Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics

 one day by not appearing for scheduled work in an important game. The next morning he came into my office for the usual spending money which gave me a chance to lecture him. did it-without mincing words. Suddenly I looked at Waddell's face and saw an expression there which told me quickly that unless I did something quickly Waddell was lost to my ball club. So I jumped over at Rube, slapped him on the back. and ex- claimed:
 "'well, Rube, old boy, guess fooled you that time, eh?''
 ''Waddell looked at me in puzzled sort of way and said:
 '' Didn't you mean that what you said to me just now, Connie? were you Jolz- ing?'
 Why, Rube," replied, "did you think I was doing anything else but 1ok- ing with you?'
 q had saved the situation-and had saved Waddell for my team. Rube be- gan to laugh uproariously and for years afterward told about the incident as the biggest joke that had ever been perpe- trated on him.
 "Waddell was the biggest hearted ath- lete I ever knew-and the most boyish. He was passionately fond of fishing. When he first came to me he went on fishing trips whenever the QeSlre came to him without regard for the consequences of his absence from the lineup. l tool. him aside one day after he had failed to show up for a crucial game in which had figured on pitching him. and told him what a great blow it had been to me without his services. When got through there were tears in the eyes of Waddel; and he said:
 Why, Connie, I didn't know that my being away would hurt you so much or that it would hurt the teams chances like that like to go fishing, Connie. but I'll promise you now that any time you want me to pitch big gnme I'll stay around and not go fishing. But Connie,s if I win that game and you don't want me to work for couple or days and want to go fishing, can go, can't IF
 "If Waddell had been possessed of the mentality of some of the other star pitch CTS, and his marvellous left arm had been guided by the workings of a crafty brain. his name would be found today on that page of baseball history which would describe the greatest pitcher of all time.'''
