AN Yarns of the Ballplayers y ED A. GOEWEY Ty Cobb, Detroit Americans Wwpy" COBB, premier batsman and base 'T runner, is almost as good a story- teller as he is a ballplayer, and that gives him some class as a spinner of yarns. Here is one of his funniest stories just as he tells it. “The most humorous incident which I ever saw or heard of happened on the ball feld of the Philadelphia American League Club. It was during a game between the Athletics and the Tigers some years ago, and at the time a contest between those clubs meant a battle for blood. We arrived at Philadelphia with the team crippled, be- cause Davy Jones was ill, and Jennings was compelled to send George Mullin, our great old pitcher, to the outfield. You know, George could play out there and hit along with any of them, and probably, had he chosen to be an outfielder instead of a pitcher, he would have been one of the best. “George and Tommy Connolly, the um- pire, never got along very well, because Mullin always was kidding him. That day Connolly was working behind the bat. On the old Athletic grounds was a large bell, i which hung from the stand in right field and was used to start the games. “It was a hard battle, and along in the seventh inning a foul tip hit Connolly on the ankle, and he fell to the ground. He was badly injured, for such a blow hurts a | man far more than he will admit. Every I one ran up except George, who dashed for the bell and began clanging it—one, two, three—counting Tommy out. The players and the crowd commenced to laugh, but Connolly, hearing the bell, forgot all about his injury, and jumping to his feet, chased clear over to first base and put Mullin out of the game. After that he did not speak | to George for a long time, but finally they made up, though Mullin does not refer to the incident when the umpire is around."” The High Cost of Living Oh, come, my love, and jit with me, And we'll a moving picture see.
