NDISCONERY" Of all players who
- later developed into major league
stars forms one of the most fascinating
of studies. In many of the instances
there is a romance connected with the
detective work"
One of the most conspicuous cases
which has CONE recently to my attention,
writes Malcolm MacBean, is that of
Fred Merkle. This former Giant first
sacker is doing some notable work with
the Cubs and ranks among the first two
initial sackers in both leagues. The story
of the way Merkle was discovered was
told by Charles webb Murphy, formerly
president of the Cubs.
John T. Brush. the late owner of the
New York Giants signed UP Merkle un-
beknownst to McGraw, and he did it In
a wav that perhaps has never been
DUPLICATED in major league baseball.
Brush told his experiences in the case
TO Murphy, considering 1t too good to
Eeep.
An Exceptional Barber
Some years ago John T. Brush went
to Mount Clemens, Mich, in search of
health. He found the waters there of
infinite benefit to his rheumatism. Brush
got into the habit of going to certain
barber daily for his shave, liking the
man because he said little. and when
he did speak It was to say something
really worth while.
| This barber, in some way or other
| learned that Brush was the owner OF
the famous New York Giants. He was

The question rather startled Brush

CAMUEL J. DALLAS, secretary Of the
- Meadowbrook Club, and president of
the Middle Atlantic district of the Anna
teur Athletic Union. appears to have a
monopoly or something on the leading
track athletes of the colleges and uni
versites in this section
Yesterday three additions were made
to the already long list of track stars
on the local department stores roll. The
three athletes who will represent the

summer are Ivan Dresser, of Cornell,

In the titular meet last Saturday he
attempted to establish new figures for
the two-mile run. but was unable to
accomplish his ambition. owing to a
badly injured toe. But few spectators
knew that Dresser was running under
severe handicap. In the NJ. l. T.
meet he injured his toe and was unable
to work out for more than two weeks
| The injury failed to heal properly and
he was kept out of the one-mile in order
the he could compete in the .two-mile.

Although his foot wasn't in the best
of condition. the Cornell star did try
to break the record held by T. S. Berna
He started at a recordbreaking CLIP
and soon was leading by many yards
On the sixth lap his foot began to pain
and he was obliged to slow up. He
stuck gamely to his task until the fnal
lap. when, just as he was starting his
| final sprint, Coach Moakley held up
| his hand and advised him to slow down
as he might cause further injury to his
! foot when he didn't have a chance tc
