William went to Washington to
close for Outhelder Long and Pitch

fine Fudge Grapevine Info Bureau"
whispers it to us that William

perfected plans whereby he will get
a swell catcher, too. 1t will prob

If smith has landed frst-class

Lacquer, writing for The
y Commercial Appeal, tells some
amusing yarns Of freak happenings
in the Southern league. Here are
couple of them:
Scrap Iron Beecher, who could
handle a baseball like a monkey
does a cocoanut, being able to catch
ball behind him or in almost any
position, was playing third one day
when a high foul fly was knocked
near third base. Lie on your back
and catch it," some one suggested
to Beecher, and the request was no
sooner made than Beecher fell to
his back. with the result that the
ball hit him in the chest and nearly
caved in a couple Of Stats.
Beecher would do anything he
was told and it was the cause of a
player drawing his release from the
Memphis club. One day Beecher
was on third, with the Memphis
club several runs behind, when
Winnie French, who was coaching,
said to Scrap, GO on and steal
home; you can make it easily"
Beecher started in and was out so
far that Fox the New Orleans
catcher had 10 walk up the line to
touch him Whistler was crazy an
cry, and that night released French.
This French was quite a charac-
ter, and one winter he stayed in
Hot Springs during the off season.
In the Arkansas resort at that time
were numerous pool rooms taking
the races which We're running then

Winnie Immediately became a bug
on form and prices. When he re-
ported to Memphis that spring, the
first thing he did was to make
book on the chances of the players
trying out Of sticking with the club
as regulars, and his prices were
funny
To show you that he didn't think
badly Of French. he made himself

Louis grocer and been one of the
reasons why French was so quickly
decorated with the tinware.

CLARK GRIFFITH is on a wide

Athletics first sacker. Griffith had
a 800 bet that the Senator's would
beat out the Philly crew and, ac-
cording to reports, Stuffy has failed
to remit.

DODGERS WANT REGULAR
SPRING CAMP IN GEORGIA

NEW YORK, Jan. bad Bill Dab
len, manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers,
has returned from a trip through Geor-
gia in search of a suitable training camp
for Ebbet's team. He looked over three
places, but refuses to say where they were
located. 1t is Dahlens idea to make ar
rangements for a long-term lease, which
will be coupled with an agreement with
some hotel to house the players each
spring at a fixed rate.

given her a cent of the money, she
had no where to go and she didn't
know what she would do. The farm
er, Anthony Fender, was so deeply
touched that he took Margaret to
his home and placed her in the tend
er care of his wife until he could
investigate her story.
Meanwhile, Margaret's family, and
especially her mother, were worry
ing over her absence and had mott
fed the police, but no trace of Mar
garet could be found and the disap-
pearance threatened to become the
usual mystery, when homesickness
prompted the little girl-for a girl
of 16 is still a little girl'-to write
to her cousin and asked that the
cousin 'let the folks know"
Tuesday morning Mrs. Walsh con-
veyed the glad tidings that she knew
where Margaret was to the police.
They informed her that Juvenile Of
ficer VIM. McDermott was in charge
Of the case, but a telegram would be

At II o'clock, Mrs. Shaw, growing
impatient for news, telephoned to the
police and was told her daughter
would be in the Juvenile Court at
o'clock.
However, Margaret wasn't there
then, and McDermott, when finally
located, said something about it
costing $50" and legal complica-
lions" and other airy nothings which
convinced the mother that if she
wanted Margaret she would have to
make the trip herself
Wednesday afternoon Mrs. Shaw
brought Margaret home.

SPEED SYSTEM DRIVES GIRL
FROM HER HOME


Margaret Shaw is not yet 16,
though she has worked in factories
for quite little while. Her last job
was with c. w. Braithwaite Co., 612
Canad street, who hired her at $3.50
week and discharged her at the
end of the first week because ''she
wasn't fast enough" when they tried
to speed her up.
This way the first job Margaret
had lost for such a reason and she
didn't know how to break the news
to her parents, so she concluded
Thursday night when she took her
pay envelope home, she wouldn't
say anything about it-at least-not
yet.
Friday morning did not find her
with any more courage, SO she left
her home at '2639 w. 23d street at
the usual hour, and walked the
streets all day.
But she hadn't any more courage
Friday night-in fact, she had less.
The more she thought over the dis
grace" of being fired, the more ter
I1ble 1t seemed and the less possible
to tell about it.
So she started out again at the
usual time on Saturday morning.
But she had a definite purpose on
Saturday. There wasn't any use
hunting a job; she couldn't find one
Neither could she keep on going out
in the morning and returning home
at night unless there was a job.
Neither could she tell about the dis
grace"
So she was running away.
She rode on a car as-far as La
Grange, then she walked aimlessly
along the country road until she !
grew hungry.
Hunger is a condition that justifies |
any expedient to relieve, so Margaret |
accosted a farmer, found she was in
Napierville, Ill, told him a story of |
