Jay Andrews had gone there to man
age the team in the Western asso-
citation. He didn't have much to
start on, but thought he could develop
team nevertheless. One of the first
steps he took was to schedule q prac-
tice game with the high school kids.
His men were held to less than half
a dozen hits by a slender youngster
who looked as though he would not
last more than two innings.
Andrews made excuses for his team
and arranged another game. BY that
time his men were supposed to have
rounded into form. Well, that time
they did not do so we'll with the boy
pitcher, and IA Of them were retired
, on strikes.
It was Joe Wood that had toyed
with the leaguers, and he was
promptly signed to play with Hutch
inson. During the season he twirled
with great success and he showed his
value by playing third base when not
pitching.
Kansas City snatched him up and
he made so good in the American as
sociation that before he finished up
the season last year he was touted
by a Boston scout and purchased by
John 1. Taylor. He was flzzle in
the American league last fall It b
said that his sudden rise turned his
head, but it would seem as though
he had at last come to his senses and
has brilliant future.
His best ball Is fast-breaking out
drop that is almost impossible to hit
safely. He has always been, strike
out pitcher and those who have seen
him at his best predict he will be one
of the best in the~league. r 4

FEW AMERICAN ASSOCIATION
MEN READY FOR Bic. LEAGUES
90 Says an Export In Talking OF MI
nor "Phenoms" In Glow Com
pany This Summer.

There are not great many ball
players in the American association
who could go up to the major leagues
this fall and stick in either Of the big
circuits without any difficulty, de-
clares one expert. There are a mum
Der of promising players in this com
pany who might make good If things
broke for them, but there are only a
few who look real heavy.
To-day Arthur Kruger Of Columbus
is by far the best all around fly
chaser" in the circuit. His fielding
has always been astonishing, but prior
to this season his batting was never
strong. He certainly is clouting EN-
now, and running bases like a scared
rabbit.
! Orville Woodruff of Louisville is the
smartest bali player in the league
and a grand in or outflelder. but only
fair with the stick. II no, could hit
1850 up above, he would make swell
man for any team in the land. ~
Young Ole Olson Of Louisville is the
most promising inflelder. in the A. A..
but it ts doubtful II he has had enough
experience to make him good invest
ment. Another year Of polish and he
will be q glittering star.
There are about i've twirlers who
would be promoted without much
chance Of failure. Olmstead Of Mime.

Tom Dougherty and Cheney Of Indi.
annapolis look like the best Of this
years. crop.
There is no reason In the world why
McGlynn shouldn't stick. He wasn't a
whirlwind with st. Louis last year, but
gaze at the relics that he had as help
ers. He would be wonder with teams
like Detroit. Pittsburg, New York or
the Cubs. Dougherty has. been getting
better every year and is now high.
class HEAVIER. He is a nice hitter and
q clever player on the side. Olmstead
looks might good. So do Hall and
Cheney.
Link Of Columbus, selby of Louis.
Vile and Karl Robinson Of Toledo are
promising. but would be of more value
If they were allowed to stay here an.
other season. Link, however, looks
finished right now. and is certainly
worth a bit of any magnate's money.
Gill Of Minneapolis is neat first
sacker, but does not appear to be as
able as Jerry Freeman, Odwell or
Carr. The probability is that whole
lot Of men will be drafted or pur-
chased. and some Of them may do, but
outside Of Kruger there are not many
who could take away a good major
leaguer's Job.

VeteRan Pitcher Still Good.

'"The Grand Old Man Of Baseball"
IN q title that seems to At Theodore
Breitenstein, except In one thing. aud
1t Is that he is not an old man.
"Breit," as he is affectionately called
by those who know him best, Is not
yet 80, and he certainly should not be
placed ON the old man list.
Breitenstein began playing ball in
1891 with the club at Grand Rapids.
He was there just two months and
then st. Louis came along and took
him away. That was August 3, 1891.
For the rest of the 1891 season and
during 1892. 1893, 1894, 1895 and 1895
he pitched for St. Louis. Then came
that offer for his services and the title
Of $4,000 beauty"
Breitenstein went to the Reds and
remained with them for four years.
He was then sent back to st. Louis.
but in 1901, when all the clubs in the
league cut down to 16 men, he was
let out.
From St. Louis he went to st. Paul,
where he played in the outheld and
pitched. But he quit the club and
went back to st. Louis. where he had
business interests. He was there
when Charley Frank, then manager Of
the Memphis club. visited him and
made him an offer. a....

JOE WOOD YOUNGEST PLAYER
IN THE GREATEST LEAGUES
Attracted Attention az Player When
Mere Lad, Beating a Professional
Team In 1907.

Joe Wood, the boy wonder of the
Boston Red Sox pitching staff, is 20
years old.
He has not set the league af1re with
his twirling. but he has obtained
some prominence through his ability
to set down opposing batsmen on
strikes. In q game at Cleveland one
week ago he performed the final four
innings of a contest and in that brief
period he famed ten of the Maps,
only to show his wildness at Detroit.
The manner in which he first at.
tracted attention Is interesting in that
he made good against professional
leaguers before he had left high
school.
It was in the spring Of 1907 that he
forced several old-timers to sit up and
take notice while serving for the prep
school team in Hutchinson, Kan.

TOO SMALL FOR U. S. ARMY,
so TOMMY PLAYS BASEBALL.
Mcmillan Of Brooklyn, Five Feet Three
Inches In Height Discovered Two
Years Ago, 10 In limelIoht.

There is little chap in Brooklyn,
N. Y. playing baseball. In height he
measures five feet three and frac-
ton inches. He's Just too small to
get into the United States army or
navy. But he can play baseball and
he does.
This little fellow is Tommy McMil-
Ian, native Of Jacksonville, Fla, where
Charlie Ebbets Of the Brooklyn team
discovered him in 1907. and then kept
him under cover for that season. Eb-
bets brought Mcmillan to Brooklyn
last year, but the midget had no real
chance to make good. Even this year
he didn't have the real chance, as he
WAS kept out of the lineup during the
early part Of the season.
But things commenced to break his
way finally, and now to-day you see
Mcmillan. the midget shortstop. as the
sensation Of the whole National league
circuit. He doesn't hit the ball any
too hard. In fact, his average is just
at the. 200 mark right now, but he can
field. He makes errors, and lot of
them, and then makes some more.
But for every error that he makes he
atones by a wonderful stop or throw,
and the crowd forgets his errors and
cheers Tommy.
Even II his errors lose for Brook
Ign the crowd still has the glad hand
for Mcmillan, for they know he is
trying all the time. Mcmillan is about
the neatest fielding in1lelder that has
been seen around New York for a
long time Even such experts as Hans
Wagner, Joe Tinker Of the Cubs, Hans
Lobert Of Cincinnati and AL Bridwell
Of the Giants admit that the little
midget Of Brooklyn has something in
the fielding end Of the game that
keeps them all busy.
And at the rate the youngster Is 60
Ing right now he will have all the
veterans at the left side Of the dia-
moud faded" to a finish before the
season is ovtr.
