 Tom" Tuckey, who was one of the pitchers of the Boston baseball team of the National league, has fin- ished his seasons work with the Boston team and has returned to his home here. Tuckey has been resery- ed by the management of the Boston team for next season and will report for practice in the spring. He appears to be in fine physical condition and says he never felt better. For few weeks after joining the Boston team he was troubled with ulcerated teeth and suffered so much pain from them that he was unable to pitch in as many games as he would have had it not been for his teeth. He had a number of them extracted after which he recovered rapidly. HIS pitching arm was never stronger than it has been all season, he said, and he hopes to make an even better showing next season than he did in the season that has just closed. Tuck ey was kept busy shaking hands and receiving the congratulations of his friends yesterday He has many loy- al friends here, all of whom have been greatly interested in the good work that he has been doing in both the state and National leagues dur ing the season.
