MOST PLAYERS ARE
KNOWN BY MECHANICS
Desire ior Breyity Cause Writers
to Change Nomenclature OF
Ball TOsSerS.

AS a rule the name by which a
baseball player is known to the box
score has belonged to him from the
day of his birth, but the handles pre-
fixed to the surnames of diamond eX-
perts often bear not the slightest re-
lationship to the ones by which they
were clistened.
Nearly everybody knows that the
famed manager of the present world S
champions was labeled Cornelius
McGillicuddy until he broke into
baseball, and that his tag was short
ened to Connie Mack by players and
writer's in sheer desperation at the
thought of using so much breath and
space every time he was spoken OF
or written Of. Then there was Ossie
Shreck, the former Athletic catcher,
whose full! name was Schrencengost,
and the White SoX have backstop
whose complete title is something
like .Bloockowitzch. For years Gene
Demontreville, the veteran shortstop
was known by the first two sylables
of his name.
In such cases the desire for brevi-
ty was the sole cause for the chang
ed nomenclature. The Cubs have a
catcher in Dick Cotter who started
his professional career as Carter, be-
cause he was DESTROYS of retaining
his amateur status in Manhattan col
lege while playing summer baseball
He appears in the official records OF
the national commission as Garter.
A similar case is that OF Eddi Collins,
of the worlds champions, who broke
into baseball as Nichols" and went
to the Mackmen under that name.
A more unusual case is that OF
Warhop, the Yankee pitcher. He is
a genuine Celt by the name of Elem
ing, but he posed as an Indian while
pitching with the Nebraska Indians
some years ago, and took the .raMe
under which he gained his reputation
to help sustain the illusion. Sam
Strang's right name was Nicklen. but
on account of parental objections to
professional baseball he used his
middle name for Identification pur-

Chapter XIV.

No account Of the career and
achievements of Rev. w. A. Sunday
would be complete or accurate unless
it made full recognition of the part
Mrs Sunday has had in both. So
nearly coincidental are the Christian
ministry and the married life of Mr..
Sunday that a separation of the two
Is almost impossible. 1t is doubtful
IL either of the couple realize the
amount the other has contributed to
the success of the work.
Mr.. Sunday was married about q
year after his conversion, but before
he began actual evangelical work.
Mrs. Sunday, therefore. began married
life as the wife of a baseball player.
This involved q certain amount OF
travel and a variety Of associations
vastly different from those which
were to become her everyday expe-
rience.
To the thousands and thousands
who have set beneath the spell of Mr..
Sundays voice, Mrs. Sunday is affec-
tionately known as Ma" Nothing
could be more effective and at the
same time a finer compliment to the
woman than the manner in which Mr..
Sunday is wont to introduce her to his
audience. After he has presented the
assistants, and the choir leader. and
the soloists, and the instrumentalist
he will usually end by that terse
phrase "and this In Ma"
1t means everything to the evangef
list In public and In private he Is
generous in his acknowledgment Of
the important part she plays In all
his work. Essentially she is his busi-
ness manager. practically she is the
buffer which comes between the

ton with MS residence.
Mrs. Sunday and I always call 1t out
our $4,000 home said he, because the
booze crowd have advertised 1t from
one end of the country to the other that
that is what I paid for It. The truth Of
the matter is it cost me exactly $500. and
l spent about 81 900 in addition for inte-
rior decorations. So 1t is an investment
of just about 5000. exactly one-eighth OF
the amount charged against me by the
booze gang
1--WE think we have 1t right cozy here,
mamma and T. said Sunday as he drop
ped into an easy chair near the door
"A thorough search of the dictionary
would not bring forth a more appropriate
work to describe the Sunday home in
terror and exterior, than 'cozy.'
1T is ideally planned and 80 filled with
pretty things that you want to ask the
evangelist IL he has ever been tempted to
remain at home for the balance of his
days.
THE question unasked. was answered
indirectly a short time after when Mrs.
Sunday volunteered the information that
papa always dreaded to think of leaving
It again after q rest there.

In September, 1913, the Sundays
celebrated their silver wedding ami
yersary, and press dispatches thus de
scribed the event:
BILLY Sunday and wife reached thu
twenty-fifth year of their married life or
September 5th and they celebrated the
event quietly but happily at winons
Lake. A number Of their friends called
at the Sunday home during the day and
offered their congratulations on their sill
yer wedding anniversary. MIR. and Mrs.
Sunday received congratulatory messages
from friends and admirers in all parts OF
the country
The evangelist is just as devoted to hia
wife today as he was quarter of q cen.
fury ago when he was counting ma then
Nell, in Chicago. while he played on the
old Chicago White Sox baseball team.
Billy always has an eye for the comfort
of Mrs. Sunday wherever they go and II
his wife Is not at his side he Is continu-
ally inquiring of her whereabouts.
Mrs. Sunday has business ability rare
~ given to women and can conduct the
Affairs Of her husband evangelist better
than he himself. according to his OWE
confession
His little peculiarities. what he likes,
what he dislikes, how things should be
conducted are known to her and she al
ways makes every possible effort to SEQ
that accommodations are suitable to his
comfort.
Mrs. Sunday has that same tact that
enables woman to accomplish great re-
suits while apparently moving in even
ideal one Of Christian companionship and
they have thus joyously passed their all
yer wedding and are working on hand
to hand and hearts attuned to the sweet
distant chimes Of golden wedding bells"
Until the last trumpet has sounded
the world win never know how much
Of what il accredited to Evangelist w.

wearied assistant both In tedious de-
tail and In splendid generalization.
With the true moral instincts which
the Saxon race everywhere has come
to revere. her greatest delight is in
the success and achievement OF her
husband Without reservation her
life has been given wholly to him
