LAST L
Fielder Jones Cites Incident
Between Eddie Plank and
Umpire Connolly.
MARSANS MARK FOR EVANS
Cuban Xow Playing With St. Iionls,
According to Browns' Manager,
Once Offended Official and
Xow Must Pay Penalty.
BY HARRY M. GRAYSON.
Fielder A. Jones, manager of the St.
Louis American League Club, is a
"bear" at telling: baseball yarns. The
pilot and Walter McCredie, of the
Beavers, met yesterday and talked
about how long a player remembers a
bad decision called on him.
"Eddie Plank never forgets anything,
Til say that for him," said Jones. "You
fellows will recall that in the second
same of the 1913 world's series be
tween the Athletics and the Giants,
Umpire Connolly called Strunk out at
home thus costing the Athletics the
run which would have won the game
for them.
"At the time neither team had scored
and as McGraw's men got to Eddie for
three runs in the tenth they captured
the only game they took in the series.
The consensus of opinion was that
Strunk was safe. At least I have
heard that moving pictures showed this
and most of the players except Larry
McLean, I believe, claimed that the
Philadelphia outfielder was safe at the
plate.
"In the heat of last season's cam
paign Plank was battling the Tigers at
Detroit and Connolly was umpiring. It
was in a late inning. The Tigers had
two on, needed one run to tie and two
to win. Bush walked on a fourth ball
that Plank kicked about. This filled
the bases.
"Up strode the mighty Tyrus Cobb.
Plank threw him two balls, Cobb fouled
one off and then Eddie slipped over the
second strike. Plank was pitching as
only-Eddie Plank can pitch. He hooked
one that he thought was over the out
side corner and Connolly howled: "Ball
three!" i
" 'You burglar,' shouted Plank as he
threw his trlove on the turf and dashed
toward Connolly. 'You robbed me out
of a ball game in a world's series and
you're still soaking it to me."
"'Oh! you're getting old,' broke In
Cobb. 'Can't see any more and always
crying for everything. 'Twas a foot
outside. Umpire just like a policeman,
he'll call 'em.'
"Plank turned to Cobb. "You've got
a lot o'license to butt in,' he exclaimed.
I "You've been in two or three world's
series and never have delivered. Why,
I never saw you hit a ball at a critical
moment in my life. 'Drather throw to
vou in a jamb than any rank busher.
"Plank was still paying his respects
to Cobb and Connolly and would un
doubtedly have been thrown out of the
a- mi. if I had not told the southpaw
that T was running the ball team and
Bent him back to Ditch.
"Cobh grounded out easily to short
stop on the next pitched ball. As he
Ktai-tBd out to his position in right field
passing Plank who was coming to the
bench, Eddie shouted: 'Lost de old
nerve again, eh? Up once more in a
pinch and blew. What a great mighty
Tv vnu sire!"
"Ynu fallows take It from me, his
last remark cut Cobb to the quick,'
concluded the St. Louis skipper.
At this Juncture Del Baker, the
Pherwood boy who goes to the Seals
from Detroit, nassed the gathering.
"Say, Mac," said Jones. "Look out for
that bird next season. He hit sp well
against us last year that Oscar Stanage
adorned the bench while the Tigers
bucked us."
According to Fielder Jones even the
best of umpires hold grudsres against
players. In a game at Washington last
season Marsans. . the Cuban outfielder
of the Browns, hit a eround ball which
the Washington second baseman had to
field back of the keystone sack. The
play at first base was close, but Um-
nire Billv Evans ruled Marsans out.
"No. no." shouted Marsans as he
irped across the sack and at the same
time saw Evans waving mm out.
"You're out and out of the game and
usDended for three days," howled
Evans.
At this juncture Jones asked the off!
rial: "Sav. Bill, don't you ever think
of the club and the city we represent
when renrlmandinsr players?"
"It's all right to put him out of the
frame, but nix on the suspending sturr.
That hurts me. the team and tot. Louis
Fielder says that Marsans later told
him that Evans had it "in for him." It
seems that a few years back Evan
umpired some games in Cuba. He ruled
something against the team with which
Marsans was nlayina- and the latter in
cited a riot that nearly resulted In
bodilv injury to the umpire. Evans
was getting even.
Baseball on the Inside.
BY BILLY EVANS,
American League Umpire.
T ARRY LAJOIE has played his last
1 J major league game. The pasein
of Lajoie from the majors will b
marked with regret by thousands of
fans. Baseball was an art with Lajoie.
In playing eolf they tell you form 1
everything. In baseball, Lajoie was th
last word as far as form was con
cerned. He did all things with infinite
grace. He seemed to senee where bat
ters" would hit the ball, and made th
most difficult chances look easy. At
touching a runner he was without
peer. Few men in the history of the
frame could take a high throA- from
the catcher In the gloved hand, and
with the same motion bring It dow
on the runner. At the bat Larry was
the personification of grrace. All pitch
ers looked alike to him, no, pitcher was
ever able to discover any weakness In
his attack.
e e
Two ctrlkes didn't worry Larry even
up to the end of his career. He was
almost content to spot the pitcher a
couple of strikes. I don't believe Larry
ever objected to the calling of the first
or second strike. The umpire rarely
had a chance to call the third, so the
big fellow was never a hard man for
the umpire to please at the plate. 1
have often heard Larry say, "I don't
care how you call the first two strikes,
but be sure the third one Ui good be
fore calling me out. I don't mind the
first two, but I do like to have my
swing at the third."
e e
I don't believe Lajoie feared any
pitcher, but I do know every pitcher
had a wholesome fear of Larry. 1
doubt if any batter was passed more
often than Lajoie. the pitcher prefer
ring to pit his skill against some other
hitter in the lineup. 1 once as Keel Lar
rv what pitcher he had found hardest
to hit safely and Larry smilingly re-
diamond
OFTEN
DN6
plied, "None of them are hard to hit.1
but all of them are hard to hit safely."
e e
"I don't believe I ever batted against
any pitcher who had more epeed than
Walter Johnson," said Larry. "Some of
tne old-timers might have had as
much smoke, but I am certain none had
more. As to the pitchers with freak
deliveries. Jack Chesbro and Ed Walsh
were in a class by themselves. I have
batted against spit-ball pitchers who
had a better break than either, but in
no way did they compare with them.
Walsh always gave me a lot of trouble,
and in all probability he pitched less
spit balls to me than to most other
batters. Naturally I was always look
ing for Walsh to slip up his most de
ceptive spitter, and in a great many
such cases he would come right back
with a fast one, and have me off my
6trlde. Walsh is the only pitcher I
can recall who ever struck me out
three times in one game, and seven of
those strikes were called. Each called
Strike was a fast ball, I believe, with
me looking for the spit ball. ..
However, for a crafty. Intelligent
pitcher. I never faced a wiser twirler
than Chief Bender. The Indian was
surely a master pitcher. He made
study of the art. If a batter had a
weakness, the chief eoon discovered it,
and from that time he made life miser
able for that particular batsman. His
almost uncanny control made It pos
sible for him to put into execution the
knowledge he would gain of the bat
ters weakness. I know of a certain
big league player, and he wai a good
one, who used to request Hart he be
taken out of the game any time Ben-
aer worked. Aside from hi3 great
knowledge of pitching. Bender backed
It up with plenty of skill. He had
world of peed, a fine curve, and an
excellent change of pace. In addition.
a club had five infielders In the game
with Bender pitching. It would be
hard to find a pitcher who had anv
thing on the chief when he was in his
rime. Best of 'all. he .had a heart of
oak and in a pinch always seemed to
do his best work.

will find that you think of this car as very carefully and
very conscientiously made.
This very general and instinctive feeling is of course a
reflection of the actual facts.
People think of the car in this light because of their high
opinion of Dodge Brothers as manufacturers.
That good opinion is justified by the performance of the
car, by its economy and efficiency, and by the fact that
even the first two years' very, large production did not
develop a single fault. ...
