LVINO Into the dim and rnuaty archives of the Pa* in South ern baseball c.n >- 1 1 ■> 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. • » e 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.
