The $50000 Wonder.
(A bssebsll novel lifted from the near flora.)
CHAPTER ONF..
IKE FI.VNN. the keen-eyed scout or tne msons nat in m o
grsndstand wstchlng the Podunk team at play. He saw two aiugging
outfielders come up and get four hits each. Including tnree nome run. mr.ti
triples and a double. Tt It waa easy enough to see thsj the great scout was
distinctly depressed.
Til let you have those two fellows pretty cheap" said the Podunk
mannger. "They are both great hitters. If they don't bat .400 In the big
league you needn't pay a cent." .
"Great hitters" said Mike "we don't want nny more hitters. Ws already
have more than we can uae." Whereupon he moved on to another town.
CHAPTKlt TWO.
AT POPVILLE CITY Flynn was even more peeved and annoyed. While
here he only saw a young pitcher who had a trifle more speed than
Walter Johnson better control than Mathewsoh and a great curve.
"Fll guarantee this pitcher Is unhlttable" said the owner. "If hs
doesn't win forty games out of forty-five starts you get your money back.
And the price is only tnoo."
"I wouldn't give you fifty cents." Mike answered. "ne'" reat
pitcher all right but we've already got five or six about as good."
CHAPTER THREE.
IKE paused at Sqtiaahtown for a day and there he saw an inflelder who
could outrange Wagner. Maranvllle and Collins tossed into one neap.
This youngster accepted nineteen chances without a slip got four hits and
stole five basea
'Tou can take him for 400" said the owner. "I can't use tilm." the
scout said. "All he can do Is field hit throw and run. The market Is
glutted with thla kind."
CHAPTF.R FOUR
FINALLY after a five-week hike. Flynn found the man he was after. He
promptly hurried home to report the great discovery.
"What kind of a hatter la he?" asked his manager.
'He couldn't fall off a steamboat and hit the water" replied the scout
"Orsst fielder I guess" the manager said.
"Nothing like It" Mike admitted. "He couldn't catch fish If they
were contagious."
"Great arm then and a lot of speed?" the manager queried.
"Neither" replied the scout. "Ho never -played two hall games in his
life but he la a bear If I ever saw one. But they want $50000 for him
and he wants 20000 a ysgr."
CHAPTER FIVE.
OTHING doing" the manager snorted (try that on your snortery). "I
wouldn't srlve that for Ty Cobb."
"Ty Cobb?" said the acout. "Well I guess not. But Ty ain't In this
guy's class. Listen; he can't bat field run or throw but he can imitate an
oyster a duck Charlie Chaplin John Drew a tight rope walker Joe Stecher
and a rhinoceros. More than thai he cant'dlve into the air and come down
on either or both ears; he can wiggle his nose dislocate his chin and stick
a feather In his neck. He's got Charlie Chaplin Eddie Foy Joe Weber. Lew
Fields Joe Cawthorne and the Injer rubber man beaten all nineteen vaya
Hf can bark like a dog crow like a rooster and crawl like a turtle."
"Grah him quick" said the excited manager "and give him a 5000
bonus to make sure. We can't afford to let thus guy get away If we have
to trade our franchise and park for him."
At an Inspiration.
IF THE Gianta begin feeling depreaaed and desire to cheer up they should
recall the case of the Braves two years ago. They were not only far
to the rejtr lit May. but were also trailing badly in July. Yet they won a
world championship that fall.
There la nothing like tiavtng the memory of brave deeds wtth ono
when the situation begins to develop Indigo edges.
One Answer.
AN EXPERT was attempting to delve Into the piercing mystery sur-
rounding the facts that put ths Gianta In last place then he suddenly
lit upon these meagre details:
1. That they were a bad last In batting with a team average of only .SI S.
2. That there were a bad last In fielding. .
3. That the pitching waa badly spotted and out of gear.
At which point his research Into the terrific mystery suddenly ceased.

THAT wild clattering racket you hear as of a stampede under way fa
merely fifteen or twenty of the leading lightweights trying to get ths
flrat crack at Freddie Welah over the 20-round route. There seems to be an
Invisible hunch abroad that the first gent to get a belt at Freddie over thla
distance will be tho next champ.That't All.
Johnson haa nothing but speed In his wing?
Well all old Caruso can do Is sing.
WHY Is It " asks R. J. R-. "that the golfer always wants to talk about
his game?" Probably for reaaon that If the games most of us have
guyed In the system very long they would begin to fester.
