Sports Nickna1nes
Really a Subject
for Deep Scholar
q New York Post.-WNU Service.

VERY now and then when one
- of the more erudite writing
masters runs short of rhetorical
pearls he glances at the poor folks
on the other side of the newspaper
railroad tracks. Then he lifts his
hands in horror and, when he brings
them down on a typewriter, another
little gem of a column dealing with
sports nicknames is completed.
It is a good racket with soft hours
and probably I will be labelled as
a green-eyed popinjay for bringing
up the subject. Yet, for the life of
me, cannot understand why these
high clerics of the literary world
dispose of this pet sports assign
ment with such superficial sneers.
For instance, a scholar might
spend some hours tracing to its
source the nickname of some IA
nous baseball player. Where did
he get the monicker and why? Is
he still called by the name which
distinguished him from his fellows
In college or sandlOt days? Or has
he had progressive series of such
titles while developing from farm
team to farm team on the way to
the big time?
After the scholar gets that over
with he can be faced with other
troubles. More often than not the
great athlete may have three nick
names-one known only to the art
lists who do occasional favors to
the world by writing pieces about
sports, one by which he is usually
referred to when fans or practicing
sports writer's mention him, one sell
dom used except in the family cir
Gle of his teammates.
There was Christy Mathewson.
"Matty" or "Big Six" are the
names by which this great pitcher
is most Familiarity remembered by
those who paid to see him play.
That other Bucknell alumnus,
Moose Mccormick, recalls though
that teammates seldom used such
a handle. They called him "Gum-
my" The name was derived from
the fact that when he first entered
the majors Mathewson f1oundered
around in the field as if he were
wearing gum boots.
Similarly there was the name
which Mel OFT has outgrown only
within the past season or two. In
1927 the very youthful OFT, already
a regular outfelder, was warming
up near the first-base boxes. ''My,
N.Y." exclaimed lady fan. "Just
look at him. Isn't he the spirit of
springtime" From thenceforth, in
the privacy of Giants dugout and
bridge games, OFT was Spring
time"

CHAPTER VI-Continued


Hammond swiftly crossed the
lowland toward Loon creek. The
workers along the stream passed
In blur. Far ahead, he sighted two
men, walking along the opposite
bank Hammond began to run.
Then, disregarding the rough bridge
ahead, he plunged into the stream.
Waist deep, he swirled through it
and clambered out the other side.
Then, dripping, he rushed forward.
Lew shade turned his weak face
at the sound of his approach. Then
suddenly gray-featured, he begged:
''Let me alone-let me alone!"
Hammond had growled, his big
arms had outstretched; now he was
on the man, bending him in his
grasp.
"Give me that money!" he COM
manded.
''Look here!" Kenning exclaimed,
as he turned back. whats all
this about?"
Hammond gave no heed.
Hear mel" he shouted at Lew
shade. "Give me that money!"
you're all wrong. I haven't got
any money!" The weak-featured
shade had caught the distended
wrists of the miner and was hanging
to them desperately. Hammond
bulged his heavy shoulders; shade
rose in his grasp, legs dangling
queerly, like those of a dummy.
''Shall I choke it out of you'll"
he asked. Quickly he threw the
man from him, then rushed him
for a new grip, his muscular fingers
widespread. shade struck out at
him, wildly; Hammond gave no ev-
idence that he felt the blows. Now
his hands, distorted with muscle,
ploughed deep into Shades throat.
''Look out, Jack!" Kenning shout
ed. you'll kill him!"
''What of it," growled the pros
pector. Then to shade, "Give me
that money!" Lew shade writhed
helplessly, gasping. "You know
what I mean; that money you stole
from Jeanne Towers" Lew shade
hesitated only second longer. Then
he raised his weak hands and point
ed to his throat. Slowly, Hammond
relaxed his grip. The man stag
gered about, with sagging knees.
''Well, get it! Don't stand there
stalling. Get out that money"
shade, still Keeling, paved for
his pockets. Currency, the nuggets,
the phial of golddust; slowly he
passed them over into the waiting
hands of Jack Hammond. The pros
pector turned to Bruce Kenning.
whats this rat to your"
''Why-nothing. We were just
talking about job"
"Be sure It's never anything more
than that" Black with rage he
turned to the gasping shade. ''Now
you-get over there on the Alaskan
side. And stay there. Do you un-
derstand?"
Slowly the man began to move
away, in the direction of the uncom-
pleted buildings of Around the
World Annie's dance hall.
A half hour later, his clothing still
soggy from the crossing of the
creek, he walked slowly down to-
ward Kay's claim. Something of
calmness had come now, calmness
and amaZement. For the first time
In his life, he had wanted to kill
a man. He did not know why. ALI
he could realize was that a blind,
murderous rage had held him, I'M
til at last Jeanne Towers money
was safe in his hands and he was
hurrying back to her cabin with it.

CHAPTER VII

Around the World Annie strobe
what passed as the streets of Sap
phire Lake upon an important mis-
sion. Summer had come now, with
its hot days, and almost incessant
light; Annie was dressed for it.
Jimmy Moon had brought her quite
a wardrobe on his last trip and
Annie was displaying a sample. A
long period of expenditure was
over; now she could announce to
this little northern world that she
was about to reap the profits.
Now and then Around the World
Annie paused in supreme survey,
for she was here on business. Pre-
ceding her, as she went through
town, were two men with hammers,
an arm full of placards, printed in
Vancouver, and a mouthful of
tacks. Gradually they were turn
ing the drabness of cabin exteriors
to screaming blasts of white and
scarlet:

White Snakeroot Poisonous

White Snakeroot is said to be the
most important poisonous plant on
the farm. This is a common wood
land species with opposite leaves,
fibrous roots and masses of hand
some little pure white flowers that
come into bloom during the late
Fall. From this innocent looking
plant poisonous principle called
trematol has been extracted, a
chemical that not only poisons live
stock but in addition may enter
the milk and cause human disease
known as milk sickness. This is
believed to be malady that dec
mated the pioneer population of the
Ohio River Valley region during the
early days, and it is held response
BILE for the death of Nancy Hanks,
the mother of Abraham Lincoln.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1937-06-10


to the character SO well portrayed
by Miss Le0nore Uric. Probably
the fame of the play is what really
did make the name stick to Cuyler
throughout all the years. But ac-
tually the names have little in COM
mon in way of pronunciation. Guy
Ter got his title because when play
ing center his two outfield mates
used to yell "Cuy" "Cuy" when he
was to take the ball.
Sometimes an athlete may have
two or three private nicknames
even while sojourning with his
mates. This is particularly true of
the Yankees whose most affection
ate name for the man variously
known as '"The Babe 'sThe Bam,"
and "The Big Feller," was cid
gie." Consider Lefty Gomez. Early
in the spring his teammates, for
some reason not investigated at the
moment, delighted in calling him
Weasel" Now, by virtue of the
fact that he stands straight up and
down much as do the hands of
clock at such an hour, he is known
as "Six o'clock" Such changes, of
course, make it almost as confusing
for new arrival in the dugout as
does the fact that Joe Glenn will
answer just as cordially whether
hailed as ''Clark Gable" or Crank
enStein."
Strangely enough some appropri-
ate names fade i'm the big time.
Lon Warneke, for instance, still is
known as Country" down in Arkan-
sas although none of his big city
friends would think of calling him
that. By the same token baptismal
names are not entirely barred in
sports no matter how much it may
pain the part-time sports-writing vir-
tuos0s to hear the news.
Two of them pop into mind. Mrs.
Dean would as soon start another
war with Jack Miley as call her
Dizzy anything save Jay" And at
Belmont the other day / heard a
veteT an friend refer to Pompoon's
trainer, widely acclaimed in the
press as ''Humpty Dan" Clark as,
of all names, "Cyril."

Meaning of Word Parasite

The word parasite is from Greek
words meaning eating at the table
of some one else. A plant or ami
NAL living in, on or with some other
living organism as host, at whose
expense it obtains food, shelter, or
some other advantage, is a para

Boys Taught Gambling

Boys at Cobha school, Redcar,
England, are receiving lessons in
book making on races, football
games and other sports. Demon
strations are given with cards and
dice and in laying of odds. The
school authorities state that pupils
are shown by mathematical proof
the folly of gambling.

A luncheon meeting of the Nau- gatuck Valley Club of Holy Cross College will be held next Saturday noon in the Court Hotel, it was an- nounced today by the club pres ident, Dr. M. J. Lawlor. At this meeting final plans for the annual reunion and banquet of the asso- citation will be made.

 All raffle tickets that were dis tr!buted this winter must be &C., counted for by next Saturday. No returns will be made the night of the banquet in order to avoid con- fusion, so Chairman John G.

Wilby scholarship fund that the club established 8 year ago and which will be awarded for the first time this fall.
