SHAFER SORE ON GIANTS
BECAUSE THEY PANIED SNODCRASS
Had Hot Argument With Players After Final
Worlds Series Game

Los Angeles. Cal, Jan. 31--Arthur
Shafer. better known in the big
leagues as TflIy Shafer, admitted yes
terday that his reason for not signing
a New York contract was not due to
a salary difference with Manager
McGraw OF the Giants, but to an I'M
pleasant aftermath of the Worlds
Series last fall,
After the final game of the series
there was a scene in the Boston club
house which caused Shafer to decide
to retire from professional baseball
The direct cause of the crack utility.
uaayer5s retirement may be traced to
the fly ball muffed by Fred Snod-
grass, which m11ff was in a measure
responsible for the downfall Of the
Giants in the big series.
According to a friend of Skaters
the player said after the game that
he never would return to the Giants.
The story told by Skaters friend is
that there was a near-rtot among the
Giants when the uever-to- e-forgot-
ten series was over Several members
OF the Giants went for Suodgrass
after the deciding game and told him
in strong language he was respon-
sIble for the loss of the series.
They cast reflections on the centre
helder's gameness. and even went
further than that. Shafer, who at
tended St. Wincent's College in this
city with Snodgrase, rushed to his
friends assistance, and defied Snod-
grass tormentors. He told them
The Bridgeport evening farmer. [volume] (Bridgeport, Conn.) 1866-1917, 1913-01-31

they ought to be ashamed of them
selves for the things they said to
Snodgrass, and haunted them by ask
ing if they had never made errors.
The argument grew hot, and though
no blows were struck, according to
the story, it took some Of the cooler
and older heads Of the team to pre-
vent q general nfx-up. Shafer is ma
turally a Quick-tenpered young man,
and during the argument he told the
men who accused Snodgrass that he
never would play on the same team
with them again.
Shafer the next day left New York
for Los Angeles in a huff, without
saying goodby to several of his team
mates. and he told intimate friends
on the team he would not be back.
Shafer has not changed his mind in
the matter since then, and according
to his friends, still gets angry when
ever he thinks of the Worlds Series.
Skaters own words about the Snod-
grass incident were: eft was one of
the most outrageous things I ever,
saw, and turned me against profess
sionai baseball
Shafer refuses to name the players
who censured Snodgrass, but Shafer
is warm in his praise for Manager
McGraw and Christy Mathewson.
Shafer is wealthy in his own name
and played baseball only because Of
his intense liking for the game. His
mother left him $16O.000 when she died
last summer

.PLANK'S HOLD OUT
WORRIES ATHLETICS

Philadelphia Jan. so.-Eddie P1ank's
refusal to answer the letters sent to
him by the Athletics management this
winter has caused an unusual amount
of worrimeHt among the SIaibe park
officials. Plank often intimated dur
ing the last campaign that he in
tended to quit the game, for he sa1fed
away enough money to retire comfort
ably on
Eddie owns a farm of many acres
in Gettysburg, Pa, and it is paying
him enough to enable him to quit
baseball without facing any financial
embarrassment.
If Plank retires, it will be a SERIOUS
blow to Connie Mack The veteran
Iefthander, the only pitcher whom
Mack could really depend upon last
year, actually kept the club going
when Bender, Coiombs. Morgan and
the two youngsters. Brown and
Bouck were wobbling through the
games.
Eddie is always in condition to
pitch, and Mack has often declared
him to be the best left hapder, taking
everything into consideration, that the
game has developed. Unless Plank
signs quickly. Mack intends to- hurry
to the famous battlefield to talk cover
matters with Sir Edward.

SAILOR WHITE FOULED
BY VIC MCLAUGHLIN

The main event in the heavyweight
tournament at the Forty-fourth Street
Club. New York, last night between
Sailor White and Vic Mclaughlin,
ended rather suddenly in the third
round. when White went to the floor,
claiming that he had been hit low.
He was pinned on the lower rope in
sitting position when he was struck.
The blow landed low, unquestienably,
not very badly hurt. He was on his
feet a minute after he claimed the
foul ana wanted to whip everybody in
sight. He hoped out of the ring then
and strutted away as if nothing had
happened.
Up to the time that he made his
claim he had received all the worst of
the going. He was dropped fairly in
the first round with a right cross to
the jaw. He took the full count be-
fore he got up. He was thoroughly
beaten as far as the bout went.

baseball is untrue" said Dreyfuss
yesterday. "a statement like that
puts sour club in bad all over the
manship. The Pittsburgh club Off
Gals were sorry to see Thorpe lose
his hard-earned laureIs because he
played professional baseball in some
little league in the bushes.
The Pittsburgh club never tried to
get Thorpe either last summer or
since he confessed he is a pTofes-
offer to Thorpe, and was never in
any way interested in his anna eur
standing. We have a good pitching
staff now and are enough of an at
traction not to need any headliners
like Thorpe to help us draw crowds
when we go on the road
Billy Murray, the Pirates scout,
also was wrought up over the Thorpe
incident "a Pittsburgh scout is ac-
cussd of exposing Thorpe so that he
would have no other alternative than
Murray. That is. a nice thing to
write about a man, for the Pittsburgh
scout referred to is myself. I know
lots of nice boys who go to college
and play summer ball, I would be the

Carney. He is looked upon down that

One writer says of Carney:
Catcher Bill Carney of the Avoca
team, known as the 19-year-old WON
der of. the Wyoming Amateur League
has been signed in New London in the
Eastern Association. Garvey is an
Avoca, boy and his many friends will
be pleased to hear that his playing
has attracted the attention of profas-
sional teams. He received four offers,
but decided to accept the one rendered
him by the New London manage
ment.
f'Garvey is one of the most promis-
ing amateur eatchers produced in
this vicinity in years. He has dandy
arm and a wise head. Besides this he
is fast and can hit so that he has
everything in his favor in going
higher.
Carney is but Is years of age, and
besides having been with the Avoca
team, he also made the first catching
position on the East Stroudsburg
State Normal school team last season.
In the 80 games in which he played
he had a batting average of .495.
which is some hitting in any league,
and he should be good for well around
