New country person who bought a gold brick didn't feel half us badly after he discovered his error as Jawii docs these days whenever he thinks about that "Pol" Perritt deal. Jawn got a gold brick in 1 which is bad enough.

But the worst part of it. from the McGrawian viewpoint, is that Jawn spent hundreds of dollars and many aniious hours in trying to keep "Reb" Oakes. the manager of the Pillsburgh Feds, from outbidding Jawn for the gold brick. This is tUe yarn: Perritt used to pitch for the Saint Looie team and Jawn decided that he'd do a heap better in a Giant uniform. So at the end of the 1914 season Jawn entered into negotiations with Miller Uuggiiis.

the "David Harum" of baseball, and Miller lived up to his nickname by letting Jawn have "Pol" for a considerable bit of booty. Well, springtime came in due course, but "Pol" didn't come to the Giants. Instead. "Pol" began flirting outra- with the Feds. Oakes wanted him.

He asked "Pol" how much Jawn to pay him and "Pol" told him. "I'll boost that total Jl.OOO por season." said Oakes. "Oh. very -well--I'm yourn," quoth "Pol." "Pol" left his home for the purpose of reporting to the Pittsburgh Feds. In the meantime.

Jawn McGraw be- ran to wonder whV'-Pnl" didn't nut In an appearance at the Giants' camp. In the nick of time, as the dime novels put It. Jawn learned that "Pol" hud been quite untrue to him--that he had been lured away by Federal coin. "Go thou and head him off," wired Jawn to Dick Kinsclla. the Giant ivory hunter, who was then in Mississippi.

HARRY HOOPER SOLD FOR $25 Showed a Much Semblance to Ball Player as One Is Apt to Find in i Barrel of Spareribs. How much would you figure Harry Hooper is worth to the Red Sox? AVell. there was a time when title to Hooper's person changed hands for i the munificent sum of J25. Bill Curtin. who bossed the Sacra- i mento club some years hack, was one "I want Perritt.

ya goin'?" asked Dick casual-like after the refreshments had been served. "Oh. me? I'm goin' to the Pittsburgh Feds' camp. I'm gonna play with them this.season." responded "Pol." "No, you ain't." asserted Dick. "You're gonna play with the Gianti." "I not." remarked "Pol." "I was figgerin' on doin' that a while ago, but I changed my mind.

I gotta right to change my mind wh the other fellows otter me more money." "How much did they otter you?" queried Dick. "Pol" told him. "Well, I'll beat that." said Dick. And right then and there Dick is reported to have quoted "Pol" a salary of S9.000 per year under a three-year contract. Perritt became-a Giant at a reported salary of J9.000 a year, and this is what he did in 1915 to earn it: He worked games and won hut 12.

He was knocked out of the box so often that every time he entered it the betting was 2 to 1 that he wouldn't last through the game. He pitched a brand of baseball so Weird that It became a That's enough to make Jawn sorrowful, but the sadness increases when he recalls that he must "Pol" for two years longer--and pay him $9.000 for each of-these years. And. in ihe Oakes is patting himself on his left shoulder blade. to a ball player in him as one 18 apt to find in a barrel of spareribs.

He was on the point releasing the future world's aeries star when Curtin heard about it. "No. don't dp it." said Bill. "Sell him to me. I'll give you $25 for him." The deal was made, and Hooper started on the road to fame.
