ICY" YOUNG GREAT FEAT.
Performance of Ward and Richmond
 Were Inferior.

Comparing tho phenomenal perform
 ance of 'Cy'' Young to that of John
 M. Ward and Lee Richmond is like
 comparing the speed of a crew in a
 working boat to that of the same crew in racing shell, says an exchange.
 The pitchers twenty years ago ran
 about the box with no restrictions and
 let the ball go from 8 distance of 4o
 feet. while now the pitcher is practi-
 cally tied to the pitching slab 60 feet
 distance. Since the pitching of Ward and Richmond. every new rule has been made with a view to hampering the pitcher, until now great perform ances are the result of head work and phenomenal skill, such as was shown by Young in the game against the hard hitting Athletics on Thursday. The performance of Young stands out
 as the record for pitching, with no chance Of seeing Q better one until the distance is shortened, if such I condl- ton should ever again obtain.
 From time to time some great pitch CT shuts out team. and does not al- low hit. This is heralded as a wonderful piece of work, and 1t is. But shutting out team without a
 man reaching first base, under such conditions as faced "Cy" Young Thursday, never has been done, and
 no impartial critic can compare Wards or any one else's performance with Young's great feat. Moreover, it was all ''Cy'' on Thursday. There were no great. blood thrilling plays behind him to help him out. He sim l ply had the batters at his mercy. Sel- dom could they hit the ball hard, and 1 when they did it was with uncertainty and directly to one of the Boston men. And sCy'' was taking chances all the time and working to the limit. He
 was helped, doubtless, by the foul strike rule, but all the time he was us ing his great curve ball, his jump ball,
 and putting in fast shoots when they
 were unexpected, and when the ordin- ary great pitcher would take no chances. And finally it should be re-
 membered that baseball to-day is a science. No longer is it in the exper- mental stage, as when Ward and Rich nond did their work. Curve pitching was new and the man who could then curve tue ball at all was a wonder and had all batsmen at his mercy. But Thursday it was the handing out of superior all-round baseball goods that

NO STOLEN BASE.
Sporting Editor Democrat:

sporting E0lLOr DemOcraLs
 A question has arisen as to what constitutes stolen base. The runner is on first base; he runs to second base on pitched ball, touches the base and slides off. The ball has been deliver ed to the second baseman. by catcher, and puts the runner out before he is able to regain the base. Is the run ner credited with stolen base? Is the catcher credited with an assist? !? Please answer tonight and oblige.
 VERITAS
 "A stolen base is base that a rum ner advances, unaided by a base hit, put out, a fielding or battery error In the case you mention the runner would have been entitled to a stolen base had he not oyerrun the base As he was put out he has gained no base and is therefore entitled to no stolen base. The catcher should be credited with an assist. The catcher could not be credited with an assist were the runner given a stolen base. You can not give two credits where only one is due

At Springfield.

Springfield, May 12.-Side-Wheeler fuckey did the business. Somewhere on his person the big Ieft-hander must wear n rabbits foot for it is practical ly impossible for the Springfield Ponies to beat the homeless wanderers from New Haven when Tuckey is in the box. Six games the man with his pitching wing on the sunny south twirled against Springfield and only once was the hoodoo broken and that was when Cy Miller came under the wire one run to the good at Savin Rock.
 Lucky Tuckey had the rabbits foot with him yesterday all right and the way things broke for him put the New Havens on Easy street from the start. It looked for awhile as though nine little ciphers were going to be the re- suit of the Ponies efforts but not so for Bill Luby did little swatting on his own hook and the game ended to in New Ravens favor.
