BASE BALL ON THE INSIDE
BY BILLY EVANS.

man or being hit safely it seemed as
II every one in the park was demand
ing that he be derricked. AS a re-
suit the pitcher never stepped on the
rubber In the proper mood or spirit
to do his best. He was, from the
start. waiting for the signal from the
manager that would finish him for
the afternoon. This pitcher was sold
to major league club in the east
and went big for them.
In another case a pitcher failed with
one of the eastern clubs in the Ameri-
can League, only to develop into a
star for western club. Most pitch
ers thrive on a diet of applause far
better than abuse.
Some pitchers I have met I be-
lieve were Indifferent to the attitude
of the crowd. In the American League

Another equally great factor in
~'olding the career of the player is
the press. I often hear players say
neither the crowd nor the press means
a thing to them. l have heard play
ers say they never read the sporting
sheet. To me that has always seem
ed the thinnest kind Of bunk. one
day last summer I was discussing this
with a star in the American League,
and what he had to say was interest
ing to me.
Ninety out of every hundred play
ers are considerably Influenced by
what is said to them and about them.
Nine others are momentarily affected,
but soon shake off the sting OF crlti-
cism of fans or adverse comment OF
the press. About one in hundred
is more or less Indifferent as to the
attitude of the fan and the press, and
it has always seemed such disposi-
ton did not make for success. The
players who don't read the papers
are those who can't read or won't cut
loose with the price of same" con-
tinued the star player. CAS- far as
am concerned. when I play my worst
game is when I am most anxious to

ranch at Fresno, Cal. Shore said that
his former teammate on the Red SoX
Informed him that he had been guar
anteed $f.500-thirty games at $3.50

this fine proposition had forced him to
make final decision against joining
the New York club. Leonard added
that he had pitched six innings
against the Cubs last week and that
he had received $50 an inning With
$500 assured for base ball services
In his home town. where he can at
tend to his raisin business. 1t is safe
TO say that Leonard will not change
his mind in regard to the Yankees II

 Homes in Great Demand
 Plant enlargements have been plan ned, but action has been postponed in many instances because of housing difficulties in the city. Figures com piled at the factories show that there are at present approximately coco men here whose families live elsewhere. The greater portion Of these men want to rent, buy CT build homes.
 The s5.00e coo plan seeks to relieve the situation by building houses to let at reasonable rents to newcomers: building houses to sell at a small pay ment down; financing the workman who has a lot and wants to build house on it.
 It is believed the principal part of the S5,0000G0 subscribed will eventually find its way into second mortgages, which will be handled at reasonable figure, at relatively low interest. Sec ond mortgages are now dealt in by companies which charge from 15 to 90 per cent commission. and interest at rates practically prohibitive.

BREAKF FAST IN BED,
 WORDS, THEN \ ROW

It is surprising how suddenly and unexpectedly trouble can flame out between neighbors and land them in court. They go to bed in peace and wake up fighting. Now there is the case of John Oswell and D. R. Shank. They and their families had been on the best of terms The other morning Shank was passing the domicile of Os- well and looking into his near Arizona bedroom saw him sitting up in bed eating his breakfast, which his wife had brought him.
 Now Oswell was not sick as Shank very well knew, which knowledge was soon confirmed. The spectacle filled him with indignation and he greeted Oswell somewhat in this wise 'Ain't you ashamed of yourself, you big stiff to have your wife carry your grub to you in bed? Why don't, you get up and eat your breakfast like man?n
 The reproof so administered by Shank was not without immediate req suits, especially the gentle intimationl that Oswell lacked something of man-i hood. He hastened from his couch and' quickly proved that he was a betterl man than Shank. The fight wass shorter even than the Toledo affair. Shank made worse showing thans Willard. N
 And that was not the end of it, ac-H cording to Shank. Whenever OswelK has encountered him he has threatF ened to repeat the dose, and according to the complaint has threatened to' destroy him. A warrant was issued for the arrest of Oswell out of Justice Wheeler's court. He was brought ih' yesterday for arraignment, and said that when the case came on for trial he would have a story to tell that, would differ in essential details from that related by his accuser. He wal released on his own recognizance.
