eleventh complete season with Detroit

Detroit also has in Eddie Ainsmith

AS boss Of the Phillies, Doom pi-
loted his team into fourth place in
1911, finished fifth in 1912 and barely
was nosed out by the Giants for the
pennant in 1913. In 1914 the loss of
number of his star players crippled
the Phillies and Doom finished in
sixth place that season. He retired as
manager at the close of this campaign,
and went to Cincinnati in 1915. He
spent the 1916 season with the Giants,
after which he retired from the game.
Since quitting baseball Doom has
been engaged in the garage and cigar
business in and around Philadelphia.
Though near the two-score mark,
Doom has lost none Of his oldtime
'pep," always keeping in the best Of

that he will not only be success as

Ollie Chill, one of Ban Johnson's

years back, was once a mighty good

ment, sparkle a while and then fade
out of sight. In fact, he was veteran
when most of the present major league
catching greats reached the top.
For Ten Long Years.
The most remarkable feature of
Stanage's long career is the fact that
he has been Detroit's first catcher for
ten seasons. During that time he has
taken all the bumps that a catcher is
expected to take, and, except for lay
offs due to injuries, has been in the
lineup almost constantly. He was par
ticularly unfortunate with injuries last
season.
And yet Jennings and Tigers to a
man insist that the veteran receiver
is as good as ever. They believe he
is due for great year, his best for
some time.
Unless his foot trouble which de-
veloped recently becomes serious, he
will probably catch most of the games
again this season.

pipe tobacco was nearly exhausted, so
he cut up a cake of chewing tobacco
and made mixture. He continued to

sample, with the result that the first

RUDE WADDELL'S ODD
STUNT is INITIATED

RUDE Waddell's famous stunt
or calling in all of his infielders
and outfielders and striking out
the other fellows was duplicated
by George Uhle recently in put
ting the finishing touches to
II to 1 victory for the Indians
over the Tulane varsity ball nine
at New Orleans.
The outtielders left the field
and the infielders clustered
around second base while George
struck them out in one-two-three
order in the ninth.
Waddell, while with the Ath-
letics some years ago, made the
Albany team furious by chasing
every member of his team from
the field except the catcher.
And when it came to the final
strike for the third man, Rube
even made his catcher sit down
on the ground to receive it.
This Uhle stunt was planned
more by the Tribesmen than it
was by Uhle himself, the Indians
doing it to show their belief in
the rockies prowess.

traitor Garfield today accepted an in
vitation of Secretary Wilson to attend
the conference here tomorrow between
coal miners and operators to negotiate

that the principal reason for inviting

as to how much of any wage increase
granted should be passed on to the
consumer.
The scope Of the coming conference,
officials said, will be broader than the
negotiations of a new wage scale, and
the interest of the public in the future
prices of coal viii be taken into con
sideration.
More than 200 operators and about
