NEW YORK, Oct. Slave you heard the one about the two Swedes at the ball game?
 | We'll, it seems that a couple of l Swedes met on the Polo grounds to- day, a little Swede and big Swede. 1 The big Swede whose name wasn't Ole, | but Walter Johnson, said to the little Swede: Well, ny tank ay ban strike you out five time today"
 Whist and begorry," said the little Swede, whose name was not Axel, but | Freddie Lindstrom. Sure, and oi'H be knocking you out of the major leagues today, so I will. Wurra wurra." Now you may say: No Swede says I whist and begorry' or 'wurrra wurra. You've got the story of the two Swedes mixed up with the one about the two Irishmen."
 Got It At Loyola However, that's the story. The little 'wurra wurra" in a natural Chicago Irish brogue, which is thick and mushy and suggestive of 6 mouthful of tapioca pudding and he came by 1t honestly, too, for Freddie Lindstrom, the 10- year-old third basemen of the New York Giants, is an alumnus of Loyola Academy, Rogers Park, Chicago, and classmate of the Sweeneys and Fee neys, the Hogans and the Grogans, the Hanlons and the Scanlons and the Dunnes. By what insane prank of providence and the home for higher learning a Swede by the name of Lindstrom ever landed among the Irish at Loyola you may find out for yourself if you like. Anyway, that's where he first evinced the clutching claws of the best young third basemen in the major leagues, and it's where Jake Weimer, the old Giant pitcher, who is baseball coach of the Loyola Irish, started him on | wide detour from his original destina- tion, which was the plumbing busi- ness.
 Discovered Miracle Weimer wired John McGraw: Have discovered miraculous infielder; age IT {; makes Heinie Groh look like Halstead street car; sign him quick est.'
 McGraw's ten-word reply was fraught l with coarse laughter.
 "Jake Weimer, Loyola Academy, Chi cago," said the message. "Har-har 1; har-har; har-har; har-har; har-har. John McGraw." werner, however, was m a frantic kcondition of mind and at last, McGraw, to save the cost of answering Jake's telegrams, asked Dick Kinsella, the democratic politician and baseball scout, to run up to Loyola from his home in | Springfield, Ills, and see what, if any, thing, could be done to- quiet old Jake. Then Kinsella seemed to catch it from Weimer. The messengers were waking McGraw at many, if not all, hours of the night, and breaking his repose. So John gave in and sent on a contract to be signed by Freddie Lind strom. After watching the gangling school-kid at practice, McGraw decided
 he might make some use of him in the future and sent him to Toledo for a years experience in the American Asso- citation. This year he took Lindstrom to Sarasota, Fla, with the Giants, and when Heinie Groh's ancient tendons be- gan to fray around the angles late in the season, McGraw sent the little Swede to third base for the series with the Pittsburgh club, on which the pen ant depended.

 Wednesday afternoon which can be described in terms of the two Swedes.
