SHAFER RETIRED. President Hempstead Hopes He Will Change His Mind—McGraw on His Way to Texas. For the last éwo or three weeks the friends and local fans have been won- dering what Danny Murphy is going to do this coming season. There have been all kinds of stories around con- cerning his position. But the real story is at last revealed. Danny left Sunday night, it was supposed, to see Connie Mack, but instead he landed in Brooklyn, N. Y. He returned Monday evening about 9 o'clock and immedi- ately after arriving in this city he telephoned to the Sporting Editor of The Bulletin that he had signed with New York, March _9—President | Hempstead of the New York National | league club said today that he had not | heard officially from Third Baseman | Shafer that the inflelder intended to retire. hafer signed a two year contract { with the Giants last year,” said Mr. Hempstead, “so he can have no salary grievance. In the event Shafer can- not be made to change his mind, the club has a good third base prospect in Milton Stock, a young _infielder of whom McGraw thinks highly.” Hempstead received a telegram | from McGraw today saying he had started for Marlin, instead of going to | Chicago to attend the dinner to be giv- }en the returning world's tourists in | that city tomorrow night. When Mc- { Graw, left here he told Hempstead he would go to Chicago with Doyle, Mer- kle, Wiltse, Thorpe and Hearne.

NOLAN, How the Farmer Lost a Whole Load of Coin, After spending a few days _with Schardien, I went to Roseville, N. J., to visit an old friend, named John Peck, hoping, at the same time, to ar- range a race with a local runner named Neil Apgar. In this I was dis- appointed, but in the evening we went over to the village hotel, where Pecik, who was a fine pool player, was soon engaged in his favorite pastime. Quite a number of people watched the game, among whom was a tall, raw-boned young farmer named Gard- ner, and when Peck jestingly remark- ed: “Nolan, I'll play you a game for $25” and I repiied “T'd rather run you 200 yards for that amount, Peck!” Gardner rather exoitedly exclaimed: “Why don't vou run someone who can ru A big fat man like Peck can’t run, but I can and here's $25 that says I can run vou blind!” “I was not speaking to you at all, * I said quietly. ‘Well, I'm speaking to you now, &o put_up or shut up and squeal!” “Well, it's rather hard to stand that, 80 if you want to run so badly, here's the mone! I replied, putiing the amount in the proprietor’s hands. “Now when and where will we run? “Tonight, on the race track,” he re- plied. “It's a fine moonight night, and I want to just show you that you can’'t run a little bit.” We agreed to run a_haif mile race, and all the people in the hotel accom- panied us to the track, which was about half a mile from the hotel, “Put your money on me, Peck, all you've got. like two cents before we get half way around,” said Gardner. After reaching the irack, we strip- ped and toed the mark. Peck had previously made a bluff bet with me of 20. “Get ready! Go!” and away we went, Gardner running like a fright- ened deer for 300 yards. 1 stayed at his shoulder and he made effort after effort to draw away, until at the quarter mile pole he was nearly ex- Y1l maie this fellow look ! hausted, and as I drew away he cut across lots for the grandstand, while | I ran_around the track. I arrived | Just ahead of him and heard him say | When he reached the stand: “I'm sorry | you lost your money, Peck, but my | wind gave out, darn it, and I've lost the price of a whole load of corn.” From Roseville I went to Philadel- phia where I competed in the Cale- donian games and then went up to Wilkesbarre where we remained for having an enjoyable time. It was my last visit to the coal regions as I believe it was also that of my | companions. We were on our last tour of the cinder path, and were about to finish the careers we had followed so long and loved so well. From Wilkesbarre we went to New York for the final games of the season. Among the athletes in the party who { had competed in the Wilkesbarre | | games was Jack Watson of Toronto, a | | noted Canadian jumper, who said to | me _at the games: 1 “Do you remember meeting me at | Queen’s park, Glasgow, last summer | I thought at that time you were an | American, and asked to see your run- | ning shoe, thinking it might be a Gra- | | ser shoe from New York, as I knew | | Jack made shoes for all the boys. 1| was over there jumping against Tom | Burroughs, the English champion jumper and we made good money. If | You had told me who you were I could | | have put you in with parties who | { would ‘have made a good thing for | | you.” 1 remembered the circumstances | but it was (hen too late to remedy | matters.
