Charley Streets Arm.

Critics all over the country are now
ranking Charley Street, the popular
catcher of the Washington club. as being
in a class with the great Johnny King
the clever backstop Of the Chicago Ma

catcher since the days OF the famous
Buck Ewing.

comes to throwing EN- out at second
base. and it's even doubtful If King
ranks with Street as an accurate throw
ing catcher. fer Charley always manages
to get the ball right down 10 the second
baseman and in Il position so that he
can touch his men with the least waste
of time. In other words. If the man is

Nick -Altrock of the Chicago Americans

Hahn is one of the silent. plodding kind,

the game. and Altrock is just the oppo-
site. but they must have something in
common to keep them together SO much.
Hahn. who is not college graduate,

newspapers rather slowly. and often asks
the gifted Mr. Aitrock TO explain certain
hard, problems to him. and AltrOck makes
good. whether he knows anything about
the subject or not.

John received when he wanted TO present
some of his wealth TO the Ohio church
