NEW YORK. June z3.-Leach Gross,

performed a very creditable come

was knocked down for the full count
by Wall street three years ago.
Leach, by practicing frugality. and
by holding up fight promoters for the
near limit OF their bank rolls, managed
to gather about sac, 600 unto himself by
the year A. D. 1910. And then some
friend. got an audience with Leach
and told him how easy il would be
for him to take that $4,000 down TO
Wall street. leave it linger there for q
few months. and then bring IL back
with anywhere from 100000 to $1.eoo.-
600 IN addition.

Leach. Il stuck around Wall street for

Bingles And

BY GRANTLAND RICE.

The half-gods of destiny have
done their part Of it in behalf of
Frank Moran. They have set the
stage for stunning surprise, and
such a surprise could only come in
a Moran victory.
The half-gods of fate who arrange
such advance matters have brought
johnson to his first real champion
ship test since the Jeffries over
throw. And they have brought him
on in year that has been indigo
and ashes to all champions con-
cerned. Furthermore, Johnson is
about due. 1t is now only a ques-
tion of show soon.' The end of
his journey in any event can't be far
away. He reached the top of the
hill four years ago. He has been
moving toward the valley ever since,
and it is merely a matter of meeting
the first man coming up.

Who is leading the league in
stolen bases? No, not Zeb Milan,
though the peerless performer of
the Griffmen is close up to the lead
er. The boy out in front is Fritz
Maisel, the midget third baseman of
the New York Yankees, and he bids
fair to be up there when the season
ends, too.
Fritz Maisel was unheard of this
time last year. At that time he
was playing with Jack Dunn's Bal
timore Internationals, and putting
up a great game, too. His fielding
was excellent, his hitting fair, and
his base running great, just great,
that's all. So Frank Chance got
busy.
How much do You want for Maisel?"
said the Yankee leader TO the fiery boss
Don't want anything" was the
short reply. he's the best player I've
got"

League, and Ezra Midkiff. Midkiff can
play a mighty good game at third for

Midkifr and Daniels. you can have him.
He'll be n star for you. make no mis-
take about that"
It's n bargain. You can havo Mid
blank check"
So little Fritz Maisel. a Baltimore
boy left home to play in the big show.
And he made good from the jump. For
four or five days he failed to get n
hit but Chance kept him at third.
Finally he began to hit and finished
the season of 1872 with batting aver
age OF .257 for fftv-nne games. His
mark in the International League was
.2E2 and Frank chance thinks he can
make Il go hitter out of him yet.
But the best thing Ma'sel did in New
York was to steal twenty-five cushions
in his nfty-one games. This was a
better average than Milan had. for Ieb
annexed but sevcnty-toHr IN ~ Ehihes.
Right then Frank Chance predicted for
bis little thlrdsacker the Leadership of
the LEAGUE in l9li ana me H"uhEster u

In forty-nine games this year, Malsel
has swired twenty-thrce bases. In fifty

eighteen. So YOU can easily see tho

entry had less.
II Moran IS so per cent of first-class
