his rest was disturbed on account ef
the intensity of the pain. The least

describe the misery he endured at
such times. Hearing of Doan's Kid

they went directly to the cause of his

CALL TT THE BUTTERFLY"
CIeveland's ssDusty" Rhoades Lates
FIoater Makes Hit at st. Louis.

CIeveland's DUSTY" Rhoades --latest
FIoater Makes Hit at st. Louis.
They have gone crazy over DUSTY"
Rhoades' slow ball in st. Louis. Here
is what he Post-Dispatch says:
Rhoades never had anything like it
before.
Speed and curves had hitherto been
his stock in trade. SO that when he
began in the first inning to unship this
new thing In the shape of pitched
ball he had the Browns gasping.
It was an eerie sort Of a fooler. 1t
was thrown with all the gyrations on
the part Of the pitcher that attended
the delivery of a fast curve. But In
stead of showing speed it drifted up to
the batsman like puff ball on sum-
mer zephyr, and with the same ap-
parent uncertainty as to ultimate di-
rection, only to drop peacefully into
the aatcher's mitt at the end, leaving
the batter puzzled and discounted.
Sometimes the batsmen let it go
scornfully by, only to have a strike
called on him; sometimes he struck at
it with a manslaughtering v1c1ousness,
only to miss it entirely or to pop up
a puny fly. AS the game progressed
each batter became more confident that
his next time UP he would murder that
miserable little toss; but Pitcher
Rhoades only fed the Browns more
and more of the same sort.
The Times says: dusty" Rhoades'
slow ball was wonder. It simply
fioated over the plate like a butterfly
and when the batter swiped at it. 1t
seemed to duck away also like a but
terfy. We would suggest that MI.
Rhoades call it the butterfly ball"

made on the judgment of the sporting
editor of the Globe but we will merely
await the outcome Of the Joplin series
at the end of the week and then see
how the Joplin Globe man expresses his
views on the Topeka team. The fol-
lowing is from the Globe: The results
OF the games in the first series were
about as predicted by dopsters arouad
the circuit. Topeka and Webb City
furnished the big surprise. The Cooley
Crows were touted as the strongest ag-
gregation in the league, and when 1t
was announced that Emory Olson
would be returned, all Of the Western
association managers emitted a groan
of despair. The Webbfeet, crippled as
they were by the absence Of the pre-
mier catcher of the league, Harry
Cheek, outplayed the Topekans at ev-
cry point in the first two games and
won with comparative ease They
f1elded faster, hit at more opportune
times and exhibited an amazing
amount of life and ginger on the bases.
Immediately after the opening game
with Topeka, the Milton Wright stock
jumped about so per cent and sport
writers around the Western association
circuit began to apologize to Milton for
leaving his aggregation out when reck-
oning the pennant race.
Tommy Hawkins, the Joplin catcher
is on the hospital list with q wrenched
knee and will be out Of the game for
several days. In the meantime it is up

The Veteran Pitcher Is Keeping the
Red Sox Well Up.
Boston, May Soy" Young re-
fuses to be denied this spring and is
apparently going after the honors
carried off by Bill Donovan last sea-
son. While Boston has fast team
of youngsters. it is Young's pitching
that has kept the Red Sox so well
up in the race.
Next to the old veteran comes
doc" Newton of the Yankees with
three victories. Eleven others have
won one or two games without suffer-
ing a reverse while of those that have
lost a game, Addie Joss of the Maps
leads with four victories and only one
defeat. "Rube" Vickers of the
Athletics has won four and lost two,
his record being better than that of
the Philadelphia veterans. Still,
vickers is no youngster in point Of
years. Young also leads in strike
outs and small hit games, having
famed twenty-one batters and pitch
ed three four-hit games and one five
hit game.
Morgan Of Boston has been the
widest, while Mullin Of Detroit has
been hit the hardest. Waddell has
pitched the only one-hit game, while
Chesbro of New York and Graham
of ST. Louis have pitched two-hit
games There have been three three
hit games. two of which were regis
tered against Cleveland, Owen and
Mullen being the pitchers.

DRAFT RULE OFTEN UNJUST.
Narrowing OF Paddy Livingston in
indianapolis an illustration.

Cleveland, May 5.-The star catcher
of the American association last wear
was Paddy Livingston, the Cleveland
boy who does most of the backstoppine
for Indianapolis, yet Livingston re-
manned with the Hoosiers unmolested
by draft or purchase.
His case is an example of how un-
justly the new draft rule can work in
regard to the players at times. With
out any doubt Livingston was the best
receiver In the association. He really
belongs to the big leagues and he.
wanted to come back to one of the
major organizations.
It was not the fault Of the big
league magnates that he Is still in In
dianapolis. for at least three OF them
made Owner watkins Of Indianapolis
offers for the release Of his catcher
last season. watkins, however, turned
a deaf ear to all the bids and said he
would not sell.
