Has No Hard and Fast Rules for
Players to Follow, But
Hates Cigarettes.
By FRANK W. ROSTOCK.

CLEVELAND. Ohio. May 1s.-Desci-
plineI
Whenever one reads a line about the
st. Louis Browns, he gets the idea that
Branch Hickey, st. Louis manager, Is
the strictest Of disciplinarians.
One can almost imagine him striking
a cigarette from a players mouth or
plastering a huge fine on one who has
blown the froth from a scuttle OF suds
and downed its contents
Why one thinks so is one Of those
things that cannot be explained
Neither can one explain the origin OF
the belief that Hickey stands guard over
his men. notes the hour each retires,
and how many cigars each smokes
1t is probably because Hickey walks
the straightest and narrowest Of paths

club on Sundays.

rules for my players said Hickey.

player get up at 7:45, that each gets
eight hours of sleep. and that he be

As usual, he played the par: of Sher-

known during the early part of the day.
However, he came to secure Wingo.

This is the first time the athlete and
the third league magnats had ever met
That opened the business relations
between the two. Madison started by
offering Wingo three-year contract
at $1,000 per, but Ivey simply laughed
when this figure was mentioned.
What, me Jump for that?" smiled
1vey Il should say not. I'm drawing
that with the Cardinals"
well, let's go up in a room ard
talk it over" suggested Madison. The
magnate and the player took the ele-
vator, and the two entered the same
room as occupied by George StoYall and
Earl Hamilton the night the Browns
pitcher agreed to Jump to the Kansas
City Federals.
For half an hour the two argued over
the conditions that would make Ivey
MiE6o a member Of the Kansas City
FederaIs.

said Wingo. I'm here to talk busi-
ness. I'll give my proposition. 1t is

Madison parleyed for several min

that he was not ready to offer such an
eXcrbitant figure. why not $4,000 for
three years, and here's 5000 on the
salary" came back Madison.
No, not a cent less than 1000, d"
said WingO.
That ended their conversation. The
