Many Famous Players
Started as Pitchers
Star Ball Tossers Who Began Game
In Different Positions In Which
They Made Good.

Has the baseball fan ever stopped
to consider how many ups and downs
the present day stars experienced be-
for they found q position for which
they were actually fitted? This has
been the case particularly with men
who were pitchers and either lost
their cunning as slab artists or we're
not strong enough to keep up with the
rest of the crowd. One could name
probably half hundred men who are
stars at the present time who were
once pitchers or catcher&
Let lis start with Willie Keeler. It
may not be generally known that
Keeler began his career on the dia.
mOnd as pitcher. In those days he
played with amateur and semiprofes-
sional teams In Brooklyn and other
Long Island places. Even when Keel
or broke into fast company he started
as third baseman. New York had
him and could do nothing with him.
Then Brooklyn had crack at this
present.day star. But It was not until
he reached Baltimore that his real
value developed. He was placed In
right field, and from then until the
present day he ranged first in that
position.
Kid Gleason will be remembered as
pitcher. Then he came to New
York and developed into one OF the
best fielding second basemen In the
major league.
Callahan. who Is playing independ-
ent baseball in Chicago. was once a
great pitcher. There is lsbell. He
ranked high as o twirler until few
years ago Then he turned to iniield
work. and iis very valuable man at
either first OF second.
Remember how Cy Seymour used to
whip 'em over at the Polo grounds :?
But at his best he was erratic. Stilk
he was valuable as hitter, and when
he left New York he was placed In
the infield. AT present there are few
men who are his equal In fielding or
hitting.
Bresnahan began as pitcher. first
In Chicago and then In Baltimore. 70.
day he is very valuable man behind
the bat. Indeed. he is good In any
position when team Is in pinch.
Frank Chance, catcher, developed
into star first baseman. And 1t may
not be- generally known that Mike
Donlin broke into baseball as u pitch.
err He, came to st. Louis from Cali
fornia. e8ss 3sa
Then there is Bobby Wallace He
was the Cleyelands' greatest pitcher
In the early eos. lie was and IL yet
great infielder. Hal Chase, who has
no equal as first baseman. was a
pitcher for time.
Danny Hoffman was pitcher In
the Connecticut league. and SO was
Pat Dougherty.

LeA Field il Regarded
40 Harder Than Right
oSil Players Agree That Center Field
10 Easiest Spot In the
Garden.

while the Pittsburg Pirates were at
Hot Springs discussion was started
ae to which of the three outfleld po-
-uitious was hardest to play. Manager
Clark argued that the left fielder had
tho most difiicult garden, while OTIS
clymer thought the hardest work fell
t0Ithe right fielder, both agreeing that
the center position was at oil times
the easiest of the three. Along this
line. the following from the pen OF
Jack Ryder. the Cincinnati scribe, is
interesting:
i.tAmong outflelders the left station
isA generally rated as the most DIM
cult to play; that is. when the sun.
field is not taken into consideration.
The reason for this IL that left-handed
batters, when they hit to left at all,
drive out balls that are harder to
handle than any other variety sent TO
the gardens. When southpaw hit
ter cuts one to left. there Is a peculiar
tWist ON the ball which often, II 1t 10
hit hard, causes 1t to take a peculiar
dive or shoot. Such ball Is not only
dtficult to Judge accurately. but 1t
comes to the fielder dead and hard 10
hold. A left fielder must have good
pair OF hands to negotiate such
catches, a. tho ball has tendency
to break and twist out of the glove.
and must be srasped firmly.
s.L0w.line drives close to the left
foul fine, especially those hit by LETT
hand batter, are the hardest balls to
feld that are sent to any of the gar
dens. It is strange. but true. that q
yikht.hand batter hitting to right Held
does not impArt this peculiar twist
to the ball. and this makes 1t shade
easier to play right field than left.
Center field Ii the easiest Of the three
positions, for ball hit In that direc-
tion has been met fair and square
Nv the hat and sails out on u pretty
straight course, with no disconcerting
changes In It's direction. The middle
fielder has more ground to cover than
either of his companions, but his
catches are comparatively easy"
OF course where there are sun-fields.
TINT alters the argument altogether.
both left fields In st. Louis are noto-
riously hard to play on account OF the
fact that the sun blazes right down
into the fielder's eyes. Few fans have
much idea of the strain on man
who Is compelled to play Ike that day
after day, and due allowance should
hea made for him II his batting falls
on under the strain, "A, sun'fielder is

congregation OF hundreds Of thou
sands.
Russell has been considerably dis
turbed OF late over false and mislead.
ing accounts OF his teachings and his
plans which have appeared In many
newspapers.
Among other things, 1t was recent
ly announced that he was endeavoring
TO get control OF Dowies Zion City
and turn 1t into home for his fol.
lowers.
Nothing could be more untrue
he declares. Il have no desire 70
Zion City, and there have been no ne
gotiatons whatever in the matter"
1t has also been published that
Russell is "the no.hell peacher"-be
cause he teaches there Is no place OF
future fiery torment.
Pastor Russell declares that he does
nal torment, but holds that the "sheol"
of the Old Testament and the "hades"
of the New Testament is the state OF
death-that mankind, because of orig.
inal sin, is under a death sentence,
, which affects all mentally, morally
and physically, and eliminates in the
| tomb.
He holds that redemption was from
the tomb, that Christ died for humani
| ty's sins, and that as q result OF this
redemption all mankind Is ultimately
to be released from this state of death
and given instruction which will lead
to eternal life, II they are obedisnt to
such leading. in the Millennial age.
Nor does Pastor Russell doubt In
the least the existence of Satan,
though this has been alleged of him.
In sermon which he recently de-
livered on THE Overthrow OF Satan q
Empire" he makes his position on
this point very clear, saying:
we are aware that our Lords
words to Peter Get thee behind me,
Satan are made the basis for the
denial that there Is any personal devil
or subordinate demons. Our reply is
that although any man rAay become
an adversary cf God Ia SATAN. the
scriptures everywhere speak of the
prime rover in evil as the devil, the
satan. He is the great murderer. He
murdered our first parents by deceiv,
ing them and thus induced them to be
disobedient to their Creator"
! 1t was recently stated in several
newspapers that In divorce trial
which resulted In the legal separa
tion of Pastor Russell and his wife
about year ago, he had said, his
love was like that of u jellyflsh, In
that 1t went out to any spirit which
responded"
This statement distressed Russell
considerably, inasmuch as the truth
was that the remark In question was
attributed to Russell by witness dur
ing the trial, and was emphaticall,
denied on the stand by him.
1t has been said of Russell thai
money pours into his Office Golfers
like water" and that his sect is i'm
mensely wealthy. This is not the
case.
I'VE have sufficient he says, "ant
we never take up collections. but W,
have no enormous wealth. We care
only for enough to enable us to spread
our gospel to humanity wherever It I,
needed"
