"Hello, Sec," Is generally the greeting
given to the secretary by the player.
"Hello, Ref," 'Is another, used by the
Climbers when they stick out their
Lands to Billy Fowler, one of tho king

these secretaries are always popular,

plaints made by owners that the Lau
rel meet failed to live up to Its agree
ment with owners of horses.
The Jockey Club In New York is in
receipt of complaints today alleging
the Colonial: and G P. O., Chamber of I that the Laurel course failed to com
ply with its agreement to owners, and
that has brought forth a protest both
from owners and the manager of tne
Laurel track. Henry D. Brown.
The question hangs upon the interpre
tation of the stewards then on duty at
the last meeting at Laurel. The stew
ards decided that the Laurel track must
pay two owners larger sums than was
to be in accordance with what the man
ager thought was' proper, and with what
he claimed to have advertised.
Some more definite decision must be
reached, it Is said today, before the
racing Is resumed at Jamestown. The
decision is to affect several stakes ad
vertised In much the same manner as
those under dispute at the Laurel meet
ing. At least three horses must take pen
alties for having won at Laurel when
the stakes were not at what the owners
claim was advertised. In this wav

Say, for instance, the Climbers are

around the frontier of the league. Billy
Fowler has to arrange for the special
cars to carry the team to Philadelphia,
and has to wire for reservations at the
hotel there. Once in Sleeptown he races

Barnstorming trips, though, cause the
secretaries -plenty of trouble. When the
Climbers hit Syracuso last summer It
was fair week, and tho hotels were
packed. The writer saw himself and
eight players shoved into one room.
Seven cots were spread on the floor for
the weary players to use before the ex
hibition game with the Cincinnati Reds.
Eddie AInsmith was sick and had to
stay In his cot until the train left that
night for Cleveland. Yes, Fowler had
his troubles that day. ,
Then, after Fowler had succeeded in
getting the fast train' from Chicago to
New afork to stop at'Thlrty-third street
to let the Climbers catch their special
car, he bumped Into Toronto in nice
week. For an hour that night he went
from ono hotel to another until he had
his -party booked In four .different hos
telrles. "Ha. ha," laughs Fowler, "that was
some arrival, wasn't it? Getting into
town at 10 o'clock at night and then
trying to find" places for the players to
sleep?'
Another duty Fowler has" Is to collect
plenty of small bills just before leav
ing a town. He. has to dole out the
supper money and tne breaicxaat money.
The players have all their expenses ild
while Dn the road, and Fowler superin
tends the delivery of the bills. The fun

this scene justice.

been 'aware of the dlsDUted decision;
fear that If Mr. Brown's attitude is per
sisted in the Laurel race course will
not be recognized by the Jockey Club
when It asks for dates next October.
Another source of friction which is
causing some discussion by the stew
ards is the fact that the Havre de Grace
management have asked for dates from
April 6 to 26 next, and the application
has been held over by the Jockey Club
stewards, as some of those dates were
in 1912 used by the Jamestown track,
and its manager some time ago asked
for soring dates which would not be
claimed by the Maryland Jockey Club.
Experienced turfmen said today that
a harmonious arrangement Is possible,
whereby Jamestown. Plmlico. and
Havre de Grace can all be granted dates
in April and May. which would satisfy
all three of the managements. Laurel's
charter limits it to" the month of Octo
ber, so it would not be considered In
the spring.

players aA put back to them. Said off
hand, this seems easy, but ask Billy
Fowler about some of the players who
have been with the Washington dub.
Of course, he has already wired the
hotel in Boston for reservations. On
arrival, he Is Informed that a big con
vention Is being held under the shadow
of the icrea codfish, and that the play
ers will have to go three to a room.
Here the secretaries troubles begin to
earnest.
The players usually team up with
some regular partner, and this arrange
ment demanded calls for a shuffling of
the -cards. Of course, the players blame
the secretary as a matter of form. He
just grins, and, when they become too
peevish, bawls them on his own ac
count. In thjs he is always backed up
by the manager, who has been through
the whole game himself.
Now For Trouble.
A doubleheader Is billed for the last
day and now the secretary's troubles
begin In earnest. If the team can get
away at a certain time, a certain train
tales Fowler's cleaning up his hotel ac
count before he goes to'the park. Then,
he frequently discovers that some care
less player has. laundry due or a trunk
left In his room. That's why the secre
tary gets grayheaded before his time.
Of course, he has wired ahead to
Cleveland for his hotel there, but he
may have to make way for another
convention there, too. That means more
trouble.
Convention Town.
The worst convention town In the
country is Detroit. Ball clubs will ar
rive there bright and early In the morn
ing, coming from Cleveland by boat,
and find no rooms available. Then
there's howling. Fowler has to get at
least a couple of rooms for the most
nervous men to sleep in before the
game. This always applies to the pitcher
scheduled to work that day. But then
there's the rest of the bunch.
This fellow wants to take a bath. That
one wants the trainer to rub his sore
shoulder. The other wants to shave.
They all stand around and bawl the
secretary for not getting them rooms.
And when they are Informed that no
rooms will be ready till E o'clock and

tne piayert. lou see it pays to have
experience.
For .Eigjit Years.
"I've been-'coimected with the Wash
ington club' ever since the American
League came to town," Fowler told the
writer, "and for nine years I have one
en the road with the team. The' worst
experience I ever had in inyline waa
arriving in St. Louis during the world's
fair In 1S04 and not having a place to
take the bunch. That gave me a 'horror
and I shall never forget the man in the
St. James Hotel, who said he was will

fallen on his neck.
"Yes, there's a lot of detail to the Job
of arranging -for the regular tours.
Imagine all the details you have to
make for yourself for a short trip, say
to Boston. Then think of what must
be done for thirty-flve men who are to
be on the road for-almost a month and
kiting six or seven different cities for
stays of three or four days In each
place.
"The boys are good fellows, though,
and we have good times together. The

had before. It was a pleasure to travel

?,- Coming Some Tiaei
The time Is coming when evqry big

the business secretary, a man who
will look out wholly for th,e press agent
possibilities of the team. Baseball re
ceives more publicity than any branch
of amusement enterprise in the world.
It is mostly free" advertisement, too.
The public- demands complete Informa
tion about its heroes.
Has Walter Johnson a sore throat
out in Detroit? The fans here want to
know all about It. They want to know
what Is being done for it. They want
to know If Mike Martin Is caring for
it or has a regular physician been
called in. This kind of information
can, and is, provided by the war cor
respondent. But there is much information that
papers outside the big" league circuit
might use, and would gladly use.
could they get It. Many of these pa
pers are situated in cities and towns
close to the big league cities. Their
readers -help to swell big league cof
fers. It Is for them that the baseball
press agent will work one of these
days. But perhaps then It will be
harder to get Into the papers the
chatty stuff that now fairly swamps
them.

Coach of Tech Crew

Definite announcement of the plans
for the coming season on the water
will be made by Coach Clarence Hecox

Nothing definite has been announced
as yet although Coach Hecox has decid

idea of not only developing a schoolboy
crew, but affiliating the boys with the
Analostan Boat Club.
Tech's second venture on the water
was made last spring, and the crew,
