SAN RAFAEL, Callf., Sept. 12.— The strange spectacle of three hard- ened. criminals volunteering to let themselves he hanged in order that the baseball team of their iron- barred “alma mater" might acquire an unbeatable baseball pitcher, is presented at San Quentin prison here, j = The baseball pitcher in whose stead they offer to suffer death is Clarence “Tuffy” Reid, 19 year old former newsboy of Los Angeles, gangsterand convicted murderer. Two of the convict trio who are willing to go -to*the gallows in his stead, ate members of the prison baseball team, to which Reid is a recent recruit, The other is just a rabid convict fan, who, literally speaking, would-rather give his life than)see the “home team’ beaten. Reid, under sentence of death and lens than two weeks ago: snatched back from the hangman’s noose by tan, eleventh hour,court reprive ai the gallows was being made ready for him, today is the pride of San Quentin, Were he not a felon with less than one chance in a thousand for his Mfe and none whatever for his Uberty, it is probable the big league scouts would be interested in his pitching ability. Twice within ten days now the condemned youth, with the shadow of “death constantly lurking before bis @ hi pitched the prison team to sengational victory. In the first game, an Labor day, against a strong nine from the Bank of Call- forfifa, San’ Francisco, he scored a 1 to'0 victory, striking out 12 bats- men and allowing but three hits. Bs ive on Tuesday, in a prison game lebrating ‘California's admission to the Union, he pitched’ his fellow convicts*to’a win over the fast Mer- cantile Trust team of San Francisco, allowing five hits and striking out nine men. The offer of his fellow convicts to substitute for Refld on the gallows, provited his life be spared for the prison baseball team, was made fol- lowing Tuesday's game. A delega- tion of convicts sent word to the warden that they desired to present a ‘very important matter.” When the Na a responded, the spokes- man peje cd convict committee told oat is the best. pitcher San Quentin ever had. We can't afford to have him hanged. ‘The prison wants a winning baseball team and is willing to pay to get it. So, if you could fix it up with the gover- nor to have somebody else take Reid's place, any one of three men is willing to: go tq the ‘gallows in his stead,” Following the offer, which the warden says was made in all sin- cerlty the three men who are willing to take the youthful pitcher's pla on the &catfold stepped forward an personally vouched for their willing- ness to be his proxy.
