Bleckley Nineteen Years Star in Major League Baseball ’ Kansas City, Mo., July 17\—Nineteen years a star in the major leagues, and a score of years of. service in the minors, is remarkable baseball record of Jacob P. Beckley—“Old Eagle Eye” —who died in Kansas City, his home, after an illness of five months. Few of baseball's stars nogsessed a batting recotd that equaled Beck- ‘ley’s. He was a terror to pitchers throughout his career. For thirteen years “Old Eagle Bye” had an average of better than .300,.a record equaled only by a few. He was one of the first. left-handed batsmen, a quaint character, noted in baseball for his original Missouri humor, and a “card” both on and off the field. Beckley was no parlor player, but a believer in the old school game. He was quick to take advantage when the umpire wasn’t looking and never stopped batting from the first inning until the last. ““Ragle Eye” was regarded as a nat- ural ‘hitter. Bunting was a trick he became thoroughly proficient in and unlike other batters, Beckley turned his bat handle out. was a left-hand batter aided him in| always ~something — of beating Out many a hit of this kind. The fact that he ‘As a coacher, too, he was credited with originating some of the fighting phrases still used on the side lines. “Be alive” and “Heads up” were two of his familiar expressions. Beckley was born in Hannibal, Mo., in 1867, and played on various ama- teur teams before his ability won him his first professional baseball job with Leavenworth, Kan., in 1886. At the start of the season of 1887 Lin- coln, Neb., bought his services, and at the end of that season he went to ‘Stockton, Cal., in the Coast league. The St. Louis National league team obtained him in 1888, but in June of that year he was bought by the Pitts- burgh Pirates, whose uniform he wore until 1896, when he was sold to the New York Giants. By 1897 he was being sought by most of the lead- ing teams of the league and was trad- ed that year to Cincinnati. There, as one of the few baseball players who still wore a mustache, he added to his reputation and in 1903 again was sold to the St. Louis Nationals. Kansas Ciy purchased him in,1907 and, although Beckley had played his last game in major league company, he was the hero of many a game in the American Association. he led the league in hitting. The next ‘season he was made manager of the Kansas City club, but this was not his férte-and ‘near the close of the 1909 season, he was ‘replaced by Danny, Shay. The next iyear he be- came manager of the Hannibal Cen- tral Association club in his old home town, his last baseball job, where he first learned the game. not lose interest in baseball and was a personage wherever a game was he's ooo eee e000 eee THE EYE ’Tis a fine thing to be able to look a man in the eye when he gays to you: “It’s a bar, gain, and we stand back of it'with our guar- antee.” ' One often reads this promise in mail order literature. ’Tis seldom that one ever gets a glimpse of the boy or girl who wrote the particular: bit of copy. With the compiler of the mail order catalog, ’tis all in the day’s work. With the man ‘who says it to your face, it means something, for he knows that if he doesn’t make good you'll come back, and he knows: that if he does make good you're: pmost likely to come back, and ’tis the lat- ter contingency that he’s counting on. For the man ‘who does business with you, © fage to face, has to rely upon come back gr- ders and he. néeds your good will, beckuse : you're his advertiser and his mail order catae: log. If you go home and say: “By yimminy. : that coulter I got from Jones is all right; all right,” then your neighbor thinks of: Jones’. the next time he comes to town, figuring on. a bit of an electric washer for ‘the missus. But if you say: “Be dad, that Jones feller,’ now, ain’t he the skinner,”‘Jones knows he can never-expect to repair the damage that’s ‘done him, and bein’ as Jones is in business here for life, he isn’t likely to give you a chance to say bad things of~him if he can help it. 4 That’s the whole idea of trading at home. You see the article, you see the man who \ stands behind it; you know, most likely the next time you come to town you'll see him again, and ‘he knows it too. ’Tis an easy thing to make long distance conversation and to sit beside a mahogany top desk, drawing on a 25-cent perfecto and dictate pretty prom- ises. ’Tis another thing quite to sit right here under the gun and stare a man in the ‘eye and make promises and know by all that’s holy that you’ve got to make good those promises. : One hates like thunder to sell ‘a neighbor a blind horse, for he knows that sooner or later Mr. Naybur will get hep. ‘Tis quite another matter to. pass off a bad one on a BUSINESS TRAINING BISMARC TIS MIGHTY COMFORTABLE TO LOOK YOUR MAN IN WHEN HE SYS “IT’S A BARGAIN FOR YOU band of roving horse traders who probably give you worse than they get. The home business man is in the same position that you are when a neighbor comes to you and wants a- gentle, lady-broke driver for the ‘family. You are not liable to sell him a skit- tish bag of bones that’s going to kick the whole family into kingdom come, for, like as not, you have an idea that Mr. Naybur may want a horse again some time, and a fair 2profit on two good horses usually is bigger. and more satisfactory generally than aancantair profit on one bad one. When a man’s selling merchandise as a * ‘pusiness, the first thing he does or seeks to do is to build up good will and a reputa- “biter for honesty and fair-dealing. The man who.accomplishes these results stays in bus- fhéss. That is why the men whose busi- ness is advertised in these columns are here; ‘that's why: they were here last year, and year before last. With some of them your grandaddy traded when he came out here in ..@ prairie schooner ; with some of their grand- ‘children. you grandchildren will be trading ; time hence. Q ; ‘Aquare déal with the home merchant is a mere. matter. of ordinary business good sense; He knows: tHat, even were he so in- clined—and. we're proud to believe that we havep’t any of that brand in business in Bis- miarck—he couldn’t hook you today and ex- pect'to catch your neighbor tomorrow. And when he says “bring it back if it isn’t satis- factory,” he means that, for he can much better afford to take a loss on you than to have you dissatisfied. The biggest capital the average merchant has is his good will. Without good will, with- outia reputation for playing fair and doing ‘business on, the ‘square, without a belief on the part of his community that he’s honest adn sincere and a man who wants to see his neighbors do well, the goods on his shelf wouldn’t be worth to him 75 cents on the dol- lar gn the purchase price. Think it over, and see if it isn’t pretty sound gospel. * IRON and JU In 1908; But “Eagle Eye” in retirement did. “along 'dbo being played. | George stallings™started what is rec- ) BISMARCK pict lblbaled, attend.

In 15 games the Braves met only three. defeats and climbed from fifth place to third, passing both Pitts- Then the Braves ran afoul of the Giants and lost four straight. But in these 15 games the Braves showed an unlooked for strength. At the start of the season they had been consigned to the second division by most critics. The club didn’t look powerful enough to get much better than sixth position. Gowdy and Mar- anville, the only real stars of the team Had been lost and Rudoplh refused to report. Later Rudolph joined the club and the infield hole was filled by Herzog. The Braves this year resemble in more, ways than one the Braves of four years ago, although but two mem- bers of that famous organization still remain.
