who, by the way. is looking the picture
Of health from his sojourn here in the
South. After luncheon the pair, ac-
conpanied by several newspaper mon,
motored TO the park to view the prac-
tice.
The Judge was keenly Interested in
every detail, and he asked number
of questions of Ebbets and the scribes.
He inquired about the climate and the
progress Of the team, asked for reports
from the other camps, made inquiries
about train schedules, and hundred
and one other things. This IS tour
of instruction, az we'll as Of inspec~
tion, for the venerable commissioner,
and he certainly is making the most
Of it.
Meets All the Players
Manager Wilbert Robinson spotted
the judge the moment he entered the
park The Brooklyn leader promptly
hurried from the field and greeted the
commissioner with hearty handshake
and q "Hi there, judge, how are you ~
in the center Of the diamond so that
little walk, I guess."
The commissioner smilingly thanked
the Brooklyn pilot, whose spirit and
good nature are contagious, and, after
Robbie had ordered all hands together
on the diamond, walked out into the
field He made the rounds thoroughly.
shaking hands with each player, and he
also took the time to give bit Of
counsel to each individual. We noticed
| that the judge made it a point 70 re-
peat each mans name distinctly and At
the same time to scrutinize the counte-
nance Of the player as he was intro
duced.
The coming-out party completed, The
/ Judge and Manager Robinson withdrew

ence. Then practice was resumed. The
honor guest watched the proceeding
with a keen interest the while he chat
ted with the newspaper men.
"Commissioner, what is the main OBJ
iect of your tour" the keen-eyed ez-
jurst was asked as he stood by the
bench
Just as you see he replied. "pri-

ball situation and to get frst-hand

Grimes Signed to
TwO-Year Contract
BY BROOKLYN Club

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, March Ia
Burleigh Grimes has deserted the ranks
OF the hold-outs and is again listed
ohclally as member of the BROOKLYN
club. Furthermore, he is scheduled to
remain member for the next two
years. After some fruNess confer
ences with President Charles II. Fbbets
the star pitcher of the Robins has af
hXed his signature to contract for
the seasons of 1922 and 1923.
Both Grimes and Ebbets made con-
ceosions before the agreement was
finally reached. Grimes was demand =
ing contract for $4,000 without anv
stipulation as to games won. Ebbets
had offered his star pitcher $4,000 in
the event that he won twenty games
during the coming season and $4,000
1t he accounted for twenty-five vic
tories.
Grimes finally signed contract call
ing for $4,000 a season, but carving
a clause which provides for another
$1,000. The decision on the extra
money will be left entirely with Prcsj-
dent Ebbets. The Flatbush Squire has
agreed to tack on the extra thousand
regardless of games won if the work
OF the pitcher throughout the wear is
entirely satisfactory. AS Grimes is a
willing worker whenever needed he
should not have much difficulty in prov
ing his right to the extra thousand.
Grimes proposed that the contract
cover a two-year period, and asked that
he be allowed to get into condition at
Hot Springs next season. Both re-
quests were readily granted by Presi-
dent Fbbets

This same Mcmillan had two crash

Umpires in Trouble
Charlie O'Leary did the umpiring on
balls and strikes, while Joe Kelley was
supposed to call the decisions on the
bases. Kelley was nearly mobbed in
the fourth inning, when Ruth scored
