HANS WAGNER GRIEVES
FOR HIS DEPARTED DOG
CHICAGO, July 9.—Honus Wagner’s
dog is dead, and the great shortstop of
the Pittsburg ball team is heart-broken.
For the last nine years Wagner has
cared for but two things, baseball and
his dog, Jason Weatherbee.
Wagner received the neys in this city
that Jason was dead, poisoned by some
person who cared little for baseball or
dog. The great Hans wanted to leave
immediately for Pittsburg to bury his
dog and prepare the poisoner for the
undertaker, and it took all the authority
that Fred Clarke, the manager of the
Pittsburg team, could bring to bear to
Induce Wagner to wait until the club
returned to Pittsburg.
Wagner has one of the most peculiar
personalities in baseball. He has made
few friends, preferring to stay by him
self, but the dog has been his constant
companion, and Jason never was absent
from the Pittsburg bench when the Pi
rates were playing at home. Frequent
ly Wagner took Jason on the road with
him. One of the familiar sights around
Carnegie, Pa., where Wagner lives, was
the big shortstop riding in his automo
bile with his dog.
Jason’s final official appearance was
in the last games the Pirates played at
home with the St. Louis club on Deco
ration day. Wagner was put out of the
contest at that time for objecting to a
decision of the umpire. As Wagner was
leaving the field Jason dashed out from
the bench, much after the manner of
an irate, protesting manager, and tried
to attack the umpire. Hans always de
clared that the dog understood the ins
and outs of big league baseball.
VOL. FANS CELEBRATE
IN HONOR OF WISEMAN
NASHVILLE, TENN., July B.—“ Doc
Wiseman Day" was celebrated at the lo
cal ball park yesterday afternoon before
a large crowd of fans. Julius Wiseman,
for eleven consecutive years right fielder
for the Nashville team, was the hero of
the occasion. Wiseman arrived in Nash
ville yesterday morning from his home in
Cincinnati and was presented to the fans
in the middle of the game. It was an
nounced that a handsome present would
be given him tomorrow afternoon, at
which time he will play right field for
Nashville against New Orleans.
Wiseman has always been a favorite
with Nashville fans and those of the
Southern league. He retired ‘rom base
hall this year after setting a record that
will probably live for many vears in minor
league baseball.

SAVANNAH, GA., July 9.—Glenn Colby,

Greenville, S. C., to manage the club

YALE MAY REVERT TO
PROFESSIONAL COACHING
NEW HAVEN, CONN., July 9.—Cap
tain Charley Snowden of the Yale crew
has not yet announced his coaching
plans for next season, and indications
are now that he will take considerable
time before doing so. It Is believed by
some that he' may not accept the poli
cy of graduate coaching which was in
augurated last year, although there is
grave doubt that he will revert to the
system of professional coaching, which
was discarded last season.
One plan that is discussed is to make
Cook head coach, with Averill Harri
man assistant regular (poach, giving him
charge when Cook is absent. Harri
man coached the freshmen last sea
son, and his eight-oared class boat
finished only half a length behind one'
of the fastest freshman crews Harvard
ever sent to the Thames. His class
four defeated the Harvard 1915 quar
tet handily in a mile race, the only
event of the regatta captured by a tale
shell.
Cook said today in speaking of Har
riman :
"1 regard Mr. Harriman as the most
prominent and promising coming crew
coach in any American university.”

WALSH'S SUCCESS DUE
TO ADVICE OF FANATIC
CHICAGO, July it.—There was a time
when Ed Walsh was not a great pitcher,
in 1904 his speed was terrific, but his
control was so bad that be had literally
no idea where the ball was going. He
could seldom get catchers to help him
practice, and had to fall back on an en
thusiastic fan.
This fan, after handling bis erratic
shoots, gave Ed some advice. He doesn't
know if WaJsh lock it. but his work in
dicates (bat he did something.
“After the season of 1905," said the
"bug.” “I walked to the station with
Walsh. I asked him what he intended
to do in the winter. He said he was
going to do nothing.
“Then 1 told him he Was about the
worst pitcher I had ever seen and de
scribed to him how Christs Mathewson,
before he gained control, had rented a
barn, painted a target at one end. and
pitched into the target all winter until
he emerged in the spring with the best
control in the league.
"I don't know if Walsh took the hint,
but he certainly had the control when
be helped pitch the White Sox to the
pennant next year."
