arrived in Chicago with a club in
rags and tatters-had to telegraph
for new uniforms-nearly every man
on the club had slid the seat out Of
his uniform pants. We had patched
and patched until the principal fea-
ture of our pants was safety pins.
Josh Devores clothes barely hung on
him and Doyle's and Merkle's, MUIR
rays and Herzog's were almost as
bad. Hitting the dirt repeatedly day

to quite a test. This telegram of ours

amusement at the time.
In the first game in Chicago Josh
Devore slid so completely out of his
patched-up brooches that Gordon Of

escort him off the field.
Players Show the Strain.
Toward the end of the season our
club was all worn out physically and
mentally. The strain had been too
hard and they were overtrained-
stale. That was an abstemious club.

he possesses the severe handicap of

my THIRTY YEARS IN BASE BALL"
BY JOHN J. McGRAW,
Neuv York Gians,T World Chanpons-

, We had no difficulty about rules of
conduct
That is one time that / favored the
use of ale or beer. The players were
going around with a haggard look in
their eyes and heavy lines in their
faces. Some one suggested that the
gang would like to see Wilbert Robin
son, who had been with US in the
training period. His jovial smile was
always a good tonic for the players.
He was in business in Baltimore at
the time.
Robbie showed up the next day.
AFTER looking the players over ne
asked them: who's dead around
here? What's the matter?'
Robbie Cheers 'Em Up.
With a few slaps on the back he
rounded the young fellows up and put
new spirit in them. He took Chle1
Meyers. Rube Marquard and others off
that night and made them take a few
glasses of ale. The pennant fight was
forgotten and they laughed over
spring training jokes. The psyche
little while the young fellows relaxed
and became natural again. They
spurted right ahead and won out.
Our club was pretty well worn out
and shot to pieces when we faced the
Athletics in the world series in 1911.
/ do not give that as a reason for our
defeat, but 1t was a contributing
cause. The main cause OF our losing
that series was the wonderful hitting
and pitching of the Athletics.
In that series we had two games
broken up by Home Run Baker, If
you will remember. incidentally,
both of these famous home runs were
made off pitches that had been de-
livered against orders. MarQuard
and Matthewson both pitched to
Baker contrary to my instructions. ]
do not mean to say that we would
have won the world pennant if that
had not happened. but we certainly
would have had better chance.
l had instructed Marquard not 10
pitch a high, fast ball to Baker, but he
forgot. He put one just in that spot
and Baker "whammed" il into the
stands. Strangely enough. Matthew
son. who rarely ever forgot anything
in his life. did exactly the same thing
when he pitched. After maneuvering
around awhile he handed Baker a
high, fast one In an effort to cross
him. Again Baker slammed il into
the stands.
MnrQuard's Sense OF Humor.
An amusing feature of those Incl
dents was the articles in the papers
by Marquard and Matthewson. Both
were writing signed stories on the
series Matty told how Marquard
had pitched the wrong ball to Baker.
When Marquard came out in his ar
ticle he agreed that Matty knew what
he was talking about because he
pitched the same thing. The players
and the fans had a good laugh out of
that For the first time we discovered
that MarQuard had sense of humor.

NEW YORK.-One hundred and
twenty-eight small orphans are to-
day sadly contemplating the failure
of their first organized effort to
break into society.
Led by Justice Gustave Hartman,
New York's bachelor judge, the or
phans. whose winter home is at the
Israel Orphan Asylum down on New
York's lower East Side, had looked
forward to spending the summer
amidst the fashionable colony which
yearly migrates out to Long Island
and, more particularly, Long Beach.
But the fashionable and exclusive
colony at Long Beach didn't want
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-07-14

them. Not, you understand, that the
colony isn't as fond of an orphan as
anybody in the world.
But to have the orphans elect to
come into their very midst! Long
Beach just couldn't see it. So they
secured an injunction against the
bachelor judge and his migrating or
phans. The injunction has just been
sustained.
IF Long Beach would once admit
the orphans 1t would become as
proud of them as any institution in
the city,"
And so Judge Hartman is going to
appeal from Judge Selah B. Strong's
decision and carry the injunction into
the Appellate Court.
