Nick Altrock's S Career
Twenty-second Installment.

When Jones was manager he and
Nick had an argument. The man
ager asked Nick who waS managing
that club. You obey my orders or
j will let you go. Amt I your boss?
asked Jones.
Not so you could notice it, replied
the pitcher.
Then who is managing this club?
Comiskey, came back the reply,
and from that day till Jones and
Nick parted they were enemies.
When Chicago assumed Altrock's s
contract with Boston IL called for
a salary of $4,000: that was in 1908.
But when the 1904 contract arrived
~ was found that S2,1OO was the
price set.
will prove that I am worth all
] ask for he told Comiskey one day.
and the reply came back. when you
do I will pay you for il. In the
spring of 1905 the salary was
boosted to s2.400 and $4,000 in 1906
That was the price Nick received
from the Sox until he was sold to
Washington in the summer of 1909.
While Nick was with the Chicago
team there was a pitcher named
Suter who could not field his posi-
tion and Comiskey was about to re-
lease him. Nick informed his boss
that the fellow had all the ear
marks of being a good man and 'ff
you will permit me to teach him
how to field" he told Commy, I feel
satisfied j can make him come
through. go to It," said the Old
Roman.
In a couple OF weeks Nick re-
ported that 'Suter was ready to
pitch. He can field his position now"
Suter pitched that afternoon and
proved that Nick was right. Now
Suter was also a southpaw and af-
ter the game, Comiskey called Nick
into his ONCE and thanked him for
taking so much trouble with a
rookie. Now that we know we
have a good youngster. 1 don't
think we will need you. I sold you
to Washington and you leave for
that city tonight"
when Nick reported to Washing
ton he was worked very little.
Cantillion who was manager of
the locals that year. knew he was
about through as manager, so be-
fore he was released he sold Altrock
to Minneapolis.
Nick went to the Millers and won
out of 16 games the balance of
that year.

Theater on Eutaw street near Sara
toga.
Egan did most of his boxing in
this city and is well remembered by
the fans of a few years back. He
fought a number of good battles
here.
II plans do not miscarry, the ben--
ent will be a corker from every
standpoint and a goodly sum turned
over to the boxer. who has some
hope held out for a recovery, at
least partially. of his eyesight by a
prominent New York specialist. Ex-
cepting the cost of the theater. the
railroad fare for out-of town boxers,
the entire proceeds will be turned
over to the unfortunate boxer.
The local boxers are all most
