made pretty good fun—If you can ft**
hold of a certain Caatllian nobleman
named Louie Castro and inveigle him
into acting as fellow delver.
If tnere’a any really good yarn con-
nertsd with the national pastime in
this vicinity that the Count doean t
know it's a safe bet that yam was
invented quite recently. All the
fount’s anecdotes are stamped witn
the sterling mark, of course.
Here's one about Shoeless .Toe
Jackson In hla bush leasin' hays, b«-
ftire he began piling up a reputation
that has Just about eclipsed the fame
of his earlier rival. Bookless Jerry
I,ou was managing the Augusta
club in the Sally I.eague. and was
, hooked up In a deaperale struggle In
Savannah, the series looking as If It
would nettle the pennant question for
that season.
In those days Hank Griffin was
t'astrn s prise flipper, letu sent Hank
In after the firat game and won It.
Then Augusta lost the second game,
1 to 0, with an operator named Fierce
on the hill.
Whereupon I.OTI shot Hank right
bark at his foes In the odd one
Augusta got away with a faint lea',
nnd the battle was In a highly hectic
condition when Joe Jackson. Savan
nah’s slugger-in-ohlef. presented him
self Hi the platter In the third Inning,
with runners on first and second, and
looked wistfully at Mr Griffin
Two hands were out Hank looked
Josephus over a bit and then signaled
Castro for Instructions
The Instructions were simple and
ease of comprehension.
"Hit him on I he bean,” ordered Im I.
■•I’m afraid I might kill him.” Hank
objected.
"No chance I know what hla skull's
made of." the manager reassured him.
Hut Hank was tender In those davs.
Ho he shot off a fast one that took
.ioe squarely In the slats as hr threw
up his arm" Hnil ducked He was re-
vlved (Hank assisting at thy cer 1 ;-
mon> t and trundled down to flrst, fill
ing the bases
And—as Lou had figured -the next
man struck out
All went well and Augusta got a
oup'e more rune, and then Joe Jack-
,or came up In the fifth Inning, no
hod v out and nobody on.
Hank looked trustfully at Ills man
ager and Inquired what he was to ill
to Joe tills time.
“Oh vou've got him scared now.
said 1 o'u. "He''l -»•>—Just stick
1t over.”
\nd the trustful Hank did that very
1 Inn And Joey leaned agalnat It.
'nd the ptll finally rebounded from
the center field fence
Joe stopped at third and Hank
mopped his perspiring face with a
g lmy sleeve and regurded Castro ad
miringly.
"Sav. he remarked 'Its a blamed
good thing 1 had him scared. Isn't It?"
* * •
B UT there was an after-clap to that
pinking of Joey Jackson's slats
that kept rattling for nearly a year
In fset, It was Joey's ribs that we.'a
rattling, only nobody knew It—least
of all the hardy Joe.
When he got up to the Big Show
for Ills flrst try-out. .ioe’a side pained
him a good deal Finally he went to
a doctor. The doctor said It was a
floating kidney. That sounded pret-
ty awful to Joe. who hail been labor
ing for years under the Impression
that ail his Insides were fastened to
hint.
So he got himself treated for float
ing kidney
Nothing doing The alleged kidney
declined to come to port
Joe tried another doctor, who
counted his ribs first and then shot
him with an X-ray machine.
He found two broken ribs, healed Ir
regularly. without having been set.
So they had to be fractured nnd set
all over again. And before Joe got
the sling from around his slats be
was good anil sorry Hank Griffin
hadn't obeyed orders literally and hit
him on the bean, that warm and hec
tic day, down In good old Savannuh.
Joe is certain It wouldn't have dam
aged him as much.

B EFORE letting Joe get away. It
might be remarked that the
great Cleveland sticker, after lending
T. R. Cobb until Tuesday of last week,
slipped from his lofty perch. Sines
when the rivals have been changing
places almost daily, while their re
spective admirers take turn about at
er pounds along doggedlj. a few
the crowing, and good old Tils Speak-
notches behind.
