Fans frequently wonder why play
er who makes. a good record in the
lninor leagues year after year cannot
hold his own in the big show. I have
had them ask me often: Tim Jordan.
once the Brooklyn first. haseman, is
of. this type. Tim can hit hard and
field pretty we'll, but one play put him
out of the league and has kept him
out, He is weak in throwing to bases
when he has to shoot it quick and he
/ is particularly weak on quick throw
to second.
Players got so that when they reach
ed first base they would take long
lead of about ten or twelve feet in
order to get the pitcher to throw over
and catch them of The pitcher
would take the bait and the base run.
ner would break for second base. Then
Tim would have to make that throw
and it was seldom he could hit with
in so feet of the bag The ball would
generally go out into left field and
the runner would reach third. It got
to be so that a pitcher would not
throw over to Jordan, because he
knew that as soon as he did the run,
ner would cut loose for second. This
did a good deal to getting Tim out
of the league. "-..- .
Who Forced Out MerkIe2
After John Evers and Hank O'Day had
it back and forth during the world e
series quite a controversy started in
Chicago as it which man should have
| credit for the touching of second base
the day in 1898 that Merkle was
forced out when he broke for the club
house. AODay declares that Holman
the center fielder of the Cubs at that
time, should get the credit, since he
threw the ball in, and O'Day made
his decision on the ground that Joe
McGinnity interfered when he grabbed
the ball and tossed it into the crowd
behind third base, where Tinker and
Steinfeldt recovered 1t and threw il
to second, Eyers getting the putout
It is my opinion that Evers should
get the credit, for 1t was his quick
brain that called for the bali as soon
as il was hit and he saw Merkle die
across the outfield There is ques-
! ton in my mind as to whether the
ball ever would have been thrown

By oHRIsTY MATHEwsoN.

Baseball is full of little stories that
come to the ears of player but not
to the public, and / should think the
fans might be interested in a few of
them Here is one that Johnny Eyers
told me when he was in New York
last week to, see George Stallings
make his debut in vaudeville.
Il was sitting In the back row of the
grandstand at Shibe park in Philadel'
phia on the last day of the American
league season, watching the Athletics
play the Yankee" said Johnny mo
one was near me in the stand when
Chief Bender came stalking along be;
hind the seats. He wore the smile
ION his face that every ball player
knows When he got behind me he
tapped me on the shoulder and !
looked around. =, y .l.ss..- = -.,~.z- "a, i
rsOh, it's you, is it% said the chief.

ing for ~. B.. .:.r.f w. : T
He talked for a minute, and then
he added: -.. =-.. ~
There he is, over in that corner,
now. IL
man, who went to the back of the
stand with the Indian, where they
talked for some time. Now / am pref
ty sure that Bender did not have any
thing bet on the series, for few ball
players will gamble since they know
how uncertain the game is. But be
lieve Bender made this play just to
show how confident he felt and to let
me know he was ready to risk his
money. don't see why he made it
to an old bird like me, though, because
he ought to know that that sort of
stuff would not make any difference
in my case. The stand was full OF
youngsters on the Boston club at the
time and I should think Bender would
have made the play to them, il that
is what it was" concluded Evers.
Sherwood Maeee az Comedian +
One OF the funniest men in baseball
is Sherwood Magee and he Is quick to
turn thing to his advantage. Magee
was playing in game one day and
was not hitting very well. He came
up to the plate and got couple OF
fast balls that he missed. Then the
pitcher gave him a couple of bad ones
that herefused to offer at. The twirl-
er used good judgment and came on
the next pitch with a slow ball, wen
covered. Magee was up there all set
for fast one and the slow ball had
him hanging on his toes all out of
position to hit and on his balance. I.

swing at the pill in an effort to foul

tracted Hofman's attention. Johnny
has that ball carefully put away with
other trophies in his home at Troy.
Evers Loyal to Troy.
Evers' home town is loyal to the
Braves second baseman. He tells the
story of two friends of his who went
to Philadelphia to see the first game
of the worlds series. After theItrip
had been financed they had $40. left
between them and they pooled this
and bet it against $3.50 that Boston
would win. the first game. It, was a
risky thing to do because the loss of
that $40 meant to them the loss of
their combined savings. ...~F $3.50 ..
When they won the $3.50, they shot
it on the Braves the next day against
$500. After this they were forced to
go back to Troy to work and did not
see the games in Boston. But they
had shown their loyalty to Johnny,
for they had backed his team with
their all, and they were highly salts
fed .s.-.-r.- - H.. -.
Evers is a type of player Of which
baseball should be proud. He has
made his own way against tremend.
Gus odds and yet his success has new
er pulled him away from his old
friends, the boys he knew when be
worked in a collar factory and later
when he played for little money with
the Troy team of the state league.

SURGEONS KNIVES SCARE BOY
ing Operated Upon BY
Physician.

Norristown, Pa.-When John Mosko-
vltz, a Pottstown boy, was arraigned
before Judge William F. Solly for lar
ceny physicians impressed upon the
jurist the idea that the boy was not
responsible for his criminal tendency,
but that it was due to pressure on
the brain caused by blow from a club
his father had thrown into a chestnut
tree. The court agreed TO suspend SEN
tence and try the experiment of an
operation. So the boy was sent to the
State Institution for Feeble-M Minded
Children at Spring City, with the idea
of having an operation performed.
But the lad had no sooner been safe
ly slowed In the asylum than he took
leave. He was captured In Chester
county and was brought to the Jail
here and locked up. 1t is understood
that Judge Solly will now sentence
him to Imprisonment instead Of the
scalpel.

PAYDAY FOR REBELS
Methods Used in Paying OFF Car
ranza's Troops.
lII-Ciad Men Wait In Line for Their
Miserable Stipend, Which Is Soon
Spent for Candy, Mescal and
Cigarettes
By JOHN X. WiNkLER.

Tampico.-One of the most amusing
manifestations of martial law life in
Tampico these days is furnished when
the rebel soldiers are paid off.
One morning watched the men of
crack" company of the Third regi-
ment receiving their daily stipend OF
one peso. The company consisted OF
10 men and two boys. The boys wore
shoes. So did some Of the men. Two
of the men we're attired in costume
that might have passed for a uniform.
Each sported a pair Of khaki trousers
and shirt. The undershirts of the
other men were symphony in colors
Vivid carmine Wed with imperial Ro-
man purple.
The company was drawn up on the
veranda of the customs house. The sol
diers carried their rifles. some on their
right shoulders, some on their left.
One of the boys, who could not have
passed the age of ten, had sawed on
half the barrel of his rife. 1t was still
too heavy and he held it between his
legs while he rolled cigarette.
The company paymaster was the
second lieutenant He squatted on
the steps in front of his men and
thumbed a tiny pile of new one-peso
constitutionalist notes. He called the
roll from a penciled list and-shades
of West Point,-he maintained his
sprawlng position while he did.
While their names were being read
the demon warriors stood in line
about as straight as a "punkin' vine.
Some scratched furtively at their tat
tered trouser legs. Others stolidly
smoked their cigarettes and fat-foot-
eddy dumped forward when their
names were called. They examined
the money carefully on both sides,
rubbed their hands over its surface,
rolled it up in tiny ball and tightly
clinched their fists over 1t.
Impatiently they maintained the
line formation until all had been paid.
Then, the two boys leading. the entire
company scurried over to the market
place. The soldier kids invested their
money in large sticky gobs of hy-laden
sweets, while the men bought mescal
and cigarettes.
Within half an hour most of the re-
doubtable warriors were stretched
along the railroad track. In the shade
of Line of freight cars. In sweet and
blissstl slumber-slumber that would
be voluntarily disturbed only when
another pay morning rolled around.
These pay mornings, by the way.
are by no means daily affairs. Very
often the soldiers must rest content
to receive nothing for a fortnight.
Their stipend depends upon variety
of things-chief of which is the
amount of constitutional money en-
graved and shipped from the interior.
Also. very often the officers and
men must wait until sufficient "volun-
tary" contributions and loans" have
been made to the cause by the citizens
of Tampico and foreign business men.
Strange to say, the voluntary" con-
tributions come almost invariably
from townfolk, who are known In the
past to have been friendly with the
federals.
