LEAGUE IN LUCK
Farrell Biggest Asset of Re-
vived International Circuit.
He Is One of the "Wise Men of
the Bushes"
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York May S.-John H. Farrell.
the new president of the international
league, is something of baseball
genius
The Sage of Auburn" is real vet
eran in the game, for he has been
connected with baseball for many
years and there isn't an angle of the
pastime which is unfamiliar to him.
AS secretary of the National Asso-
citation of professional Baseball Clubs,
Farrell has served long and faith
fully. Many a time his sage advice
has served as prop to tottering
minor league, and with Mike Sexton.
the venerable president of the minor
league body, Terrell has been a god
send to the minors.
Terrell 1. l.. Angel.
When the club owners of the dis
rupted International league decided
to reorganiZe their circuit this spring
the first important thing they set out
to do was to find a man capable of
taking charge of affairs for them
They did not look far, but when the
berth was rendered to Farrell it was
done SO with a foreboding that he
would not accept. His decision to take
over the affairs of the league as it's
president put new life into the war
weary club owners and the Interna-
tional league was saved to baseball
By merging the International with
the New York State league, of which
Farrell was president, the circuit was
made more compact than ever before
and the best paying cities in both
leagues now make up the new organ
ization. Farrell now has a wider
scope to display his baseball ability.
That he will pull the new league thru
and eventually put it on a firm basis
is a practical certainty, for Farrell
doesn't know what the word cant"
means
No man in the pastime knows more
ball players than Farrell He has the
name of every ball player in the minor
leagues at his finger tips, and he
knows all about every man jack OF
them. AS president of the New York
State league he dug up many promis-
ing players for his club owners. His
| league produced such stars as Eddie
Murphy, Wallie Pipp, Grover Cleve-
land Alexander, Frank Schultz, Heinie
Zimmerman, Leon Galore, Jack
Graney, John Evers, Fred Coumbe
Leon Ames, Bill Hinchman and Steve
| O'Neill.

in the thick of things, singled in the
opening of the last half of the fifth
and after Trainer had sacrificed him
to second he made it one-one by scor-
ing on JayneS's clean base blow to
center.
Pitts, Hollands most promising
looking fielder, opened the seventh
front when Diltz scored him on sac
rifice fly. However. the Salt City was
not to set the pace very long. Nee led
victory producing counter attack in
the last half of the inning by pound
ing his way to second with a double.
Hugh Bradley beat out an infield hit
and when Conroy threw the ball away
trying to catch him Nee ambled home.
Meyer walked and Cleveland sacri-

brought up his heavy artillery and
used it with his usual effectiveness.

LEAR JuHl0TS.
AS this is only the second time /

school compositions. The title is,
"Nellie's Accident"
Once upon time there was a little
girl whose name was Nellie. She was
only 10 years old. She had no home,
no father, no mother.
She would just beg in the streets
and get few crumbs from the houses.
Once when a street car was running
she tried to jump upon it, but it was
running too fast and 1t knocked her
down and broke her leg.
She lay there crying for long time
until woman came along and picked
Nellie up and took her home and put
her in bed. Then the woman asked
Nellie where she lived and what her
name was.
Nellie said, my name is Nellie. l
have neither father nor mother"
Then you shall be my girl, you
poor, little, homeless child" said Mrs.
Brown flor that was her name).
"Oh, thank you, thank you. / am
so glad" Nellie cried.
And Nellie did not have to beg in
the streets, but lived happily ever
after with her adopted mother.
