Busy This Spring

SNOALLUPlSH. Wn.. April 20.
You cannot tell Ben Lewis, who
lives over Tenino way, that kind
ness does not pay.
Last fall Ben was over on
Grass lake duck hunting. He
found in the reeds wounded
mallard.
He amputated an injured leg,
fed the mallard and before long
II was hopping around the barn
lot with the domestic ducks.
Occasionally it would fly to the
lakes for the day, but always re-
turned at feeding time. Ben be-
came attached to the beautiful
bird and one day he made IL a
wooden leg with a paddle on the
end SO ii could swim better, be-
cause with one foot il usually
went In a circle.
In the fall the duck flew south
ward with the migrating birds
and Ben thought no more of II
until last week when stepping
into the barn lot one morning he
found the mallard and with IL
we're seven other maIlards, every
one with their legs shot off. The
duck evidently informed them OF
Uon's kindness and brought them
Up 10 SnoalIupish. Ben has been
bnsy making wooden legs and inn

RUSS FORD FIRST TO USE
 EMERY BALL

UmpiresTon Connolly gives tflesreaI history of the so-ca1led .senery ball.. which has been barred by the Arneri can league.
 That ball is something that the American Ieague has 1egialated againsts,' said the unnp, land it would be a good thing if the National league were to take similar action against 1t. Unless they do. there swiH be fewer 300 batters than ever in the big lea Igues this year.
 "I read Manager Carrigan,s state ments in regard to it the other day and agree with Bill perfectly Like wise, I agree. that it will be pulled no more in the American league, except under the most severe penalties
 1T believe that Russell Ford was the inventor of this emery ball am sure he must have used it three years ago, when he had that break on the alleged aspitter's that everyone was trying to fathonn out If you will re- member that was Ford,s best year. and he was supposed to be able to do more with that moist pellet than any one ever did before or since.
 had an kexperience with a pitch CT a couple of seasons ago that should have put me wise to this emery paper before discovered it's use. A year ago last summer, while the Red Sox were playing in Detroit, Ed Moriarty of the Tigers came up to the plate and told me that something was the matter with the ball that Ray Collins was using. I did not know what it I was at first. but I told Moriarty not to make any ation, to keep quiet while would watch Collins and
 was.
 q made no move right away to call I the big southpaw to account, but
 kept my eyes fastened on him and
 finally saw that he was rubbing l the ball on his belt. I did not say lanything then but noticed that Ray would let his shirt over the belt so as to hide it from view when ever he left the box at the end of an inning.
 s.But when Collins came to the bal I grabbed him, and pulling the sflirt away from the belt found the piece ed on. I tore it off and threw it away and I told Collins that the next time T I found him using such a contrivance
 I would pin a $50 fine on him. Ray I IapoIogized for it's use and said he would never put it into play again | I don't think he ever did.
 q took this piece of sandpaper ant a. couple Of the balls used in the game and sent them on, to Ban Johnson a the time, with a report on the affair but Ban was away ana I never heare l from him in regard to the matter Fl " Hell tiis Hseu# s'O31.

 TWO MANAGERS

New York, Feb. 1o-AIthough the atmosphere at the league meeting was surchaFged with Fumors of many deals, not one of them has yet ma terialized. The Phi11ies are involved in several proposed trades, but the is the trade of Adams Stock and Demaree of the Giants for Hans Lo- bert. Moran stated yesterday that Stock had no intention to jump to the Federal league. but had given his consent to play with the Philltes. The deal with Boston will not be settled until later in the year on account .stallings of the Braves
 President Gaffney Of the Braves. stated that he was sure of getting Magee because the latter had already signed a contract with him. Whitted has refused to play in Philadelphia so Moran is now dickering with Bos- ton to get 1nfieIder Duglly, the Braves utility inf1e1der and outf1elder. With Duguy the Braves will also give a pitcher.
 Managers Moran, Herzog and Bres- nahan were in conference relative to Infe1der Niehohf of the Reds. Both the Cubs and Philues want him and 1t was said that the complication would result in a big three-cornered
 
 Cuban player named SeigIie, now playing in Havana, has been highly recommended to Manager Moran and he will report for a spring try out at St. Petersburg.

BIRMINGHAM HAS TO MAKE GOOD AS MANAGER
 OF CLEVELAND IN 1915
(Worcester Post. )

It's up to Manager Birmingham to produce the goods this year Of- ciaIs of the club have removed, or will remove, every ball player who was not in harmony with the Bir- rningham policy last year. They have given him a free rein in every way, and have put every question pertain ing to the team up to the pilot, so that Birmy will have absolute con troll
 Last year conditions were not of the best. Several players were not in harmony with Btrmingham's sys- tenn, and, as a result, clashes were often the case.
 With the players opposed to Bir- mingham off the club, the manager will have every chance in the world to produce a club which will play the same brand of ball as displayed by Cleveland the close of the 1913 season.
 The cliques which disrupted the team last year have been broken up. Vean Gregg is with the Boston Red Sox, Doe Johnston is slated for a change in scenery; Olson is with the Cincinnati Reds, while Lajoie has

 DERRICK WAS TOO LATE

New York, Feb Io-Bin Donovan of the g7oBdeh smile and Inirthful coun- 4enanee, may be the most JoY1ai per ssf,Ta "a the world, but Roger Bresnahan evidently considers him as kill-5oy. What do you think of my new short stop, Bill Fisc1ler2'i asked Roger. You have seen a lot of him in the Interna- tfonal league,
 4Hess d pretty good man z replied n5flI, ssbut wouldn't compare him to Claude Derrick, the fellow you let go. Say if you could get Derrick to play the ball for you that he played down in Baltimore the last two seasons you would stop looking for g shortstop. lFYousd think you had the best shortstop an the world ''
 Derrick was one of the unysteries of e3aHebau In the minors he covers ground like Maranvflle. but as soon aas he gets in the big circus he becomes e bIoo1ner. But Bill should have given Roger his opinion on Derrick before Haoger curt the strings to him.

 New York, Feb. 1os--C1ub owners in the National League refused yes terday at their session at the Wal dorf-Astoria to lift the wave of economy from the old organization. At the last meeting of the league the mag11ates voted to cut down the playing limit between May 1 and Sept. I from twenty-five to twenty one players, and at yesterdays ses- sion it was amended to the constitu- ton of the league.
 The owner of the Giants was of the opinion that the clubs with 8 playing manager would have the adj vantage over the other clubs Then the rule in regard to a playing mana ger was slightly changed and made to read: sA playing manager is one who participates in a game.''

1877-Mart1n Duffy, long promin- ent in the welterweig ght division. born in Chicago. Duffy whipped nearly all the wselterWeight caampi ons of his time, but not at the time when they held the title, so that he never became champion. Starting as a ligh htweight, he whipped many good boys in that class before he entered the welter ranks. In 1909 he de- feated Matty Matthews, the x-weIter champion, and repeated the trick the following year. In 1903 he knocked out Rube Ferns. also an ex-cham- pion, at Louisville, and in a return match at Hot Springs he again had the best of the Rube. In 1904 he was knocked out by Honey Melody, and from that time ceased to be a top-notcher in the ring.

JERSEY CITY CAN'T PLACE
 TEAM IN BRONX

New York, Feb. 10-The National League has decided to refuse the re- quest of the International League to invade the Bronx. As a radical meas ure to save the JerseyaCity Club, Pres ident Barrow, of the Internationals, asked that the club be transferred to
 the Bronx, where several weH-known promoters have promised their aid. President Hampstead, of the Giants,
 stated yesterday, after the question
 had been discussed by all the club owners of the National League, that
 he was very much against the Inter- nationals invading the territory of the IGiants.
 President Tener is also opposed to lrelinquishing National League terri | tory to a minor league, so, in spite of l the bad plight in which the Interna- tional League finds itself on account of the inroads made by the Federal I League last season, they can look for no aid from the National League.
 President Barrow was greatly dis Iappofnted yesterday when he heard of Iffle attitude of MT. Hampstead and
 been loyal to baseball said Presi- 4dent Barrow, and think the Ma I tional League is making mistake. However, we will not quit. but will keep the Jersey City team in that I city. We are in this fight to stay.'' I Experienced baseball men are also lsomewhat surprised at the action of Ethe National League in refusing the lreQuest, Of the International League
 In view of the present baseball war SIWith the Federal League it was sup tposed that all the leagues of organ T ized baseball would stick together and help each other through the fight.
