WILL MISS GABBY CRAVATH

Hard-Hitting Outfielder, Favorite With Philly Fans, to Pilot Vernon Club on Coast. Gabby Cravath. who is going to nllot the Vernon club of the Pacific Coast league next, summer, will be missed by the Phillies in more than one way. Gabby w-as always a prime favorite with his teammates, and he liked a good yarn as well as anyone. Cravath tells me one himself that is rich. “You know’ I winter in California,” spiels Cravath. “Well, I lead the simple life in the winter ant} I have always been a mystery to the nice old lady who boards me. One day a strang-

er came to the door and asked about me. “‘I don’t know much Mr. Cravftth,’ she said. ‘He goes away tIU fall. .1 never heard of him workv lng, but he is well dressed, and I 'do' hope he is in some honest business!’”
