OLD-TIME STARS IN
CAPITALlSTIC CLASS
Many Players Can Count Their
Wealth in Six Figures.
Some Examples Cited of What Sew
eraI of Better-known Ball Tossers
Have Piled Up for Their Com
fort in Old Age

High salaries and long seasons have
placed ball players in the capitalistic
class. That is, some ball players.
There are many men on the diamond
today who can count their wealth in
six figures, the result of careful at
tention to their work and to their in
vestments. Here are just few eX-
amples of what some of the better
known ball players have piled up for
themselves by their ability to play ball
and to entertain the public:
Ned HanlOn, former manager of the
Brooklyns, can count his wealth up to
six figures. He has real estate in
Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Greater
New York.
Willie Keller had a big salary for
a decade and saved his money. His
rent roll over in Brooklyn now keeps
him from want
Jack ChesbrO owns farms, diaries,
houses, memories and game preserves
up and around North Adams, Mass.
Clark Griffith, the Washington man
ager, is well-to-dO ranch owner,
with Montana land enough, if it was
in New York city, to outrich the AS
tor estate.
Jim Mcclure owns pretty much Of
Albion, Mich, and is one of its lead
ing citizens. Jim has played ball for
% years and since he got into the big
leagues has saved his money.
Dannie Richardson is one of FL
mira's most successful business men, he
and his brother, who is mayor of the
city, owning the biggest. dry goods
store in the southern tier.
Joe McGinnity is interested in an
iron foundry at South McAlester, Okla,
and is we'll fixed.
Sandow Mertes has real estate in
San Francisco and other property In
California.
John J. McGraw, the New York man.
ager. should be able TO draw check
in the five-figure class. McGraw is
of a speculative turn of mind and
has been very successful in picking
winners.
Dan Brouthers is now one of Wap-
pinger Falls leading citizens and one
of its wealthiest. Dan played a
couple of years ago with the Pough-
keepsie club and led the Hudson River
league batting.
Roger COnnOr owns enough real eS-
tate in Waterbury, Conn, to insure
him big income as long as he lives.

TELLS ABOUT ORIGIN
OF "TEXAS Lacquer"
J. Doak Roberts Gives History of
Expression.
Disguised Syracuse Pitcher Gave Vent
to Exclamation When Three Re-
cruits Dropped Safeties Back
of the lnfield.

"Texas leaguers," recruits or stars
from the circuit of cities in the Lone
Star state making up that association,
have wrecked many ball games when
they passed on to the major leagues,
but the real Texas Lacquer" the hit
itself, no matter from what state the
player who delivered it came, has
wrecked many more day by day,
variations of play have shown for
years.
Every fan, from the lad at the knot
hole to the man in the box seat,
knows a Texas Lacquer" when he
sees it drop safely just back of the in
field and out of reach of the Outtield-
ers, but few know the history of the
expression.
According to J. Doak Roberts, presi-
dent Of the Texas league, and man
with a lifetime's experience in profess
sional baseball, the expression origin
ated in the early 9Os when a disguised
Syracuse pitcher gave vent to Good
Lord! Another of those Texas
leaguers! when Scrappy Bill Joyce,
third in row of three Texas league
graduates dropped short safety back
of the Syracuse infield
The story antedateS even the We
teran, Roberts, but this is his version
of it:
Emmett Rogers, Scrappy Bill Joyce
and Arthur Sunday, three famous
players well remembered by all of the
old timers, were members of the 1889
team of the Houston club, managed
by John McCluskey. They were the
first Texas leaguers ever sold to high
er company, netting the sum of $500
as a total purchase price.
1.-THE trio were finished stars, past
masters in the art of bunting and
placing hits. The story goes that in
their first game in bigger company
they faced OBrien of Syracuse. Rog-
ers placed a hit over the infield, and
the Syracuse defense moved in, ex-
pecting Sunday to bunt. Instead Sun
day, chip-shoOted the ball and it
dropped just out of the reach of the
shortstOp, who could not get it back
| in time
Joyce, too was expected to bunt
| but he followed in Sundays wake
| dropping another short hit back OF
| third, scoring Rogers.
ut was then that O'Brien voiced
his disgust and coined a new term fol
| baseball"

CHARLEY RIGLER ALL
RIGHT AS AN UMPIRE

Umpire Charley Rigler likes

Evans answered. Over the wire
he was told that a fan was
speaking and wished a decision
on a play to settle an argument.
1t was an involved question
and Evans answered it at length
and with much patience.
Then the voice asked: "What
kind of an umpire is Rigler?"
Evans began to get impatient.
"a very good one; as good as
there is" he answered shortly.
Thanks" came back over the
phone This is Rigler speak
ing. Now you can go back to

CONVICT WHO ESCAPED FROM ARIZONA PRISON RUN DOWN BY HOUNDS

Among the convicts serving time in the state penitentiary is Augus- tine Ramirez, sent from iMaricopa county last year, for murder, sen- fenced to life imprisonment. At first the days passed rather pleasantly, plenty to eat and not much work, with a little con quien or pangingi be- fore retiring.
 Finally, the monotony palled on Augustine, and last Thursday while he and seven others, in care of two guards, were working in the gravel pits near the track of Arizona East ern, one mile north of the pen, Au- gustine slipped off and started for Hermosillo, where his friends are numerous nd the Volstead act un- heard of.
 He followed the Gila river south, but the prison bloodhounds kept his trail and he was captured Friday noon, in an abandoned mining tun- nel, about twenty miles from Flor ence.-krizona Record.
