Downfall of Pitchers.

Cassidy, of the Harrisburg Indepen-
dent team, is the latest acquisition to
the Senatorial ranks. He was a few
days ago signed by Tom LOTUS. whose
probable intention is to play him at
second base in place of Barry McCor-
mick. The latter has shown up weak in
his batting. Lotus arrived al the con-
clusion that hitters are needed The
work of the Senators afieId has been ex-
cellent, and no one has a kick coming
from that end
But what has lost over half OF the
games played this year is weakness
with the stick. Cassidy batted well for
the Harrisburg team.

Whenever the name of "Rube" Wad-

manufactures story at Rubes ex-
pense. Here's one Of the latest:
When ne first broke into the game
Waddeu played with the Franklin team
OF Pennsylvania.
The opening game between Franklin and
Oil City came around. and as a result OF
the rivalry between the towns betting
was brisk, and on account of waddell's
"newness" the odds were on the other
side.
With the game In Franklin's favor,
10 8, two men out. and two on bases.
an Oil City player hit a weak one into
Waddell. He picked II up cleanly, and
after hesitating a moment. threw the
ball between the runner and the base.
The runners on the Oil City team had
scored and the men who hit the ball
went 20 third. The Franklin team was
disgusted, the manager was in A rage
but Waddell only turned a handspring
and ran like mad for the grand stand
The manager demanded an explanation.

he had learned it in his native town
of Prospect, Pa, where cross ball' was
in vogue.

Since Africander's grueling race In

Downfall of Twirlers.

This season has marked more than
any other on record the downfall of the
old regime Of twirlers in the ranks Of
Southern League balloon. One by one
the old stars that in other days were
the premier slabmen of the world, per-
haps, are slowly but surely passing
away from the diamond of active life.
A twirler's salary whip will not last
forever, and even the hot breath of the
South is not sufficient TO boil glass out of
the whips that whirred back in the early
SOS OF loosen kinks brought on by over
work in big league ranks ten seasons
ago.
The campaign of 1903 has seen the
downfall of that old warrior of many q
firing line battle-Ring Bailey. Red
Ehret has left the ranks OF the leaders.
Gus weighing has been released by At
lanta. Breitenstein's $4,000 whip has
lost its old-time cunning and the exist.
Louis wonder is rarely worked these
days. Frank Killen has won but few
games despite the fact that he has
pitched good ball most OF the time And
there. are others who might be mention
ed but tempus fugit and dope fails in the
pinch
What a downfall for Bailey, the old
time king of Southern slabmen. Lem is
now pitching for Columbia in the little
Alabama Tennessee league. and while he
is doing good work, what memories OF
reyeries must be his lot while his old
comrades are still working away in the
ranks of faster company.
Few of the leading pitchers of the
league ever worked before in faster COM
pany. Frank Smith, Red Fisher, Tom
Dougherty. Young Clarke OF Birming-
ham, Mcintyre, French, Babe Brown,
Rick Adams. Billy Campbell and a host
OF others received their training in the
South where they are still enlisted.

And used to raise the very devil,
While others tried to keep them level.

And always of their ownselves boast
