HIS GLOWING
ON PATHS Tres
MANAGER
But George Whitted's Brother
Was Taking No Chances
on Betting Fan

George Whitfield, last season with
Toledo, has a brother who also was
q ball player. Brother Whit, as he
was known in baseball circles, while
never attaining the fame that
George did, was a good consistent
hitter, but always inclined to do a
little clowning. AS a minor league
team leader Win Clarke was a
rather even-tempered individual, but
some Of Whits stunts certainly made
Win rave. Several seasons ago in
a game at Greensboro, n. c., the
eighth inning rolled around with
Wins club needing three r''n % lie
Two men were on the bases and
Whitfield next at bat.
As he took his position at the
plate fan yelled, Hey, Whit. Ten
dollars for a three base hit"
Whit socked the ball deep into
right field. He could have made a
homer, tying the score, but he
didn't Hustling to third, he pulled
one Of his stunts of squatting on
the bag. Whit's teammates rose
on masse and yelled, waved and
tried every move they could think
of to make the comedian complete
the circuit. Luckily he scored a
minute later. When the inning
ended Clarke. still raving asked
Whit what was the big idea.
oh" answered Whit, that guy
yelled ten buck for a three-base hit
didn't he? Well, 1 wasn't taking
any chances on him backing out on
four-bagger."

on Sam Jones. Sam is a great
pitcher-an easy-working, deliberate
type whose control gives him an
advantage in any company. Last
year a sore arm hampered Sam
throughout the season, and eventu-
ally he became so worried that his
work was affected from that stand,
point.
But this is another year, and

O'DAE SEES DIG.
DIFFERENCE IN
PLAYERS
Old Time Performers Didn't
Carry Grudges Against
Umpires Forever

Hank O'Day. veteran National
League umpire, recently said that
the game Of baseball has changed
entirely in the last thirty years.
O'Day has particular reference to
the types of players. 1.-THE old
timer played harder because he
loved the game more and thought
less of how much he was going to
get for his efforts.
"In the old days the players
fought the umpires, but after the
game all the fussing was for
gotten. The next day was a new
game. The modern player can re-
member a close decision you gave
against him for three years back.
Love of base hits, greater love
Of money, and too many alibis hurt
the standard Of present day play"
says O'Day.

Jess Petty, Of the Indianapolis
club, was the most effective
pitcher in the American Association
for the season OF 1924, according
to the official averages. He won
90 games and lost 8, and his effect

of 500 earned runs per game.

FORD PURCHASE PLAN

Families of moderate or limited

coming part Of bank account un-
til such time as the purchaser has
a sufficient sum to take delivery

Details of the operation OF the

lively few daily enrollments during
the first month, the number has
steadily risen until now more than
seven hundred people are enroll

endorsement Of the plan.
The records also show that there
are at present more than 10000
persons on the weekly Purchase

900 already have received their

Those figures seem to bear out

consequent embarrassments, and
instead afford a practical means
