SPORTS OF ERRORS OF MANAGERS Often Turn Down Players Who Later Become Stars. Ward Miller, Secured by Cubs for $300, Now Held at $10,000 by Mon- treal Club—Hitting Above .300 Mark. Some of the men who buy and sell ball players certainly do have some bad half hours. What would you think | if you had purchased & ball player tor $300, had sold him for $1,600 and then wanted him back ana was asked $7,000 | and several players? Wouldn't you feel like swearing? A couple of years ago a fellow | named Ward Miller became the prop erty of the Chicago team—was drafted | from a small minor league and cosi $300. Manager Chance looked him over and figured he wasn’t quite right. He asked for a waiver, and the Pirates refused to allow him to go. That waa | in the days when you had to sell a man for whom you asked walvers— no pulling back. Miller went to the Pirates, Clarke looked him over. After & while he decided Miller wouldn't do, | and the latter went to Cincinnati on a trade that made Blaine Durbin, the former Cub pitcher, a Pirate. Clark Griffith looked over Miller and backed the judgment of Chance nnd‘ Clarke. He figured Miller would not ) Paul” pitcher, cost Barney Dreyfuss $22,600 in real money. Here’s one that President Comiskey of the Sox teHs on Joe Cantillon. Joe, it will be re- membered, was formerly the manager of the Washington team in the Amer- ican league and then went to Minne- apolis to boss that team. “Joe had heard that somebody had offered Lennon $12,000 for O'Toole,” sald President Comiskey: “So the next time that oJe saw Lennon he opened on him: ‘I understand that you have been offered $12,000 for O'Toole,” sald Joe. ‘Yes,’ was Lennon’s reply. ‘Well, | 1 guess I'm the biggest fool of all,’ said Joe. ‘In the first place I didn’t know there was anybody in baseball s0 crazy as to offer that much money for any ball player. And, In the next place, I would have sworn'there was nobody in baseball crazy enough to have turned down such an offer, once he had it ” ‘Which shows you that the fans were not the only ones to gasp at the price. Fven practical baseball men had a difficult time belleving that any mag- nate would separate himself from that amount of money for a ball player. Pitchers iKeep Ball Low. It is a noticeable fact that the most successful pitchers these days are those who seldom pitch a high ball, and yet there was a time when the high ball had the batters guessing. | Today, however, the pitcher with the high ones does not last long. The | batsmen have mastered this delivery and the pitchers have been forced to change their style of pitching entire- ly. There are decidedly few players | these days who hit the low balls and HIGH SCHOOL LOSES FIRST GAME Football Players, However, Make a Good Showing. Bemidji High School lost its first game of the season yesterday after- noon in a well-fought battle with the city team at the fair grounds. In the first quarter the city rushed down for a touch-down, before the high school players were well-aware that the game had begun; a fair goal was kicked and the score stood 6 to 0 in favor of the picked team. In the second quarter the high school boys began to play, and after a series of brilliant plays, “Rabbit” Bailey, the midget end, caught the Lall in a fumble, got away from the city huskies and made down the field for a touch-down. Owing to a defec- tive field, McDonald failed to kick goal. The quarter ended with the score six to five, the advantage be- ing with the city team. During the last half no scores were made. Fumbles, errors and foul play- ing were common. Professor Robin- fon, the high school coach, is well satisfied ‘with the showing made by his men.
