Coffeyville to work for the White Sox
:. And he gave Matty a bad licking
E. E. after the game the promoter men
toned the subject of dough to the

'Why, I didn't want money"
said Walter. 81 just wanted to
work against this fellow Math-

But johnson knew his value as
regular performer q. He threatened
to jump to the Chicago Feds in 1914
when Joe Tinker offered him $4,000
for years pitching And Wash
ington had to promise long-term
contract at plenty of megs per season
to keep him from going johnson
always was one of the niftiest dreSsers
in the game :. And something Of q
cynic as well He never used the

rison, who looks after w. G. Becker's
craft, assigned us boat with two
attendants. w. A. Lowery and Eugene
Faulkner, who had a job handling
her in the billowing water.
But our failure to catch many fish
was made up in great measure by the
royal hospitality Of Becker, who is
monarch of about all he surveys at
Plum Point. They are accommodating
