HANK GOWDY'S SLUMP
PRESENTS STRANGE CASE

Philadelphia, Jan. Shank aowdys
case is without parallel In the history of
baseball Hank never was a real swatter.
He always could club them for $50 or so
but what's that in these days Of Ty Cobb
and Iris Speaker
During the regular 1914 season. Hank
plunked 'em out for an average well
under 800. When the dopesters got busy
figuring out what the different players
would do in the 1914 world series between
the Braves and Athletics, no one figured
that Hank would amount to a hang with
the war club.
But that very same Hank became the
batting sensation OF the series. He went
to bat eleven times and banged out six
hits for the amazing average OF .545. He
made four two-baggers. a triple and a
home run In those eleven trips to the
plste-the greatest slugging average evel
compiled by a world series combatant.
1t was Hank and his bat that put the
Athletics to rout and enabled the Braves
to establish a record Of victory in four
straight games.
Hank leaped from comparative batting
obscurity into fame during that four
games series-and since then he has
slumped back again to normal Never in
his life did he hit like he hit in that
game. Never before and perhaps never
again-wil1 be slug as he slugged in those
October days OF 1914
Every time I think about Hank" says
Jim Gaffney. his boss. Il marvel at the
strange workings Of Fate"

were the dearest and kindest to me,
outside of my mother, through my
long period of recovery-the Misses
Pussy-Foot, of coursel
When they heard that one of the
bold youngsters was i'll, they decided
to forgive even the jerking up and
down of the dumb-waiter and came
IN to call upon mother, bringing her
old-fashioned remedies for my cough
and the incest little custards and
homemade jellies that ever tempted
an invalid. That began a friendship
which has been one of the sweetest
IN my life, and those two noble wom-
en- have proved themselves to be my
best of friends. They are no longer
the Misses Pussy-Foot, but Aunt
Min and Aunt Kate, endearing names
we children gave them.
Plans For My Future.
Mother and Lottie went to Canada
as soon as the season closed in New
York, but there had been an idea
evolving in my mind which ! deter
mined should mature. Weary of play
| ing in trashy melodramas, ! made UP
my mind that If | could not get under
better management | would give up
the stage and become a dressmaker.
Mother was finally persuaded to let
me stay with Aunt Min and Aunt
Kate for few weeks, while l looked
around New York and sought intro
ductions to some of the managers.
al would rather be fine seamstrcss
than a poor actress all my life" l
told mother, and she, always in SYM
pathy with me, appreciated my am
bition.

beginning of my struggle to enter
broader fields.

= SARLY in the spring we return


I and were thankful to reach
New York again l had tired of play
ing my role of the little Irish gamin
in that melodrama For a Human
Life" as it was exhausting and diff
cult work. We played for six weeks,
both matinee and evening perform
ances, including Sundays, and as l
was the central figure of the third
act l left that scene racked by the
effort of it. was only twelve at
that time, but l had had eight years
on the stage, and it was beginning
to pail upon me. | was weary Of the
travel, the noise and confusion and
the lack of real necessities which are
so essential to the building up of
brain and Drawn.
Mother decided to take an apart
ment in New York City, and after
our home in Canada Lottie and i felt
as if we were pent up in little house
of cards. Because of Our stage ex-
perience, we were old in some ways,
but then we had been denied all those
childish pleasures which keep the
spring in your heart for long, long
season. We hated the apartment. We
felt that we were ten times too large
for it and much too clumsy.
The Misses Pussy-Foot,
The neighbors-from what we saw
of them as we peeked into the hall
or through the swinging doors
were just as sociable as a cave full
of cinnamon bears, and seemed to
have little or no regard for the hearts
of children. There were two whom
we especially disliked and we discov-
cred to our horror they lived in the
apartment next to us. They were
two sisters, and it was not long be-
fore Lottie and l had nicknamed
them the Misses Pussy-Foot. Every
time we slid around a corner playing
lhide-and-seek, the Misses Pussy-Foot
were sure to be there. Every time we
went skidding down the banisters it
was always one of the Misses Pussy
Foot we bumped into, and when we
discovered that the dumb-waiter af-
forded us a source of great amuse-
ment, it was one of the Misses Pussy
Foot who sang out: "You bold young
onesl Well have you put out of this
house if you keep on disturbing US. u
| We flew in to our mother and told
her if she did not give up the apart
ment the Pussy-Foots would see to IT
that we were put out-hadn't they
threatened it? That afternoon Lottie
and / paid the Misses Pussy-Foot
back by jumping at their little pet
poodle and saying "Boop in our
most terrifying voices. The poodle
set up howl as noisily as if we had
really attacked him on all sides. Then
pellmell down the steps came our
enemies after us. Lottie was caught
by one ear and / was grabbed by the
other, and we were whisked up those
stairs by our irate neighbors as fast
as we could stumble.

supremacy early IN 1915. The con-
In question will bring together Glib

De at St Paul MINI, on Tuesday

addition to this affair, there are

setto between Johnny KiIbane and Pack

twenty-round contest between Joe Rivers

Toward the end of the month the

offer Fred Fulton and Porlxy Flynn as
headhners IN a twenty-round scrap.
ThfT latter match. by the way, Is be-
irg staged for the purpose of giving

stention from the fans because Of the

division and from the further fact that
