THIS PERSISTENT
BALL PLAYER NOW
IN JUNK BUSINESS
TOMMY SHEEHAN, FORMER
THIRD BASEMAN FOR BROOK
lYN, RELEASED FIFTY BUILD
ING CoBBS AND SPEAKERS IN
ONE DAY.

A few years ago in the Pacific Coast
league the need for bush organization
to develop players was felt. and ac-
cordngly league was organized. con.
sisting of several interior towns in Cal
ifornia and San Francisco. The Bay
City franchise was taken over by the
owners of the Frisco club, and Tommy
Sheehan, former third baseman Of the
Brooklyn team, was installed AS man
ager In the hope of recruiting an en-
tire team composed Of local ball play.
ers all bushers desiring trial were re-
Quested to report to Sheehan and bring
their own uniforms.
The very first day seventy-0ve pas
timers of all sizes and descriptions re-
ported, and the next day the number
was increased by twenty-five. They
made Sheehan's life miserable. Each
succeeding day found the small army
increasing in numbers, and finally In
desperation Sheehan released about
fifty Of them in one fell swoop. lnclud-
ed In this list was a player who was
known by the cOgnOmen Of Clarlce
Where he got the name always re,
manned mystery, but he certainly de-
served it.
The next day, when the roll call was
made, up b0bbed Clarice.
Didn't | can you yesterday roared
Sheehan.
"Yes, but may have improved since
them" was the startling comeback.
All that day Clarice toiled, and at
night he was again given his walking
papers, which he completely ignored by
showing up at the park the next day
with another improvement alibi. When
he was bounced for the third time and
failed to pay any attention to it Shee-
han lost his patience. Calling the
youngster to one side, he handed him
this fatherly advice:
"Clarlce, I've got something to say &c
you, and want you to listen to me
You're no ball player and never VIII
be. It's useless for you to waste your
time coming out here every day, and
the next time you poke your nose
through the gate, unless you pay for
the privilege, I'm going to have you
pinched for vag. II l was you would
get Job driving a rags, bottle and
sack wagon. They tell me there's good
money in It,.
Clarice disappeared after that verbal
onslaught, and the matter was forgot
ten until one day as Sheehan was
walking down the street somebody
called out his name. Tommy turned
but, failing to discover any one he
knew, he resumed his walk. when
again his name was mentioned. This
time Tommy found his halter pcrched
high and dry upon decrepit old wag-
on filled with all kinds of junk, and
when he came close imagine his sur
prise to find the object OF his search
none other than Clarice, who had fol.
lowed his advice.
"How's business?" Tommy asked
him.
Fine" said Clarlce. 'I'ye only
started today, and already have made
seventy-fve bucks"
well, IL you find any vacancies In
your line call me up" said Shcehan.
I'D Ike to try it meself."
