In one day. If has been done more than
once. The record OF Alec Carter an
English cross-country jockey. who won

He won four steeplechases and one

COughlin's FOrehnger Gone.

IL Is not generally known, but there
is man on the Detroit team crippled
In the same wav. He IS Captain BIZ
Coughlin. The forehnger OF Coughlin' s
left hand Is gone. and yet ii is with
that hand that he makes those sen
setlonal stops that have won him a
position this wear by the side or Bill
Bradley and Jimmy Collins as a third
oaseman.
BIZ Bradley is probably the better
all-round third baseman. He can hit
better and is smoother in getting af-
ter bunts. Jimmy Collins in his best
days was probably a flasher and more
spectacular player. But on real hard
work 10 one at third has Il on Cough
lin No man knocks down the line
drives that look good when they start
for extra bases the way he does
And yet he has but three fingers
Baseball players hands afford an in
teresting study. Some are harder than
the moldeT's or farmers hands Others
are so=t as a woman's.
Coughlin's hands are as hard as wood
and he has a grip Ike iron.

Elberfeld Fights Ball.

Kid EIberfeld fights the ball and gets
away with il just about as well as any
other player
He comes IN after every iufeld hit and

goes right after IL, spears IL, and throws

c. Jones' Twisted Hooks.
The outneIders' hands are usually soft.
and a pitchers hand does not need to
be hard George MulIin. in good form,
has probably the best curved ball in the
game. and yet his hands are compare
lively soft. Charley Jones. the Wash

the fingers are bent and turned as If
he had been a catcher all his life.
The catchers are the real men 10 suffer,
