SAVED HIS JITNEYS

Billy Hart, who recently re-
signed as a National league UNI
pire, has lived frugally in his 80
years of baseball and as close
guardian of his jitneys he is
said to have rivaled Sam
Lever. Umpire Charley Rig
Ter had a lot of fun with Hart
while paired, with the veteran.
While in Pittsburgh they stop
ped at the Seventh avenue, but
Hart preferred to get his little
noon lunch at a five-and-ten.
"Say, Bill" remarked Rigler
to Hart one MONDAY, "the hotel
is serving some fine clam chow
der with a plate Of toast for a
dime. Try some of it."
"a dime, Charley, are you
sure?" exclaimed Hart.
"Surest thing you know" re-
piled Rigler. "Just had some of
it."
Hart changed his mind about
the beanery and returned to the
hotel for his clam chowder and
toast. He enjoyed it, but was
handed a check for 40 cents.
From that time on Hart ignored
any tips handed him by Rigler.

Manager Fred Clarke of the Pitts
burgh National league baseball club
has retired from baseball. Clarke has
been in baseball for twenty-four years
with Barney Dreyfuss, owner of the
Pittsburgh Pirates for twenty-five
years, and manager of the Pittsburgh
team in the National league since
1900.
Clarke has been anxious for some
time to give his entire attention to
his business interests in Kansas"
said Dreyfuss in announcing the res
ignation, "and while he hates to leave
the game he feels that continuance in
it would involve too much of sac
rifice.'
With the passing of Fred Clarke
baseball will lose one of it's greatest
managers and most brilliant outfield-
ers. Clarke was ranked among the
leading players and managers through
out his career of more than twenty
years on the diamond. He will leave
the game with enough of this worlds
goods to make him independent, for
conservative estimates place the value
of his farm lands near Winfield, Kan,
at 100000 and besides these he has
a ranch in Idaho and investments in
the Texas oil fields.
Clarke won three pennants in
row for Pittsburgh in 1901-02-03 and
a worlds series flag in 1909. His
early career was in the Southern
league, and he attracted great atten-
ton in the National league in the

CHAPTER XIV.
AS Handsome Does.

When Sabron next opened his eyes
he fancied that he was at home in his
old room in Rouen, in the house where
he was born, in the little room In
which, as child, dressed in his dimity
night gown, he had sat up in his bed
by candle light to learn his letters
from the cookery book.
The room was snowy white. Out
side the window he heard bird sing,
and near by, he heard dogs smoth-
cred bark. Then he knew that he
was not at home or a child, for with
the languor and weakness came his
memory. A quiet nurse in a hospital
dress was sitting by his bed. and
Pitchoune rose from the foot of the
bed and looked at him adoringly.
He was in hospital IN Algiers.
'Pitchoune" he murmured, not
knowing the name of his otner COM
panion, where are we, old fellow"
The nurse replied in an agreeable
Anglo-Saxon French:

Clarke has been a factor in National
league pennant races.
With Frank Chance of the Cubs
and John McGraw of the Giants
Clarke formed the Big Three of the
senior circuit, and until Chance re-
tired several years ago it was the
Pirate chiefs boast that he had never
finished out of the first division.
The Pirate chief not only was q
wonderful batter and fielder himself,
but he had the knack of knowing ball
players when he saw them, and time
and again he successfully rebuilt his
club when Father Time slowed up
cog after cog in the machine.
During twelve of the sixteen years
he saw active service in the National
league, Clarke hit in the neighbor-
hood Of 1926.
Fred was born in Madison county,
Iowa, October 8, 1872. He joined
Louisville in 1894 after a successful
season in Memphis the year previous.
From 1894 until 1912, when he volun-
tarily retired from active work,
Clarke was rated as one of the bright
est stars in the game.
Fred announced in the spring Of
1912 that he was through as an active
player, and he did not again appear
in the lineup as regular.

Johnny Is Fairly Prosperous.

A little less than ten years ago,
Johnny Coulon of Chicago, ex-cham-
pion of the bantamweights, then fif-
teen years old, was messenger boy
for surgical instrument concern. His
salary, or pay, as he prefers to have it
termed, was $6 per week. His bank
account resembled something like
$.0000000. Today this same Johnny
Coulon, twenty-five years old, is worth
$4,000. He made $4,000 from ring
battles.
