SUSPENDED
AFTER GAME
N ashville, tenn., Aug. 8.—
It is understood nere that
Manager Billy Smith of the
Crackers and Gilbert Price, his star
left-hand hurler, had a warm argu
ment after yesterday’s game, regard
ing the curve bali which Price
Ritched to Callahan in the tenth in
ning. Dave pasted the pill for a
couple of bases and the winning
run. Price had been sent In by
Smith to take Dent’s place in front
of Callahan, who is a left-hand hit
ter, and Spratt, also batting from that
side.
It is not plain just what the con
tention was, but It seems the man
ager toid Price at the end of it that
he was under suspension. Price
went to the slab without much time
to warm up, and that was the rea
son generally ascribed to his lack of
effectiveness, but Smith seemed to
take another view of it.
Smith had a short conference wjth
Manager Schwartz concerning Jud
Daley, but the boss of the Vois was
not in the mood to shake up his
team, and the result of the first
game probably cemented that posi
tion.

CHANCE TURNS ACTOR WITH
MOVING PICTURE CONCERN
NEW YORK, Aug. 8 —Frank Chance,
manager of the Highlanders, is now an
actor. He has been engaged by a mov
ing picture company to take the leading
part In a scenario entitled “The Peer

W ASHINGTON, Aug. 8.—During
the early spring days of 1912
a young ball tosser applied
for admittance to the ball park in
Washington, where Clark Griffith,
Walter Johnson, Herman Schaefer
and other Nationals were romping
about. He was too bashful to speak
to anybody, just watched the athletes
perform.
The next morning the same kid was
on hand. He had read about the
great Johnson, W'alsh, Coombs,'Ben
der, Wood and other pitchers. He
was a pitcher, too. Rather, on the
lots in Washington he curved ’em for
the semi-pro teams, and as he usual
ly won, he thought he’d like to be
come acquainted with the big
leaguers.
The kid chatted with members of
the Nationals, asked who was man
ager, and if he could talk to him.
“Griffith is manager; he’s standing
over there,’’ informed one athlete to
the youngster. The kid walked over
to Griffith.
“I'm a pitcher. I’d like to toss a
few to your hitters,” was his opening
sentence to Griffith.
“W'here do you hail from?” flashed
back the Fox.
“Right here! Pitch on Saturdays
and haven’t lost a game for a year,”
returned the youngster.
“Go to the dressing room, put on a
suit and let me take a look at you,”
answered Griffith.

THE youth appeared, went to the
1 hill and pitched during the bat-
tlhg practice.
The players gave OrlfT the merry
ha-ha. They wanted to know where
the boss plucked th ft novice. W r hen
the ball came near the plate usually
the sluggers lifted It over the heads
of the outfielders.
All the time,though. Griff was
w’atchtng his new entrant. He saw
that he had a lot of speed and a fast
breaking curve. But the kid was awk
ward and didn’t have the proper de
livery.
As the youngster improved with
each day and began to show dazzing
speed, he was introduced to his idol,
Walter Johnson. Always chummy
with aspiring kids, Johnson took an
Interest in the new acquisition. He
showed him how to throw the fast
one. the movement with the shoulder,
how to curve the one down around
the knees and the fast break high on
the inside.
After a few lessons Griff and the
players were surprised. In a few
weeks the batters began popping the
fast ones and hitting easy grounders
on the curves.

W HEN It came time to make the
first trip Griffith asked his
strange tosser how he’d like to make
a trip with the team.
“Do you think I can pitch?” was
his answer.
“I don’t know; I’ll try you out,”
returned the boss.
The Nationals made several trips,
and when a game was practically lost
the kid got a chance to show himself.

Sometimes he got away all right,
sometimes he didn’t.
The 1912 season was over. The kid
had a bunch of experience. This past
spring he was a regular member of
the team, was along on the practice
tour and watched every movement
made by his favorite, Johnson.
Finally the kid got a chance to
show himself at the start. He won,
allowing only a few hits and a run
or two. Then it was that Griffith
realized he had a wonderful pitcher.
Recently Joe Engel beat the St.
Louis Browns 2 to 1 with three scat
tered hits, and. according to press
accounts of the game, showed almost
as much stuff as Walter Johnson. Joe
Engel was tho timid kid who intro
duced himself to Griffith in the spring
of 1912.
