While mentioning the comedian
Steve Evans It Is timely to recite a
humorous Incident In which Evans
was the central figure In Toledo the
other day. Steve has been playing for
Roger Bresnahan and recently he was
given a whirl at second base. One of
the opposition who Is said to be the
slowest man In the league, hit almost
to the fence and
got a single. On
the first pitch to
the next batter,
the catcher
threw the ball
hurriedly to Steve
at second.
"What are you
throwing down
here for?" shout
ed Steve as he
caught the ball.
"Why, he's try

exclaimed the
surprised catcher.
"He might be trying to steal," an

lines trying everything to get the Pi

Unlike McGraw and some other pi

when his club Is winning and hide him

doesn't make any difference to him. If
his team is ten runs behind he Is out

many a manager to a madhouse, but
Callahan has been even tempered and

WAS ROOTING FOR BROTHER
Harry Coveleskie, Star Southpaw of
Tigers, Forgot Himself In Recent
Cleveland Game.
If there Is any one person who Is
pulling with might and main for Stan
ley Coveleskie to make good as an In
dian, It is Brother Harry, the star
southpaw of the Tigers.
Harry was sitting on the Detroit
bench when Brother Stan was mowing
down the Tigers In a recent conflict.
It was In the fourth Inning and Cobb
was on first with none out and Bobby
Veach at bat
"Atta boy, Stan, atta boy. Guess
that brother of mine hasn't got some
thing," he yelled as Veach fouled to
Turner.
"That's it, Stan. You've got his
number," he muttered as Sam Craw
ford hit a roller to Howard, forcing
Cobb at second.
"Say, Harry, if you are going to root
for Cleveland, go over on the Cleve
land bench," shouted Oscar Vltt.
Brother Harry was dazed for a min
ute. He had forgotten Brother Stan
was pitching against his own team.
"Say, fellows, I clean forgot," he
said sheepishly and then he yelled as
Hellmann went to bat: "Hit It )ita

a thing but a prayer."
"It sure was funny," said Trainer
Harry Tuthlll of Detroit in relating the
incident.
