There has been much talk and
misunderstanding about that in

my start, | will explain the whole
thing in detail.
CHAPTER 2-Why | Asked
for Smaller Salary.
THE big turning point in
base ball, the way | look
at it. was the war with the
American League back in 1900,
which lasted for two or three
years and then wound up in the
present national agreement.
That war was to base ball
much like the civil war was to
the states. 1t had to come to
a head some time. 1t worked
lot OF hardships one way and
another. but / think 1t was
necessary:
Base ball would not have been
what it is today if we hadn't
had that war We wouldn't have
had any world series for one
thing. Can you imagine what
base ball would be today if we
didn't have a world series as a
sort of big climax to the end OF
the season?
In the old days a team won the
pennant and the players were
paid off and given a banquet.
That's all there was to it. |
didn't even go to the public ban
quets. There was nothing to
talk about during the winter.
Often fans forgot who had won
the pennant the year before. 1t
didn't make any difference.
That thing of having a big
classic event to end the season.
a climax, gave base ball its big
lump. Every fall and winter the
series is talked about all over the
world now. Fans in little towns
know all about each player and
what he did. In the old days
they wouldn't even know who
won the pennant, and wouldn't
care. You know how it is.
Well, it was during that war
that | came into prominence in
money matters-base ball money,
mean. | was among those play
ers who refused to jump. | may
have lost lot of money by it,
but 1 feel much happier and salts
fed for having stayed in Pitts
burgh.
NY friends, good ball players,
all over the country were going
to the American League for the
big money. Naturally, lot of
agents, most of them friends,
were after me. | was leading the
National League as hitter, and,
if l do say it myself, was sup
posed to be a good drawing card.
I loved my team and associa-
Citations. They meant much more
to me than money.
Players Take a Stand.
One day the players had a
meeting to talk about the offers
they had had and to decide what
they should do. After a lot of
talk we agreed to meet again the
next day at 5 o'clock and not to
sign a contract until after that
meeting
Mr.. Dreyfuss and Harry Pull
liam, who was then with the
Pittsburgh club, but later presi-
dent of the National League, got
wind of this in some way. They
knew, of course, that American
League agents were in town.
They tried to get hold of me, but
I avoided them.

1000 Birds Drunk
On Ru1nmed Grain,
Are Arrested

CAMDEN, N. j., July IA
Two thousand DRINKS surround

ing.
Nobody had been spreading
the rumor that the Volstead law
had been repealed. The in
ebriates were sparrows who got
their jag on grain soaked in
whiskey.
M. j. Jubanyik, custodian of
the city hall, conceived a novel
idea for Kidding the building OF
pigeons which have been nest
ing on the cornices. He soaked
two quarts of grain in whiskey
and spread it outside the build.
ing, figuring the birds would
come down to eat the grain,
get drunk, and then could he
caught.
The custodian's son stood by
with a big net to catch the
pigeons, but they were wise.
Not one came down. Not so
with the sparrows. They came
by the hundreds and were cap
tured.
The whiskey was the real
stuff, so anyone that wants
sparrows can have all they can
carry away. The city hall
sounds like bedlam as the birds
carry on old-fashioned barroom
conversations in stacatto SPAR
row chatter.
