CON STARKELL
A BIG SURPRISE
Boise Slabman Opens Clark Griffiths'
Eyes.
HIS SPIT BALL A WONDER
MAN WHOM McCLOSKEY TRIED
TO RELEASE FROM INFANTS.
BY Sam Crane.

| Montgomery. Ala, April Another
I spit ball pitcher. and good one. too. can
now be added to Manager Griffith's bunch
! of possibilities and probabilities. Con
StarkelI. all the way from Boise, unher-
aided and praises unsUng, jumped to the
| center Of the baseball stage yesterday and
slUng the -taIked-of ''expectoratiOn
! pellet in L way that afforded genuine
surprise
Griffith, who caught Starken when he
! launched the freakish bulb said after
ward: "Starkeii has the best spit ball /
have ever seen pitched. | was fooled SO
by it that 1 couldn't catch 1t at first
Starkell is a tall, Well-built fellow, with
a long, strong arm, and in mis- delivery he
takes an immense stride. lie is one of
those pitchers who appear to be right on
top of the batter. He is an unasSuming
youngSter. and when he stepped on to the
slab for the first time there was much
curiosity TO see what he could do. After
warming up a bit he suddenly shot in a
spit ball that would have done credit to
CheSbTO, Who was thought TO nave n
mortgage on that particular and peculiar
delivery
The newcomer accomplishes the unex-
pected feat so easily and nonchalantIy
that Griffith and the other players were
amazed. Griffith was not sure Starl1ell
intended to pitch the spit ball, thinking it
might have been an accident, and shout
cd: Try that same ball over again
| Starkell did so and the second ball took
even more Of 4 decided drop than the
first. Starkell did not get up much speed,
either, but he apparently had plenty in
reserve.
In talking Of starkeITs performance,
Griffith said: Il always like 10 catch
new pitcher when he is starting off, for
then he is bound TO show a flash Of what
he can do. He may be lame and sore the
second and third days, but at the very
start ne can be sized M. He certainly
showed me all right today. 1 am of the
opinion he will be a COTker-'
WiImot Recommended StarkeIl.
To Walter ,wiImot belongs the credit Of
sending Starkel into the big league. He
was recommended to Griffith last fall by
the suite mand-cr. as was also Willie
HOgg Of Spokane. Wilmot spoke Of the
matter last week in Butte. and said he
was sure both men would make good.
While Starkell pitched for McCloskey
Honest John did not think he was
worthy Of passing notice. In fact Nc
Closkey tried his best to release Starkell,
and II one time offered TO sell him to
salt lake for a mere trffIe. He gave
Starkell his release a few days later but
the Boise directors and Eddie Hammond
of the Boise team forced McCIoskey TO
keep Starkell on the team. and gave him
instructions to pitch StarkelI in his reg
uldr turn

for he has instructions to win, but not
to show the horse up too much, and the
race is at six furlongs, At the half the
three are running in front, with the Kill
lem trick a head to the good, Maggie
Jenkins second. a length in front Of
Johnny
Then they came around the far turn
and on the three-quarter pole. At this
place they stand Maggie first, half
length. Killem second by a neck. and
Johnny third, a length in front of the
next baby. Just then the boy on John
ny makes his move. and at the turn
into the stretch Johnny Jones is flying
away four lengths in front, with Mag
gle second and some either skate third.
Down the straightaWay Johnny simply
Waltzes. and we all SAW ourselves doing
magnificent stunts, when at the fifty
yard post. the boy tried easing up his
mount. Johnny has a long, gangling
gait, and would not stop easy.
The boy wants to let him down,
and so twenty yards out jerks him up
suddenly. This causes him TO lose his
gait entirely. AS ne does so he throws
out a hind foot and simply cuts in half
the hOof of a front leaving him help
less on three legs. of course, the others
finished in front, and we see our bright
hopes dissipated without a possible eX-
CuSe. As the boy is in on the killing
he naturally gets down and sheds tears
but what's the use?'

Jack Holmes has won many bets and
has lost many, but if his line of sure
enough hard luck tales can be equaled
l want to see the color of the mans hair
who has the ability, says a Hot Springs
sporting writer. Jack has missed more
$4,000 and $4,000 coups than I have 81
and 81 winnings, but about the best he
tells is of a race in New Orleans when
after he and his friends had bet enough
to win 1925, 900. his horse lost the race
because he actually cut off half his hoof
twenty yards from the wire when ten
lengths to the good and was beaten
standing with the disfigured member
hanging to the leg.
No matter what the horses name nor
the date. Jack can and viii supply any
inquirer with both If a stamp is in
closed; but on the occasion his friends
had the greatest killing ever planned
framed. The horse was ready and the
soft spot was at hand when commits
siOns aggregating many thousands were
sent out TO poolrooms. The horse
opened at tWentieS, but when the pool
room players had been given time TO
get down their coin, Jack and his
friends started down the line in the
ring with pockets bullying with money.
Betting ten and twenty with every lay
er they passed, they walked UP and
down the ring and up and down again
until the horse had been sent TO evens
at post time. Then, when the bell rang,
they were begging the bOo6ies to take
more, for they thought they had a /
toto shot.
