MACK TAKES RAP
AT HUGH JENNINGS
Tiger Boss Has No Business to
Spill Waiver Story, is Con-
MES Assertion

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 31.-Connie
Mack scored Hughie jennings, man.
ager Of the Detroit American league
club. for having given out the news
at Atlantic City that waivers had
been asked on Plank, Bender and
Coombs. Mack said he regarded the
matter an American league secret
until he himself desired to inform the
public.
Il have no intention of retaining
any OF the three players named for
1916" said the Athletics manager. II
would not have asked waivers on
them at this time, but for the fact
that one of the three told me he had
been talking business with the Fed
eral league"
Plank Is supposed to be the player
referred TO.

BEDLAM LOOSE AT
EDELWEISS CAFE
Hundreds of Michigan and Har
ward Alumni Cheer Returns
From Cambridge

Six hundred alumni OF Michigan, all.
Ing the main dining room OF the Edel-
weiss cafe on Broadway, started the
locomotive yell when Michigan car
ried the ball to Harvard's four.yard
line In the first quarter of the great
game at Cambridge. Saturday after.
noon, and 500 students and alumni,
packed like sardines into the big bar
room on the ground floor, did the
same thing, filling the building with
q volume Of sound that threatened to
loosen the bricks.
Upstairs and down, II was a wild
crowd that listened TO the megaphoned
returns from the football field where
the Make end Blue and Harvard were
battling for supremacy. As Michigan
advanced the ball by steady plum yes
down to Harvard's four.yard line, the
Rah-Rah boys tore loose in cheering
contests that made bedlam out of
place.
With the ball in the shadow of Har.
wards goal posts. the crowd went
crazy clinging to each others necks,
mixing up the waltz. tango and Fox
trot, and yelling themselves hoarse.
When the sad blow came, and the
Dali went to Harvard. just when q
touchdown seemed sure, there was
one mighty gIoan, but the crowd had
the real Michigan gameness, and the
groan quickly died out In yells OF
Hole 'em. Michigan. Fight 'em,
Michigan" and then the stirring, rous.
Ing locomotive yell was taken up.
Harvard, too was represented in
the tbrong on the second floor. and
when Harvard's touchdown was an
nounced, her Detroit sons cheered
wildly. The Harvard delegation was
only small part Of the big throng,
but they made their full share Of
noise.

BY HAROLD Y. WILCOX

When asked at noon toda< regard
ing the probability OF Detio oit waiv>
Ing on Bender. Plank and Coo.nba:
the trio OF world series heroes ou
whom Connie Mack has asked waiv-
ers, President Frank Navin. OF The
Tigers, refused to make dennf1
statement.
He said that he would have to kno1
more about what kind of contracto
the pitchers In question had. what
they wanted to play with another
club, and the terms on which Mack
desired to release them. He also r.
timated that Mack might be after 4
trade OF some sort, and is using the
waiver route to feel out the sentiment
Of the other clubs in the big leagues
While Mr.. Navin did not defnitely
say so, he intimated that there WAS
little probability OF Detroit refusine
TO waive unless something he did mot
yet know OF, came TO light.

NEW MEMS OF YESTERDAY
The Original Of Alfred jim
gle in America
By Holland.

The late Parke Goodwin, who was
ranked among the leading literary
forces Of the United States IN the
mld-years Of the past century num-
bored among his friends Dickens and
Thackeray. His personal relations
with Thackeray were intimate When
Thackeray was reading for the sec
ond time In the United States, in the
mid-hfties, he dined frequently and
often obscurely-that is TO say In
small oyster houses-with MIR. Cod
win, and he was very fond of stroll
ing through the by-streets with Mr.
Goodwin, who was familiar with the
quaint and curious hooks and corners
OF New York City
/ asked Mr. Goodwin one day if he
had ever spoken to Dickens about any
of the famous Dickens characters,
and / put the question to Mr.. Goodwin
because he had just told me that he
had occasionally chatted with Thack-
cray about some of the characters IN
that authors novels.
mo, | never asked Dickens about
any Of his characters" Mr.. Goodwin
replied: "but l had at one time a
very strange experience with a man
who claimed to be the original from
whom Dickens sketched the famous
character of Alfred Jingle, in Pick
wick Papers
IL was walking down Broadway one
afternoon-I shall say about the year
1S45-with a companion who knew
everybody. Suddenly he stopped me
and pointed to a man who was stand
ing in front of famous oyster sa-
loon IL was a place where I fire.
quently ate my MONDAY luncheon.
My friend whispered to me that
should make close observation of this
man / did not need thus to be ad-
vised, for the man was Of such sin
gular personality that anyone who
saw him would be sure to look long
at him
''He had black hair, which hung in
curious oily ring around his neck
He had heavy dark eyebrows which
emphasized his sallOw complexion
and his very thin features. He wore
a coat of which the sleeves were so
tight that wondered how he ever
got his arms into them. A much
faded waistcoat which had once been

nc wore much-soiled spats or over
CATERS. His attitude was that OF a
man who was very pensive.
who is he?" ! asked my friend
He claims to be the original
character from which Dickens drew
Alfred Jingle. If he is not then he
is a splendid imitator of the Jingle
Dickens described He says he knew
Dickens slightly and that Dickens
used to talk to him. Furthermore,
he says that ne vas recognized by
his friends as Alfred Jingle. although
Dickens would never admit that he
sketched Jingle from anybody. No
body knows how he lives. although
he has told some of my friends that
he came to New York to see if he
could not make a better living than
he did in London
II think it must have been ten
years later when spoke to Thack-
cray Of the incident and asked him
IL he thought it possible that this was
the real original of Jingle.
"Thackeray told me in reply that
IL was not at all improbable. He
said that Dickens got the hint OF
most of his famous characters from
