The Split Log Drag,

The split log drag has contributed
more toward the economic mainten-
ance of public highways than any i'm
plement of modern usage. It does
not require special acts Of the legisla-
ture, bond issues nor expensive edu-
cational campaigns to make it avail
able as usually precedes construction
work. A drag can be built or pur.
chased for twenty dollars and is cas-.
lily operated by any one who car
drive team. We need more drags

Scribe Calls Dauss
Beau Brummel, and
Makes George Sore

George Dauss of the Detroit Tigers has
a reputation as a swell dresser. Dauss
blossoms out in the latest modes and usu-
ally looks as IL he had Just stepped out of
bandbox.
Another feature about Dauss is he likes
to sleep late into the morning. Hence
when Dauss was with the st. Paul club
some years ago he baked about the s
o'clock rising rule laid down by Manager
Mike Kelley.
There was no escape. however. so Dauss
had to comply. But 1t Jared his spirits
considerably.
One trip around the circuit was en-
livened by the presence of a certain st.
Paul base ball writer. This youth. in
search of material. would send in feature
stories about the habits and sayings of
the various Saints. He wrote a long ar
ticle about Dauss and referred to him as
the Beau Brummel" of the team.
copy of the paper fell into Dauss
hands. He came to the words Beau
Brummel' and paused. CHANGING up he
spied Josh Clarke I'm the distance.
Hey. Josh, what does this mean, Beau
Drummer"
Clarke grinned. why. kid. that is as
much as to say you're a lazy guy"
IT took the scribe twenty minutes to
square himself with Dauss.

Peggy Barth Pulls
Joke on Shuster, but
It Doesn't Work Out

The death OF Peggy Barth, the young
Brooklyn recruit while playing winter
ball In the Imperial Valley, has recalled
a prank Peggy pulled off once upon a
time that turned out differently from
what he and his fellow players had ex-
pected. II was while Peggy was with
the Pasadena club of the Southern Cali
fornia league. in which he made his start
and Jack Shuster was the team angel
and manager This is the way the story
is told by Henry Chandler, who was an
umpire In the league:
Things had been breaking badly for
Shuster and judging from the attendance
the natives were unaware OF the fact that
their city was represented by ball club.
The players were rebellious. too. for
Shuster could. without n doubt. collect
more OF their dough without provocation
than any manager I ever met, and have
known some who were strong on inflct-
ing fines for this, that and the other
thing.
THE team was finishing a home stay
and after the last game OF the series all
were in the club house gathering odds
and ends. Enter Shuster: Pile all those
uniforms In the corner. boys We open
at Long Beach tomorrow and I want you
fellows to show in style down there I'll
have them laundered and rushed down In
time for the game
with that shuster took his departure
from the club house. AS the players be-
gan pillng up their uniforms, Peggy
Barth, who always was pulling off some
thing, said: Let's run up a laundry bill
on shuster that will even up a little on
those fines and he started the idea by
throwing shirt. socks. suit OF underwear,
etc, into the pile OF uniforms. The other
players caught the idea and every spare
bit OF wearing apparel was piled IN with
the uniforms and then the whole lot Of
stuff so arranged that Shuster would not
get wise II he should make an inspection
The players left the club house speculat-
ing on what the manager would say when
he got the laundry bill.
That night Shuster decided to make his
exit. and he maze a good one. leaving
Pasadena nothing but a franchise and a
bunch OF unpaid. hungry ball players. He
took the uniforms. too. and with them
went all that had been piled In 20 run
up a fancy laundry bill, while a dozen
ball players left behind were not only
broke, but without even as much as a
change OF socks.

Jimmy Viox Makes
Monkey Out Of Flip
Cuban 0utfielder

Hans Wagner has a fine sense OF humor
and can tell a good story when he opens
up. He tells this one OF an incident in an
exhibition game which the Pirates played
with the Cuban ball team at Long Branch.
n. j.:
THE cuban player in left field was
fresh in the way ne talked to some of u.s.
and he made Yiox particularly sore. The
time came in the game when Viox had a
chance to show him up, and he did.
Jimmy hit long home run in the bushes
in left field, and this Cuban was so busy
trying to find the ball he couldn't see
what was going on.
"VioX went around the bases once and
then while this Cuban was still scratch
ing in the weeds Jimmy started on around
the second time. The Cuban came up out
of the bushes just about the time Jimmy
got past second base on his second time
around. He threw the ball on a line to
home plate and then tore madly in toward
the diamond. The Cuban catcher was In
en- the Joke and he took the ball and
pinned it on Jimmy ten feet from the
Ilate.
Then the umpire helped out by calling
Jimmy safe. The way that Cuban left
fielder did rant and explode Spanish cuss
words at us big leaguers and the umpire
for the rest of the game was funny, for
no one put him wise ans just let him go
on making fool OF himself"

Mike Donovan One
Pug Who Knew When
to Quit the Game

To know when to quit when quitting is
good is a species Of wisdom vouchsafed
70 few fighting men. one Of the most H.
lustrious Of the champions to retire from

good old professor Mike" the grand old
man OF the squared circle.
The professor held the middleweight
title from 1874 to 1889. when he voluntarily
resigned his honors and be % me boxing in
structor of the New York Athletic club. a
job he held until he was pensioned last
year.
Dempsey's defeat at the hands of the
old-timer-for Donovan really had the
shade, although 1t was called a draw
was perhaps the bitterest pill the Irish
battler ever had to swallow.
Donovan was the only middleweight
champion in the annals of puRtlism 10
retire undefeated. with the exception OF
Jack Randall. the original Norma rail -
who fought nearly a century ago ana was
never licked. Bob Fitzsimmons went
into the heavyweight class and fought

Eddie Mahan Falls
for Old Golf Game

Eddie Manan. the Harvard foot ball
captain, has forsaken the gridiron for the
midiron. He's just like the other top
caliber athletes In double crossing the
sport I'm which he shines the most and
tackling golf. Mahan does not yet play a
superb game with his set OF clubs. but
he's coming along, and the tender nursing
process arranged by his golfing friends
at Harvard is beginning TO show results
Mahan declares Il Is much easier for
him to find hole in the line OF foot
ball team than 20 find the hole in the
putting green. That is one OF the rea-
sons why his score card at the end OF
every eighteen holes makes those Il points
that Harvard scored against Yale look
Insignificant. II Mahan wanted TO he
could make eighteen holes in 800 without
deviating from his present normal form.
His driving isn't so spectacular as might
be expected from Mahan for most OF his
punts In the season just past went as far
as the majority OF his golf drives.
