Hughie Lets Demmitt and Gain
er GO-Mack Sends Jimmy
Walsh TO Yankees
LIKE TO SEE SECOND
DIVISION CLUBS WIN
Every Time They Beat a Top
Notcher Hughie and Connie
Chuckle Up Their Sleeves
BY RALPH l.. YONKER.

Hughie Jennings and Connie Mack
have pulled the same trick to aid the
weak clubs OF the American league
70 beat the strong clubs that they
fear.
Both Jennings and MsIR have re-
leased men of major league cahoeF
this season to other. clubs eFeH-S'
the expense of strength taken from
their own clubs. In every case the
man released was one VINO could not
be of any definite value 10 the team
holding him He was an extra man
on the Tigers or the Athletics but
good enough TO get regular job with
weaker club. .... .....
Jennings released Ray Demmitt TO
the White Sox early in the season
and shortly after he let BET GaTHer
90 70 the Boston Red Sox. Demmltt
started hitting fine and there was the
usual criticism about Hughes having
let him go. Gamer worked fairly Wen
for the Sox until he sprung a charley
horse that has kept him out recently;
Contrary 10 what might be expect
ed, Manager Jennings always hkes 10
see the men he ships TO other AmeTl-
can league clubs do we'll. He would
naver let a man go TO club that he
feared in the league race and he
wants TO see the weaker clubs win all
the games they can from the stronger
ones,
When a man from a club Ike the
Tigers strengthens a weak club he Is
doing just as much harm 10 the II
gers rivals as he is 10 the Tigers,
Demmitt has won several games for
the White Sox. One OF them was
from the Tigers. That, by the way,
Is the only game the Sox have taken
from the Bengals, while they have lost
nine. The other games that Demmitt
won for the Sox we're from clubs that
the Tigers are battling.
The same applies TO Gamer. The
more he can help the Red SoX the bet
ter Jennings will like il, for the Sox
are considered 10 have no chance Tor
the pennant Every game they win
from the Athletics and Senators is so
much velvet for the Tigers.
The White Sox took two OF their
games from the Athletics at Philadel-
phia. They defeated Washington once
at Washington. Demmitt was instru-
mental in all these victories.
Boston has defeated both the Ath-
letics and Washington several times
since Gamer joined them and he had
HIS part in the victories.
Jimmy Walsh, outhelder. is the man
that Connie Mack allowed TO 80 to a
weaker club this year when he found
that he didn't need him. NJ :cR sent
Walsh to the Yankees Every game
that New York wins from Detroit and
Washington will be duly appreciated
by Mr.. Mack.

Coon Story Points Moral

Here is a true raccoon story that might which shows how overindul- gence in the flowing bowl on the part of the ''old man. brought ruin to whole happy family of those ami mals. says the Washington Star.
 A Washington family early this fallt Was located in camp in northern New Hampshire and were bothered greatly by noctural visitors, but just what they were could not be exactly determiued ' A trap was set and baited just back Of the camp with no result, although every night the noises on the back porch continued. Whatever the ami mals were. it was plain they were wise ones about traps
 One night the kitchen doors had been left open so that the camp cats could go in and out Next morning the kitchen floor was covered with tracks and likewise the oilcloth- -coveredI shelves. and. in the middle of a big bowl of sugar was the track of a big coon.
 The lady of the house had been making some homemade cherry bounce. and another bowl that had contained more than quart of the sweet, rich pulp, fairly rocking with brandy. was licked clean
 Naow, kin tell ye what's been a. going on" said an old lumberman who sometimes visited the campers, and who, in his youth. had been great trapper and hunter. This here is probly a hull family of coons-fathcr, r'other and young 'uns, that hain't separated yit and the old man is a fcXy one and steers the rest on 'em away from your trap But l call<er- late. he'll be right full today and. won't Ketch holt of him tonight. If ye' can once git him. the old lady and the fcol young 'uns won't have nobody to steer 'em away from trouble and We might git 'em all"
 Sure enough. it came out exactly asl he said, the trap was baited up in fine style and we'll concealed and at day light next day there was an old doe coon growing and spittin. held fast by hls foreleg which. however he had gnawed nearly through. Another 10 minutes and he'd have been gone He weighed just 26 pounds
 The trap was reset. according to the old fellows advice. and. as he had prophesied, the next six nights saw the three nearly grown sons caught in the same trap in or about the same place.
 The Washingtonians were packing up tc go then, but the old native said: You hain't got the old woman yit. and I guess it'll be good deal of a oEore to git her, but I'm a-goin' to keep on trying. after you leave" It was never learned. however, whether or not he succeeded
 The Washingtonians had in return Tor many favors received in the past given all four of the Trapped animals to the old man. whose family enjoyed them hugely. Today the heavy glossy skin of 'paterfamilias" nicely tanned, came to town as a Christmas present from him to the lady of the house.
 It's a regular temperance lecture, af- ter all The old man wouldn't leave . it alone. his home is broken up. and his wife. if alive. is childless widow.
