ADRIAN G. ANsON, NOW CHICAGO CITY
CLERK.
lurching, slashing movement, quick as
to get the strength of his body and his
weight behind the drive. One to look
at Del would have thought him a poor
hitter, although he was one of the best,
and at that there were times when Del
looked like a sucker against fast
curve ball. He was a great hitter
mainly because of a wonderfully accu-
rate eye and his uncanny ability to call
the turn on what the pitcher was going
to deliver.
Lajoie is a hitter much after the
style of Delehanty. He is huge and
powerful, with an ungainly lurch when
he meets the ball, and he has a mar
velous judgment of speed and a great
eye. He is what is known as wild
pitch hitter. He hits the ball better
foot outside the plate than he does
when it is over it, but he is likely to
cripple the first baseman If you pitch
inside to him, for he pulls and slashes
the ball fiercely on line to right. His
free shoulder muscles permit him to
hit high or low, and he crickets the
ball off his feet as well as drives the
high ones.
Whenever any one speaks of LajOie /
recall Cy Swain, the elongated Wash
ington pitcher. Cy was going to pitch
against Philadelphia and said tender
ly to Joe Campbell:
"JOe, I'd like to meet Lajoie."
you'll meet him this afternoon" re-
marked Campbell.
That afternoon Cooley led off with a
double, Delehanty followed with a
triple, and Lajoie smashed the ball
over the wall
did you meet Lajoie, Cy?" asked
Campbell after the game.
EYES," said Cy, land he had two ad-
vance agents"
Arson was a great hitter. His posi-
ton at bat was something to admire.
He stood, feet together, bat clutched
firmly at shoulder arms position, and
almost faced the pitcher. He took one
short step forward with his left foot
and met the ball squarely between the

ager as q Trader
Is q Wonder.
Only One Player of Original
Team Noq0 ON Regu-
lar Payroll.

As a trader in that greatest commod-
ity, flesh and blood patterned into a
baseball player, all must take off their
chapeaux to John J. McCloskey Of the
st. Louis Cardinal (National league)
team.
This man went to st. Louis late in
the winter, after all the other teams Of
the two big leagues had their pick Of
the talent from the minor leagues and
after all apparent profitable trades had
been completed.
When everything appeared as though
Stanley Robson would have to man.
age the team himself McCloskey ac-
cepted his terms and reported ready
for work A little heart to heart talk
with the owners Of the club resulted
in a perfect understanding, and the
new manager started to make himself
familiar with the conditions which
kept St. Louis tail end proposition for
such long time.
Today there remains on the regular
Grady, a catcher. The others are any
where and everywhere, but McCloskey
has a harmonious group of baseball
players who are taking the best care
of themselves.
This he has accomplished in the mid
die Of the season. 1t Is a feat never
even attempted by any other manager.
While the Cardinals have not held a
high position in the race, they look far
stronger than when the season opened,
and this from the standpoint Of team
work and inside baseball.
McCloskey's first trade was to get rid
Of Jimmy Burke. The turbulent one
was shipped to Kansas City as a ter
rible example.
Then he got a sterling young left
handler, Druhot, from Cincinnati. He
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-10-01

next moved on to Pittsburg and landed
Karger. In exchange for Karger he
gave Mcfarland, who was released by
Pittsburg. McCloskey landed an ex-
cellent twirler, gave away a man who
is not Of major league caliber and
came out far ahead.
He next stacked up against Chicago.
He gave Pitcher Jack Taylor, who has
always been a hard man to handle, in
exchange for Pitcher Beebe and First
Baseman Noonan and large bunch Of
cash as bonus.
Taylor is great pitcher, one Of the
best in the country, while Beebe Is only
a youngster. But this youngster has
more than made good. He has won
enough games this year to place him
in the list Of the five leading pitchers of
the National league. Noonan is a fair
ball player. McCloskey, on the work
Of the men since this trade, far out
generated Chance.
McGraw Of the champion New York
Giants was his next victim. The all
wise John ]. fell for a trade which is
still a sensation. He sent Outfielder
Mertes and Catcher Marshall and a
large check to st. Louis in exchange
for Shannon, who was never a star.
Mertes has showed up. better in every
department than Shannon. Marshall is
one of the best catchers In the business
and as pinch hitter he has few equals.
He can also play good game in the
outfield or of first base.
McCloskey has released Mcbride, his
great fielding shortstOp, on account of
weak hitting and has taken q young
ster from Texas, Crawford by name,
to fill the place. Crawford was the
star Of the first game he played, and,
while he cannot be expected to keep
up the pace he set there, he is looked
upon as a conner by McCloskey. He
has broken in a pitcher, Hostetter, as
q utility man, and in this role the play
er is equal to any in the big leagues.
He nailed down Bennett, from the
coast and a former Southern league
star, as second baseman. Bennett is
one of the most reliable men In the
league and has fulfilled expectations
In every way.

The Poor Old Horse.

We have a friend in Irvington who
recently gave away an old horse to a
farmer who he had reason to think
would take good care of the animal
rather than accept s25 offered for it
by city expressman, who he thought
would abuse and half starve it, says
the Indiana Farmer. The horse is
strong and good for several years
service if properly treated. but could
not endure cruelty. This is an exam
pie worthy of imitation by many who
have such animals 1t is pity to see
an old horse, or one having some
blemish that renders him unstable,
put into the hands of some irrespOn-
sible, cruel, ignorant or stingy driver.
to be overworked, unsheltered. beaten
and starved till death comes to his
release. Farmers having such ami
mails to dispose of would better shoot
them than send them to the city. The
few dollars they will bring will not
compensate for the stings the deed
will infict upon their conscience, if
they have any.

Herkimer, N. Y-Printed below are
letters which, within the past few
weeks, have become known almost
from one end of the country to the
other as Grace Browns letters" "
They need no introduction, save per-
haps the statement that these are the
letters which were read at the trial
of Chester Gillette.
They formed the most remarkable
feature of that case. The whole struc-
ture of the prosecuting attorney was
built upon them. 1t passes under
standing why the murderer of the
girl should have preserved a series of
documents which, it is safe to say,
spelled his doom from the moment
they were placed in the hands of a
Jury of IL men. 1t is inconceivable
that Gillette kept them for their
pathos, or the gentleness of charac-
ter which they revealed, for he is not
things appeal. 1t is utterly improb-
able that he ever recognized in them
a simple literary beauty, although
such they do possess in an unusual
degree-the more unusual when it IS
remembered that Grace Brown was
a country girl of plain education, who
had worked as a factory hand
Yet somehow Gillette kept them,
and the American public has come into
the possession of one of the most re-
markable series of documents that
ever appeared in criminal case. AS
revelation of character, as the writ
ten record of a tortured soul, they
have already taken a place unique in
The annals of real life tragedies.
