Mike Kelley's Wager.

When the Boston club was in Washing
ton last week Jim Mcclure. the manager
O. that chesty outfit. and be Cantiilon
of the local team got to :aik nS aoout Old
times and the many famous players with
whom both these veterans were at one
time or another acquainted
After speaking of the palmy days of
Cap Arson. FOgarty. Buck Ewing and
several others, Cantillon made some ref
erence to Mike Kelley. justly termed the
peer of all the spike-shoe boys past and
present.
Cantil!On referred to Keley's oleverness
in originating plays. and his luck in get
ting away with them. and during the
conversation Joe dwelt on that famous
second-base slide play of the once great
player. This sliding to second as origi-
mated with Kelley and worked success
fully only by him consisted in going into
the bag like man shot out of a cannon
and at the same instant making a pc
culiar wide swerve. that would throw
his body entirely out of reach of the eX-
peCtant second baseman. No one was
ever successful with this great slide but
Kelley, and. Joe CantiilOn was COM
mentlng this fact. Jim Mcclure broke
in with the following:
Yes. that fall-away slide of Mike S
wasN beaut. and no mistake. Yet he
pulled off a stunt in New York One day
when going down to second that l do not
think has ever got into print" said Nc
CURE, as he nodded to the writer. Il
happened this way" continued the Boston
manager: The Boston club and the New
YOrks were playing a series Ofgames to-
gether. and in the first game Mike stole
a couple of sacks off Buck Ewing. who
was catching that afternoon. At the no
tel that night Mike. as he usually did.
began to kid Ewing about his arm being
poor, and SO forth.
All right, shot back Buck; 4 will
ret you fifty dollars 10 ten spot that
if Danny Richardson is playing second
for us tomorrow you will not steal base
on me-.
The bet was cinched then and there -
continued Mcclure. and the next after
noon Mike, who got his base on balls. shot
the pitchers arm. Buck, who was all on
edge steadied himself. ard sent the ball
to Richardson, with the result that Danny
got the ball about two feet from the
ground, and was all bent ready to tag
Kelley. who was five feet away from the
bag. Danny. expecting that Buck would
attempt 10 get off his swerve play placed
himself in a position to block the trick.
when Kelley gave flying leap and COM
pletely cleared Richardson. and when he
landed he lit plumb on his back on the
bag.
TT was beautiful play" went on the
Boston manager. land as Kelley brought
the run in it was responsible for he de-

championship match at the New York
Racquet and Tennis Club Peter Latham,
the English professional champion, said
that Miles had not played his game. He
lacked the speed and accuracy that char
acterized his playing before he left Eng
land. but those who witnessed the con-
test say it was the speed and excellence
of Gould's racquet work that made Miles
appear somewhat SOW. and that the only
possible chance Of Miles winning against
Gould is for him to be in the best possible
condition and Gould to have an or day.
Even then. 1t is asserted. it would be no
sure thing for the Englishman.
The past few years have witnessed a
surprising advance in court tennis in this
country. Both Miles and Latham. before
leaving for England, admitted that Amer
leans are making rapid strides i'm the
game. Jay Could in discussing the snort
said:
In my opinion the six best American
amateurs are just AS good as the six best
English players. / visited a treat many
courts after my championship match at
the Queens Club. The courts AT New
York. Boston. Lakewood. Tuxedo Phiia-
delphia and Roslyn are better than the
English courts. excepting those of Mr..
Rose and Mr.. Garland. which are private
courts

Ralph Glaze and Jimmy Barrett.


Ralph Glaze and Jimmy Barrett.
L. Jimmy Barrett. the Boston outiielder,
was formerly a soldier. and is the only en-
listed man of the regulars who ever broke
INTO major league ba e ball OF course,
everyone is aware of the act that Dave
Altizer also served his country as SOL
der. but Davy was in the volunteer
branch of the army.
Jimmy is a bit given to yarning about
his army days and his experiences in
the field, where 'tis claimed that Barrett
delivered the goods in great shape. but
base ball players weary of any subject
not connected with base ball, and Bar
rett s ssor es are not always listened to
with the degree O. attention that Jimmy
seems to think they are entitled.

Jack Warmers Query.

Dave Altizer although clever. uptto-
date ball player. is. nevertheless, old
fashioned in some of his ways: Dave is
on, of those individuals whom no arga-
ment can change, when he gets 1t into
his head that his own views on the SUBJ
tect are really the proper ones. a.
One of Davy's striking traits is an Cd
lection TO banking his money. Davy be-
ca me- his own banker. but the business
has not been altogether what one mig at
call a glowing success. for only last VIM
ter he either was touched for S1.4O or
els, mislaid it while travelling out in
California: since then he has had to
stand for a lot of unmericifui KIDDING on
the part of his ba,!-playinS c0mrades.
When Davy was i'll down In Galveston
this spring ha was lying in bed one
morning when Shipke. Gehring ana JACK
Warner came into his room 10 ask no"
he was and to see If he want ed anything.
Davy asked Shipke to hand MIN an I'M
abridged dictionary which was lying on
the table. Gahrng beat Shipke to the
book. and when Altizer was given the
volume he began to rapidly turn the
pages over. as if he was looking for
some word.
After couple of minutes he peered up
at the trio of ball players. who were re-
garding him with puzzled expressions,
and exclaimed:
That's mighty funny. l hid a hVe-dol-
lar hill i'm this dictionary and now | cam
not find it,
Have You looked among the VS.

Arlie Latham.s ceiling.

sidered one of the top notche-s among
base ball PLAYERS. and who, when he was
a member CT the three times st. Louis
champions, led all the rest in base run

spirit that he always was; and Arlie
Latham used to be known as the FUNNIEST
man in base ball.
T; had been so long since Latham was
in Washington that he passed several
of his old friends without being recog-
nized until his presence attracted the at
tention of eagle-eyed Supt. Jim O'Day.

Billy Earle, known as the hynnotist
catcher, was a majo- league star when

famous bunch OF ball players who were
entitled to wear medals for their pro-
fciency in the great American game were

with the fact that he had managed to
partially hypnotic some OF the players,

Soon no member of the team would room
with him, and they gave as their reason
that his sleep walking annoyed them:
but the real reason was they were afraid
of being mesmerized.
About this time Cincinnati got big
German by the name of Schmidt to pitch,
and so eccentric was he that he was
nicknamed Crazy" Schmidt. They tried
Billy on Schmidt as a roommate. and
when the big German never made any
complaints about Earle. Buck Ewing one
morning asked Schmidt:
How is ii. Dutch. that Earle's walking
in his sleep never seems to annoy you?"
