HALE CHANGES GLOVE:
BECOMES BIG Lacquer

Wien Tyrus Cobb became manager
Of the Detroit team in the spring of
1921 there reported to him in San An
tonic, Tex. training camp Sammy
Hale. an infelder.
Cobb liked Hale because he could
hit, but Hale's fielding was the first
big worry of the new manager. Hale's
hands were anything but sure He
played ground-hit balls badly and he
fumbled more frequently than not,
Finally Cobb decided that Hale was
unable to field because the glove he
wore was too small. He tried to in
duce Hale TO adopt a large, loose-fit-
ting fielder's glove, but Hale stuck to
his little brown one. claiming that it
felt more comfortable.
Hale did not change his glove. his
fielding failed to improve and Detroit
released him soon after the start Of
the season.
Detroit still had claim on Hale,
but when a chance came to get Her
61an Pillette and Sylvester Johnson
from the Portland club for $4,000
cash and five players. Hale became
one of the five that Portland got, and
IL is this same player whom Connie
Mack has bought for his Athletics at
a fancy figure.
Since going to the coast he has de-
veloped into good fielder and con-
tinues to slug the ball.

leaving Detroit Hale became a con-

Though we have had no rumors
about post-season games being fixed
since the world series idea began
excepting the Black Sox scandal OF
1919-you will remember that for
several years a sensation was started
every fall about ticket speculation. 1t
all comes from the demand for seats
being greater than the supply. Any

centage of the public Is going to be
discontented and disgruntled. There
is no way out of il. Peevishness is

Rochester club officials claimed to-

Gently received telegram from him
prepared to join the international
League club. The secretary of the
Rochester club stated that, not caring
to use the telegraph wires in this
connection. he at once got in touch
with Conlon by long distance phone
and that club and player in the en-
suing conversation came to terms.
Conlon. said the secretary, told him
he had determined to enter profess
sional base ball and was ready to
he left college last June he had not
intended to become a paid player.
Put Deal on Record.
Immediately after this conversation
the Rochester club states that it
wired John II. Farrell of the Ma
tional Association of Base Ball Clubs
announcing that it had accepted
ceptance OF terms is equivalent to a
contract. and for that reason Roches-
ter lost no time in putting Conlon on
record. The club also declares that
IL telegraphed Conlon. formally &C
cepting his terms, in order that the
transaction might be fully completed.
The next thing Rochester knew an
announcement was made from Boston
that the Boston Nationals had signed
Conlon to contract and intended to
play him at shortstop this season.
The announcement said that Conlon
had agreed to the Boston terms. in
spite of the fact that he had had Of
fers from other clubs.
Rochester at once brought the mat
ter to the attention of Commissioner
Lands and arrangements were made
for Conlon to appear before the COM
mi SSioner today.
1t was reported some time back
that Conlon had been offered the po-
sition of coach to the Harvard fresh
man team, and 1t is assumed that the
Harvard authorities took it for grant
ed that this would prevent his entry
into professional base ball. Harvard
alumni, in view of recent discussions
as to amateur sport in the colleges
appeared somewhat disturbed over
the matter today, as Conlon seems
not only TO have signed with Boston
but to be in jangle with another
club.
