Insisted That He Be Allowed to Pitch Against Grif fith's Wishes. Teammates Wanted Him in tho Box, but He Was Not in Proper Condition. A greater pitcher than "Happy Jack" Chesbro of the New York Highbinders never threw a ball, 'and In addition to his almost marvelous ability to mystify Ban Johnson's batsmen, collectively the hardest hitters pver gathered within1 the fold of a baseball organization, ho is ambitious. It was Chcsbro's ambition to pitch tho New York Americans to the champion ship in the seasons Just closed, and how near he came to having this ambition gratlflcd, baseball fans the country over know. Unofficial llgures place Chesbro in the lead of American league boxmen, with an average of .7S4 earned In fifty two games, of which forty were won, eleven lost and one lied. The Yankeea played 161 games during the season, not Including drawn battles, and "Happy Jack" thus oflielated in more than one-third of their contest v Bill;. No pitcher approached him In number of victories, "Cy" Young of Boston be ing his nearest competitor, with twenty seven games won out of forty-three. In the thrilling neck-and-neck strug gle in the closing weeks of the season with the world's champions, Chesbro frequently placed his team in the van by his magnificent work. He simply would not be dented, arid It looked when tho pennant race narrowed down to a few games as If he were destined to be the central figure in the most desperate battle for supremacy ever waged In a baseball campaign. Chesbro Bagged No. 1. It will be recalled that when the Yan kees returned home for the last series with Boston, which was begun Friday, October 7, that Chesbro pitched the first game, and by winning it once more placed New York in the lead for the bunting. Then, with four games to be played, Griffith's men only had to break even and the honors would be theirs. The baseball world has not yet been told how it came about in the double header In Boston Saturday, October S, that Chesbro faced Colllns's men in the first affray of taht memorable after noon, and the story which is here re lated is one of the most Interesting of a season that fairly bristled with the sensational. It also reflects the ambi tion of Chesbro to pull the Yankees through to victory at all hazards. Many persons were of the opinion that "Happy Jack's" appearance In the box on that day was a bit of strategy on Griffin's part, but such was not the case, since the New York manager consented, almost against his will, to the demand of the members of the team that Ches bro be allowed to pitch. The story Is authentic and has been told by Griffith himself. After the Friday game, when the Yan kees were congratulating one another on their success and the outlook for ul timate victory was roseate, Griffith told Chesbro It would not be necessary for him to go to Boston, as Powell and Puttman would do the pitching there. Wouldn't Stay at Homo. "You stay in New York, Jack," said Griffith, "and bo In trim to win for us on Monday. We'll be sure to take one game tomorrow, and then we only need one more. You can win that for us when we come back." Chesbro's feathers fell, and the big pitcher looked as If he was ready to cry. To leavo him behind after having beat en Boston at such a critical stage seemed like punishment for a merito rious performance. Finally he blurted out: "You don't mean that, Griff, do you?" "Of course I do," was the reply. "We can get along all right, and the journey might have a bad effect on you. I want you to be nt your best on Monday, so that you can win for us then." No more was said. Chesbro donned his street clothes and hastened out of' the clubhouse, leaving Griffith to give his instructions to the mep about the trip. , ' mmmm 1 m: BKm -! 4 1 0kd . At 11 o'clock that night the Yankee brigade, accompanied by a small band of "rooters," marched Into Grand Cen tral station to take the train for Boston, There stood Chesbro. gripsack In hand. "Hell. Jack," said Griffith, cheerily. What are you doing here? I thought you were in bed.'' "I'm going to Boston," replied Ches bro, determinedly. "You can't leave me ' behind. Besides, I'm as much Interest ed In those games as you are and you might need me." The Old Fox laughed. "You're a good one," he retorted, "but I'll tell you now that we won't want you. If you persist In going I'm satisfied and I'll buy your ticket, but I'd prefer to have you stay Home." Insisted on Performing. The ticket Was bought and the "Hap py One," happier than ever, climbed Into his berth and soon was fast asleep. After breakfast In the hotel at Boston Griffith went to his room to map out his .olans for the afternoon. He had scracely seated himself beforo the door opened and In walked Chesbro. Before Griff had time to say a word Chesbro almost shouted: "I've come to tell you, Griff, that I've decided to pitch the first game today!" "W-w-w-h-at!" gasjied the astonished manager. "You've decided to do what? Say, Jack, chase yourself. There's noth ing doing. 'Powell and Puttmann' is my programme. That's all there is to it." Chesbro moved toward the door and passed out with the remark: "I'll pitch and I'll win. I never felt better in my life." When the team arrived at the ball park "Happy Jack" found 150 friends from East Douglas, Mass., a place near his home, awaiting him in the grand stand. They had come to see him pitch against Boston, and they had brought a pair of diamond sleeve buttons which were to be presented before the open ing of hostilities. They gave rousing cheers for Chesbro, who promptly went out to warm up. "What's Chesbro doing out there'" said Frank Farrell, who was on the bench, to Griffith. "I don't know," the manager an- SJf? , t,h,nks he's eolng to pitch, but he's mistaken." A few minutes later Chesbro stopped practice and walked over to the bench where the members of the team were discussing the chances. Within car shot of everybody he said to Griffith- T.n1',11 ltfh V2e flrst snme- Griff, and 1 11 land it. You know I never asked you to let me go in and then lost for you. Come over and watch me warm up. I've got everything today and I feel like a winner." Keeler, Elbcrfeld. Williams and Con roy Immediately took sides with Ches- rm.nd a?,t0, a Ilttle more tfllk with Griffith walked over and got behind Klelnow. with whom Chesbro wa practicing. "Algy Got His Bumps." rSi,hfd.Tytl,,In'f n" Ti3ht-" sa,tI Griffith, in telling the storv. "His speed was wonderful, his control superb and the ball broke wherever he wanted It to break. I went back to the bench to talk with Farrell, and finally agreed to let Chesbro Ditch. I had in mind Just one thing if he could win one of the two games and it rained on Mondav the uennant was ours. And you can bet I wanted that pennant." What happened that afternoon is ball history. The Yankees, with "Hap py Jack"' pitching, had the game 1 to fourth inninjr. Quickly the Puritans got men on first and third with one out then with, the 'New York infield play ing in the ball was hit to William' It was a "chop" hit and the sphere bounded In the air. Williams used poor judgment. He tried to nail the man, speeding home from third, whero as he Avns warned to throw to first The runner beat the ball at the plate' the score was tied, there still were two on the bases and only one out. That situation seemed to unnerve Chesbro and five little hits followed Boston scored six runs and won the game then and there. Then the "Hap py One," the smile faded from his countenance, retired, and watched the struggling teams from the bench. No word of reproof came from Griffith but his star pitcher was broken-hearted ."I'll trim 'em Monday," Chesbro said to the manager before he team started fi'Qjn Boston that night, "I'll trim 'em Monday, if it costs an arm." He Knew He Was a Goner. The vast crowd that saw that decisive struggle In American league park on the season's closing day never will for get It. And Chesbro ivas not himself in that encounter by a long shot. He was norvous and over-Anxious, ns ,is P U-hlng showed. He did not split the plate with his accustomed rejrularltv and he knew it, b"'nrj.j, After, the Boston3 tied the score in the seventh Inning and were retired Chesbro came In from the field and told' Griffith to send someone else In thn box. ris he felt he couldn't get awav with the game. The manager had sized up the situation before Chesbro aked to be- relieved, and fans who were there will recall that Puttmann f was Been warming up back of the left Held bleachers. To make sure "Happy Jack" was not in form, Griffith aucs tloncd Klelnow, who was behind the bat, .... "He hasn't sot anything," the back slop said; "but he's gating along all right and he might pull out. The Bos tons are anxious and are cracking away at anything within reach. It's a tcssup as to whether it would be ad visable to send someone else in or not. Griffith hesitated until too late. Ches bro's ambition and his anxiety to win caused the pitcher's undoing, for In the ninth he no longer could control the ball on account of nls unstrung condi tion, and the memory of that fatal wild Pitch which gave Boston the game and the championship will linger with him long after he shall have passed up baseball for some other avocation in life.

"It's really funny how every Repub lican Senptor and Representative has been boasting recently about what his State did in the recent election in the way of majority," said an official at the White House. "The President has heard enough of this kind of stuff from really serious and able men to make him tired, I am sure. Ever since the election his enrs have been filled with self-eulogistic stuff about the majority of such and such a State being the greatest in the country," says the Washington Star "Here comes along a solemn and staid Senator from, we will say, Michigan. He has Just told the President what an Immense majority that State gave him The President has congratulated him, and ho saunters out among the news paper reporters. 'Well, Michigan has nothing to be sorry for,' he will say to the newspaper men. 'Wasn't that a great majority we gave? Nothing else like It In the country. Just think of our majority when the total vote cast was only so much,' and he smiles all over himself, while the newspaper men look sore because they haven't heard some thing new. 'The same old story,' they remark when he walks away, and ten minutes later out comes the distin guished Senator from just call It Cali fornia, so we may have a name. 'Didn't California do up the work in great shape?' he asks of the reporters. "I never saw the like in my life. No other State can compare with It. Just think of 115,000 majority out of a. total of something over 200.000 votes!' rose of Pennsylvania. He beams with "So It goes. Here Just a few days ago came that great political general, Pen actual pleasure when the President tells him Pennsylvania gave a great ma jority. 'Yes, over half a million,' he ad mits with an expansive smile. All these statesmen have evidently been looking at what their own States did and not at what the other fellows accomplished. Just two days ago an Illinois member of Congress tokl the President that they had quit counting the vote out there and didn't know whether the majority would be 300,000 or 1.000.000. The President couldn't help smiling, of course, but I am sure there was an awfully familiar twang to the remark." A Bird Lamplighter. In a suburban town where the streets are lighted by gas lamps, a curious thing happened. A gentleman noticed that for several nights the gas was not lighted in front of his house, and re ported the matter to the gas company. . The lamplighter who had the street in charge was sure that he had lighted it each night. Later the gentleman noticed that the lamp was often lighted through the day, and decide that some mischievous boy was responsible for It. Keeping a close watch for the offender, he was aston ished to see the light flash up when not a soul was near it. He placed the ladder against the post and climbed up to In vestigate the matter. He found that the two chains which turned the light on and off moved so easily that the slightest touch was sufficient to send them up or down. But they could not move of their own weight nor by the wind. Still more puzzled, the man re turned to his watch at a discreet dis tance and wo? soon rewarded by seeing a wren fly to the lamp, perch itself on the ring at the end of the chain, and give it a pull which lighted the gas. He then remembered that a wren had reared a brood in the lamp that year. Sure He Would Whistle. She. with an arm around his neck: "It makes you happy to know that I am pleased, doesn't It. dear?" He: "Why, yes." "And you arc happy, when you whistle, aren t j'ou. dear?" "Why, of course."
