places OF the section. consisting OF
hfty.two acres and Il large residence
OF Colonial type. One Of the reasons
assigned for the purchase of the place
IS said to be Wizards desire to send
his five children to the local schools

FROM these statements it may be in

when. he viii no longer reign as the

will occupy place among the staid

SHERDELL HAS SIGNED
CONTRACT WITH CARDINALS
Interesting Story of How Manager
Hickey Came TO Discover Young
SouthpaW.

ST. LOUIS. March a.-presiden,
Hickey, Of the Cardinals, has received
the signed contract of Bill Sherdell.
the young southpaw purchased last
summer from the Milwaukee club.

The circumstances Of Shcrdclrs pur-
chase were bit unusual TO say the
least. While Hickey was in Indianap-
oils arranging with Magnate Timme OF
Milwaukee. for the acquisition of Mar
vim Goodwin. this Sherdell chap pitched
ball game against indianapolis.
Hickey. sitting in the stand in CONVEX
sation with Timme. watched Shcrdclrs
work carefully and decided the young
sier was good prospect.
The Indians beat SherdelI that day.

himself out OF any number of tight
holes and showed lot of the stun

about the eighth frame.

Hickey. Let me have him for the price
you were going to get from Little

the season and IL he shows anything
we'll give him n trial. &c he doesn't
well turn him over TO Little Rock
next year
Timme agreed without struggle
and Sherdell became the property OF
the Cardinals for rdicuIously small
price.
Here's the big twist to the story:
From the time he became the prop
crty Of the Cardinals Sherdell was in
vincible, hanging IN eleven consccu-
tive victories. How's that for picking
a winner. Oswald?
Sherdeli finished the season with
nineteen victories and sixteen defeats

Dan Johnson VIII Confer Gold Cross
on Veteran American
IcaRucr,

NEW YORK. March o.-Umpire Tom
Connolly. veteran American League
arbitcr. is to be given signal honors in
token OF his long years of service as a
judge OF play on the diamond.
President Ban Johnson recently an
nounced that the order OF the cross
will be conferred on Connolly, who will
celebrate his twenty-rfth season as a
handler OF the indicator this year.
The cross to be given Connolly will
not he an iron cross. 1t will not be
token emblematic Of militarism, nor
yet the double cross. 1t Will be a gold
Maltese cross. nttingly bcjewcled, and
will be official ecoSnition of long and
faithful service.
This honor has been bestowed on
but one other umpire in the history OF
the American League. the late Jack
Sheridan being the first TO receive it.
Connolly began his career as an um :,
pire in the. New England League away
circuit for four seasons and establish
ing reputation for competence and
fearlessncss In judging plays. he was
engaged by the National League.
His career as a National Lacquer be-
gan In 1898, and he remained mem
Der OF the Nationals staff unit, 1900,
when illness forced him to quit his
post. In the spring of the following
wear he went over TO the newly formed
American League, and has been there
ever sine.
He has seen players come and so
in his time--hundreds Of them--and a
strange part Of his career as an Amer
lean Lacquer is that every player who
was in the league when he came into IL
has now passed from the horizon. with
the exception OF Plank. who is owned
by the Yankees. and Larry I.ajoie, who
is still in tho game. Nagnates, too.

by and watched. Comiskcy and Con-
