Benjamin F. Shibe,
Owner of A's, Dies
i ""
Continued from Tore One
incident te his position as csscutlve of
the organization.
Few In the grcnt army of baseball
fans would have recognized the kindly
faced president of the Athletics had he
been met eh the street. But the mnn
who Invented the modern baseball, the
man who gave this city its greatest base
ball plant. Shlbe Park, and the man who
always steed four-square for Integrity,
progress In the right direction, nnd
sportsmanship In bnsebnll, will live in
tne memory of local fans ns long ns the
structure that bears, his name.
Fer nearly forty years the game had
been his study; for the snme two-score
years It hed absorbed meat of his ener
gy, most of his waking thought.
.. Anient Fan
Though an invalid for scvernl years,
and a cripple, the baseball pioneer
maintained an active interest in both
his club nnd the gnmc.
He stnrted penniless as the driver of
a horsecer 'through the streets of Phila
delphia. Ills nctlve mind nnd sporting
proclivities made him n censtnnt associ
ate of the back let ball games where the
bnll, In these days, was mostly a hand
made affair. Yeung Shibe had a cer
tain talent for sewing up a let of yam
and "stuffing" into a presentable base
ball. They could "bust" the product
of "Ben" Shlbe's skillful fingers just a
little farther, and his work came te be
In demand.
He put most of his spore time into
the work, began te leek around for bet
ter material, and ns they kept coming
te him for his product, young Shibe
found the business profitable and
thoroughly diverting.
He, therefore, gave up his hersecar
job, nnd opened a' little 'establishment
with his brother for the manufacture
of baseballs. As the business continued
te flourish, it wns iherged with the A.
J. Bench Ce. In 1882. A) Bench, a
famous ball player at the time, wns
glad te enst his let with the ingenious
Shlbe. This company, through the In
ventions, application nnd power of
"Ben" Shlbe's charncter behind it, has
reached the position where it makes all
the baseballs in the two mnjer leagues,
as well as the majority of the miner
leagues.
By Machinery
The start of the manufacture of base
balls wns by hand, but Mr. Shlbe him
self Introduced many marvelous and
Intricate machines, through which the
output was greatly iuei eased and the
cost lessened. Kvcry part of baseball
manufacture is new by machine.
Mr. Shibe was net satisfied, however,
with this phase of the weik alone. Ills
great achievement in the manufacture of
baseballs was the introduction of the
rerk center. He substituted u cork
euro for ihe small leuud piece
of rubber formerly used which
added considerably te the life of the
sphere, increased the batting and made
besebnll a much mere enjejnble spec
tacle. Through all the years his ideas and
works te the interest of the game have
been just u step in ndvance.
Te Ids genius nnd business sense is
due the largest manufacturing house of
baseballs in the world, nnd It's here
ir. Philadelphia.
But Mr. Shibe'a interest in the game
was such that he wus net content te
stay long en the outside. He became n
stockholder of the old Athletics nnd
didn't mind the less of a few thousand
ih'llnrs nt the time in the pursuit of
integrity and uplifting the standards of

llill "seer" proposed a $1,000,000
stadium, a great monument and lu lu
clesure te seat the threiign which he
felt (crtain would continue in increasing
numbers te turn out for the game.
"Haebiill is here te stay ami glow."
snid Shibe. "I will build n fitting house
for it in my city."
Cennie Deeply Grieved
"Words are Inadequate te express
my grief ever the death of Mr. Shlbe.
The information has just come te ine
and I am unable te say just new us
many things as I would like te about
I htm,"" said Cennie Mack, In his eUicc
at Shibe l'nrk, this morning.
"Mr. Shlbe wns the originator of
the concrete tier stands which have
been built In virtually every league
park in the country. He was a won
derful man in the baseball world.
While he was never known, that Is,
generally, te have taken an active part
in the ninnageinent of affairs here, jet

"Fery baseball plnjer l.news he'

ADVENTURES
Wolves in the Weeds
Iljr BADDY
Jack and Janet go coasting ic(th
the rabbits in the moonlit weeds.
Twe strange animals offer te drag
their sleds up the hill. These
animals preve te he wolves. Jack
and Janet trick the wolves by
stuffing thtlr coats with bushes and
then dropping off the sleds.
CHAPTER VI
Wolves Before, Wolves Behind
HELTER, skelter, down the hill
rushed the two hungry wolves
seeking Jack nnd Janet. The children,
crouched behind the sheltering rocks,
put en their coats and wondered what
te de.
They had te mnke up their minds i
a hurry, for the two wolves might come
searching back up the hill. Worse than
that, the wolf pack was drawing near.
Perhaps the keen noses e the wolves
already had scented them.
If the children stayed where- they
were they would be caught In another
minute. If they tried te run, the swlft swlft swlft
foetcd pack would quickly run them
down. Ilow could they escape?
"We must slide," whispered Jnck.
"We must bllde down the hill en our
sleds."
"But the two awful wolves are wait
lug there 1" shuddered Janet.
"Maybe I can steer around them,
whispered Jnck.
He lay pn the front sled, and Janet
sprawled en the leoend enie. Jack gave
a sheve with his feet nnd away they
eUd.
They were net an Instant tee seen.
As the' cnlned speed the wolf peck
cnught sight of them nnd breke into its
hunting cry. The swiftest of the wolves
dashed nt them, caught up with them,
snapped nt them. Janet kicked the
nearest wolf lit the snout. It tried te
jump bnck, slipped, nnd went down,
with the ether wolves sprawling ever
It. By the time the wolves picked
themselves! up the sleds were going se
fust the wolves couldn't catch them.
But down below were the two wolves
that hnd drawn, the uled up the hill.
Jnck suw he couldn't steer the sleds
.around' the. wolves. If lie did se he
might bung Inte a tree. And If he did
that the wolves would hnte them In a
jiffy.
Se Jack did a (Taring thing he
steercl frtrnlght at the wolves. The
beasts were astonished. Tje late they
saw what he was going te de. They
tried te jump aside. Jack held the
sleds straight for them, and ducked
his head.
Bump! Wham! The sled hit the
legs of the first wolf, knocking hlin
semersnulting in the air. Bump.
Wham! The sled sent the second wolf
flying hend ever heels Inte a ripping
theril tree.
Wlilzzcty! Wheppcty! The sleds
sped down the hill, faster, faster, fast
er. Suddenly they were in the jurd
around the bungalows. They hit a
snow bnnk there. Over went the sleds
and Jack and Janet went flying off.
In Heme stranuu way Jack (lew Inte
his own bed, nil undressed again, Am
Janet Hew into litr own bed.
Outside en the hlii (he wolves
howled. Inside the bungalows Toddle
Bupklns nnd Johnny Bull barked. Jack
hnd Janet bulled their heads under the
covers. They were glnd they were safe
and snug In the safest and snuggc.M
dace en earth their own beds nt
nunc.
(Next week will be told another nd-
Nenture of the weeds tn which Jack 1
