thorpe TO escape the
extreme penalty, which is disbar-
ment, the biotting out of all his re-
cords and the forfeiture of all the
prizes he has won.

Tales Of the Diamond
Humorous and Otherwise

No young pitcher, yes. even veter-
an twirler, could have given more
mastery exhibition of pitching than
did Hugh Bedient against the New
York Giants. The Red Sox Juvenile
worked as though worlds series
games were exactly to his liking. His
performance in the last baseball clas-
sic will go down in baseball history as
a mighty artistic bit of twirling.
During the regular season Bedient
always took plenty of time in deliver
ing the ball to the batter. Bill Carri-
gan has always approved Of such a
policy. Bill knew 1t tended to make
the batters nervous. and incidentally
helped the youngster TO keep his foot

Giants, Bedient was even more DELHI
crate than usual. He fondled the
ball carefully after receiving 1t from
the catcher. adjusted the landscape
about the pitchers box, took a hitch
in his belt and pulled his cap down
more firmly. In fact. he was very

Manager Who Did
Well First Year

In the case of Frank Chance ii il
not expected that he viii win the pen
nant with the New Yorks this year;
indeed, he will be doing well If he
lands his team in fifth place. Never
theless, there are cases of managers
winning a pennant their first year with
a club, however different may have
been the circumstances In fact,
Chance did IT himself one. His first
year as manager of the Cubs was 1905
and he won the pennant that year..
Jake Stahl's first term as manager
of the Red Sox was last year. when he
not only won a pennant, but world S
championship. In 1850 Arson became
the manager of the old Chicagos, and
also won the pennant In 1900 Fred
Clarke was In Louisville. In 1901 he
Was managing ihe Pirates. and he won
the National League championship the
same season. HanIon came to Brook
iyn as manager in 1899 and won
pennant off the reel.
Griffith was another who did the
trick. He took the management of
the Chicago Americans in 1901 and
took charge of the Detroits in 1905
and at once set out and won PEN
nant. In 1890 Frank Seiee was man
aging in Omaha. The next year he
was the Boston manager and cap
tured first place in the National
league,
1t didn't take long for McGraw
and Mack to get the pennant habit.
McGraw came to New York IN 1901
and won the pennant with the Giants
in 1904. Philadelphia entered the
American league with Mack as man
ager in 1901 and in 1902 Connie won
his first pennant. Hanion won n PEN
nant in Baltimore his second year
there, and Fielder Jones, in his third
year as manager of the White Sox,
won an American league crown.

Between Showers" at the Bijou
last night. was hit with Il house I'LL
ed to overtiowing.
From the start of the farce, there
began a giggle; as 1t progressed the
giggle burst into laughs, and as the
story went through its course applause
from the front row to the back greet
ed the actors.
And the actors were none less than
Charlie Grapewin, his wife, . Anna
Chance (sister OF Frank Chance, the
great baseball mani, Mike Donlin, and
a dozen others.
The story of the play is that OF
spring cleaning, which appeals to ev-
cry man and woman in Richmond and
anywhere else. Spring cleaning comes
once a year. 1t should come oftener,
but there is no time, when other
things are considered.
In a. word, Grapewin. with his
sleeves rolled up, helping his wife to
sweep out the germs and other things
that have accumulated during the
year, with a shower coming up, just
as they have hung out on the front
porch all the rugs and portieres, and
the cumulative evidence that it Is q
bad day, with some visitors coming
in, what would any man or any mar s
wife have done under the circum-
stances?
At any rate, Charlie Grapewin took
chances, and hired a girl to do the
things around the house. and then
there was a mix-up. into which Mike
Donln became a moving figure, and
had, under the condition OF things,
to impersonate 'sTilly." of whom Mrs
Hoover tAnna Chancel became Jeal-
oss, thinking she was in the house at
ho in {ora% re Nr
That is where the complications be-
gan.
Mike Donlin had to take chances
and do the feminine part of the thing
in order to set things straight and after
a whole lot of mix-ups, in which Mrs.
Grapewin threatens to get divorce
from MIR. Grapewin. Title, in the
shape OF Mike Donlin, shows up, and
there you are.
There is nothing TO the story except
a lot of laughs For instance Mrs.
Hoover, in hanging up the pictures,
says TO her husband:
Where shall we hang mother -
Wait a minute" says Mr.. Hoover,
Il will get the rope"
AS matter OF fact, the show is
worth the while Charlie Grapewin
with his facial expressions and his
catchy manner, which always brings
laugh, and Mike DonIin, g famous
/ baseball player, who is not bad as an
actor, and Miss Anna Chance, together
with Garvin Harris, well developed
man and a good actor. and also, To-
/ gether with Katherine Wayne, who
/ does the part of Title Tuttles, the Cos
1 sip, and Miss George Hawley, as the
