said Engel, so now have one on me-"
This year when Chattanooga mar
rowly lost the right to stage the
Southern Associations annual all-star
game, Engel was so saddened he
built himself crying cage in the
park. where he wept for all to see
Engel was one of the first baseball
men to realize the wisdom of night
baseball. Over the objections of the
Washington owners, he installed giant
arc lights at Lookout Field and paid
for them in the first season. The first
night game drew $4,000. setting a
minor-league attendance record.
Later, when attendance Jagged be-
cause of protracted losing streak.
Engel announced that he would give
away house to the fan holding the
lucky ticket stub. Fans stormed the
park, overflowing the field And the
winner of the house was man on
relief threatened with eviction,
To lure more ladies out to his ball
yard, Engel decorated the drab arena
with canaries in bright brass cages
Then he signed up girl pitcher -
probably the first female finger in the
history of organized baseball - and
sent her to the mound against the
New York Yankees in an exhibition
game. She struck out both Babe Ruth
and Lou Gehrig
Engel has always insisted that the
club owner should make it easy and
cheap for Father to take Junior to the
ball game. If he had his way children
would be admitted free every day
AS step in the right direction, Joe
has managed to get permission to pass
in members of the Sunday School
Knothole Gang, composed of boys who
attend Sunday school regularly
Which goes to show that Engel is
not all clown. What's more. he is one
of the keenest judges of talent in base
ball. For years he was the one man
scouting staff of the Washington club
and his finds" brought three pen
nants to the Capital in ten years.
While other weather. teams had a
dozen scouts, Engel ventured forth

outs. The club has captured the towns
imagination. just as it is threatening
to capture the league championship
despite the terrific odds of having to
compete with teams owned and oper-
ated by powerful major league clubs
Engel plays his fan-ownership game
to the limit. He calls stockholders
meetings right in the stands before
each game. There the fan-owners are
given the chance to voice their COM
plants and recommendations.
Engel got his idea for fan-owned
club some twenty years ago when he
was a much-abused wild young right
handler with the Washington team.
Sitting out in the bull pen day
after day." says Engel. Il could hear
the boys in the bleachers talk about
this and that and it set me to thinking
that it was shame they didn't own
the ball club. They were so enthu-

came home from the canebrakes with
such priceless discoveries as Joe
Cronin, Bucky Harris, AL Crowder,
Buddy Myer, Cecil Travis, Bump
Hadley. Fred Marberry, Buddy Lewis,
Joe Kuhel, Goose Goslin, and All
Wright. He got most of them for thd
cost of carfare.
Cronin was perhaps his most brill
liant find. Joe. several years before,
had been tried and found wanting by
the Pittsburgh Pirates and was vast
ing away in Kansas City. In fact thd
latter club was about to ship Joe I'd
a lower league when Engel came I'd
town. The Washington scout took ar1
instant liking, personal and profesi
sional, to the blue-eyed. serious yound
Irishman and bought him for S4 ,50OI
Clark Griffith, canny old hos (
trader himself, admits that he wa
furious at Engel for buying deadwood
But Cronin, after directing Wash
ington to a pennant and more thai
justifying his modest purchase price
was sold to the Boston Red Sox foI
S25O,OOO in cash. the largest pric
ever paid for single player.
1t was under the most unusual ci1
cumstances that Engel began hi
career as a scout. When the Senator
decided that Joe's major-league play
ing days were over. they sought t
get a bid for his services. Nlilwauk

terested so Griff agreed to straig

siastic and, very often, quite right in
their complaints. For instance, when
l went IN to pitch they would boo me
vociferously."
As soon as he stepped from the box
score into the box office. Engel started
giving the fans run for their money.
And. although he is a minor Lacquer,
his showmanship has become major
topic of conversation wherever base
ball men gather. They call him the
Barnum of Baseball because of his
publicity stunts and ballyhoo.
On one Opening Day, for instance.
he had his ball club ride into the ball
park on elephants.
On another occasion, when the base
ball writers questioned the value of
one of the players he bought, Engel
traded the fellow for turkey! And
then he invited the writers to dinner.

:" HE good burghers of the city Of
Chattanooga are fired with more
excitement these days than has
bestired them since the Battle of
Lookout Mountain. The Lookouts,
you see. are fighting for the Southern
Association pennant!
Now, a bound baseball
team might not be cause of un-
bridled civic joy in the ordinary
American city or town, but in Chatta-
nooga the citizens consider it a per-
sonal triumph, because theirs is ball
club of the people, for the people, and
by the people.
In Chattanooga - and only in
Chattanooga - the fan can walk
right up to the window and buy a
share of stock along with his ticket.
When he wants player bought he
doesn't fret futilely about tighthsted
owners; he votes to buy the player.
When he doesn't like the shortstop's
fielding or hitting, he doesn't burn in
his bleacher seat and yammer, "Yah,
yah, va bum. your; he sends for the
shortstop and tells him right to his
face just what he thinks of him.
Responsible for this happy situation
is forid-faced, genial ex-ballplayer
named Joe Engel. Two summers ago,
when the Washington Senators de-
cided to give up their farm" club at
Chattanooga, Engel, who had been
president of the club under the Wash
ington management, asked for the
right to buy the franchise. Engel
didn't have the necessary cash. but
Clark Griffith, Washington president,
gave him month in which to raise it.
Joe didn't rush to the nearest bank
He went to the nearest street corner
and. much the same as a newsboy
hoarsely hawking his papers. Joe ped
died stock to the astonished passersby.
wanna own a ball club? Wanna

The folks stepped right up and
bought the Chattanooga Lookouts.
By ones. twos, and tens and so on,

citizens of Chattanooga own the Look
