.."rvISCOVERY" of alt players who
Ay later developed Into major league
stars forms one of the most fascinating
of studies. In many of the Instances
there Is a romance connected with the
"detective work."
One of tho most conspicuous cases
which has come iccently fo my nttcntlon,
writes Malcolm MacBcan, Is that of
Fred Merkle. This former Olant ftrst
tacker Is doing some notablo work with
the Cubs nnd ranks among the first two
Initial sackers In both leagues The story
of the way Merkle was discovered wao
told by Charles Webb Murphy, formerly
president of the Cubs
John T Brush, tho late owner of the
New York Giants, signed up Merkle un
beknownst -to McGraw, nnd he did it In
a way that perhaps has never been
duplicated In major league baseball.
Brush told hit experiences In the case
to Murnhv. considering It too good to
icep.
An Exceptional Barber
Some years ago John T. Brush went
to Mount Clemens, Mich , In search ot
health. He found the waters there of
Infinite benefit to his rheumatism. Brush
got Into the habit of going to a certain
barber dally for his shave, liking tho
man because he said little, nnd when
he did speak It vvas to say something
really worth while.
This barber. In some way or other,
learned that Brush was tho owner of
the famous New York Giants. He was
I himself a fan and took considerable In
terest in the doings or tne .Mount Clem
ens nine.
One day, as Brush .ay back In the
chair enjoying the shave, theb nrber
said, "Arc ou looking for a great ball
plavcr, Mr. Brush""
The question rather startled Brush
"Why, es," he replied. "I'm always
on the outlook for ball players"
Introducing Merkle z
"Well, then, I Know where you can
get hold of one. a fellow who looks like
a comer. He plavs on our local club
here, and came from a school In Toledo
His name Is Frank Merkle."
"What does he play? ' asked tho head
of the Giants.
"First base."
Brush thought a few moments be
fore repljlng. Fred Tenney, his own
first sacker, was getting old and slow
ing up. So he look the hunch.
He said: "Send for Merkle to come
here to the shop. I'll sign htm right
up."
This was Immediately done, anil Fred

Merkle attached his name to a New
York Giant contract. It was a quick
decision and a rapid rise for the youth.
Later, when Brush reached New York,
he mentioned the fact to his manager,
McGraw. "I've got a new first sacker
for jotf, M.ac," ho added.
"That so? Who recommended htm?"
"A barber in Mount Clemens, Mich."
"Great Scott' Does he know anything
about baseball?"
"Can't say as for that But I was
attracted to him because he didn't insist
on shampoo and the rest of It after he
finished shaving me"
Evers Recommended Zimmerman
Charles Murphy then related how he
happened to obtain Heinle Zimmerman,
the temperamental thlrd-sacker now with
New York "Johnny Evers, then at the
pinnae'e of. his. playing fame, visited at
Troy, N. Y., his home, for a few days,"
said Murphy. "While there he took In a
game between tho Troy and Wilkes
Barro teams.
"On returning to Chicago he Imme
diately recommended Zimmerman, of the
Wllkes3ano club, to me. "What does
ho pjay?' I asked. 'Second base,' said
Hvcrs. 'Well, wo certainly aro In need
of a second sacker, Johnny,' I replied.
" IHe can certainly hit the ball hard,
though,' said Lvers, In tnswer to a
question. 'He didn't make any hits the
game I saw him In, but he takes a ter
rlblo wallop '
, "All that week I kept Zimmerman In
mind and watched his doings by means
of bo scores In less than a week I no
ticed ho got flvo hits one a homer, one
a tilple, a double and two singles. He
did look as If he was a clean-up man.

the league, asking him If he would rec

"In reply Farrell wired to forget that

I could. Then I called up A. J. Lynch,
president of the Wllkes-llarre club, by

I accepted tho terms I asked him to
