George Cockill Has a New Plan; May Keep Two Teams Fusy Would Mean Interesting Preliminary Games at Home and Abroad; Up to the Local Officials Manager George Cockill writing 1 from his home at Lewisburg, suggests another plan for the preliminary sea son work. He has enough men signed up to have two teams working. The new plan is to pick two teams and have them play each other a ser ies of games. The winner of the series will be the team to make the trip through New York State league territory and the second team will! remain at home to fill the engage- j ments at Island Park. This will give the stronger squad dn opportunity to "RUBE" WADDELL IS DEAD; GREAT TWIRLER Noted For His Many Eccentricities; Pitched in Harrisburg Ten Years Ago San Antonio, Texas, April 2. George Edward Waddell, the famous "Rube," as he was known wherever baseball is played, died at a sanato rium here late yesterday, a victim of tuberculosis, after a long fight for life. Waddell, once one of the greatest of base! .11 pitchers, came to West Texas four months ago, already weakened by pulmonary trouble, but buoyant and hopeful that a few months would see him restored to health and "back in the game." John Waddell, "Rube's" father, and his mother arrived from Boerne two hours after their son died. A sister, who lives here, is the only other sur viving relative. Burial will be made here to-morrow. George Edward Waddell, one of the greatest of pitchers, was noted nearly as much for his eccentricities as for his ability as a ball player. In the seventeen years lie spent In profes sional baseball he held positions with twelve teams, and, Including "return engagements," had fourteen jobs. His longest term of service was with the Philadelphia Athletics, where, under the watchful eye of Connie Mack, he pitched winning ball for a half-dozen seasons. j Waddell shared with Robert Glade I the strike-out record of the American (League. On July 29, 1908, while | pitching for the St. Louis Americans, j to whom lie had just been released i by Manager Mack, he fanned sixteen of the Athletics, his former team mates. Waddell was born in Butler, Pa., | October 13, 1876. When 20 years of age, or in 1890, he pitched his first professional ball with the Oil City I (Pa.) team, and the next year, after a brief career with the Volant College (Pa.) nine, he entered "big league" baseball as a member of the Louisville National League team. The pace in such fast company was a bit too fast for him, however, and after a few j weeks' engagement with Detroit he re- i turned to his native State and joined the Homstead team. In 1899 a scout for the Columbus team recommended him and he was j drafted by that organization. The next year he was attached to the Louisville club, but when the Louisville players were transferred to Pittsburgh he went along. The American League war, signal for a general period of players' "jumping," gave Waddell the opportunity for another change, and he became a member of the Mllwau- j kee club in 1900. Waddell joined the Chicago Na tionals in 1901 and pitched a few great games for the team under Jack Doyle. In 1902 he jumped the Chi cago club to the Los Angeles "Out laws," but returned again to organized ball, joining the Athletics. 7rom 1902 to 1908 he was a star of Mack's team, and then, showing Indications of a re turn to his old habits, Waddell was sold to the St. Louis Americans. A flash of his famous skill helped the Browns in the great battle they made for the American League pennant in 1908, but at the end of the next sea son he was released to Newark. The Minneapolis club bought Wad dell in 1910, and he was two years with that club. Illness began to get the better of him, and last Spring he was added to the roster of the Min neapolis Northern League club. "Rube" Waddell pitched for the Athletics against Harrisburg In 1904. Later he pitched in an exhibition game at Steelton. One of Waddell's hob bles was to stray away from the Ath letics or any other team with whom he' had signed and play with some semi-professional club or go hunting and fishing. One time Waddell come to High sirtre, and later turned up in Harris burg. He practiced with the Harris burg players. One of the best tricks Waddell ever pulled off when playing against lower class teams was l.is ninth inning stunt. Waddell would wait until two men were out, when he would call every man off the field except the catcher. He would then give the men at the bat three balls, and follow it up with three strikes. II was a big hit with the ?pectuton» ht&khxbburg telegrxph ] work against league teams and at the same time permit those at home to get into form. As a final arrangement, it is pro posed to have the two teams play each other again before the regular season opens, and the players showing the best form will then be picked for the regular team. Manager Cockill will be here later in the week. Local fans do not like the idea of the team being away during the entire prelimi nary season, and the plan suggested by Manager Cockill would mean games at home for two weeks.
