Kid Gleason Packs Big Wallop As Restaurant Incident Shows

By FHAXK G. ME.NKE About 15 years age, Harry Wolverton. Bill Gleason and Charlie Graham wandered into one of those little oyster bars which assist in making Philadelphia famous. They climbed a stool at the counter and promptly ordered an order which becomes men who are hungry and healthy. Wolverton was third baseman for the Phillies at the time: Gleason, tne very same "Kid" who is now man aging the White Sax. second based for the Quakerstown outfit and Graham was a sports writer. On that night Gleason wore what is commonly called "an iron hat." It was a derby, low crown, wide of rim and seemingly a size or so too large for the "Kid." It didn't require any great stretch of imagination to link him with a stage tomedian. But Gleason liked that hat and he wore it. Hardly had Gleason and fellows seated themselves when three husky University of Pennsylvania students, sitting at a table about eight feet from the "bar," noticed the hat and broke into jeering laughter. The boldest of the trio picked an, oyster cracker out of the bowl o nthe table, Games Yesterday ' NATIONAL LEAGUE At New York R- H. E.

"pugged" it at the hat and hit the target. Cracks Derby. The cracker caromed off the derby. One of the other collegians got into the pugging game and he, too, hit the mark. Then the third tried his hand at it and once more there was a "plop," as cracker hit derby, and resultant laughter from not only the collegians but the rest of the patrons as well. Then came a steady rain of oyster crackers; the bulk of which hit the mark. It was a' great game and great sport for the collegians. Their marksmanship was good. Only a few crackers failed to hit the hat. Those which did landed in back of the "Kid's" head, on the neck or on the back. And through it all, "Kid Gleason calmly proceeded about the business of eating an oyster stew. , The game continued because the collegians didn't know that the man they were tormenting was not only a great ball player, but one of the best boxers and certainly the most terrible little man hitter that ever had passed up the prizering for the ball diamond. Urges Action As the oyster cracker bombardment continued, uranam, nis pauence exhausted, blurted out: "Say, Kid. how much longer are Let's clean 'em out now. "Take a squint in that mirror," ordered the Kid. Graham and Wolverton found that the slanting position of an immense nooning giasS jUst back of the counter mirrored the trio at the table and p.fervthins' nn thp tahlp "See that bowl of crackers?" added' the Kid. "Well, there's only a few left. The guy that throws the last one is going to be the first one I'll beat up. But you fellows keep out of this affair when it gets going. This is my party." They watched carefully and saw the last cracker in the dish. Each of the collegians wanted to throw it. They scrambled for its possession. The biggest fellow grabbed it, aimed and hit the "iron hat." Wades Into 'Em Very calmly, the Kid climbed off the stool and without any show or haste, walked over to the table, grabbed the big fellow's eoat collar, lifted him out of his seat, swung a right hander, caught the collegian on the jaw and then the Kid released his hold. The husky youth crumpled to the floor. The two other fellows made a lunge at the Kid. He smashed one squarely on the nose and broke it. Even as the collegian reeled Gleason hit him again and he joined his pal on the floor. The third fellow decided about then that discretion was the better part of valor. He turned to leave precipitately. But Gleason caught him, whirled him around, hit him some skin breaking punches to the face as an opener and then dropped him on the floor. Re-adjusting his hat, smoothing out the wrinkles in his coat sleeves. Gleason nonchalantly walked over to the cashier's desk, asked for the bill, and when he found that Graham had paid it said: "Oh, all right. Good night." And out into the starlit night walked Gleason and his two pals. (Copyright J21 By Kins Features Syndicate. Inc..)

HIGH DARK HQRSES ON CINDER RUNWAY !N ACTION SATURDAY Thinly clads of the high school will get into action for the first time this season when they stage a dual match with the tracksters from Newcastle on Reid field Saturday afternoon. May 7. j As this Is the first performance of i the local track men little can be said as to their ability. The local high school has been without a track team for the past two seasons and the team is more or less of the dark horse type. Newcastle comes here as a highly touted team having practically the same team as last year, which finished second in the district meet held at Connersville. ) The Rose Cit y lads have a well balanced team and the outcome of the meet is hard to. predict. Opponents' Third Meet This will be Newcastle's third meet of the season. The Rose City lads are in high spirits after their meet with the fast Connersville team last Saturday, which they dropped by a few points. Connersville has a wonderful team this year and is the class of this district. The close score the New castle lads held them to has sent their ( spirits sky high. Coach Null has been working his men hard for the past two weeks and they are in perfect condition for the coming season. His work has consisted mostly of starts and he has not held time on any of the lads in the ! practices. Some of the boys, however, J are thought to be stepping off some ' fast time in the dashes and hurdles. Chips and Slips Bobbie Schang got four hits out of four trips to the plate Tuesday. Two of these were doubles. "Old Hoss Stephenson, Cleveland recruit will be eligible for the subject of a book by Horatio Algier.

With pitchers galore, Three Babe Ruths or four, Most any old club can land hy." The University of Alabama may play a prominent part in big league baseball this season. No less than five of its former stars of the diamond are, or will be, with American league clubs. They are Derrill Pratt, Francis Pratt, Joe Sewell. Lew Sewell and Riggs Stephenson. Del Pratt has been in the big show for several seasons. He was with the Yankees last year, but during the, winter was traded to the Boston Red Sox. The Chicago White Fox just recently signed his cousin, Francis Pratt, who was playing shortstop on the Alabama varsity. Joe Sejwell and Stephenson are all with the ClevplanH Indiana anrl T.tvi- Kvwll wilt join the Indians. Joe Sewell got his i chance to shine last summer when Ray chapman died. Stephenson got his chance this spring when Yv'ambs ganss was injured. They are pillars of strength in the champion's infield and both are hitting at a good clip. Lew Sewell is a catcher. They were talking about dwarf?. "None of 'em you've mentioned," said Smith, "can come up to one I N v 1 when corns hurt "Yes?" they chorused as he hesitated. "Every time his corns hurt him." repeated Smith, "he thought he had the headache." Tennis, even more than most sports, enjoyed the after-war revival of all things athletic. This did not apply particularly to Richmond, even though interest in the summer court game has been growing here each season. There seems to be no particular reason why this season should not be a good one locally, with the city planning on two courts at Glen Miller, two courts at the playgrounds, several private courts around town and the eight courts at Earlham should fur nish plenty of playing space to bring 1 forth some youngster to whom we may look, when he ripens from experience, as a future cup defender. IS BABE RUTH IN HAT BUSINESS? "Ever since Babe Ruth began his home-run records our hat business has picked up over normal each spring and summer," says the proprietor of a well-known hat store. "There may be hundreds of hats involved in each home run made by Babe." (7It is rumored along Broadway that new hat stores are opening like bottles i of home-made cognac in the vicinity of the Polo grounds. Every time Babe leans , against the pill and knocks it into someone's back yard in Cairo, Egypt, the inmates of the grandstand go dippy and break every hat in sight as-an offering to the idol of the ball lot. Whether or not Babe Ruth Is backing the hat business is hard to determine. But if not why not?

Fletcher's Retirement Marks Passing of Another Stai

Definite word of the retirement of Arthur Fletcher transmitted through President John A. Heydler of the Na tional league, has-been received with ; regret by those who know Fletcher, or who have followed his work in the National league through many seasons. In this, its period of reconstruction baseball can ill afford to lose such a man as Fletcher, who through all his career, has stood for the best that is in the game. He will be sorely missed, not only by his team mates and the Philadelphia fans. FLETCHER but by players and fans all over the circuit. His decision to quit the game in which he served so faithfully and so long has been forced not by a natural loss of interest or inability to play at the speed required in the big leagues, but by grief over the death of his brother and father and added responsibilities which have developed upon Lim as a result. Becsn in Texas. Fletcher began his career as a pro-; fessional with the Dallas club of the' Texas league in 1907. In the spring; of 1907 John McGraw saw him forj the lirst time, and late that season hej was on the Polo grounds.
