Ty Cobb Was talking about the oddest characters he had ever known about in baseball and he happened to mention a pitcher I dug up for Abner Powell, owner and manager of the Atlanta team, .over 40 years ago. I still recall the unfortunate matter, and was sorry Ty brought it up. For this pitcher Was the only tar cipieat star I had ever known who was driven from b a s e b a l l by a scurvy trick oo the part of the opposition. He might have been another Johi*> sen. It happened this way: A country friend of mine had recommended a pitcher named Harry Hale from Happy Hollow, Tenn., population 312. "All this guy has," my pal wrote, "is a fast ball. But he's plenty fast." Well, that was about all Walter Johnson had for some 15 years. I persuaded Powell to bring Hap- XTJn St 1 point in| Jofaraon cost onl, . little the third guarter and 2 points in the > more. fourth period. - N them since hearing that they beat the strong Marengo five.

Happy Harry was • feet, 7 Inches and weighed 138 pounds. He was the original baggy whip. He really had a fast hall. Bat he had never heard of a curve or a change of pace, because ha had never been eat of Happy Hollow before. "I remember, that fellow," Ty said. "He had a lot of speed. I remember the day you. got Powell to try him out." I remember it too. For the first four innings the other lining up some such-and-such steals air--actually stole it! it.

And it so happened that Harry Hale had never seen, nor even heard of a bunt. Nobody ever bunted in Happy Hollow. They were all swingers. He let the first bunt go, much after the manner of watching a Tennessee moccasin or a Georgia rattlesnake crawling his way. He ignored the second bunt. He finally picked up the third bunt and threw it into the stands over first. "But the big pay-off," Ty said, "was the fourti) bunt. Now Happy Harry was desperate. As he tried to field the fourth bunt he spiked 3 j himself in the right hand, requir- 2 i ing five stitches later, plus a re- 2 turn ticket to Happy Hollow. You ~1 know, there might have been an other Walter Johnson if only some F i one in Happy Hollow had ever bunted. For he had that fast one-- and it was fast."

The young nation emerging from the struggle with England for independence suffered severe defeats in trying to control the Indians roaming over the then western territories. The resistance of the Indians reached its highest point in 1791 in the defeat of troops under Gecteral St. Clair, Ohio's governor and military commander. After this disaster President Washington chose General Wayne, a Revolutionary war hero, to lead a new expedition against the enemy tribes. With nearly 2,000 foot soldiers General Wayne pushed westward in October, 1793, built Fort Greenville ) roughly midway between the St. Mary's and Miami rivers near what is now the Ohio-Indiana state line, and passed the winter there. The next fall, Wayne came upon an enemy force of 2,000 warriors and a sort of "foreign legion" consisting of French, English, and renegade Americans. Accounts differ as to which side attacked first, but all agree that sharp fighting developed, and that the Indians were soundly beaten. The American troops won a quick victory, slew many chiefs, and drove the surviving warriors to the shelter of a British fort some miles distant from the battleground. Indian fields aud villages were destroyed by the pursuing victors; the fort was spared.

We ran into another tall lanky pitcher who wasn't as tall and thin as Harry Hale, but he was even faster. His name was Walter Johnson and he had just blown in from Weiser, Idaho, or Humboldt, Kans., or some place like that. 1 think it was from Weiser. Anyway, he had that fast one, and we couldn't foul him. "So I remembered your pal. Harry Hale and it occurred to several of us on the- Detroit team that maybe Weiser had never heard of the bunt. Hale gag£? us the idea. Bunt Strategy <* 'So we started bunting. And Walter started throwing those bunts around. I happened to be a part of that punting attack, so I know what happened. You may recall that with all his speed, Johnson only won five games that year for Washington, while he lost nine. He had another bad year in 1908 and also m 1909. "Of course, he had a bad ball club. But if it hadn't been for the Harry Hale you dug up from Happy Hollow several years before, Walter might have made a much better start. The old bunt is still useful, especially if you've seen or heard of one before." And se, if yon want a moral, it's how the anknown, anstmg kid of more than 4t years ago could affect the career of the great Johnson, still the top of them an. It was Hale -- and farewell -- for Happy Harry. It was hail -- and fame for Johnson. No, he never quite had the ama> ing artistry of Hal Chase or the pow er and durability of Lou Gehrig But he wbs still a staj first base man, better than a .400 hitter be fore sinus trouble struck him down He was fast enough to steal 50 01 more bases a season.

Major cause of death is swine erysipelas, old in world history but comparatively new in the U,. S. The first serious ..Outbreak of this imported malady occurred in South Dakota aboyt 15 years ago, Dr. Green said. The disease, during th^ intervening 15. years, has spread to almost every other state and has become the second only to hog cholera in killing swine. | Old Timers-- i Rogers, 2,304 -- Jones, 2,190.
