CHANCE and GRIFFITH
TIED Can TO CONNOLLY
Braves Star Can Now Laugh at
Bosses Who Threw
Him Down.

Outfielder Joe Connolly, the best
batter on the Boston Braves, does not
owe his big league career to any man
but himself. ...t..
Joe is self-made outfielder ard
hitter if there ever was one. He be-
came an outfielder and big Lacquer by
disregarding all the advice others
tried to hand him.
Connolly used to be a pitcher. lie
was with the GAINESVILLE, Central
League, club in 1909 and 1900. He
used jerky motion that caused the
Central Leaguers to dub him "Old
Hickory Jerkey." "Joe's motion,
combined with a fine assortment OF
speed and curves, made him a crack
erjack hurler in that company.
But the scouts refused to see him.
Hes a good pitcher, but he isn't big
enough for the majors" was the YER
dict.
Joe was determined to become a big
Lacquer, and if he couldn't go in as a
pitcher he would rise as an infielder
or outfielder. He returned to Zanes-
vile in 1911 determined to play the
outfield or nothing.
Joe Raidy, manager Of the team,
thought different. He wanted Con-
molly to pitch and refused to play him
IN the gardens except in pinch. Con-
molly finally delivered an ultimatum
to Raidy IF you won't play me in
tho outfie1d trade me TO some club
that will" Connolly told his boss. He
went to Terre Haute in a trade.
: Connolly looked a fright in his first
few games in the Tewe Haute out
field. He misjudged flies and booted
grounders like a rank amateur. But
he kept trying. He always had been
a good hitter and fast runner fos a
pitcher. Playing regularly improved
his hitting and running, and he wound
up the season as champion batsmai
or the league, with mark OF .355 In
ninety-seven games. -.,. -

GEERS Still RANKS
+. HIGH As REINSMAN
Grand Old Man Of Trotting
Turf Again Near the
Top. 81.

Ranking third on the list of money
winning drivers Of trotters and PAGERS
for 1911 dis Edward +. Geers, whose for
mer sobriquet, the silentman from
Tennessee" by which he was known
the country over. has been supplant-
ed by that Of 1.-The grand old man OF
the ,.rotting turf Geers is now in
his sixty-fourth year, and in respect
to years of service, as we'll as reputa-
ton, is truly deserving Of the appella-
ton which has been conferred upon
him. .....
No other man in the whole history
OF the American trotter has won the
unreserved admiration of the entire
body Of racegoers and turf deyotees
to so high degree as has Geers.
There are few reinsmen of prominence
now identified with the Grand Circuit
whose advents thereupOn did not
,ong p0st-date his own, and during all
these years he has never ceased to in
crease his fame and fix himself ever
more firmly in the regard Of all class
es Of the public to whom harness rae
ing means anything at all. o.,
Geers' debut on the "big ring was
made in 1879 with the amous Tennes-
see pacing mare Matte Hunter
which he made the queen of her day
in the pacing arena. She was also
the first pacing champion from Ten
nessee, which was to produce so many
others in future years. With the ma
jority of these Geers was closely asso-
ciated, and it was his work behind
them that established his fame in the
beginning. For something like a de.
cade he was in the habit of coming
North with a small stable of horses,
all from Tennessee, and all this time
his success kept growing.

LATE BERRIES.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. 17.--Abra-
ham Enger, a. Hudson man, reports
that he is raising a second crop Of
strawberries, some of which alreadY
have ripened. Strawberries in No
venlber are something new for South
Dakota. The unusually favorable
weather this fall has made it possible
for him to raise his present crop OF
aWberries.
They are not under glass, but the
patch is situated in sheltered Spot
in his back yard. He has an irriga-
ton plant of his own that sends thu
water over the berry patch. The
berries are said to be large and lus-
cious and the yield promises to be as
large as crops Of the kind which are
raised in the summer.
