Water baseball is positively the very
latest addition to the already long list
Of sports in which the American athlete
of to-day participates. The sport was
~inaugurated at the Central Y. M. c. A.
of Chicago and throughout the middle
west it has become exceedingly popular
among swimmers. The beautiful point
about the game is that a participant
need not be an expert swimmer nor a
professional baseball player. The sport
is gaining ground rapidly and soon will
be recognized from coast to coast, ac-
cording to the prediction of a Chicago
promoter. Describing the fun, an en-
thusiast says; "Al the game requires
is q. rudimentary knowledge of base
ball and fair swimming ability. The
outfit consists of a tennis ball, a yard or
less of broomstick and four rafts-one
large and three small. The batsman
Perth Amboy evening news., 1905-08-25

and the catcher stand on the big raft.
On a small raft ten yards away stands
the pitcher. He may deliver the ball
in any style he chooses so that 1t crosses
the plate. In striking everything goes
-bunt, bingle, swat or foul tip. There
ale five men on a side. The momentbat
and ball come in contact the batsman
must start for first base. 1t doesn't mat
ter how the ball is hit, you count 1t as
fair. Indeed, it is a triumph of skill to
turn and swing with the ball and send
H. flying past the catcher. Suppose you
have driven a good ball out near third
base. You pile overheard with a dive
towards first. AS you rise to the surface
Won see the third baseman and the pitch
err furiously swimming after the ball.
To your excited eyes it seems as II first
base were a mile away. AS you nea the
base you see the pitcher seize the ball
and turn in the water to throw a ball
while treading water, and the chances
are that the throw is a bad one, and you
are safe. You now turn your atten-
ton toward second. To steal it seems
easy, and so, as soon as the pitcher deliv-
ers the ball, you start. But if all goes
well with the other team, when you
have gone about a third of the distance
you notice that the second baseman has
the ball. Giving up hope of gaining Sec
ond, you turn to regain first, only to
note that the first baseman has followed
you and waits for the ball about five feet
to your rear, You again turn your eff
forts toward second, only to see the sec
ond baseman swimming towards you.
With much splashing you try to eyade
this latest conner, but you are put out
and retired amid the yells of the onlook-
ers."

young players, regarded as finds" when

In the speedy manner in which the New
Englander did. Young started out TO
earn.a livelihood on the Boston & Maine
railroad as a fireman, at $50 a month.
That was three years ago. Even when
a boy he had a fondness for baseball,
and when able to do so would pitch Sat
urday afternoons. In this way his skill
developed and he was soon enrolled as
twirler for a team representing the small
town Of Whitefield, N. H. His work at
tracted much attention through the
Granite state, and in the spring of 1904,
after numerous offers, he signed a con-
tract with the Concord team. Young's
pitching had been nothing short of mar
velous. 1t would be so for an old stager
in the National league ranks, but for a
newcomer with less than two months
facing the giant sluggers of teams that
were organized before he was born, it
seems to border on the miraculous.

set the baseball world ago Thus far
he has won more games than any two
of the other Boston twirlers. He isn't
very tall, but, on the other hand, is short
and stocky. He has a tremendous pair
of shoulders and is a left-wing artist.
All he claims is q years, and he weighs
100 pounds. What makes his perform
ances the more remarkable is his stead
mess, which left-handed pitchers so
often lack. In four of his games he did
not give a single base on balls, and has
five shut-outs to his credit, one being
over Chicago, n owe Pittsburg, two
over the Phillies and one over New
York. He has not been able to white
wash a rival team yet without a man
on the other side reaching the first cor
ner, but it must be borne in mind that
the veteran ICY" didn't accomplish
that feat until last year, and the new
ICY" has plenty of time yet to make
good.
