THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 30, 1011. PACK T PINO DODIE IN SOLID WITH HIS BOGS. Soon after the Chicago White Sox reached home niter tholr first trip abroad Mr. Bodlo, the nble fence bustnr. called on Sir. Comlskey. When the preetlngs had subsided they got down to business. "Well, Mr. Bodlo, what can I do for you?" Inquired tlie president of tho club. A?. "T would like to get some mon ey, Mr. Co mlskey." 4 n o vr much, Mr. Bodlor "About $200." "Oh, I uodie. s(lVi Mr Bodlo, that lsnt eriough. Ask me for more." "But thnt Is all I need, Mr. Co mlskey." "Nix on that modest stuff," re plied Mr. Comlskey. "Look at tho fences you have been bust ing. In fact, you nre busting too many fences. Jou don't glvc-tbo other players a chance to ask me for more money." "Not a cent more than 200 bucks." "What Is your front name, MT. Bodle?" "Frank," replied the buster of fences. "Here, Frank, Is $400, and please don't call mo Mr. Comls key. Call me Commy." MOST IMPROBABLE STORY. Cleveland Player Indulged In Yarn Telling Contest In Boot on. One warm July night In Boston tlie Naps were all silting oat in front of their hotel when some one suggested that everybody chip In a quarter and that tho sum total, about ?5, bo given to tho man who coxiW tell offhand the biggest "fib," the most improbable story. "Once," began Bill Bradley, "I was sorved'by a waiter who refused to pick up my quarter tip." "Contest Is over," boM Stakeholder Lajoie. "Bradley wins the pot" "Give me second money," spoke up Addle .Joss. "I once saw an on the level professional foot rooo." On another night out m front of the old Ebbltt House fn Washington the talk 'ran to the tendency of ball play ers to understate their ages In the baseball records. "Come on," saltl Lorry; "let's have n confessional right hcc. Let's tell each other our real ages." Everybody agreed. "Begin, Bed," remarked Lajolo to Donahue, the famous old brick topped pitcher. "All right," said Donahue. "I was born in 187." "Session adjourned!" shouted Lajoie. "This is a confession meeting, not a gathering of tho Liars' club." GOTCH'S HANDS MAKE HIM. Secret of Champion Wrestler's Prow ess Lies In His Two Big Paws. "Do you know wbat makes Frank Gotch tho greatest wrestler In the world?" Inquired Dr. Holler the other morning. "Well," ho continued, "It isn't speed nor his wonderful strength. Now, I will give you ooo goose." The man addressed took one guess. "1'es, you'ro right," said tho doctor. "It's tho hands the vteellko grip that sends us fellows chasing second mon ey. AVhen It comes to work with his hands Gotch Is In a class by himself. A great many poopks think Gotch Is much stronger than yours truly, but such Is not tho case. In actual strength there Is very llttio chok be tween us. It's tho hands. I haven't got that powerful grip. No man has It like Gotch. "Shoving a plow when bo woe a boy and continual training In that depart ment have developed Gotch's hands until they are like iron. Farmer Burns Is the only other wrosOer that I know of that comes any way near compar ing with tho champion in the gripping department. This band story, how ever, Is not offered na nn excuse. Even with tho same development as Gotch he would probably bent me." Wootton Is Leading English Jockey. Jockey F. Wootton is again leading tho English riders, Danny Maker, the American, being second. Wootton Is much lighter than the Hartford boy. BASEBALL NOTES One of the peculiar things of base ball occurred recently in a game at Corpus ChrlstL Tex, when Uiroo La redo players got hits In succession, yet nono of them reached third banc. Joe Agler, tho first baseman bought from Newurk by the Cuba, Is not twenty years old. Ho has absorbed all tho big league advice tixat Joo McGtn nlty could givo and la going to im prove becauso bo Is witting to learn. "Can you tell mcM said tea inquisi tive fan to Hans Wagner, "why it Is that you can hit the ball ono day and you cannot hit It tbe next?" Tich Hans answered, "Oan yon tefl mo wby It is that It doesn't ram upside down?" They have a catcher at Davenport who Is said to bo eo slow on tho bases that the pitchers actually poea him to get him on, knowing that au base, run' nlng will thereby bo blocked nnloss somebodv hits tho ball over the fence, CLUB MANAGER s I LOST STAR Often Turn Down Players Who Later Make Good. MILLER NOWHELD FOR $10,000 Chance, Clarke and Griffith Could Not See Player Whom Montreal Wants Fancy Price For Comlskey Tolls Story on Joe Cantillon. Some of these men who buy and sell ball players certainly do have somo bad half hours. What would you think if you had purchased a ball player for $300, had sold him for 1,500 and then wanted him back and was asked $7,000 and several players? Wouldn't you feel like swearing? A couple of years qgo a fellow named Ward Miller became the prop erty of the Chicago National league team, was drafted from a small minor league and cost $300. Manager Frank Chance looked him over and figured be wasn't quite right Asked for a waiv er, tho Pittsburg club refused to allow him to go. That was in the days wheq you had to scH a man for whom you asked waivers oo pulling back. Wen, Miller went to the Pirates. Manager Clarke looked him over. Aft er awhile he decided Miller tsouldn!t do, and tho latter went to Cttncmnntl on a trade that mode Blaine Durbin, tho former Cub pitcher, a Pirate. Griffith Passes Judgment. Clark Griffith looked over Miller and backed tho judgment "of Chance and Clarke. He' figured Miller ypouM not do in the majors, and he went to the Eastern league. Well, this year he strncli Ms-etrlde. He Is hitting over .300 for the Mon treal club and running bases like a wild man. George Huff, the Cub-ecout, Pbotoo by American Press Association. 0rOOMt AND KEMjT, riTTSnCBQa KEW COSTLY BATTEBY. went to look him over. Hnff wired r resident Murphy that MlUcr could bo socunod for $7,000 and two play era. "Sticfc around until tomorrow may be they will come down," wns Mur phy's answer by wire to his scoot. Tho next day tho Cub president re ceived an answer. It read llfco this: "Prico has go no up now they want $10,000" and tho telegram wns Bigned Huff. "Catch the first train or they'll boost tho prion to $20,000," were tlie instruc tions of President Murphy. Don't you suppose the Oub magnate feels H&o bottling himself when he thinks of tho time when be hod this fellow at a cost of $300? Ono on Cantillon. And tbcao same baseball men will give you a warm time if yon attempt to convince them that OTtooto, the St Paul pitcher, cost Barney Drcyfuss $2200 In real money. HeroB one that President Comlskoy of tho Sos tells on Joo Cantillon. Joo, It win be remembered, wns formerly tho man ager o tho Washington team In the American league and then went to Minneapolis to boss that team. "Joo had heard that somebody bad offered Lennon $12,000 for OToole," said Prceidtmt Comlskey. o tho next time that Joo saw Lennon ho opened on him: " T understand that you novo boon offered $12,000 for O'Toolo,' said Joe. " 'Yes,' was Lcnnon's reply. " 'Well, I guess I'm tho biggest fool of all, Bald Joe. 'In tho first place, 1 dldnt know there was anybody In baseball bo crnsiy as to offer that mncli money for any ball player. And, la tho next place, said Joe, 1 would have sworn there was nobody in base ball crasy enough to have turned down ooch an offer once ho had ft. " Which shows you that tho' fnrtf were not tho only ones to gasp at tho price Even practical baseball men bod a dif ficult, time believing that nny magnate would separato himself from that amount of money for a ball player. It fact, there are a lot of them who stlL' do nnt hallavA it. 1114 'V' .-rt'J ';? r'd W- !k-t0H-Y - M i! K-'i i ffl& fit i!-f7j4 4 sssjs SA I MACK SAYS THOMAS IS BEST CATCHER. "Best catcher In the business." This Is high praise, even If It Is sententious, acd the man who made tho remark U none other than Corne lius McGllll cuddy. Tho person to whom this tribute Is car ried Is Ira Thomas. "Ira this year has It all over any of them In either league, I think. Ho has never been tiiomas. given proper credit anyway," continues Con nie, "because he is such a big fellow. People like to bo with the little men and often slip by tho big fellows and never hand them out what's due them. That's tho way with Ira. I wouldn't swap him now for nny catcher In tho business, and there are a number of first class backstops in both leagues. His work in tho world's series was tho best ever witnessed in those contests, and this year he is even better." CRANDALL HANDY MAN. New York Pitcher Can Play Any Po sition on Team. Otis Crandall, somo time pitcher, some time shortstop, some time out fielder and always a consistent hitter, Is one of tho most useful baseball players ever developed In tho major leagues. Tho New York Giants are fortunate in having a man who can fill any position oa the diamond with credit to himself and his team. It is said that CrandaH'a chief am bition Is to become a catcher, and be 5H i tit h Pboto by American Press Association. OTIS CKANDALL, GIANTS' YOUNQ PITOnEB. It said ho can handlo the elusive shoots of Matty and tho cannon ball delivery of Marquard like a second Johnny Kllng. Crandall is too good a pitcher, however, to bo shunted oft to other positions where there is dan ger of Injury to his pitching hand or arm. In this light McGraw would do well to strengthen his team with an other efficient utility player. Ono Is needed and needed badly. WON TOO MANY GAMES. Oontract Called For Compensation In Number of Games Won. A pitcher who lost his last Job be causo he won too many games has just been signed by Joo Cantillon of tho Minneapolis club and has joined Ute Millers. His name is Howard Mc- Cllntock, and ho recently worked for tho Bockford club of tho Wisconsin Illinois league. Ho is a husky young man and throws with his right arm, relying mostly on a spltball which ho thinks will soon land him in big league company. McCllntock wasn't satisfied with tho salary offered him by tho management of tlio Bockford club and proposed a contract which was accepted by tho management His contract road that he was to bo paid for games ho won and nothing for games he lost; also ho was to bo allowed to pitch when ever ho felt so disposed. Tito day after he made this con tract he felt like pitching, and the manager sent him In. Ho won his game so easily that tho next day he thought ho would work again, and once more he won. When ho won two moro games In three moro days tlw management sent out a hurry call for him to go to the office, where a new contract was made out for him. no refused to sign and quit tho team when not allowed to be paid for winning games. Joo Cantillon, who used to manage the Senators, believes that McCllntock will greatly help his team. 1 1 1 1 PROP03ED AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION SUB MITTED TO THE CITIZENS OF THIS COMMONWEALTH FOR THEIR APPROVAL OR REJEC TION, BY THE GENERAL ASSEM BLY OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, ,AND PUB LISHED BY ORDER OF THE SEC RETARY OF THE COMMON WEALTH, IN PURSUANCE OF AR TICLE XVIII OF THE CONSTI TUTION.
