NIGGA HAD DONE ITS WORK
Ample Proof of Its Potency, Though
There Was No Occasion for Many
Congratulations.

A japanese, Mr.. Aisaku Waseda, dis
cusses japanese humor in the Tourist,
and offers the following selection:
Said an innkeeper's wife to her hus-
band:
1.-THE guest who came this evening
carries a package that seems to con-
tain things Of great value. l wish he
would leave 1t behind"
II have good idea," said the hus-
band. II will give him a great deal
of myoga."
The innkeeper carried out his plan
and gave myOga, spicy vegetable
supposed to produce forgetfulness, in
abundance to the guest with soup and
with vegetables, and soon after the
guest had departed he hopefully in
spected the room. There was no trace
of the coveted baggage.
The landlady began to- scott at the
inefiicacy of myoga as an oblivion pro-
Queer, but her husband admonished
her not to lose faith SO easily.
"The myoga has had it's effect" he
declared.
"What do you mean?" demanded the
woman.
'Why, he forgot to pay his BILL" re-
piled the husband.

Harry Vardon.

style, he would probably reply without
hesitation, Harry Vardon, of course"
but, according to Harold H. Hilton,
former British amateur champion, this
is incorrect.
Many years before Vardon was TAX
ing part in championship golf a Ger.
tain amateur, John Ernest Laidley,
was playing better than any other in
Scotland and at the same time much
more on a par with the best profess
siOnal talent in either Scotland or
England, says Hilton. Laidley was
holding the grip of all his clubs by the
aid of overlapping the fingers of the
right hand over the forefnger and
thumb of the left hand, and his sue
cess was so great that one would have
naturally assumed that he would have
many imitatOrs.
No doubt in his own circle at Mus
selburgh and at North Berwick there
was certain coterie of admirers who
followed him, but as none of them
made any marked success it became
somewhat recognized that Laidley's
unique methods were simply the &C.
centricity of golf genius, and were not
safe for the ordinary man to initiate
Next to adopt the overlapping grip
among the famous players was J. H.
Taylor. He is slightly younger man
than VardOn, and while it would not
be fair to assume that he took to the
method of grip before Vardon, he ap-
peared in first class golf before the
Jersey man and made a success of it
before the latter did. so he must be
viewed in the light of being the Sec
ond apostle Of the grip which is so
prevalent in present-day golf.
A little later Vardon came on the
scene, utilizing a similar grip to that
Of Laidley and Taylor, and it was
only then that the critics began thor
Oughly to realize that there must be
something in this unorthOdox method
of gripping the club. Soon there be-
came quite craze for overlapping the
fingers, and the comparatively new
form of hold was termed the "Vardon"
grip, by which it is referred to to this
day. BY that name it will probably
always be known.

position, preferring to let his deeds
speak for him. They have, and when
classes in graduating at Princeton hon
ored him as an honorary member of
their classes, it speaks volumes Of the
esteem and respect they have toward
him down in New Jersey.
With the late Mike Murphy, "Pooch"
Donovan Of Harvard, piper" Dono-
van, the first American sprinter to run
100 yards in 3-5 seconds; Johnny
Mack of Yale, "Sid" Peet and others,
he was one of the noted group Of
sprinters who trained at Sunnyside
Park, Natick, for the professional foot
races in the days before amateur Rth-
letics was established.
Organized Famous Teama.
He was one of the first to organize
the famous hose, hook and ladder
teams, when racing of this kind was so
popular and the rivalry between Mas
sachusetts towns was keen.
It was at Yale that Fitzpatrick made
his start at trainer in 1890 and 1891.
Contrary to the general impression,
Fitz was alone in handling the condi-
ton of the football players and coach
ing the track men.

SCRAPPING MANAGER
STILL IN BASEBALL
Both Leagues Boast OF Leaders
Handy With Their Fists.
Former Star Player Laments Fact
That Game Is Becoming Hand
shaking nstitution-Diamond
Battles Not Numerous.

Jess Burkett, former big league star
batsman, recently lamented the fact
that baseball was becoming a hand
shaking institution. There is not
enough fight in the modern game of
baseball to suit the aggressive Jess.
Perhaps battles on the diamond are
not as numerous as they once were,
but it cannot be said that the present
condition which Burkett mourns has
been brought about entirely by the
present crop of managers, for in the
big leagues today nearly all of the
pilots are known quantities as far as
scrapping goes.
In the American league there are
two premier performers with their
mitts in Ed Barrows of the Red SOX
and "Kid" Gleason of the Chicago
White Sox. And Jimmy Burke of the
Browns and Clarke Griffith of the Sen
ators cannot be considered shrinking
violets.
The National league, however, Is
much better equipped in the matter of
fighting leaders in Hugo BeZdek of the
Pirates, John McGraw of the Giants,
Branch Hickey of the Cardinals, Fred
Mitchell of the Cubs and George Stall
ings of the Braves. Any OF this crowd
will battle, and If rumorS can be cred
tied, any of them can, in a pinch, go
to the mat with an obstreperous play
er who might happen to get the idea
he can "run" the boss.
Connie Mack of the Athletics, Miller
Higgins of the Yanks and Hughey
Jennings of the Tigers might be
classed as the peaceful delegates, be-
cause they invariably try to settle by
arbitration what the other scrappy
managers want to iron out in a battle.
Age usually takes much of the fire
of the scrappy leaders, and even John
McGraw is inclined to let pass some
CALLING incidents that only a couple of
seasons ago would have sent the Lit
tie Napoleon" into hurricane of rage.
The officials and not the managers of
baseball are responsible for the con-
ditlons of the present, for as Pat Mo-
ran says, the player who fights for his
point now is rowdy instead of an ag-
gressive ball player.

YANKS FINISH THIRD

George Mogridge had the dis
tinction of bringing home the
Yanks in third place this season.
With a slice of the world series
melon at stake MOgridge never
worked harder to defeat Connie
Mack's misfits in the final fling
of the year. Mogridge got two
hits, one a triple that decided
the issue and kept the Athletics
back in the ruck. The Yanks
finished one game ahead of the
Tigers and get about $500 each
for landing in third place.

brought glory to the JungletOwn in

A FREAK PLAY

There have been many freak
plays this season at the Polo
ground, but one that occurred
in the final game of the season
between the Giants and Pirates
was one for the book. 1t hap
pened in the seventh inning.
Schmidt, the Pittsburgh catcher,
was at bat. He hit a grounder
sharply at Zimmerman. Heinie
fielded the ball Clearly, but no
ticed that Schmidt did not run
to first. Instead, the visiting
backstop was rapping hiS.bat on
the ground to see if it had been
broken by the blow. So Zim
tossed the ball to Fletcher.
Fletcher relayed it to Frisch and
Frisch passed it to Chase, retir-
ing Schmidt at first base.
Schmidt's bat had been frac-
tured at the handle.
