P at the Polo Grounds there ts U an old gentleman who has seen the day when a two-inch notice of @ championship game gave him a thrill, This kindly old man is Ar- jthur Bell. He was secretary of the |New York club when Jim Mutrie Jeame along as manager. That was | thirty or forty years ago, prior to the | days when the club came to be known jas the Giants. Old Arthur is still employed by the Gants. During the spring and sum- mer he sits there at a little desk, cheeking over one thing ang another, always silent. Occasionally Mr. Bell looks up and smiles dryly when a Rroup of reporters pounce down on the present secretary in search of @ column of news. Old Mr. Bell has much to think over as he hears the thirty thousand fans — rumbling | through the turnstiles below him of a busy day. Rarely does he look at them. To him they are just a lot of people grown from th elittle group of thirty years ago that used to stop and | pass the time of day. “In those days,” says Mr. Bell, “there were not any baseball repor- ters. That is a new profession—not over thirty, years old. In the early days when Jim Mutrie got things go- ing he would come and tell me when he expected a hard foug@ game. It rarely occurred to us to get some- thing in the papers in advance. If we got something In after the game was over we thought that enough to ask of anybody. “after the game I used to put down the score and a few little occurrences of an extraordinarily exciting nature With these to reinforce me it was iny duty to go around to the newspaper offices and tell the editor about what print it. There were no telephones and mightly little rapid transporta- tion. “If T succeeded in persuading the editor to print two inches of news-— what they called w stick—abovt our exciting baseball match we considered that I had done a good day's work If they had printed a hait column, with a big headline, } belisve I would have had apoplexy.” Arthur Bell has deen with Giants steadily since that time.

Clarke, who has been secretary for the last four years, has helped to bulld the club up into one of the lead- ing specialty organizations in the ken- nel world and as she retires after this show, she has worked harder than ever before to make this the banner event of her career. 5 Mra.

Two of the most sought for trophies will be the handsome plaques sent over here by the Societe Canine jde Savole, the leading dog club of \France. The Ladies’ Kennel Club of {Canada has also contributed two med- jals and the Pekingese Club of America has presented two fine silver trophies. Mrs. De Ruyter N. Hollins, the presiient of the club; has offered a sterling silver trophy. Last year her little sable, Belton Wonderful, created a sensation by taking the trophy for the best in the show. Mrs. Vincent de Noo of Pelham, who won for best toy in the variety classes at Madison Square Garden with Pall Mall Sunbright Luxury and was victor at Newport in 1919 fer best of all breeds, is bringing out a string of toppers and has high hopes of winning the chief trophy.

Up until twelve years ago he travelled with the team in the spring ooca- sionally, 1 remember him telling me one day that the ®uying of railroad tickets and the checking of baggage made him too nervous; that he wasn’t going to travel any more. And he didn’t. Since then he has been at that lit- tle desk checking up figures of some kind and saving up discarded tinfoil to give to some old friends at the head of a charitable inetitution. I[ could never find out exactly what he checked up so busily. Whatever it is it i#- worth ten times the money. Withal, though, Arthur Bell ts loved by everybody in baseball and is very happy. A TRAGEDY—Bill Coughlin, fa- now reached the pipe and slipper age. He says that baseball is not always a laugh. ‘Twenty years ago a fresh young Inflelder came along in _base- ball and appeared against the Tigers in his first trip with a big league club. This young man was very fast and inordinately flip im addressing the old-timers. He was also a vicious slider. In coming into third base, where Coughlin was playing, one day this young man slid in feet foremost with sharpened spikes flying high. Bill refused to get out of the way and war cut in the leg. “rll get you for that, young fel- * maid the enraged Bill as the club doctor was patching him ur. “Just walt—and you'd better get of my way. I'll cut you to ribbons?’’ The young fellow was playing sec ond base und the chance came fur Coughlin to steal. Remembering his hurt he went down viciously and slung his spikes straight at the new- comer’s leg, striking him in the knee. The young fellow was out of the cume, soon disappearing from base ball altogether. Bil) suys he thought no more of the incident—forgot it for several years. But it was brought to bls attention most unexpectedly. One day word came to the Tiger | bench—this was eight years later-- that some one wanted to see Mr. Coughlin #t the little gate through which players enter, Though aq- noyed, Bill answered the call, At the rate Coughlin found await- ing him a typical bum, his face un- shaven and his clothes In rags. Bil noticed also that the man had two heavy walking sticks. “Don't remember me, do you, Mr. Coughlin?” asked the man. ‘Well,”* he went on, as Coughlin shook his head, “remember the time wheh « fresh youngster spiked you eight years ago and you threatened to get him?"* Bill nodded as an unhappy light be- gan to dawn on him, “Well, you got him all right,’’ said the man. “I've never been able to walk without a stick or a crutch since that day. I was wondering if you could fix me up with a little lunch and a place to sleep." “You know," says Coughlin, “if ('¢ heen able T would have given him the whole hotel, But I did the best 1 could. “Any pluyer who threatens to get even with another ought to measure his words mighty carefully.’ : John Gengler Wins on Alleys Over Spinella John Gengler defeated Phil Spinella of Brooklyn in a ten-game series at the White phant alleys, felling an average of 225, The ‘'Count's’’ high gume was 280 and Spinella’s 279.

In the second race, while the fleld was at the post, Bounce, which was quite fractious, reared and fell over the fence. In falling he threw out his right stifle, Robinson, the rider, came out of the scrimmage with both knees lacerated.
