comprehensive survey of the cabin.
They three were prisoners, huddled to

■ would long since have had them open;

! oppressive. Katherine was looking
pale and worn. Appleyard bright but
distinctly worried. Coast himself was
suffering severely from the blow on
bis head and a broken scalp, which
Katherine had bandaged as best she
could with two handkerchiefs. Inso
; far. their condition was unpleasant
' and uncomfortable; external circum
stances rendered it distressing and
apparently dangerous.
“Blackstock jumped me." Appleyard

then this lunatic business has been
going on. I lighted the lamp and at
tacked the door with a screw-driver—
the only crowbar 1 could find—bent
that out of shape and yelled myself
hearse without any result. My private
opinion is that both of ’em were
pretty well shot up before they got
away, and are now in no shape to gc
pleasure-boating.”
“That sounds reasonable.” said
Coast, preoccupied. He reviewed the
situation briefly, then beat over and
with the twisted screw-driver pried up

been left unnailed, though tightly fit

solid and very heavy—of the shape

“fifty-eix."
“Right,” commented Appleyard;
“that may do the trick. Come over on
this side, if you please. Mrs. Black
stock.” he added, as Coast rose and
facing the door balanced himself as
carefully as the scant headroom of the
tiny cabin would permit; “if the door
should hold by accident, that thing's
liable to bounce back like a rubber
ball, only much more so. You might
as well keep out of the way.”

CHANCE CANNOT DEVELOP YOUNG PLAYERS
____
Frank Chance, Manager of Chicago Cube.
“I think that the late Frank Selee
was the best team manager and Frank
Chance tbe best first baseman I ever
played under.” said Johnny Kling.
manager of the Boston Wardmen. ac
cording to a New York newspaper.
"Selee really made the Cubs cham
pions. He developed Chance into a
first baseman, discovered Evers. Reul
bacb. Tinker and Schulte, and gave
nie the first opportunity to catch be
hind the bat. Selee was a natural
judge of playing talent. He wasn't a
bulldozer on the bench, but an even
tempered. fair-minded critic of tbe
mistakes made by his players. Had he
lived he would have received all the
credit for the greatness of the Cubs
instead of Chance.
“I don't believe Chance can pick up
and develop young players, but be
knows how to make the men placed
in his care play ball. He is a strict
disciplinarian and a great field gen
eral. As'a first baseman and batter
he was at the top of the heap and set
a winning example.
"Chance has always believed in
slapping on fines for boob plays. I
remember one day he fined King Coin
$200 for poor pitching. Cole was as
mad as a hatter, and turning to
Chance he cried:
“ ‘I'm going to quit the team and go
j into the navy!’
“ ‘If you do I'll give you $500 and
remit the fine!' replied Chance, earn
estly. and Cole decided to remain with
the Cubs.
‘‘Fielder Jones, in my opinion, was
another great baseball leader. He
knew how to drive his men. We had
a great team when the White Sox.
j called the hitless wonders, beat us in
a fall series, a feat that was entirely
due to Jones' pluck and pugnacity.
Too bad Jones quit baseball, for he
would have kept the White Sox al
ways near the top.
''You’ve got to hand it to John Me
Graw. too. He keeps the Giants bus
j tling and that wins games. JicGraw
has made baseball in New York and
is entitled to all the praise he re
, ceives."
JOE JACKSON'S STYLE AT BAT
Connie Mack Told Hard Hitting ••Nap”
Outfielder He Would Become a
Great Slugger.
Joe Jackson Isn’t a stylish batter.
He pulls away from the plate, which
is decidedly bad form according to the
set standards for hitting. Joe plants
his right foot within sis inches of the
plate when he faces the pitcher, but
as the ball comes up he takes a long
3tep toward first base.
Theoretically a batter who puIJs
away from the plate as Joe does can
not hit the ball hard, and it has often
been remarked that Joe was (iicky to
escape being taught a different style
of hitting.
It is generally believed that If Joe
had been changed he would have lost
his natural swing and ability.
One manager tried to teach Joe to
bat differently—Connie Mack.
"When I joined the Athletics in
190S, Manager Mack told me 1 would
Joe Jackson.
become a great batter if I went about
! it a different way,” said Joe. “He
: told me to quit pulling away from the
plate, and he hid my black hats with
which I had been knocking down
fences in the south. He had me use
Harry Davis' bats. I didn't hit near
ly as well, and made up my mind
then and there that 1 would continue
to bat as I had before.”
Joe’s long step away from the plate
has fooled a lot of pitchers, most not
ably George Mullin. The Detroit star
predicted before last season that Joe
wouldn’t hit .250. He hit .408.
“Jackson’s bat shy," said Mullin.
“All a pitcher needs to do against him
is to cut a fast one loose at his head
and then put three balls over the out
side corner. He’ll pull so far he'll be
lucky to make a long fou!.’
Mullin tried it. Joe batted .435
against Mullin.
Donlin Is Fastidious.
Mike Donlin changes his clothes
three times a day and tries to make
as many base hits each day. Hans
Wagner wears the same togs all day,
but he makes base hits just the same.
AROUND
ERASES
Walter Johnson pitched 25 innings
before he was scored on.
The Chicago White Sox have turn
ed Catcher Tom Carney over to Sioux
City.
St. Louis has sold Hickory Johnson,
secured by the waiver route from the
Giants, to Omaha.
Phillies are said to be after Laddy
i Linke. former Xap southpaw, now
! with Indianapolis.
Xick Allen, former White Sox catch
er who was with Des Moines, has re
ported to Minneapolis.
President Fogel has determined to
stick to 3:30 as the time for starting
games in Philadelphia.
The Brooklyn Club has released
Pitcher Deni to the Newark Club of
! the International League.
Zimmerman's work at first makes
Cub fans wonder why Manager Chance
didn’t think of him before.
The Milwaukee club has signed
Pitcher Bruce Noel and Outfielder Ca
pron of the Pittsburg team.
Infielder Barney Reilly has been re
leased by Brooklyn to the St. Jpseph
■ club of the Western League.
Pitcher Jack Pfleister is back in
yie Association in another uniform,
i Chicago having sold him to Milwau
kee.
Probably the reason Cincinnati Is
now playing good ball is that the play
ers have run out of hard luck ex
’ cuses.
Pitcher Gaiser. returned to the New
] York Americans by Rochester, has
been turned over to the Wilkesbarre
Club.
Ty Cobb and Crumb Kahler have |
declared a vendetta. Cobb says the
; Nap pitcher purposely hit him with a j
pitched ball.
The showing of Catcher Wingo with !
the Cardinals every time he gets a
chance makes one wonder why Bliss
is in the game.
In spite of auto accidents, railroad
wrecks and defeats. Hugh Jennings
seems to be as frisky as ever on the
coaching lines.
.Manager Davis is repeating. “I love
you. I love you not.” as he considers
j Jack Graney and Heinie Butcher, his
i pair of left fielders.
They do say in Cleveland that Lefty
! George is a warm weather pitcher and
j will net be started again until the
! weather begins to boil.
Columbus used fifteen men and Min
: cesota thirteen in one game. The
j score was just as bad. 11 to 10. with
Minneapolis on the long end.
Joe Yeager continues to hoi-’ down
; third base for the Royals in a man- j
ner that excites the envy of the young
sters' breaking into the game.
Cleveland has turned Catcher Bert
Whaling back to Seattle. The Naps
are left with four catchers, Easterly,
O’Neill. Livingston and Adams.
Roy Hartzel is pretty lucky to come
out of his collision with Bert Daniels
with nothing more than a headache
It was feared for awhile that he was
done for.
The American League is going up.
The offices of President Johnson have
been moved from the thirteenth to
the fifteenth floor of the Fisher build
ing in Chicago.
LEAVE FOR OLYMPIC JUNE 15
Date of Sailing of Athletes Is Tenta
tively Announced In New York—
Steamer Is Chartered.
The date for the sailing of the
American Olympic tei.m is tentatively
announced as June 15. The commit
tee has chartered the steamship Fin
land for the trip, and the boat will
be elaborately equipped for the ac
commodation of the athletes. A track
one-eighth of a mile in length will be
laid out for the runners and there
will be ample spaces assigned for
jumping pits and arenas for the shot
putters and weight men. The boat
has a fine gymnasium and a large
swimming tank.
The Finland will serve as a hotel
for the team from the time the boat
sails from New York till it docks
there on its reAkrn. The boat will
arrive in Stockholm about ten days
before tbe opening of the Olympic pro
gram on July 6 and will leave on its
return July 18. three days after the
officials close the festival.
The Finland is a larger craft than
either the Barbarossa. on which the
American athletes sailed to Athens
for the Olympic program of 1906, or
the St. Paul, which took them to Lon
don for the Olympic games of 1908.
Accommodations will be reserved for
300 passengers in addition to the ath
letes. as the treasurer hopes to pay
at least part of the expense of trans
porting tbe team by revenue gained
from other passengers.
CHIEF MYERS AS A SLUGGER
Mission Indian Is One of Most Won
derful Batsman in Game Today—
Valuable Player.
Manager McGraw did not get Chief
Myers* as cheap as Connie Mack pro
cured some of his stars, and though
the Little Napoleon had to fork over
a stiff sum for the slugging redskin.
Myers is now worth about ten times
Big Chief Myers.
the amount John J. paid for him. The
"Big Chief” is one of the most won
derful batsmen tbe game ever pro
duced. and if be continues to hit at
the remarkable pace he has set this
season, he is likely to shatter all bat
ting records in baseball. Day after
day the Mission Indian peals off two
or three hits, and generally draws a
pass or two on the side, as the pitch
ers as a rule transfer him to first
when runners are on the bases. Krom
being a green catcher with plenty to
learn, as Myers was in 1909 when he
joined the Giants, the chief has
worked his way to the front, and is
now cot only the most valuable play
er on the Giants, but promises to be
come the most valuable player in the
National league before the season is
over.
i
McGraw Didn’t Consent.
Philadelphia fans took off their hats
to John McGraw because he "consent
ed" to calling off games to give the
Phillies a chance to brace, but it ap
pears McGraw was not agreeable to
the postponements and “consented"
because the home club exercised its
authority and said the grounds were
in no condition to play on. McGraw
has begun agitation to restore to the
umpires the right to say when the
grounds are fit. In spite of all the
Philly complaining, the team they are
able to put in the fieid looks as good
on, paper as some other teams go
through a season with.
Lucky to Get Maroney.
Chance considers himself fortunate
in getting Maroney, the new left hand
er turned adrift by Detroit. Maroney
signed with the Tigers on condition
that he be given his unconditional re
lease if he wasn't retained. Jennings
found that Bill Burns would fill his
needs, so he allowed Maroney to go
and Chance Grabbed him up. Maroney
was signed on the strength of his
work against the Philadelphia Ath
letics while he was under trial with
the Phillies.
Clarke Needed an Actor.
“The only reason I traded Campbell
for Donlin," says Clarke, “is that we
needed an actor on our team. The Gi
ants and Cubs each have an actor, and
we are entitled to one ,to.” Clarke
handed this to Murphy when the Chi
cago owner began to discuss the whya
and wherefores of the Pittsburg-Bos
ton deal.
Association Players Suspended.
Five members of the Toledo Base
ball club of the American association
were indefinitely suspended, according
to a bulletin issued by President Chiv- |
ington. In each case the player re
fused to sign a contract The sus
pended players are Braden, Graham.
Booth, Bowers and Bradley.
