of a pool cue, for only recently have
new facts come to light and revealed
that somebody was pulling a lot Of
wool over lot of peoples eyes.
The Washington Ball Club, which
procured Jimmie early in January.
ostensibly from the Minneapolis club
of the American Association, can plead
not guilty to the alleged crime. II
there came a showdown there might
be charge of Clark Grifiith being an
accessory, but nothing could be done
about it and less proved.
1t seems it was the Cleveland club
that winked at the loose laws of base
ball. became panicky when somebody
blew the whistle on Bob Feller and
unloaded Wasdell to Washington with
all the alacrity of a fence" Kidding
himself of what the boys in our Sc.
call hot stuff"
He's Quite q Traveller.
COME one who should know whereof
he speaks blew the whistle on
Wasdell in private the other day and
disclosed that Jimmie's climb in base
ball has been marked by direction
that was strikingly butchered like that
given to Feller.
He came from the famous
SandIots Of Cleveland, did Jim
mie. and the Indians took him
to camp in 1885.
He was then signed over to New
Orleans, farmed out to GAINESVILLE,
transferred to Minneapolis. sent to
Nashville and, finally climaxing this
dizzy scenery shifting, recalled by
Minneapolis late last season.
1t was just about that time that
somebody put the blast on the
Indians handling of Feller and the
Tribes front ONCE. 1t seems they had
not played Feller in the minors
enough and. allegedly, they had
played Wasdell too much and failed
to observe all the rules. including
putting his name on the reserve list.
The ruling on the Feller
case, Of course, was too recent
and we'll remembered to bear
much repetition.
Anyway. Judge Lands rendered
both q farcial and excellent decision
by turning his cheek and awarding
Cleveland an almost clean slate and
Feller.

In that case young Mr.. Wasdell

destined to spend the next few years
