 One of the best pitching feats ever saw performed was by Rube Waddel. ' satcher aIn 1888 | was playing with i dell was, think with Grand Rapids, Mich.

The D. 2; and and A. c; club cot faH GnaHrie Hastings iisS for them. and we fought the game to an e:even-inning tie. 3 to 3; Jones pitched the second game for D. c. and A. C., and Waddell was in the box for us It also was lie, 2 to 2. Seever went in the third day for the other fellows, and Waddell for us. We fought 1t out until the eleven h inning, when Waddell won the game for Homestead on the catcher's error. He dropped the third strike. and Waddell sprinted for baseman. and Waddell beat the ball 70 the plate The score was 8 to 2, In those three games Waddell struck out sixty-three men. an average Of twenty strong as when he went into the bLx he first day. l caught all three games. and 1t was as grand pitching as l ever saw"
 Talk about superstitious ball play ers," said Billy Phyle at flaming bee, but old Tacks Parrott who was with San Antonio last season, is the limit; He is a crank on batting, and can tell you his ba ting average any time in the season, or, for that matter, any time in a game. He carries little piece of game at bat he figures out his aver age on the bench. One day Mike ke:lJ batted 1000. He was up four times hit to home run. Parrott inquired of Kelly what he ate for dinner, and kel- ly told him ham and eggs After the game we lost Parrott He turned up der his arm and two baske 8 of eggs. He wouldn't eat anything for a weeH but ham and eggs. F
