The eyes OF Reddy Fox looked as
lift hey were trying to pop right out
of his head. He was staring down
into a little pool of sea water. On
the other side of that little pool
also looking in. was Graywing the
Gull. oh, my goodnessl What is
happening now exclaimed Reddy
can you see them, GrGywing? Car
you sc them p Reddy was getting
excited.
Now, Reddy had ben watching a
curious little creature called a Sea
Horse. OF course, it wasn't horse
Mt all 1t really was a fish. But il
had a head shaped very much like
that of horse, and when it swan,
1t was upright in the water. When

little fellow he had his tail curled
around stem of grass Then he
had let go of the. grass and startcd
10 swim, and Reddy thought he had
never seen anything more interest
ing in his life.
But the thing that had caused
nun to exclaim was something that
had happened while he was looking.
It was nothing more nor less than
funny surprise party. Ont from
that funny little fish, from a big
pocket, had appeared dozens of lit
lie things which Reddy knew with
out being told must be little Sea
Horses. They must be, because they
had come out of that curious pocket
which the Sea Horse lie had been
watching carried. Reddy thought
they never would stop coming out.
He thought some went back in
again, but Of this he wasn't sure.
You see, there We're so many OF

watchof all of them. They didn't
look much like Sea Horse, but

Reddy nodded. Yes said he.

he.
Well said Graywing. 1.-THE eggs

NEW YORK. Dec. 22,--No legal
obstacle exists ITO embarrass the New
York Giants in taking over the con
tract of Rogers Hornsby, playing
manager Of the ST. Louis Cardinals
James c. Tierney, Giants secretary
told the United Press today.
Tierney said he had conferred with
the clubs counsel on the protest sent
to Commissioner Lands by the st
Louis Chamber of Commerce. In
which the chamber sought Lands
assistance in preventing Hornsby's
departure.
Hornsby's contract, Tierney said,
was already in the possession of the
New York club and the contracts Of
Frank F'risch and Jimmy Ring, who
went to st. Louis in exchange, were
in the mails en- route to st. Louis
today.
Referring to suggestions that the'
New York club was buying another
pennant," Tierney said the prop
osition to make the trade originated
with the st. Louis club and that no
money was exchanged, He said that
ell remained to be done was for the
clubs to reach agreements with the
players involved.

placed in the same category as Cobb.
Then, failing in his effort to get
his unconditional release on the
ground that he was ten-year man
in the major league, which would
have enabled him to accept a fat
contract with a National League
club that wanted his services, Leon
ard spilled the beans, so to speak.
The facts make il seem that per-
sonal revenge has actuated Leonard
throughout the entire affair. Baked
in his effort to stick in the big show,
he decided to drag down with him
those whom he believed had sent him
to the minors.
The attitude of Leonard In the
present expose is rather typical of
his temperament as a player. To use
the slang of baseball, Leonard never
was regarded as real game guy.
Easily Upset
When one of his teammates made
an error. instead of accepting the
miscue as a break of the game, he
would stage a storm scene that
would put to shame any outburst of
Ziegfeld beauty when some adj
mirer presented her with oliver"
instead of the expected Rolls Royce.
Leonard was one of those pitch
ers who always liked to pick his
spots. He would pitch often to
the teams against which he was
effective, but either had sick
stomach or sore arm when
named to work against club that
liked his stuff.
Leonard was a southpaw with
good speed and a fast-breaking
curve, a truly great pitcher. had he
possessed the proper heart and tenn
permanent.
He dotted on pitching against clubs
that had five or six left-handed bat
ters in the lineup. Left-handed bat
ters are considered easy picking for
southpaws.
Scored Umpires
Curve ball pitchers like to keep
an old ball in play. An old ball is
much easier to grip than a slippery
new one.
ANY time an umpire tossed
brand new ball to Leonard in a
pinch he Immediately would start
singing the blues about how the
officials I'm charge Of the game
never gave him any but new balls.
As a matter of fact, when the UNI
pire reaches into his ball pocket
for IL ball. he HASN'T any idea what
kind is coming out, new or old.
Leonard's accusations. regardless
of the truth or falsity OF them. have
done no good. They have simply
satisfied what he has regarded as a
personal score, dragging into a most
unpleasant situation the mothers,
wives and children of the players
involved.

DIAMOND SPORT LIKE
OTHER BIG BUSINESS
League Baseball Being Organized for Profit Is Subject
to Human FaiIings Occasionally.

Organized baseball is coming face
to face with the realization that it is
a business proposition, quite as
much as a sport. The ostrich bust
ness no longer works.
Lands Uses Foresight
To succeed as a business PROPOSE
ton, however. baseball must con-
tinue on a strictly sporting basis.
That is why Judge Lands, who
sees clearly beneath those shaggy
white eyebrows is wise in his reali-
cation that baseball will do better
with sixteen big league teams made
up Of sophomores who are really
trying to win than with the heroic
figures who may gallop around the
base paths on feet OF clay.
The game has just enjoyed a seas
on of unprecedented prosperity
Long before the last fan paid his
$1.10 at the turnstile this scandal Of
1919 was known. but 1t was saved
for winter, when forgetting is easier.
BY next spring it will be forgotten,
and organized baseball-"The Ma
tional Pastime"-wilI go on to bigger
and better gate receipts.
Leonard Held a "Club"
Judge Lands had no choice other
than to break" the story which sent
Ty Cobb and Iris Speaker into the
baseball limbo with their records be-
smirched. If the high commissioner
had not done so, Dutch" Leonard
would have run to some newspaper
with his story.
The point is that baseball, being
big business, is subject to the human
failings Of those who play it.
Bernie" Boland, who pitched the
now famous game which Cleveland
is supposed to have thrown" TO De-
troit, says he figures one game in
800 or so is crooked"
All the recodile tears wept over
the departed Speaker and the la
mented Cobb will not obliterate the
fact that the game of baseball is or
ganized for profit, and that if the
players themselves decide to cut in,
here and there, that is part of the
fortunes of sport.

WORKED many ball games

1aYcr make any adverse comment
ls ~ his ability.
Under such treatment Coveles-
lSie thrived. became one Of the
best soutbpaws in the American
league. No spot was too tough
for him. Any time the Tigers
were hard pressed Coveleskie
would invariably request Man

to pitch the game.
The word yellow as applied to
Coveleskie was most undeserved
yet for years he worked under that
handicap. Sport Is filled with SINH
