In Seventeen Tears He Spent
tn the National
Game.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex. April i.-Gerge
Edward Wnddell, the famous "Rube," as
ho was known wherever base ball la
played, died at a sanitarium here today1
a -victim of tuberculosis. Wnddell, once
one of the greatest of base ball 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." He located on
a ranch near Boeme, but he grew
weaker until his condition became so se
rious Inst month that he waa brought to
a sanitarium here.
John Waddell, "Rube'a" father! and his
mother arrived hero from Boeme two
hours after their son died. A sister
who Uvea here Is the only other sur
viving relative. Interment will be here
tomorrow.
Seventeen Venra In Game.
George Edward Waddell, one of the
greatest ot pitchers, was noted nearly
as much for his eccentricities a for 'his
ability as a ball player. In the seven
teen' years he spent In professional base
ball,' he held positions with twelve teams
and, including "return engagements,"
had fourteen Jobs. His longest term of
service waa with the' Philadelphia. Amer
icans, where, Under the watchful eye ot
Connie Mack, he pitched winning ball
for half a dozen' seasons.
Waddell'a inability to keep tn condition
discouraged his other managers and was
Indirectly responsible for his contract
ing tuberculosis, which caused his death.
There" waa no better pitcher than Wad
dell when he was In form, but he, aa
well aa managers and club owners, was
aware of hla powerlessness to resist temp
tation. Ao a result ot his weoknes, the
largest salary he ever received waa $2,000
a year. That he got from, the Athletics,
fvlth the stipulation, It Is said that he
must keep In condition.
Fans Sixteen. Mackmen.
Waddell shared with Robert Glad the
strikeout record of the American league.
On July 29, 1903, while pitching for the
At. Louis Americans, to whom he had.
Just been released by Mack, he fanned
sixteen of tho Athletics, his former team
mates,
Wnddell was born In Butler, Pa., Octo
ber 13, 1876. When 20" years of age, or
In 1895. he pitched his- first professlonsl
ball with the Oil City. Ta., team and the
next year, after a brief career with the
Volant college (Pennsylvania) nine, he
entered "big league" base ball aa a mem
ber of the Louisville National league
team. The pace In such fast company
was a little to fast for him, however,
and after a few weeks" engagement with
Detroit, he returned to his native state
and Joined the Homestead team.
In 1S99, a scout for the Columbus team
recommended him and he was dratted
by that organlxatlon. Next year he was
attached to the Louisville club, but when
the Loulsvlllo playera were transferred
tj Pittsburgh, he went alOng. The Amer
ican league war, a signal for a general
period of playera "Jumped," gave Wad
dell the opportunity for another change
and he Joined tho Milwaukee club tn JXO.
Joins Cobs.
Waddell Joined the Chicago Nationals
tn 1901, and pitched a few great games
for the team under Jack Doyle. In 190
he Jumped the Chicago club to the Los
Angeles "outlaws," but again returned to
organized base ball Joining the Ath
letics. From 1903 to 190S he was a star ot
Mack'a troup. and then, showing Indt-

Waddell was sold to the St. Louts Ameri
cans. A flssh of his famous skill helped
the Browns in the great battle they made
for the American league pennant In I1,
but at tho end of the next jieaaon ho was
released to Newark. The Minneapolis
rlub bought Waddell In 1910, 'and he was
two years with that club. Illness oegan

he was added to the roster of the Minne

You will now have the opportunity to

It doesn't matter that your Ice man tells

to the effect that after April 1, 191.4, the

This means an Increase In price of Ice

heretofore the bill has been subject to

"Positively no further increase tn price
wilt be made by our company tills

Colvin this morning. "The raise from
40 to 45 cents net was made necessary by
this mild weather, which gave local Ice
cuttera only a 40 per cent crop.
"With a capacity output from our arti

lake ice and the purchase of a quantity
of tee from the north, we are sure of
being able to go through the summer,
and can guarantee absolutely that no- ad
