FIRST KING OF THE GAME.
Death of Sweasey, the Once Great
Second Baseman.

The death of Mr.. Charles ]. Sweasey.
the old-time king of second basemen. re-
calls to the .'old boys his wonderful play
ing at the second base. when he filled
that place for the famous Red Stockings
of Cincinnati and the Olympics of this
city.
He played two years on that wonderful
Cincinnati team and it was his great
work at that sack which caused his name
in those days to be household word from
one end of the land to the other. After
defeating every team in the east and mid
die west, the club went out to the Pacific
coast and defeated every team in that
section.
When the old Red Stockings went to
pieces, half being secured by Boston and
half by the Olympics of this city, Swea-
sey, Leonard. Waterman. Brainard and
Allison came here and joined the Oiympics
under the management of Uncle Nick
Young. and Sweascy played here two
seasons and kept up his wonderful record
as a player in every department Of the
game.
He was the first king of the game, and
his successors have never surpassed him
in general pay. He made a host of
friends here and there are many who re-
member the mans great work.

RECENT DEVELOPMENT OF
LEFT-HANDED PITCHERS

mad four strikes In those days.
Skillful Matte Kilroy.
kilroy was tower of strength for the old
Baltimore team, and in addition to being a
great puzzler was grand FEEDER and one
Of the most skilled men that ever lived
In holding the runner close to first base.
In fact. it was almost impossible to steal
second on him, so carefully did he watch
the sack and SO cleverly did he shoot the
ball over. He was finally SO much feared
that the opposing players would wait on
the bases to be batted around. OF course,
the bark rules were more liberal in those
days, so a lefthander had a bigger al
vantage than at the present time.
Then Theodore The Breitenste:n be-
gan to attract attention at st. Louis. he
proved to be the real goods" and pitched
for nearly a decade at Cincinnati after
being sold by st. Louis. Later. he drifted
into the Southern League, pitching first
for Memphis and later for New Orleans.
Last year he was used more in the out
field than In the box, but this year he ex-
poets to be on the rubber again. His rec
ord for service is better than that of any
other southpaw, few of whom last as .Ong
as do the righthanders.
Others who acquired more Or less lame
pack In the ninetieS were Ed Cushman
Wee Willie" McGill, Willie Demmaon,
Pete Bowling. Jerry Nops, ESper and
klobedanz. Then there were Noodles
Hahn. Cy Seymour. Eddie Doheny, Doc
Newton and Whey Piatt, who bring the
game up to the present century
Pressnt-Day Southpaws.
Nowadays every club has it's quota OF
left-handed pitchers. which consists of
anywhere from one to three. The Ameri-
can League has the greater number and
the more famous. In fact. only two
American League pennants have been won
without the assistance Of southpaws. Chi
cago got along with only righthanders in
1900. but in the following year Wiley
Piatt helped out a little, but not much.
The Athletics had Plank and Waddell in
1907. but In 1906 Boston took down the
pennant by means of five righthanders-
Young. Dineen, Hughes, Winters and Glib
son. Jesse Tannehill was added in 1904
and led the Boston pitchers In victories
that year.
Plank and Wadde!l were on the Job in
Philadelphia the next year. while in 1906
Doc White and Nick Altrock delivered
the goods for Chicago. Last season, the
Detroit champions had a pair OF left
handlers in killian ard Siever.
Take the National League roster Of
champions since 1909. In that year Brook
lyn won out without a southpaw of note.
The next year Pittsburg took off the
championship with Tannehill helping,
while in the year following the Pirates
had two strong southpaws. Tannehill and
Doheny. Tannehil then went to the Amer
lean League. but Pittsburg won again.

More left-handed pitchers have been de.
veloped in the last seven or eight year:
than during all the seasons prior to the
last decade.
The base ball patron of today thinks
that left-handed pitchers have always
been as prominently identified with the
game as at present, but they have not
In fact, during the early SOS they were
looked upon almost as freaks.
Lee Richmond of Brown University was
really the first southpaw to attain prom
inence. He had the goods and his sue
cess with the Worcester team caused
other managers to try to dig up on
side throwers. Their efforts, however
were unavailing. as 1t was not until sew
erai seasons later that Lady BALDWIN,
"Toad" Ramsay and Mat Kilroy sprane
into prominence on the diamond.
Richmond was particularly enective

longer than one season.
But the three real stars after Rich
mond were Baldwin, Ramsay and kii-
roy. Many think that Ramsay was the
greatest soUthpaw that ever pitched. He
was almost unhittable. but had one great
fault-he could not field his position. His
first haseman, knowing that his control
was good, often begged him to pitch the
ball instead of throwing it to first, but
Ramsay failed to do SO, and was as likely
to throw the ball ten feet over the first
sacker's head as he was to get it any
where near where he could catch IL.
He was the star pitcher for the Louis

I have had a great many complaints of whisky being sold on various beats. I see no reason why you gentlemen cannot catch them, or at least report same, where you have suspicion of anything being done, so that I may have men detailed on this work to look after same.

WORKING IN A BIG TUNNEL

Baltimore, March 7.-Thirteen railroad laborers were overcome by gas in the Pennsylvania tunnel here today Four died and the others were all so badly af- fiicted that they were taken to hospital. Three of the dead are negroes, the other is a white man.
 The men were at work grading in the tunnel which extends from North avenue just west of Union station to Pennsyl- vania avenue. It formed one of the series of tunnels under the city.
 The dead are: Charles Roseleaf, white, assistant foreman; Charles Williams, Will liam Newfield and Edward Johnson.

Some of these latter crawled distance of three blocks to an opening and gave the alarm. rescuing party with an engine and one car was sent into the tunnel and the dead bodies and the remaining workmen were taken to the Union station. Two. who were in a serious condition. and seven others less affected, were sent to the city hospital, where it was said later that all would re- cover.
 Discussing the accident, Joseph B.

All were overcome at the same moment and Tall dropped at the same time Such an accident he added, had never before occurred in their tunnels. He could ad- vance no theory for the presence of the gas
