RUDE WADDELL A
SHATTERED IDOL
Philadelphia Fans Say They Are.
Tired Of the Reuben s /
Antics.

Philadelphia, Oct. 21.-A popular idol
was shattered and another was elevated
to the pedestal of great fame when the
giants and athletics engaged in the fight
for the highest honor in baseball. The
failure of Rube' Waddell to respond
to the demand Of Philadelphia fans to
demonstrate his greatness In the series
has made him persona non grata with
the fans Of this city, and the eccentric
pitcher can never hope to absorb SO
much Of the imelight as he did up to
the time of his detection. -.
On the other hand, Christy Mathew
son.: always regarded as great pitcher
whose effectiveness was the result Of
intelligence and physical capabilities,
now stands head. and shoulders above
all the great pitchers of this day and
Of days gone by. Waddell was freak;
Mathewson the product of experience
and good handling.
It is said that Wadden will not pitch
for the athletics next season. His fail
ure this fall can be atoned for only by
sensational work next year and unless
he starts well he will probably be drop
ped. Connie Mack is easy going, but he
is disguised with Waddell. Once the

stamp always do. Faults that would
not be tolerated in another ball player
were overlooked because Of his un-
doubted pitching ability. Once he
Waddell was the greatest strike-out
pitcher in either league. He won TWEEN
ty-four out of thirty-fves games and
struck out 286' batters, an average of
SIT strikeouts game. The figures
show that 'tDoc0 White, of Chicago,
was the most effective pitcher when it
came to holding his opponents to few
runs. Clark Griffith ranked second in
this respect and Waddell third. Null
len. of Detroit, gave the most bases on

New York, Oct. 21.-Jerome K. Jer-
ONE, the English humorist and author,
who is here on "a lecturing tour, will try
to get the famous Leander crew to row
an all-American crew next season.
The author Of EThree Men in a
thorities will not permit eforeign
crew seeking the Grand Challenge cup
to have representatives of more than
one club or college row in the challeng-
ing boat, altho Leander, which usually
defends the trophy, is permitted to row
with the best blades Of England, Sc
lected from both Oxford and Cambridge.
The English stewards get around the
bush by CHASING the Leander crew as
being of one club, but, as a. matter OF
fact. the personnel of the boat is in
variably composed of eight men chosen
from the scores of smaller colleges in
ton that America be permitted to pick
men from Yale, Harvard, Cornell, CO.
lumbia, Wisconsin and the other col
leges, or from the leading amateur boat
clubs of the country, has never met
with the approval of the august Henley
stewards.
"That is all, wrong.o said Mr.. Jer-
ONE. All wrong. When l go back
to England I shall inquire about this
selected crew business There should be
an equal chance in the matter. I am
positive that the British sporting pub
! lie, which honestly loves fair play,
would never tolerate any unfaifness on
| the part of the Henley stewards, pro-
viding. as you say, that they really ex-
ist. I most certainly shall inquire. into
/ the matter when / get back home. -

sit commenced to rain shortly after
leaving Glenwood and the roads were
bad, but we put on our weed chains and
continued on our journey to St. Cloud,
after which we found fairly good roads
to Minneapolis. We had but ole ac-
cident-meeting farmer. He did not
signal and as we approached him, his
team jumped across the road and it was
q case of4go into the team or the ditch.
We chose the latter, landing in about.
four feet Of water. Our car looked
like a hopeless case. The farmer seemed
TO feel that our plight was partially his
fault so he volunte to pull us out.
When on solid footing we were
somewhat uneasy, fearing that our car
might be out of commission from the
Jolt it sustained from it's plunge into
its cold bath. Much to QUIZ delight and
surprise it started off as if nothing had
happened. Our tour from Chicago to
Minneapolis and Glenwood, and our
hunting trip about the latter towns has
been indeed an enjoyable one: We ex-
pect to return home soon, feeling much
the best for our trip and outing, having
gained in flesh and vigor..

state Of Minnesota, its beautiful lakes,
its woods and its many beauty spots,
than we could have ned by any other
mode of conveyance than the automo-
bile. -

Special to The Journal. 49,
Valley City, N. D., Oct. 21.-The
football team of the State Normal
school, Of this city, will play with the
Congregationalists of Fargo college, at
Fargo Monday. The Normal school
boys played at Fargo against the Agri-
cultural college last Monday, and altho
beaten 20 to 0, put up a good and
plucky game.
The farmers averaged twenty pounds
heavier than the teachers and made
practically all their gains on center
smashes, even then being held for
downs several times. The game, Mon
day will be closer as the teams are
more nearly the same weight and evenly
matched. The Fargo college will play

Toronto, Ont, Oct. 21.-Dan Patch
ended his seasons work with an exhibit
tion here yesterday and the great PAGER
will return to Minnesota with the
worlds record for the mile set three
quarters Of a second lower than it was
on Sept. j. s5-ss
Dan Patch $ speed work during the
season just coming to close has been
as follows: First mile, 1:591l5, Sept. 4;
second, 1:5711a, Saturday, Sept! 9; third,

last mentioned trial, he was hitched to
wagon and reduced the halfsmile track

in 2:011a, in rain and strong breeze;
seventh, at. Lexington in l SO, Oct. 9Th !;
eighth, in b1:55A, ,Oct...7.
In this mile there were several men
on the track, including two of the
Judges. who caught the mile in 1:55.s Mr..
Savage himself was under the wire and
not any question that those who timed
the mile accurately under the wire
caught the mile in 1855, but the judges
hung out 1855 Il.
Fast Unpaced Work.
ii Dan Patch's ninth mile was on Oct.
313, unpaced, in 1857 This mile was
paced just at dark in cold strong
breeze blowing down the stretch. Scott
Hudson directly after the mile, ex-
pressed the opinion that this is the
greatest mile ever paced by any living
! horse.
Mr.. Savage, the owner of Dan Patch,
sat opposite the wire and caught the
mile in 1859, and a prominent trainer
who sat beside Mr.. Savage, also caught
/ the mile in the same time. Scott Hud-
son, who drove the pace maker, also
caught the mile in 1859. There is no
/ doubt in the minds Of the horsemer who
saw this great mile that Dan Patch
should have had the record of l:59.
i This is a. SO days record. and during
1 this period Dan. Patch broke three
/ worlds records, before an attendance
Of 255. 900 people, and earned over $40,
