ALTR0CK PULLS 'FAOE-AWAY'
German Comedian Of Washington
Team Gives Fans Chance to
Laugh by "clever" Stunt.

Nick Altrock loves his little joke
just like iris Speaker likes his hits
when Tyrus Is about 20 points In the
lead. The German started his daily
routine of coaching at third when the
National-Tiger game opened at Navin
field Saturday, but the rain soon drove
him to the bench. Every once in while
Nick would poke his head out of the
dugout and turn his weather eye on
the sky. AS the rain continued Alt
rock could stand 1t no longer, so GIN
gerly picking his way from pool to
pool he approached the Detroit bench.
When abmnt ten feet from the home
cave he was inspired to give the fans
at least one good laugh for their
money. So running at full speed he
cast himself into the mire and water
aud pulled beautiful fade away to
the steps. While soaked, he arose
laughing and the grandstand chirped
its only applause of the day.

They could pour those things they call

we wouldn't. They could plant dollars

GAMBLERS HURT GAME
Unsuccessful Efforts of Officials
to Eradicate Evil.
Betting At Yankee Games Fast Being
Stopped by Secretary Sparrow
Biggest Row Of Season Oc-
CURED at Boston.

Efforts on the part of major league
club owners and officials to stamp
out gambling on the games have been
successful failures In the face of OPP
erations in several big league cities
this year.
The first big yelp that went up
against baseball gamblers came from
the Polo grounds, where the owners
Of the Yankees received many pro-
tests. Finally. Harry Sparrow, secre-
tary Of the club, took the matter In
his own hands and as a result the
ringleaders of the baseball book
makers were denied admittance to the
park. Sparrow was sought out by
politicians, 1t Is said, who made an
attempt to have the bars lifted for a
number of the men who were black
listed at the gate, but he remained
firm, and as q result gambling at the
Yankee games is fast being stopped.
The biggest row of the season In
which the gamblers figured was the
recent near-riot at Boston. when the
Red Sox were playing the Chicago
Sox. 1t is admitted by several Bos-
ton sport writer's that the gamblers
were responsible for the crowd surg
ing on the field in an attempt to stop
the game, when rain temporarily in
terfered. President Frazee was so
thoroughly incensed over this incl
dent that he hired corps of private
detectives to spot the gamblers, and
action similar to that taken by Harry
Sparrow will be used by the Boston
club.
The gamblers have been getting
bolder each season, and 1t is high
time the club owners got busy, fol-
gambling would soon do to baseball
what it did to racing years ago.

YOUNG PLAYER IS SQUELCHED
Rookie Who Had Made Sixth or Sew
enth Straight Hit Gets Hard
Jolt From McCloskey.

Years ago, when John McCloskey
was managing at st. Louis, a certain
young ball player started hitting the
ball fiercely. 1t was his first trip in
the majors and the fact elated him.
When he made his sixth or seventh
straight single he stalked back to the
bench and Topped himself near where
McCloskey was sitting.
swell, stung that one, eh?" re-
marked the recruit. Fright on the old
beak, too. Let's see, how many straight
singles is that I've made?"
McCloskey eyed him sternly. "Young

For the third time in his long career
Cy Falkenberg, has gone back to the

ever pitch big league game again.
The elongated twirler has been sent
back to indianapolis by Connie Mack
and probably will grace the American
association until that company gets too
fast for him.
Falky first went to the minors In
1912, being released to Toledo by
Cleveland. IN Toledo he mastered the

all over the fields and meadows. We
grow out in the open under the sky"
"And pray tell us why you talk so
harshly about money!" asked the
weeds. "They say money is fine
thing. They all like tive even
heard children talking great deal
about it."
Its funny" said the goldenrods.
"Of course it's needed TO help the real
people live-but when they talk about
flowers and how much they cost-well,
we really can't stand IT,"
The goldenrods looked very sad and
dropped little.
'Oh, pick up your heads" said the
weeds. "You mustn't be unhappy be-
cause folks talk about flowers that cost
lot. Haven't you things to make you
happy? You said you didn't want
money around you. You wouldn't
grow any better for all the money in
the world"
"True, true" said the goldenrods.
"And we mean 1t too. We grow for
Mr.. Sun and the summer air and the
soft rains and the showers. We need
those things to make us grow-the
sun, rain and SUMMER weather. And
aren't they far finer than pennies and

"Of course" agreed the weeds. They
didn't even feel happy enough, nor
proud enough to talk about money at

But STILL" said the goldenrods, ut
does seem shame when folks are
picking flowers in the gardens and
when they buy flowers from the flow
er shops that they do not come to the
real, real country where we are stand
ing waiting for them."
Just then some children came along
talking.
"Oh," they shouted, "look at the glo-
rious goldenrods. They are the first
of the season."
"Did you know that the goldenrod Is

one child.

"Yes," said the child, ut Is almost
always considered so. 1t hasn't been
finally decided upon, but the golden
rod is way ahead of all the others.
You see so many nations have flowers.
England has the rose, France the
fleur-de-lis, Scotland the thistle, Ire
land the shamrock, Italy the lily, and
we shall have the goldenrod. Isn't
1t wonderful to have wild fiower too
"a glorious bright flower like this"
All the children agreed and they
picked great punches of the golden
rods. The goldenrods were podding
their heads happily now. "We're 60
ing to be the nations aowers," they
whispered to themselves, and to the
humble bees who came to call on them
and sip Of their honey. "Yes, what
care we for money and hothouses when
the nation wants us for her fiowersr'
The weeds felt proud they had been
friends Of the goldenrods and the gold

all their relations as they awoke that
