But the fear of fire was not his real reason for this attitude, as later developed. Jennings found his man looking heavy eyed and falling off in his batting one season, and began to suspect that he was not taking the best of care of himself. Therefore, he set a watch on him to see that he went to bed in good time. When Jennings kicked to him about his sluggishness, he complained that he was ill. "I believe," he said, "that I must have a touch of malaria, and it has taken all the 'pep' out of me." One night this particular player, who had been loafing around the lobby of a hotel talking to Jennings, finally rose, stretched, yawned, and said: "Well, me for the hay to see if I can't get back some of this old ' pep.'" "That's the stuff," answered "Hughie," heartily. The player walked to the elevator in full view of the manager and climbed aboard. After watching the elevator for a while, Jennings met some friends and went off to a quiet place where they fell to discussing baseball so vigorously that the meeting was not terminated until about four o'clock in the morning. While Jennings was waiting to ascend in the elevator in which the boy was sleeping while it was stopped at some upper story, he saw a familiar figure roll into the lobby. Jennings ducked behind one of those property palms that you find in every hotel lobby where the player could not see him. Then he waited until the wanderer had pushed the elevator button three or four times. At last, the boy was awakened, and the car appeared. Jennings slipped out from behind the palm and climbed into the elevator. "Do you walk in your sleep?" inquired "Hughie," sardonically. "I thought you were going to the feathers about half-past ten." "A friend of mine was...

Download or read book Tales from the Deadball Era written by Mark S. Halfon and published by Potomac Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2014-02-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Deadball Era (1901û1920) is a baseball fanÆs dream. Hope and despair, innocence and cynicism, and levity and hostility blended then to create an air of excitement, anticipation, and concern for all who entered the confines of a major league ballpark. Cheating for the sake of victory earned respect, corrupt ballplayers fixed games with impunity, and violence plagued the sport. Spectators stormed the field to attack players and umpires, ballplayers charged the stands to pummel hecklers, and physical battles between opposing clubs occurred regularly in a phenomenon known as ôrowdyism.ö At the same time, endearing practices infused baseball with lightheartedness, kindness, and laughter. Fans ran onto the field with baskets of flowers, loving cups, diamond jewelry, gold watches, and cash for their favorite players in the middle of games. Ballplayers volunteered for ôbenefit contestsö to aid fellow big leaguers and the country in times of need. ôJoke gamesö reduced sport to pure theater as outfielders intentionally dropped fly balls, infielders happily booted easy grounders, hurlers tossed soft pitches over the middle of the plate, and umpires ignored the rules. Winning meant nothing, amusement meant everything, and league officials looked the other way. Mark Halfon looks at life in the major leagues in the early 1900s, the careers of John McGraw, Ty Cobb, and Walter Johnson, and the events that brought about the end of the Deadball Era. He highlights the strategies, underhanded tactics, and bitter battles that defined this storied time in baseball history, while providing detailed insights into the players and teams involved in bringing to a conclusion this remarkable period in baseball history.
