Fans who have been looking over musty files are now asserting that, while Matthewson is wonder, hiss feats have been duplicated several times.
 Baseball history. they assert, records no greater pitching performances than
 S-k of Bobby Carruthers when he twirled the St. Louis Browns to victory in the American Association, the Browns to victory in world 5 championship series against Anson Chicago White Stockings.
 Charlie Radbourne also won Ma tional League pcnnant for the Provi- t1ener club many years ago by hls wonderful work in the pitchers box: and capped the climax at the end or the season by pitching his team to victory over the Mctropolitans Tor the worlds championship.
 Tim Kcefe pitched the old New, York Giants to victory In the National League pennant race of 1888, and then beat Coniskey's Browns Tor the worlds championship.
 Lady Baldwin. southpaw, was the pitching mainstay of the Detroit slug gers in 1889. when they won the l.l- & fional League flag and then beat the Browns for the worlds championship.
 Carruthers, Keefe. Radbourne and Baldwin were all aided more or less by other great pitchers, as Matthew son was helped the past season by Joe McC:innity The latter is one Of the greatest pitchers on the diamond, bu' his glory is eciipaed to q certain eX- tent by the scintillating Mathewson just as Dave Foutz was by the more brilliant Carruthers.

He Is To B. Turacd Over to Durrett By Connie Mack In Part
 Payment For Old-

article just now. but there was one piece of news that dfifted through fandom yesterday that makes Ike Durfett's Montgomery aggresatoh look good for the coming season.
 The piece of informa ton is that the MeCrane matter which has been hang, ing fire for so long is about settieu Tor good. McCrane has written a let- tor accepting the terms proposed oy has forwarded the southpaw coho la tract which with the signature II the pitcher is looked for any day. .,
 Some months ago Manager Connle Mack of the Atheltics wrote to Pres- ldent Anerine proposing teNturn Mc- Crane over to Montgomery ,, n a,s. sS st payment on siRube" Oldring. The first half of the draft. s35e, had already been paid by Mack. and by turning McCrane over to Montgomery he was to be released from the second haII. Mack stated further that II ne was unable to deliver the pitcher to Mon, : gomcry of course the trade would be cailed of and he would pay the sec ond half of the draft for oldring.
 McCrane is said to be an unusually fast left-hander. Mack had him signed but he jumped the Phiiadelpni,a team and played with the Pennsyl- yania outlaw League last sumner. He still belonged to Mack and would have had to join the Athletics for the sea- son of 1906, but in November when the proposition was made to Montgom- cry Mack could not locate McCrane: Since thcn he has been found and He has accepted terms, his contract has been sent him and he will either play here this summer or with an in- dependent organization
