Scarcely day slips by without add
ing to the fund of reasons why Connie
Mack has been so successful in his
efforts to land star baseball players.
The primary reason for his success
undoubtedly is that he insists con-
stantly on increasing his number of
friends and the number of folks have
cause to be grateful for some favor
done by him.
The career of Joe Jackson furnishes
one of the striking examples. Charley
Frank, New Orleans manager, is spon-
sor for this tale. Connie had control
of Joe's actions from the time that
Joe first showed signs of glistening.
When Joe refused to play in Philadel-
phia, Connie turned him over to Sa-
vannah, but with the understanding
that Joe still was under his control.
New Orleans was next in line. Con-
ME turned Joe over to the Pelicans.
Boss Frank, of the local club insisted
on paying some money for Joes serv-
ices.
NO" answered Connie. "He may
prove failure. We can better afford
to lose the money than have you lose
it."
But take $500 anyway" insisted
Frank. I'D like to gamble On him.
He may prove a great star"
well, If he doesn't" answered Con-
ME, so much the better. But we
don't want thing for him"
Get the result of the good feeling

COY DoLAN NOW A PIRATE
lncapacltated by WlId-Eyed Youth on
Atlanta Team Who Spiked Him
In Sliding to Third.

Cozy Dolan, turned loose by the
Yankees last year, who now is max
ing good with the Pittsburgh Pirates,
offers an explanation of why he wasn't
able to play up to his best form under
Wolverton.
ut was while the Yanlzs were train
ing in the south last spring" says
Dolan, that l met with the accident
which drove me back to the minors.
We we're playing against the Atlanta
club and had the team beaten by some
thing like 13 to l. In the ninth In
ming a young fellow came tearing into
third base.
Il had him out easily, but he was
wild-eyed chap and slid straight for
me. l wasn't looking for such play
under such circumstances. felt the
jar as his foot struck my leg. but
didn't feel any pain and merely
gave the youngster the laugh. for his
foolishness.
When | was walking to the dress
ing room | felt the blood running down
my leg. The young fellows spikes
had opened a V-shaped cash In my
left leg below the knee. Strange
enough. / couldn't find any hole in the
stocking where the spikes had gone
through, That injury kept me on the
field for several weeks.
After we went north my leg was
still in bad shape. / tried to play a
game or two. but did so poorly that
Wolverton had to let me out. Here
after ] intend to keep my eyes on
runners coming into the bag. no mat
ter how much the team am playing
on is ahead.
After Dolan went to Rochester his
leg got somewhat better, and in a
short time he was one of the best base
runners in the international league.
At the end he led the organization
with good margin to spare. and is
now exhibiting the same speed In the
camp Of the Pirates

young woman did not deny her sex,
admitting that she had donned

from hospital at San Francisco. She

engendered by Comics line of argu-
ment. He virtually made lifelong
friend out of Frank The New Orleans
magnate became deeply indebted to
the Athletic chief When Jackson
finally did develop Frank could not
be SO ungrateful as to refuse to give
Connie the first chance at Jackson's
services.
In giving the facts for the founda-
ton of that tale Frank indirectly re-
vealed for the first time, that Joe
Jackson probably is entitled to be list
ed as one of the highest priced young
fellows ever drawn from a minor
league club.
Those with keen knowledge about
baseball affairs will remember the SEN
sation created by Jackson prior to his
removal to the Cleveland club, Joe
was the most discussed minor league
player in the country in 1910. G. w.
Murphy, owner of the Cubs, threw the
first real shot at Charley Frank in the
shape of a message offering $4,000
for the Carolina wonder.

move was to get message to Con-

IF you've been offered $4,000 by
Murphy. don't take $4,000 for him. "

pers, books and worthless documents.
Smith, who was employed there at the
time, knew that the heap contained in
teresting baseball data and proceeded
to rummage through the pile. In the
clump were the aforementioned con-
tracts, which he quickly fshed out
and stored in his collection of baseball
information.
Perhaps 1t never has been told to
the public what Arson received as
manager of the Chicago White Stock
ings In the year 1888. The amount
which is related here will settle lot
of arguments. When he attached his
signature to a document in 1883 he did
so for a sum of $1,000. That was as
a player. Seven hundred dollars was
added for acting as captain and man
ager. That is surprising when it is
considered that in 1887. the year be-
fore. Arson finished the year with a
batting average Of .421.
Salaries began to go up when the
Brotherhood league was organized.
