Like Tennyson's brook, pitchers may
come and pitchers may go. but there are
only two in the business who appear to
have a chance to continue.
The pair with the chance for con-
tinued usefulness are "Cy'' Young Of the
Boston Americans. and Joseph ]. Nc
Ginnity of the New York Giants"
Both are veterans. but managers Of the
American and National leagues consider
them the most useful pair in harness to-
day.
And eacfrut ti,en1ajor sengues can claim
one OF these heroes.
McGinnity is perhaps the most useful
twirler in the National League to-day. He
is a marvel physically.
True there are twirlers in the parent
body that can pitch more brilliantly at
times than the Iron Man." but for en-
durance and ability to go the route Nc
Ginnity is conceded to be the peer of all
the National League twirlers.
"Cy" Young occupies practically the
same position in the American League,
And they use different methods to secure
their ends
"Cy' Young is the bruising speed mer-
chant. He can send the ball across the
pan SO fast that it resembles a pewee
when It reaches the batter. On dark days
Young is invincible. OF course he is
great at all times. but he is at his best
when gloom hovers about the field

hard for all his results. He has not the

and I am pretty sure that he will sign
with US, If he plays professional baseball
at all. While he has not given out def
nitefy that he will play baseball for
money. there has been no statement from
him to the contrary, and II he does de-
eide to enter the professional ranks am
sure 1t will be by way of the Chicago Ma
tional League Club. The fact that We have
six good pitchers on our staff win NOT
hinder US In the least from adding . sev-
enth. It is worth the salary that we viii
pay Clarkson to keep him away from one
OF the several other teams that are anxious
to land the pennant this season, but who

speed of Young. but what he lacks in
speed he makes up in craft.
McGINNITYs FIGHT FOR FAME
McGinnity has not seen nearly as much
service as has Young. Joe began his
fight for fame about six years ago. at a
time when Young was at the height OF a
brilliant career on the diamond.
In 1893 McGinnity pitched a remarkable
twenty-one inning game and won In 1888
Joe's great work held the Baltimore
Orioles in a high place in the race for the
flag. !
During 1900 he pitched the Ssperbas OF
Brooklyn into q championship By tWariing
five games In six playing days. At this
particular time the Pirates were making
a bold bid for the honors that Brooklyn
longed for. and only BY sending McGin-
nifty into the breech was Hanion able to
land the honors.
Besides this. the lion-hearted Mack
offered to pitch every remaining game to
keep the Brooklyn team In the lead.
Last year McGinnity established q rec
ord that will probably never be surpassed
in baseball.
During the season Of 1903 Joe won three
double headers.
And the beauty about the Iron Man Is
his ability to last. Up to the present time
this season McGinnity has easily pitched
more winning. IL less brilliant. games of
baseball than any other man in the Ma
tional League.
McGinnity is Just 81 years old. He was
born in Rock Island in March. 1878.
Joe began his baseball career just eleven
The St. Louis Republic., 1904-06-05

But Young was there with the goods. He
turned the scorn Of the spectators into
applause before he pitched three innings.
When the game was finished Denton
| Young was bracketed a winner, and his
future fame practically assured.
REMARKABLE PITCHING FEAT.
On Thursday. May s, Young performed
perhaps the most remarkable feat in the
history of pitching. On that day he not
| only shut out the famous Athletics with
out run or hit. but not one of them
reached first base
Two other men have performed the
| same feat In the history of baseball. but
1t must be remembered that with the
improved methods OF the players of to-
day that Young's feat stands out alone
as the greatest pitching in the history
Of the great national pastime.
While Napoleon LaJole and the famous
Ed Deiehanty were members Of the Phila-
delphia team Young pitched a remark
able game against that aggregation.
Up to the ninth inning Of the game in
question Young had not allowed q hit,
nor had d man reached first base. With
two gone Delehanty tripled. 1t was the
only hit of the game. but enough to keep
IOuAS SStdbAisuluS q Q0-llt game
that season.
Young has played with three teams
Cleveland, St Louis and Boston, In his
career. He was always a star, although
he experienced his worst year in st.
Louis.
During the season OF 1892 while pitching
for Cleveland Young practically won the
first half of the seasons series from the
Hub team, and again took the second.
In the play-oh Young proved Cleyeland's
most mastery artist on the rubber, and
won four out OF the six games he pitched.
He lost one game to big Jack, Stivvits,
who pitched for st. Louis at one time,
and the other one to kid Nichols, who

PITCHED GREAT GAME HERE.
One Of Young's greatest games was
pitched In St. Louis against Theodore
Breitenstein, perhaps, the greatest left
handler the game has ever known. OF
course. Waddel has been more sensational
than was Breitenstein, but It must be
remembered that Brett was backed up
by some of the punkest teams that ever
appeared in the National League, while
'Rube" has always had . great bunch
behind him.

McGinnity. although he has seen Just
about twice as much service.
Speed and control are his strong points,
although he can mix in curves and
change OF pace when he is forced to the
issue.
Denton T. Young began his professional
career about fourteen years ago at Can
ton, o. He pitched then for the team rep
resenting the town made famous by the
martyred President Mckinley. During
that season he shut out team with no
runs. and incidentally famed eighteen
batters of the opposition.
A travelling man from Cleveland wit
messed the game and Immediately told
NJ. Stanley Robson Of the young farm
er's feat.
Robson took Young on trial, and when
he made his appearance in the Forest
City he certainly looked to be a green
youngster.
Youngs first game was against the Chi
caRos. He struggled out on I'll. field aft
er the rest of his comrades. Shy as a
maiden at a graduation function, Denton
walked to his place on the slab with his
head down. He presented picturesque
appearance.
With pair Of trousers much too small
for his gigantic frame, Denton Young
surely looked the part Of farmer.
And the opposition took him for ono as
he ambled out to the pitchers mound
The St. Louis Republic., 1904-06-05

years ago with the Montgomery, Ala,
team.
The following year found Joe on the slab
for the Kansas City team. but strangely
enough, the Iron Man" had to give up
the game on account of Ill health.
PITCHED FOR SPRINGFIELD.
During 1895. 1895 and 1897 Joe pitched for
the Springfield team OF Springfield, Ill.
I TgSnpplement his income. Joe worked In
an sfE6n mill during the Days his team
wasn't playing. and probably this is where
he secured the soubriquet of the Iron
Man"
For five years the ''Iron Man." with the
sole idea of eventual success in his head,
worked to perfect his famous underhall
raise" ball. This Is his mainstay to-day
and Is one style of delivery that fools
nearly all the batters of the National
League.
McGinntty's under-hand delivery is con-
sidered more effective by critics of the
game than any other style, and It is
claimed for 1t by its champions that it is
less wearing on the pitchers arm.
Joe Is pitcher who exhausts less energy
In game than any other pitcher in the
National League. He puts the ball over
and depends on his fielders.
In 1889 Joe was pitching against the Phil
adelphia Nationals. A. catcher on that
team used a strong spy glass to catch the
signals used by McGinnfty and Robson.
But the Iron Man" bafled them by pitch
ing without signals, and. although Ed
Delehanty, the only DEL" and Napoleon
La Joie, two of the greatest hitters the
world has ever known. played with the
Phillies that season, the Iron Man. beat
them two games in one day and in their
own bailiwick
withal McGinnity bears his horors mod
estly. and is ono of the most popular
workmen in baseball to-day
He is also a saving chap and owns an
interest in an iron foundry at South Nc
Alester. l. T., his home city.
YOUNG THE G. o. M.
Young is perhaps about the same age as
The St. Louis Republic., 1904-06-05

fought for sixteen innings, at the end OF
which Young was returned a winner.
In twelve consecutive innings Young al
lowed the st. Louis teams only two hits.
During the early nineties, Young shut
out the Cincinnati Reds at Cleveland and
did not allow them a hit.
In three successive years Young has
pitched three ffteen-inning games against
Detroit
His first game of this kind was pitched
at Boston. Young was opposed by Roscoe
Miller, now with the Pirates. and won by
score Of to /.
During the season OF 1909 Young, twirling
against win Mercer, beat Detroit in a
ifteen-inning battle by score of to l.
And on May II o I this year Young again
went the full fifteen innings against De-
troit, beating them ] to 0. Killian,
youngstsr, opposed him and did great
work.
During different seasons pitchers have
appeared who have outclassed Young or
MeGinnity, but the only man who can
dispute their right to title to king of
pitchers is kid" Nichols, who was out of
the major league for two seasons.
During the time that he was in the
major league, Nichols could be called the
the two years that he was in the minors
lost for him his chance for the scepter.

But the capture Of Knchou and the
outer defenses Of the Russian strong
hold does not make the case hopeless
for the Gear. The forts In the neigh
borhood Of the port itself are said to
be Of enormous strength and most

ton is not everything, however, as the
history OF recent naval conflicts proves.
The men behind the defences must pos.
