1t Is Said He Made Longest Hit on
Record.


The death Of .'Buck" Ewing, in Gin
cinnati, provoked the following from
the pen of the New York kilograms
baseball man:
mo ball player lived who knew
more about the inside of baseball than
Ewing. No catcher ever lived who was
his equal in throwing to bases when
Ewing was in his prime. He didn't
throw the ball. He simply handed it
to the baseman, with a snap which
many catcher has tried and none
has equaled quite in Ewing's way.
"Once when Tom Lotus was man
ager Of a National league club, the
owners of the club asked him why his
players did not try to steal more
bases when they played against the
Giants. Steal bases said Lotus, in
establishment, what's the use? If
you'd give them two rods handicap for
a start, the second baseman would be
waiting for them before they were
within twenty feet of the base. You
could rob a bank easier than you can
steal a base on this man Ewing
HE was one of the very few right
hand batters who could deliberately
place a hit in right field, no matter
what the pitcher served to him. If
there were men on bases it was almost
impossible to prevent Ewing from
pushing them around by placing the
ball to the right side of the diamond.
ut Is q matter of baseball history
ever recorded. It was in the season of
1889, when Cleveland was a prominent
factor in the National league. The
Giants were fighting desperately for
the champ onship. There were men on
bases when Ewing came to bat. Cleve-
lands left-field fence was so far away
from home plate that no one ever had
batted the ball over it, and no one ex
pected that a hit ever would go over
it. Darby O'Brien. long since dead,
was pitching for Cleveland. He tried
to fool Ewing with low curve on
the outside corner Of the plate.
Buck swung with all his weight
on the ball, and When it cleared the
top board of that far-away left-held
fence by so many feet that there was
enough daylight to have prolonged
the afternoon for another hour or so,
the crowd, in spite Of its craftsmanship
stood up and roared.
1.-THE ball was found in the garden
of a Cleveland millionaire hundreds
Of feet away from the fence. It had
crossed one lawn, rolled through an
other and stopped on a third because
something harder than the ball hap
pened to be in the way The hit was
measured at the time. The figures are
in existence some where to this day.
The writer has forgotten thems but
there is little doubt that It was the
longest hit ever made in the history of
professional baseball. Also, New York
won because of the hit"

TEAM FOR A CUBAN TRIP.
Aggregation Of Ball TOssers Being
Gathered Together.

A&@1AAOAC TX OAAACA
st. Louis. Mo, Oct. 27.-There will
be another invasion Of Cuba by q team
from the United States during the
coming winter, and at least one St.
Louis player is pretty sure to be on
the team. That is Abstein, who An
ished out with the Pittsburg National
league club this season. Abstefn has
the Cuban tour proposition, and he is
willing to go. The promoters also
want another player or two from here,
If they can get them, and one Of these
is said to be arthur Norman, who
made such q brilliant record with the
Chicago Cubs in the worlds cham
pionship series. They will hardly get
Hoffman. however, as the latter in
tends to spend the winter working in
st. Louis, so as not to fnjure his pros
poets next season in the National
league race. Schipke is, on the other
hand, one of those wanted who will
probably make the trip.
An invasion of Cuba has grown to
be practically an annual affair, and If
one team does not go another does
The Cuban baseball promoters first
wanted the Cubs to make the trip. and
then were anxious to secure the White
Sox. Neither team could afford to
make a winter trip, for fear of hurting
their work during the pennant races
next season, so the offer to them was
turned down. Now a team is to be
built up from other teams in the coun-
try, and the Cubans will, as usual, get
a chance to see the United States nine
in action against the native ones. The
Cuban teams play a dashing game in
the field, but when it comes to batting
they are weak, and the pitchers from
this country find but little trouble in
holding them down. Players who are
going to Cuba this season do not ex-
pect as prosperous a season as IN the
past, owing to the recent revolution

trip will probably be delayed some in

MY Dear Friend: Just line to let
you know we are working hard get
ting ready for the bout with Sam Ber-
ger. We realize we are going against
a big, clever fellow who can punch
some; still we are confident of win
ming, as Kaufman is there with the
punch.
Should Kaufman win It will place
him dangerously near the summit. and
as he is only 20 years of age and com
ing all the time. he has a royal
chance to reach the top. He will be
in condition to fight every inch Of the
way. and II Berger don't put him away
early in the game we will grab the
long end Of the purse. Big Jen re-
mains silent, but he may start again.
Remember me to Bob O'Brien.

best wishes, I remain. yours truly,

THIRTY THIRD REPORT ISSUED
Railroad Commission Makes Many

Railroad Commission Makes Many
recommendations.
The Railroad Com mission has just
issued its thirty third annual report,
which deals with the work of the past
year and likewise contains a number of
important recommendation with re-
gard to needed legislation. Among
other things the Commission strongly
urges some uniform measure for the
arbitration of railway tax returns.
A comparatively new feature of the
report is the recommendation that the
commission lie given authority to re-
quire the railroads of this state to run
extra passenger trains whenever the
regular trains are ont of SEIZED ule time,
as is now so frequently the case, to the
annoyance of the local patrons IN
many sections of the state.
The delays are more often due to
waiting fer through sleeping cars.
Among other recommendations are
tt following:
"To require companies to equip
freight train cats with end platforms
and doors for the better protection of
train crews; to require companies to
put in sidetrscks wherever they are
needed; to authorize the bringing Of
suit to recover penalty for the viola
tion of rules and orders in the
county where such violations are
committed, instead of at the home flee
of the offending company.
'The commission asks the right to in
stliute mandamus suit against rail
roads for failure to comply with it's or
ders, as in this way presidents could
be established and relief in similar
cases more promptly given"
