It has been related how R. J. Schu- macher discovered Bedfent and paid him 1.50 to pitch a game for the Warren, Pa., team. Now comes EB. F. Clepper, manager of the Sharon, Pa, club, who says he walked two miles to a farm where Bedfent lived, but tailedto land him, as he could not persuade his parents to allow their son to take up professional ball. Clepper s story goes about like this: One day the Sharon club was playing an exhibit at Conneaut Lake when a Pa, man told him about Bedient. Clepper hustled to Falconer, N. ., and walked two miles to the farm. (Why he walked instead of driving isn t apparent unless the Sharon club was as hard up for Johnny Dundee has been offered 1,200 to meet George Kirkwood in New York, Dec. 10.

Bedient meantime pitched some good semi-pro ball fer the Johnstown club. About. that time there a great rivalry in Greenville metween some df the industrial clubs. The manager of the Tube Milf team heard of Bedient and engaged: him to twirl a game against the Cathegie club. He wasitold that if he won the game he would be pald 26 affd if helost ho would only get 10.. Needless to say he won the game 5 to 0. He had it strikeouts and orily allowed a, couple of hits.
