UNIQUE TONGUE
HAS BALL GAME
SLANG OF THE DIAMOND A
COMPLETE LANGUAGE
Expressive Words Carried at Will
and Are Always Understood
by the Fans-Some Few
Instances

Baseball Is one of the liveliest Ian
guages in the world today. Compared
to it golf, horsehacing circus and rail-
road are expressionless. and the only
one of the undictionaried languages
that approaches 1t in richness of eX-
preston in terseness and point Is skat,
which, however, is more limited says
an eastern writer. The men who write
and talk baseball stop at nothing.
They follow Prof Brander Matthew'S
theory that the best language is that
which conveys the meaning most
clearly. and they adapt from English,
French. German, Chinese and other
languages, and when these fail to fit
the occasion they invent a word.
Every one who knows baseball
knows exactly what they mean
no matter what they say or write
and regardless of the fact that
Noah Webster might scratch his head
a week trying to think what they
meant. Even the Jones flew, Smith
biffed, Brown sked" school of litera-
ture occasionally have added something
to the language of the game by coin
ing an apt word.
Once upon a time there was one of
those gems of purest ray serene hidden
down in the Deep dark caves of ocean
or to be less poetic, at Quincy, ILL.,,
who made language while you waited.
An abstract from his classic report of
baseball game between Quincy and
Omaha, read something like this. THE
glass armed toy soldiers who represent
the Gem city in the reckless rush for
the baseball pennant were fed to the
pigs yesterday by the cadaverous In
dian grave robbers from Omaha.
They stood around with gaping eyes
q han hot ,of1 trrht H.
basilisk-eyed cattle drivers from the
west ran bases till their tongues were
long with thirst Hickey had more
errors than Coins Financial School.
The Omaha hogs were bad enough-but
the home team couldn't have fallen out
of boat and hit the water
Joe Campbell of Washington really
was the Shakespeare of baseball. He
wrote classics, and / -obably was the
best story writer of the "Jem Mace told
the writer" school that ever happened.
He would have said "Rameses II told
the writer" if old Ram had been in the
sporting game. Campbell really was
wonder He was one Of the clevereSt
dramatic critics in the country
Shakespearean scholar, deep student
of stage history, Hebrew and Sanskrit
scholar, besides writing the baseball of
the century One evening Campbell
was sitting in his office in Washington,
and he was bemoaning because $50 he
said) the editors of his paper would not
permit him to write slang.
They hold me down to straight-away
English" he lamented. "If l try to be
a bit picturesque there is kick"
In his typewriter was a sheet of base
ball copy. The last sentence he had
written read his way: annie Rusie
made a Svengall pass in front of
Charley Reilly's lamps, and he carved
three hicks in the weather"

SEEKS A MATCH
WITH ]. BRITT
FRIENDS OF CYCLONE TH0MP-
SON OFFER SIDE BET
Should the Several Contemplated 90
Round Contests Fall Through,
fastener Will Accept Match
at Davenport, Iowa

Cyclone Thompson will go to Cata-
lima island Saturday with number of
friends for a two days fishing trip.
If twenty y-round bout can be ar
ranged with any good lightweight on
the coast for an August date Cyclone
will sign articles at once.
If he fails to to secure a match he
will leave for Chicago Monday even
ing, she has a good offer to meet
Kid Farmer at Davenport, Iowa, Au-
gust 2S.
From advices received from San
Francisco it now seems likely that a
20-round contest will be arranged be-
tween Joe Angel and Thompson, as the
former is anxious to fight here, and the
big crowd of sports who witnessed the
ten-round contest several weeks ago be-
tween the Montana Kid and Thompson,
are anxious to see the eastern man
hook up with a lightweight who goes
in hammer and tongs."
Angel is known here as an infighter
who never stops to do any dancing
around the ring, but instead one who
wades in taking what is coming to him
and handing out the sleep drops when
ever an opportunity presents itself.
Both Are "Infighters"
In Thompson, Angel would meet a
man after his own style of giving bat
tie. In short it would be turning two
Battling Nelson's loose and, say as
much as you can for the boys who
give exhibitions of footwork, it is the
Battling Nelson type of boxer who
brings the crowd to the pavilion and
keeps the fans standing up while the
mill is in progress.
Thompson has made many friends in
Los Angeles. He does little talking, but
when the gong rings he is always there
to give a good account of himself.
The Cyclone paid a visit to Neil's
camp yesterday and was greatly pleased
with Frankie's condition. Like Thomp-
son. Neil is fighter pure and simple,
and the boys naturally find in each
other a number of things to admire.
While refusing to say at this time what
he thought of Bakers chances, it was
evident from Thompsons conversation
that he prefers at all times to place a
bet on the aggressive man instead Of
the fellow who adopts defensive tactics.
When asked last night whether or not
he would meet Britt, Thompson said:
There is only one thing to prevent
such a match. / suppose Britt is after
chance. l have friends, however. who
would wager from $1,000 to $4,000 on my
chances in a twenty-round contest, and
if Britt can be induced to give me a
fight while he is waiting for Nelson to
come to time, nothing would suit me
better"

Coach Merrill of Occidental has
picked up another strong athlete Tor
the Highland football, baseball and
track squads in Edwin Gates OF AL
hambra high school. Gail Borden, cap
italist and athletic godfather of Occi-

tend to the hammer throwing and shot
putting and will take AL Merrills place
behind the bat on the baseball team.
Athletically, Occidental promises well

back and the new ones have some of
the spirit that won three champion
ships for the Highlanders against odds
last year.
AS Hodge will enter Stanford in the
fall and Spaulding will be out of the

ANOTHER PLAYER PASSES
Jake Beckley Is Dropped From the
Team He Helped Make
Famous

Men may come and men may go,
but Tennysons brook and Byron S
ocean alone go on forever. Hence it
is the time has come almost to the
passing of Jake Beckley.
Old Ginger Jake has had several
passings He passed from Pittsburg
years and years ago to New York
which dropped him soon. Cincinna Fl
reached for him. He made good first
sacker for the Reds for years and years
until he fell to ST. Louis in the war
days of 1902
Old Jake has been good man for
st. Louis, too. Never a clever hall
player, he has always been full of life,
energy and spirit.
A good mark to throw at and a good
man to hit-that is, until this year-he
has always been a faVorite with the
people. His work hard, hustle all the
time. Come on. Come on" may not
play much ball, but it makes a hit
with the spectators. But it seems that
he cannot go on forever. Jake is forty-
one years old.
He was born in Hannibal, Mo-, Au-
gust a. 1865. He has been playing bic
baseball-that is, in prominent leagues
for twenty-one years He became
Famous at Hannibal as hitter in 1884.
He played in the west in 1885. and
with the Whites of st. Louis i'm 1855.
Thence he went to Pittsburg, where
he stayed 70 1897.
Thence he went to New York for a
season, thence to Cincinnati for six
seasons and thence to st. Louis for
four. Now it is said that old Jake is
aging, not hitting. and becoming shy
of the fly ball. McCloskey is LOOKING
for new first baseman
He put Noonan in on July 4, and
GENT a fcr
fornia, whom he had in the fan and
spring to play the bag. 1t is also said
that he has made overtures to McAIeer
for Nordyke, of whom he thinks we'll
and who cannot do other than play
first base.
