EEC ePKRTE =H Vie (oor Yarns of the Ballplayers By ED A. GOEWEY Vincent Campbell, Newark Federals THERE are few better story-tellers in the big show than Vin Campbell, star out- fielder of the Newark Federal League team. He tells this one, which he says describes the funniest incident he ever witnessed on a diamond: ‘‘This baseball scream hap- pened at Vicksburg, Miss., the spring I broke in. I was only a tryout backstop then, and stood too much in awe of the vet- erans to give free rein to my mirth; but since then I have laughed heartily over it many times. There was another young catcher, my rival, also trying to make the Cubs, and he was about the nerviest rookie lever encountered. One day we had been practicing, and I had been catching all the wild pitchers they had. In addition, ‘Chick’ Fraser, who had been making a monkey of me by looking high and throwing low, and then throwing high and looking at my feet, had me worried, and I called for the other fellow to come and take his turn at the re- ceiving end. “He had a large diamond ring on his finger, and as he had no safe place to put it, objected to putting on the big glove and going to work. Chance saw what was com- ing off and sarcastically asked the rookie if he needed a maid or was afraid to catch. My rival made no reply, but dug a hole in the dirt by the bench and buried his ring. Then, to the astonishment of every one, he took a pipe from his coat, filled and lighted it. Chance yelled again, and the fellow walked to the plate, adjusted his mask, stuck the pipe through the wires and went behind the bat. It was a sight, you can believe me, to see that ‘freshie’ calmly smoking and giving signals to Reulbach. And he made good his bluff at perfect cool- ness by puffing away as long as he caught. “With this same squad was a player who always let out a roar when a certain um- pire’s name was mentioned. “What are you so sore at him for? Is he so uncommonly mean?’ asked a new- comer. _'*Mean?* was the reply. ‘Why, that highwayman owns a farm down my way, and he's so mean that when he wants to feed his hogs, he has to get some one else tocall them for him.’ "* ‘STRAsGaAS oF THe CONSTITUTION OF THE USL Ot ” The Pinckneys—athers of the Republic ERHAPS South Carolina's ee ee services of her two t sons — Charles Cotesworth Pinckney and Pinckney Itcan truthfully be said of the that their love of honor was than their love of power and deeper than their , love of self.
