The lots in Sixteenth Street Highlands

have been erected all are of an attractive

homes in the suburbs are of frame con-

and hollow-tile houses. This latter type
of construction has proven popular in
the neighborhood. and three houses of

None of the lots in the suburb may be
utilized for business purposes. For the
convenience of the residents of the neigh

set aside a triangular-shaped piece OF
ground at the Intersection of Colorado
avenue and 18th street. where several
stores have been erected. The buildings
are about completed. and soon two of
them are to be occupied by pharmacy
and grocery.
The lots in the suburb range in width
from forty to 100 feet and none is less
than $50 feet deep. In the eastern half
of the suburb there are many fine shade
trees, oaks being the predominating spe-
cies. Shade trees have been set out in the
other portions of the suburb wherever

where the fire house was directly op-
posite the hotel where we were quar-
tered. 1t was late in the evening, and
most of the players had retired to
their rooms. When Waddell saw the
engine leaving the fire house, he
jumped on it and proceeded on the
way with the fremen. One of the
players and myself found the fire was
not far away, and decided to go to it,
and see how Waddell performed in
the capacity of fireman. When we
arrived at the fire. which had attacked
a frame dwelling, we saw "Rube" with
a fireman's helmet on, an ak in his
hand standing up to his ankles in
water, chopping away at the shutters
of the building, and he appeared to be
right in his proper element.
Col. Hedges, owner of the Browns,
once told me story of Waddells
wonderful ability to get money from
his employers that is worth repeating.
'Rube" came to the St. Louis presi-
dent and told him of two cub bears
which were some distance away, and
said he needed 500 to purchase them.
why, RUDE, you don't want those
bears" said Col. Hedges. "They would
be a nuisance I can't give you money
to throw away foolishly."
Waddell began to see the hundred
vanishing. But he did not give up. He
told his boss how he had promised
man that he would buy the bears;
how it would be breach of faith not
to do so, and that his entire future
happiness repended upon the possess
sion of the cubs. Well, of course.
"Rube" finally got the money aad
started away happy.

PITCHER VERY HARD
To HANDLE
Had Many Hobbies ond Did
Not Bother About Con-
dition
BY HARRY DAVIS,

Coach of Worlds Champion Athletics.
The passing away of RUDE Waddell
and Ossie Shrek, probably the most
famous battery in baseball history,
brings to mind "reminiscences of their
playing days, and book could be
written on the subject.
Waddell was pitching for amateur
teams around Pittsburg when | was a
member of the Pittsburg club. The
manager of one of these teams brought
"Rube" to Pittsburg to show his ability
to our club, but he did not appear to be
just the man for Pittsburg. His man
ager was not discouraged, and at last
secured an opportunity for Waddell II
the big league" when he persuaded
Fred Clarke, manager of the Louisville
club, to sign "Rube."
His Interpretation of the rules Of the
club regarding training and discipline
differed from that of the manager, and
sometimes had "Rube" Gin wrong"
When Louisville was dropped from the
twelve club circuit and a number of the
players went to Pittsburg, Wadell was
included, but he disregarded club
rules to such an extent that he was re-
leased and went back to pitching with
clubs around the Smoky City, where
club regulations were not so strict.
Mack Digs Up WaddelL.
Connie Mack, then manager of the
Milwaukee club in the American
League (not yet expanded, was in
need of pitcher, and heard of "Rube"
pitching at Punxsutawney, Pa, and de-
cided to visit that city and interview
him, and if possible, sign him. Connie
had no trouble finding "Rube," who
agreed to return to Milwaukee with
Mack, but first he must settle his af-
fairs and bid some friends farewell.
Some few debts were settled and
they started for the train. After arriy-
ing at ne station "Rube" remembered
he had his watch at a repair shop, and
Connie produced the change for the
shopkeeper and awaited his return to
the train. "Rube" returned with sew
eral friends and Connie began to have
visions of trouble, as he saw them ap-
preaching. His fears soon passed away,
however, as Waddells friends had
come to meet Connie and tell him they
were pleased that Waddell was leaving,
and wished Connie and "Rube" Good
by and good luck"

ed, but without the bears. Col. Herges
asked him where they were.
well, you see one of the poor little
cubs died" said the pitcher, and, do
you know, the other little fellow was
SO heartbroken over the loss of his
brother that l could not stand to
bring him so far away from his
home"
Col. Hedges only laughed. He knew
the result beforehand, but wanted t.
see just what sort of a story "Rube'
would frame up.
Waddell had kind and lovable dis
position, which showed itself in many
ways. If friend in need applied to
him for assistance, he was never turn
ed away. He could always find a way
to help friend in some manner or
other. He showed quite a fondness
for children, and any small boy with
a baseball could induce him to stop
and toss the ball with him, and it al
ways seemed a pleasure for him to
show the small boys how he curved
the ball; how he held the ball for his
IN and out shoots, and he took great
delight in instructing them in what
ever they desired to know. On more
than one occasion he was late arriving
at the ball park because he had stop
ped to umpire ball game between
boys who were playing on one of the
back lots.
Not Companions OFF Field.
1t seems to be rather general i'm
precision that Waddell and Schreck
were boon companions off the field, as
- ~ w vi CLAC lClu. L lis was uOI 80,
"Rube" seldom went anywhere with
one Of the ball players. He preferred
to travel with the many friends he
had who were in no way connected
with the game Schreck only went
along when Waddell was asked to
bring his catcher with him, and that
might not happen more than once or
twice in a season.
1t seems remarkable coincidence
that these two strong, well-built men
should have ended their careers so
suddenly, and from the same ailment,
and within a few months of each 9TH
er.
