Washington Boy a Hitter.

Right Fielder Beall of the Los Angeles
Coast League team made a batting rec
ord in the series with Sacramento that
probably will stand for many a day as a
record performance. When he first Joined
the team his hitting was nothing above
the ordinary, but as soon as he grew ac-
customed to the changed conditions after
his quick Journey from the atmosphere in
which the Chicago White Sox have been
playing. he began to reach the ball. In
the last eight games Beall made a total
of eighteen hits out of thirty-one appear
ances at the plate. OF these hits six
were doubles and two were home runs.
His batting average to date. therefore,
stands at the startling figure OF .5S1 for
the eight contests. Those who watched
the increase in hitting of the eastern mar
vel closely, say he is the greatest hit
ting phenomenon who has ever been seen
on the western slopes. Cravath's hitting
was a seasons wonder, but impartial fans
believe this tall, quiet Chicagoan is bet
ter hitter than the sensational outfielder
who displaced Beall among Comiskey's s
braves. In fielding. doubtful error spoil

Three Remarkable Plays.

Harry Lord Of the Red Sox Is a rat
tling good third baseman. but it is doubt
full il he ever threw out three men at
the plate on one batted ball, as Jimmy
Collins. one OF his great predecessors, once
did. This happened in Boston in 1909.
and three Cleveland players were the vic
Tins. Bradley was on second and Jack
Mccarthy on first, when Dutch Goch-
nauer sent a short single to left. Collins
got the ball and shot 1t to Catcher Far
rell yard ahead of Bradley. Mccarthy
was scooting toward third at this juno
ture, and Farrell threw back to Collins
to get Jack. The toss was poor and Nc
Carthy tried to score. Jimmy proved a
good retriever. He chased the ball to
left, recovered it, and spun 1t home in
time to get Mccarthy. Gochnauer. who
had been having a nap on second all this
time, now started for third, and again
Farrell's throw was poor. The coacher
at third took the long chance and waved
the "go home signal to Gocil. Johnny
kept on. If going at the top speed he used
to travel can be called keeping on"
MAKE it three. Jimmy" yelled the
crowd, and Collins did. He found the
ball somewhere out in left field, and by
a long and accurate throw to Farrell re-
tired the third and last Cleveland run

over, looked a good deal like a page of

THE BASE BALL NIT.
How Arthur Irwin's Broken Fingers
Led to a Great Invention.

1t was in 1883 that Arthur Irwin, play
ing shortstop for Providence, broke the
third and fourth fingers Of his left hand
and revolutionized the fielding game
writes Will Irwin in Golfers. He still
shows a little finger bent in almost at
right angles. and he says as he shows 1t:
"That did it,
Then a club was a team, not two or
three teams. They entered the struggle
with ten or, at the most. eleven men
If there were two pitchers, the one not
in the box served as an outfelder. 4
man took a day of only for serious cause
So Irwin, star infielder. had to devise
some way of beating his injuries. He con-
suited a glover. They took a buckskin
padded it, made fastening at the back,
and sewed the third and fourth fingers
together to make room for bandages. The
crowd, Irwin knew, would forgive him
because of his mangled condition. From
the first time he took grounder with
that glove he noticed that he could now
meet the ball solidly. He did not have
to lease OFF, and he could get away his
throw quicker than any other man on the
infield. John Montgomery Ward of the
umental moral courage he got glove like
Irwin's and used 1t In a game. No one
hooted him for his cowardice. Within two
weeks after Irwin and Ward first took
their gloves around the circuit. a sporting
goods firm had orders from professionals
for a hundred like them. By the next
season nearly every professional was
wearing one Of the Irwin gloves" Denny.
the rugged old third baseman, was a con-
spicuous exception. To the end Of his
days in base ball he played barehanded.
In one respect this improvement came
in the very nick Of time. In 1884,, after
long years OF experiment and argument,
the pitchers had got their liberty. They
could now throw the ball overland and
free-armed. Having a box to get run
ming start and a shorter line to the plat
than at. present, they developed unpre-
cedented speed. 1t needed more catchers
than pitchers for a first class team, SO
hard was this delivery on hands. The
took up the new tangled glove
with enthusiasm. Manufacturers made
them larger and larger; but still the
fingered glove did not quite serve the pur-
pose. In 1855. Jim White, third baseman
sewed a leather plate on the face of his
infielder's glove and got therby good re-
suits with hot liners. Immediately the
big catchers mitt. claimed by two or
three different inventors, became fea-
ture of the game.

Change Of Date Benefits Cornell.

ITHACA. May 22.-Charles E. Court
ney, coach OF the Cornell crews, smiled
all over when he read the announcement
that the Poughkeepsie race had been
postponed to July .. Instead Of causing
any Interference, the ''old man" thinks
the change is Cornell's salvation. Its
great for u.s." he said, land 1t will help
us out a great deal. The backward
spring and the uncertain weather con-
ditions that have prevailed have seri-
ously hindered the daily practice. For
several weeks the boys rowed on the
inlet every day. but they accomplished
practically nothing because Of the cold
weather.
You can say that l am much pleased
that the race is postponed. 1t will not
interfere with our plans in the least, and
it will help our development. We will
go on just as before. I presume we will
go to Poughkeepsie about the same time
as last year and have one more week
to row there. 1t is the last practice at
Poughkeepsie that counts for Cornell
