RIGHT AWAY CLARKE
GOT TEBEAU'S GOAT
Former Pirate Manager Tells
Yarn of Early Days.
Fiery Pat, First Baseman for Louis
willie, Lost Temper When leased
by Recruit and Chased Him
Clear Around Bases.

Fred Clarke, former manager of the
Pirates, was a visitor at the minor
league meeting, at Kansas City re-
Gently. Fred told a story on himself
that has been printed before in a
garbled form.
1t happened when Fred first broke
into the majors at Louisville. He was
practically kid and thought every
body had 1t in for him. So he played
hard and viciously, stepping on the
toes or heels of the first sacker or
the other basemen as he circled the
sacks.
The Pittsburgh club went to Cleve-
land, where Pat Tebeau was playing
first base. Right away Clarke got Te-
beau's goat. Pat kept waxing mad
der and madden at the rough work
shown by the recruit.
At one stage in the battle Fred
knocked a dipky grounder toward Pat.
The latter smiling, yet gritting his
teeth in rage, waited for the ball. 1t
reached him about the time Clarke
did, took a bad bounce on stone and
went over Tebeau's head.
Pat never paid any attention to the
ball, letting 1t go unmolested. Instead
he tore around the bases after Clarke,

VERY FEW WILL BE DROPPED
Legionnaires Are Rushing to Pay 1921
Post Dues; Many New Members
Being Added.

The 10000 post adjutants of the
American Legion, according to reports
reaching national headquarters from
all over the country, are finding them
selves now In the busiest weeks of the
years as regards work.
The rush Of Legionnaires to get in
their 1921 post dues within the time
limit set, with the penalty of being
dropped from membership, If delin-
quent after that date. piled necessary
clerical and other detail work onto
the shoulders of post adiutants in an
unprecedented manner.
To judge by the returns thus far
available, the list of men to be dropped
from membership for non-payment Of
their 1921 post dues within the speci-
fled time will be only a small fraction
of the Legion and will be more than
offset by the thousands of new men,
bers already obtained in the member
ship drives of various departments.

Legion leaders explained that their
organization in volunteering the serv-
Ices of its members for maintaining
law and order did not imply that the
police were inefficient. but that there
was recognition that an abnormal stu
alton existed under which the Legion
was pledged to act If 1t wished to live

WHEN TO WEAR THE UNIFORM
Too Modest in Appearing in

Former service men are too modest
to appear In uniform on special occa-

member, of the American Legion.
The letter follows:
"Armistice day brought with 1t some
new revelations of viewpoint on the
wearing of the uniform at ceremonies
and celebrations, and, inasmuch as in
the future we must confront the prob
lem time after time, l believe the
question should be settled now, one
way or the other. am neutral on the
subject and am willing to do as the
bunch does.
"Since their discharge the majority
Of both officers and enlisted men have
shown more than a little hesitancy in
putting the uniform back on for special
occasions. The true spirit of the Le-
gion is not manifest in any parade
when the majority of the men appear
in civilian clothes and handful march
In uniform. On such occasions the uni
formed man Is in an embarrassing po-
sition, and he vows: Never again. /
