He was making $500 a Year and he
was going up and down the country
showing that you can't beat gambler

of game which was on and one man
was accused Of ringing in a cold deck.

another dead. He was sentenced to

and cried:
FOR Gods sake. boys. don't Let my
son be what I have been" The trap
fell and he shot into eternity.

er who pranced around the keystone
sack for Pat Moran's Phillies last sea-

New York Giants.
Last season when the Phils were in
need of second baseman Jawn McGraw
consented to allow the pills to use
Hemingway. with the understanding
that he could be recalled by the Giants
at any time. Yesterday Eddie learned
that he had been recalled by the Giants.
Perhaps the Giants will be kind enough
to notify him of the new deal.
Hemingway has been residing in this
city all winter while working at one
of the local shipyards. He has been
off and on the Giants roster many times.
He was purchased from Houston. Tex
late in 1917. On the trip north from
Malin last season he was dropped at

the bucket he returned to the Giants
only to be loaned to the Phils.
