land and develop Babe Ruth. Because
he turned the Swat King over to. the
Red Sox, McGraw turned against Jack
Dunn, the Baltimore manager, so
strongly that he didn't speak to him
for years.
McGraw has as two good attrac-
of Babe from a commercial stand
point. as he would have considered it
the crowning glory of his career If ne
had been the one to bring out the
greatest hitter of all baseball.
The Giants will be handicapped as
long as Ruth does his stuff. The
worlds champs are willing TO spend
any kind of money, but drawing cards
like Ruth come only once in a life
time.
McGrow has as two good attrac-
ton next season--.Jack Bentley,
SIC. 900 Baltimore star is the nearest
to Babe Ruth that has eve rcome up.
Bentley is q left handed pitcher, first
baseman mad outfielder a great home
run slugger and a fine hitter.
Jimmy O'Connell, q $4,000 young
ster from the Pacific Coast, is an
other good prospect. He also is
first baseman and outfielder, dar-
ing base runner and fine hitter.
Bentley and 0'Connell, however,
will be up against it. They will have
to deliver before an ultra-critical au-
lience of the type that did every.
thing but razz George Kelly out of
baseball.
Ruth was made when he came to

HIGH PRICE PLAYERS
AMONG THE EXTINCT

New York, Dec. 19.-Days of the
S75,OO and 100000 ball player have
gone with lots of other things of the
good old days, in the opinion of John
Y. McGraw, one of the champion
spenders in the game.
The leader of the Giants, who hands
out approximately $il50,OOO in the last
year for two players, Jimmy O'Connell
and Jack Bentley, does not believe that
the crop of good players has been ex-
hausted but he makes the point that
he will not spend any more large
sums for players, and when he stops
spending the spending stops.
Along with some other men in the
business, McGraw says that the new
agreements reached by the Major
Leagues to foil the minors who are
bucking the draft will result in the
stopping of all high sales.
Under the new plan of beating the
draft, the majors have agreed not to
send any players to the minor leagues
unless it is agreed they are subjected
to the draft.
II is the insistence of the New York
Yankees to make the Vernon Club OF
the Pacific coast league agree to this
plan that is holding up the sale oil
Jackey May, the star little southpaw
of the coast. -,
Many, however, who follow the
game closely from the outside, look
Tpon the sudden tendency toward
economy on the part of some OF II. the
big clubs as an Indication that the
peak of business in big baseball has
been reached.
While the Giants are doing nothing
publicly, in the way of adding rem
forcements for the next pnenna; ,l J.
drive. the Yankees are still dickering
around with the white soX for Eddle
Collins and Bib Falk. noa

if the big felloT>does what he promises
to do this winter. he ought to hit them
again next year.
In addition it would be no surprise
to see Eddie Collins working around
second base. The greatest OF all sec
ond basemen would be great gate
attraction, as he is very popular In
New York, and it would give the fanks
a "million-dollar" infield to compare
with the Giants. Erin Ward isn't
the worst second baseman in the league
and considering that ne has time TO
come along while Collins is about
through, the deal would not seem logi-
cal. were it not for the fact that Miller
Higgins doesn't like Ward and WARD
doesn't like to play under him. ,.

RIVALRY is HIGH
IN N. Y. BASEBALL

New York, Dec. 21.-With both New
York ball clubs in their own parks
next season there will be tremendous
rivary for the patronage of the Man
haitian fans.
While nothing is yet known about
the schedules, it is taken as fore
gone conclusion that btoh the YanHs
and the Giants will have some con-
fiicting dates at home.
The desire for more Sunday dates
caused the Giants to terminate the
arrangement which gave the Yankees
the use of the Polo grounds Tor nail
the season and when the Giants want
more Sunday games, the schedule
makers most likely will grant them,
as one other club will profit also.
The same is true of the Yankees.

lard was there and was apparently
bent upon making trouble. She posed
as Mrs. Pollard and insisted upon see
ing Pollard. Neither Mrs. Beck nor
Mr. Pollard answered the bell. After
time her brother-in-law, who was
up stairs, came down to the door and
finally induced Mrs. Richardson to
leave without seeing Mr.. Pollard, the
brother-in-law insisting that Pollard
was not there.
At that time Mr.. Pollard's car in
which he and Mrs. Beck had return
ed from the theatre, was parked in
front of the house. The sight Of this
apparently made Mrs. Richardson
very angry and it was only after some
effort that she was prevailed upon to
leave the premises.
That Mrs. Richardson also threat
ened trouble the evening Of the trag-
edy was indicated by Mrs. Beck in
another section of her statement. She
said that she had an engagement
with Mr.. Pollard at 8 o'clock that
evening and that he called her over
the phone at 7:25 P. NJ, suggesting
that the engagement be called off be-
cause he feared that "Ritchie" would
come over and make trouble again.
He indicated that she was then at his
home and had warned him against
keeping the engagement.
This part of the statement, the po-
lice pointed out today, did not tally
with the story of Mosby West to the
effect that he went out to Mr.. Pol
lard's home with Mrs. Richardson in
his automobile, and that the shooting
occurred on the doorstep of Mr.. Pol
lard's home when Mr.. Pollard ans
wered the bell and engaged in scuf-
file with his former typist after she
had flashed a pistol in his face.
Mrs. Beck related in her story that
she was married June Is, 1918, to H..
f. Beck. The two lived together I'M
til June of this year. She is now su-
ing for divorce on grounds of deser-
ton. She said that Mr. Pollard also
hoped to- get divorce from his wife.
After both had Strengthened out their
affairs, as she put it, they planned to
get married. She said that Tom
was very dear to her and that she
thinks as much of him now as she
ever did. She had not seen him since
the tragedy but she was often in tel
ephone communication with him:
"Tom" had given her number OF
presents including handsome jewelry
and had taken her out great deal,
she said Before marriage, Mrs. Beck
was Louise Wilkinson, member Of a
well-known South Richmond family.

TELLS OF BATTLE
WITH INDIANS
Hastings (Neb.) Man Was Pierced
by Arrow During Fight
on Homestead.
BROTHER ALSO SHOT
Father Believed Both Boys were Dead
and Fled, but Returned Next
Day and Found Them
Both Alive.

Hastings, Neb.-Hastings has the
distinction of having the only living
man on record ever shot clear through
the body with an Indian arrow, the
arrow passing through his body and
into the body Of his brother, pinning
the two together. He is Nat Martin.
He is now a retired farmer, living in
Hastings, seventy-four years of age,
strong and husky, and rather enjoys
exhibiting the arrows, showing the
wound in his side, and telling Of the
incident.
He and his brother, Robert, lived
with their parents about Is miles
northwest Of Hastings on homestead.
They had been with their father in a
field all day making hay. 1t was to-
ward evening when nine Indians rode
up on ponies, bent on stealing the Mar
tin horses. The father, who was on
one load of hay, began shooting, and
wounded two or three of the braves.
One, slipping behind the wagon, and
shooting through the hay, wounded
the father.
Father Wounded First.
Though wounded, he kept on shoot
ing as best he could as the horses ran
on toward the house. The boys, riding
together on horse, started also for
home. The Indians tried to head them
off, but failing, began shooting from
behind.
The first arrow lodged in Mats right
elbow, wedging its head in between
the bones of the joint, and the shaft
was broken off. The second arrow en-
tered his back, just under the shoulder
blade next to the backbone, passed
through the right lung, came out be-
low the right breast, and stuck into
Roberts backbone, pinning the two
together.
Escaped Being ScaIped.
The third arrow grazed his hip,
making a slight flesh wound, and
lodged in Roberts hip. Thus pinned
together the boys rode on until faint
from the wounds and loss of blood
they fell from the horse. In falling,
the arrow was pulled through Mats
body. The Indians came up, thought
they were dead or would soon die,
and when one Indian suggested scalp
ing them, an old brave replied: "Pa-
poose scalp no good. No honor to kill
papoose."
Thought Boys Dead.
The father, seeing the boys fall and
supposing them dead, took the other
members of the family and fled for
safety to Fort Kearney. Meeting a
train Of wagons he came back with
them to recover the bodies Of his boys.
The boys, in the meantime, managed
to crawl to the barn, where they were
found next morning and their wounds
