THINKS WELL OF ERRATIC “RUBE”

'Larry Lajoie of the Cleveland dub lie one player who believee that Rnbe Waddell, the eccentric diamond actor, still the ability to travel In fast company. Nap says that the fact that |he Rube Is with Joe Cantillon this season will make him a big winner. According to Larry, there Is only one man, In this wide world who can handle Waddell right and that man is the present manager of the Minnesota American Association club. “Cantillon will let Waddell have a free rein,” says Lajoie. “He won’t isBue any orders, but will put it up to Rube entirely. I expect that the Rube will pull off a select series of his copyrighted stunts again this year, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he pitched fully 50 games for Cantillon. I know both of them well and, believe me, they make a good combination. Waddell is far from the hate-been stage. He still possesses the stuff and it only remains for some one to get it out of him. Joe is the one to do it.”
