However, he will earn his salary

also pleasing for a manager to know
he has such a capable man on the
bench in case of injury"
The case of Joe Evans and jamie
son, also of the Cleveland club, is
not unlike that of Guilsto.
Evans is a great ball player.
Jameson is also a great ball player.
Evans murders left-handed pitching,
Jameson does the same to right
handlers.
So instead OF being regulars.
Jameson and Evans. star outheld-
ers, simply share the left field berth
for the Indians.

During II years connection with
the majors I have seen a number of
the really great ball players. It is
a pleasure to watch the truly great
players perform.
have always made It a point to
carefully study the styles Of the
stars, to satisfy myself as to how
they have achieved the highest
niche in their respective positions.
All star players have certain
things in common, because under
certain conditions proper baseball
requires that plays be made just so.
However. all stars have their own
ideas about how to best make GER
tain plays.
In considering the various phases
OF baseball, l have taken up each
position and discussed the proper
playing of that position as CLEANED
from years of observation and inter
views with the games greatest stars.
It is a composite opinion.
I have tried to put these view
points together, so that the ambi-
tious player at each position can
have the benefit of the big leaguer's
experience and thought.

WALSH is NOW LEARNING HOW UMPIRE FEELS

Umpire Tommy Connolly broke Ed
Walsh in as an American League
umpire this year.
Walsh when at the height OF his
pitching career. was a mighty hard
man to umpire for. There were
two reasons.
In the first place Walsh had de-
ceptive spitball which he always
broke over the plate at the knee.
The spitball is hard to Judge. A
low ball is the most difficult to call
correctly.
Hard 10 Please
In addition. Ed was rather hard
to please. One day while working
in game at Chicago Connolly, rath-
er tired at the way Welsh was dis
agreeing with him on balls and
strikes. stopped the game. turned
to the stand and shouted:

unworried because OF the action of
President Ban Johnson in deposing
him as captain OF the Yanks and
fining him 5000 for losing his temper
at the Polo Grounds Thursday, was
to get back in the game here today.
I'm sorry I lost my temper" said
the bambino. but I'm not worrying
about losing the captaincy. This
captain business never got me any
where anyway.
I'm through worrying now. The
only thing I want to do is to play
ball and do my best to beat my
home-run record of last year"
Ruth said he didn't know who
would succeed him as captain and
Miller Higgins early today said he
had not reached a decision.

HOW TO PLAY BALL


Then to further make clear the
possibilities Of the game, I have had
a number of the leading stars tell
how they believe It is best to play
the position at which they have won
fame.
No one can hope TO succeed in
baseball unless he starts to play the
game as a kid. It is a sport that
cannot be taken up later in life like
golf, tennis, boxing or many others.
You must grow up with It and learn
as you progress.
Monday the big thrill of baseball,
hitting, is considered. Babe Ruth
is a popular idol because he can
hit the ball harder than any bats

KEEP LIST OF WEDDING GIFTS
Royalties Now Take No Chances Of
Presents Being PiIfered by
Dishonest Personaqes.

Royal wedding gifts-a subject of
topical interest at the moment-were
not always so carefully dealt with and
tended as they are nowadays. Visit
ing curio dealers shop in Aberdeen
in the early days Of her widowhood,
Queen Victoria discovered there one
Of her own wedding presents-a piece
of silver given by servant of Stock
mar, the prince consort's friend and
physician. "Perturbed and wounded"
the queen instituted an inquiry and
found that many things given her at
her wedding were carelessly stored in
odd rooms at Windsor, in cellars at
Buckingham palace, at Osborne and
at Balmoral; lack of control in the
household had allowed others, includ-
ing pieces Of plate and'various costly
gifts. to be spirited away, and some
sold. At once she put In hand the
work of cataloging and photograph
ing her wedding gifts, the catalogue
being afterward extended to all her
personal possessions. The same sys-
tenn was afterward applied in the
case of wedding gifts to King Edward
and King George, and the catalogues
now fill many big leather-bound and
indeXed volumes.

of the man, but I would undertake, by
merely playing the family ghost, to

the host. anyhow, you have my

The young fellow declared his in

to overdo the thing, he determined to
drop a word Of warning to the butler
II say, Briggs" he whispered to
that individual on meeting him in the
corridor, "you haven't seen the fam
lily ghost, have you? I'm told that he
invariably walks on Christmas eve,
y'know!'
''Thank you for the hint, SIR" calm
~ replied the butler. zone hint should
be worth another, sir, and"-here he
dived his hand into back pocket, and

after all, he couldn't carry the joke
