AIN'T IT A GRAND AND GLORIOUS FEELIN7
THE number of professional atlilctrs of the present time
who, harlns dropped out, niraln will takp up any
branch of uporta for the love of it can be counted on the
fingers or po.lbly the thumb of a onc-nrmed man. Tint

always d(d and nhvavs will, yet nt one time ho wo a
major Ifopie baseball player This remarkably rare
peclmen of American athlete l Harry McCormlck, known
to the fano of CooKan's bluff as Moose.
Moooe McCormlck. during his stay with the New
York Glanta a few jc.ir? ago. made a reputation as a pinch
hitter that will live a Ions as baseball, and yet during the
early clays of his athletic career he was not rated as a ball
player: In fact, almost tho reverse, according to his own
Morv.
"'I remember the first time 1 came back here utter I
jolnrd the New York club " said McCormick. "I wa
calkins alonx Chestnut street when I met n friend of
wine. "Well, what are you doitis: here?' ho uked me
I'm here with the New York club.' I replied. "U'hatdo
you mean the New York club?" he fired back. 'The New
Tork Giants.' I said. 'Aw. go on.' he reiterated, 'you
can't kid me. you ain't no ball plaer."
"So. that's the way 1 was considered when f first
broke In." the ex pinch pounder continued. "I was
always lucky here, thouch No matter who was pitching
or what he had. I could rack 'cm a mile in that old
rbillies' Park."
McCormlck has com ba.'k to Philadelphia to live
fter a fitful absence of man years. At the end of his
major lenpio career he tried out the managerial end of
the game, piloting the Chattanooga club of the Southern
Association, but he didn't like it and went with an Iron
concern in Pittsburgh, lie didn't care for that partlc
nlarly, either so Harry 1mall landed back In Philadel
phia and is located at '-MM Itace street with the Vulcan
Brailng and Machine Co.
This coming season McCormlck intends to manage nr

McCormick Was an AU-Rouml Athlete
WHEN Moose appeared on the athletic horizon of Phihi
delphia he was an all around man. He could do any
thing and do it well. He became well kuown as an ath
lete at Oirard College and later better known when he
entered IJucknell At I.ewi.sburg McCormick played half
back on the football team, and while performing on the
gridiron he became a close friend of Christie Mathewson
who also was n P.m knell athlete It was through Muth
ewson that McCormick later got a trial with the Giant'
and made good.
It Is worth mentioning that McCormick is one of the
few major league stars who never played minor league
baseball before his entrv into the select class.
"Playing major leag-ie baseball was all right in n
way." said McCormick. as he began to get really rcnn
ais'ecnt. "but i prefer amateur sports. Back In the old
days when we sometimes had to pay half of our own ex
penses was the time I really cnjoyi-d it. I know many
times I've been out on baseball and basketball trips with
Jack Itoden when we were lucky if we came out a dollar
eighty to the good. 1'nt we hud the real fun. As long as
I played for nothing. I had n great time, but as soon as I
tot paid for It it became work, and you know work is
work, no matter what the character of it."
Tho teams referred to bv Moose were the old Spalding
Athletic Club organizations of South Philadelphia. .lack
Itoden. who is still a popular and well-known figure in
Philadelphia sportsdom. was manager of the Spalding
football, baseball and basketball teams They were re.ilh
amateur in those days.
The Spalding football team won the amateur cham
pionshlp of Philadelphia in HJU. Among the Htnrs on
that team were McCormick. Or. Mike Ilennett. Cniver
nicy of Pennsylvania, now coach of the Hcverford College
eleven; Tom hare and Uonachee, one of the best quarter
backs in the country. Uonachee never went to college
and therefore was never a nalioual figure on the gridiron
but ho was a great player and many i alleges wanted to get
him to nintrlculatr.
Tho Spalding basketball teams on which McCormick
was n guard played in all of the chief sports centers of
Pennsjlvnnia, New York and New Jersey, besides meet
ing tho best teams in Philadelphia.
Among the notable achievements of McCormlck while
he wns under Jack Itoilen's wing was a basketball game
lit Ilridgeton. That lltfle South Jersey city had a quintet
that went unbeaten for many .wars until the Spalding
five met them nt Ilridgeton one night. It was n, fierce
battle, but Moose went goal -crazy. Hesides playing n fine
defensive gnmo, he shot nine field goals. Ills work turned
the tide to n Spalding victory and the first defent for
Ilridgeton.

clphin and not the llcds was stung in the recent
deal by which the Cincinnati club passed over two men
for one 13arle Neale and Jimmy King for I'ppa ltixey.
Neale, who doesn't, wish to play here, so they say, ami
who hes been angling for a big ralso in his pay as a col
lege coach, has got the raise he wished, has been offered
plenty of money and is ready to give up the professional
game. That leaves the Philadelphia club holding the bag
and Jimmy King, as the deal Ins been dnlv ratified and
proclaimed. All responsibility is off the shoulders of Pat
Moran and August Herrmann. Neale didn't wish to go
to Philadelphia nnd was anxious to get n transfer to
Pittsburgh. The Mnranville deal, leaving Pittsburgh short
ono outfielder, mads him doubly eager to get Into the
Pirate camp, and he started a string of letters to both
President P.aker nnd President Herrmann. He urged
Maker to make some deal with the Pirates and he nslced
the good offices of Herrmann in n rearrangement of the
Cincinnati-Philadelphia trnde.
Neale was Informed by both magnates that notiiing

pany which has interests nt Marietta, the lively little
ollege in the Ohio town. This gentleman, so the story
comes from Marietta, has engineered a deal whereby

Abraham Lincoln Real Sportsman
THE celebration of the I-mancipator's birth nnniwrsiry
at Tia Juiina by the running of the Lincoln Handicap
was participated in by the governor of Mcxicali. Senor
Manuel Halarezzo. who occupied the seat of honor In a
box draped with the Mexican colors of green and red.
surrounded by the Mexican Iloyal Hand, which ser
enaded the throng, mostly Californians.
Was that kind of telebration altogether out of plate
for the memory of Lincoln? It should be remembered
that Lincoln took a keen interest in various kinds of
sports and excelled as a wrestler. Hack in Illinois Abra
ham Lincoln traveled miles to accept a challenge from the
"Carey boys" to wrestle with the champion of their
number, and in a rough arena in the woods the athletic
woodchopper threw his opponent and pinned him to the
greensward 'llie sport side of Lincoln has been greatly
overlooked by the public.

The climax to this scheduled eight
round contest occurred with twelve sec

third round, lleginnlng with the open

to push his head in Kramer's face.
Brennan immediately warned Iloy to be
careful, and after a few more Hlmllar
moves on the part of Moore the latter
again wus cautioned.
During the rest period between the

100,000 miles is ordinary per
formance for a White Truck.
Many have made 200,000 miles;
some 300,000; a few 500,000
and they are still in active serv
ice, doing a full day's work. .
Spread over many years, your
investment in a White Truck
becomes a very small item in
the cost of hauling. It gives
you at once the cheapest and
the most reliable transportation.
Business needs that kind of
machinery now more than ever.
