HOW TOO MUCH PRAISE SPOILED
A CLEVER $4,000 PHENOMENON

Larry Chappell, $4,000 base
ball player. hailed as the greatest
outfielder turned out of the
American association In years.
has failed and gone back to the
minors.
Behind the failure of -Chappen
is a lesson.
Here Is youth who can throw,
who can hit, who can run, VINO
can field, who is fast and smart
and even brilliant. who is better
perhaps than anyone Of the three
outfielders holding positions with
the Chicago american league
team in natural ability, and who
is branded q failure and sent
back to the minor leagues.
Chappell's failure is lesson
to every youth, whether he plays
baseball. clerks in store or
plows for q living.
AS boy around McClusky,
ILL.,, he was the best ball player in
the community. Everyone told
him he was the best.
Even then the foundation of
his failure was being laid.
He went to Jerseyville. ILL.,, and
began playing ball on the town
team there. ALI Jersey county
praised him ard predicted a great
career for him in the big leagues.
He listened and perhaps believed.
At any rate he was the Ty
Cobb of Jerseyville, the best of
all, and everyone conceded 1t.
One brief year In the small min
ors and fresh from the bushes he
was dragged into the American
association as member of the
Milwaukee team.
He was 19 years old, flushed
with success.
Five major league clubs had
scouts watching his work. He
was the most sought after ball
player in the league. [ss
Charles A. Comiskey bought
him. He paid SIP 900 and agreed
to send players worth $4,000
more to the Milwaukee team.
Chappell evidently figured that
when he reached the major
league he had succeeded. He
realized In few days that he
was the mechanical superior as a
ball player to any outfielder on
the team. ~
Manager Callahan struggled
with Chappell all--ons esason =
and on the eve of the city series
was compelled to suspend him
without pay for refusal to con-
form with the club rules. 81
This spring all seemed well.
The White Sox had new maI,-
ager, one who had managed Chap
pell once before and who
thought he could cure the tenn
permanent, arouse enthusiasm and
ambition. The flattery and SYM
pathy of friends got in its work
again.
Rowland lacked the patience
OF Callahan. One case OF tenn
permanent was sufficient. Rowland
notified Comiskey he did not
want Chappell on the club and
the $4,000 star was chased back
to the minor leagues.

day by losing to the Maple Leafs
In = closely contested game. 4 to
Z. It was the second time that
Tacoma has lost on the home
grounds since the 1915 season
started. and the fifth defeat that
Old Tige has suffered since April
20.
Gilbert Stoke, star first
sacker and smuggling pinch
hitter, strained the hgament
Of HIS leg while sliding Tues
day. In batting practice yes
terday he again hurt HIM
self, and IL was necessary
for Stevens to take the key
Stone sack.
Stevens is not first baseman.
He's not accustomed to catching
gr0unders. So, in the eighth
inning. when Kelly slammed a
grounder close to first base, and
Stevens fooled it, we can't really
hold the error against Stevey.
At any rate. Kelly landed safely
on first. He worked around the
bags. and o. Nye brought him
homo with a pretty single.
That was the run that finished
Tacoma. We made two TALES
h the last half of the eighth, that
would have tied the score had not
6tovey muffed that ball.
Harold Peet, the Sumpter lad
whom Marse Hall picked up just
before the season opened, had
those hard-hitting Maple Leafs
fooled badly yesterday. For five
Innings they couldn't touch him
for anything like a score. Nc
kenny was also pitching a sterl-
ing game. But in the sixth iu-
ming Kaylor and Nye sent ground
ers down the third base line, were
sacrfficed to second and third,
and Kelly singled them = home.
