P HOW M’GRAW GOT HIS STAR1 Chris von der Ahe, Tfion President of 8t. Louls Browns, Didn't Want Lilliputian Playen Pew New York fans know the im portant part that the late Chris von der Ahe played in the career of John J. McGraw. Chris, who then was “der Manager John MoGraw. poss president” of the St. Louis Browns, had a chance to:line up Mc- Graw as a member of his team about the time the Browns won their last pennant in the late '80s. His failure to do so has been counted as one of the biggest mistakes of the qld tim- home. | er's Tite. = Ty Bill Gleason, brother of Kid Glea- son, now assistant manager of the White Sox, recommended McGraw to Chris while “Little Mac,” as he then was called, wag playing shortstop for the Cedar Rapids, Ia., team. Chris had sent Gleason out to scout for the Browns. Bill rounded up McGraw and suggested that Van der Ahe give him a-trial. McGraw looked like a mid- get. “Vhere did you get dot Lilliputian?” inquired Von der Ahe of Gleason. “He’s all there as a ball player, even if he is no bigger than a min- ute,” replied Gleason. “Take him across the street and learn him how to ride horses,” or- dered Chris. “I don’t want any sawed off, hammered down player on my team.” Gleason led McGraw outside, intro- duced him to Billy Barnie, manager of the Baltimore Orioles. Barnie signed McGraw on Gleason’s retom- Merchants Who Want Your Business It matters not where you reside or what you want, the merchants below can get it for you at a price that will defy competition.

Edgar Willett, the Detroit pitcher, has advanced an idea as to a meth. L BEdgar caught the idea while watching Bam Crawford amble around the bases recently after smashing the bal, “Why not permit Crawford to run tc first and then return to the bench, instead of consuming a minute or so walking: about the sacks?” says Edgar. Tuns hit in the American League each season. That means an hour wast- ed.

Who does the most complaining in this world? Not the invalids. For hours on hours they lie there; secret- ly resolving “Let me make myself less & 80rrow to others today than I was yesterday.” And these are their victo- ries, grander far than those of war. When these moral conquests are’ ex- tended over months, perhaps years, the heroic sufferer's room often be- comes a chamber of comfort to all who are unhappy. What a triumph ‘when, to the chair of some grand mar- tyr come the friends of a wide circle that her gentle hand may wipe away their tears. These are the uncrowned queens of our race.

It was an arrangement mutually satisfactory and profitable, and -con- tinued until Richards retired from ac- tive business. Homer’s only trouble after this was to keep, up with the demand; for-he was a bachelor, his wants were few and simple, and he would not paint for gain, working only at the things ‘which interested him. He had a studio at Prouts Neck, in Maine, where he lived most of the year and was very friendly with the natives, but most suspicious of city folk who came to inspect his studio. These, it may be added, never got farther than the front porch. . If. they proclaimed themselves would-be purchasers, he curtly referred them to his dealers. Even his brother artists he declined to see, save with rare exceptions. No matter what he was doing, when a storm came up he would rush in for his oilskins and go out to make sketches of dramatic sky and turbu- lent waters. There he was in his ele- ment. No painter has given the wa- ter more of the sense of power and profoundity or has _studied the sea with -greater ‘understanding. His death in 1910 was a great loss to American art.
