lucky Double Play by Clymer Hurts
CIeveland's Chances.

Otis Clymer of the Washington club
says: Il suppose if L had been regu-
lar second beseman and in first-class
condition when we played that last Sc
r1es with Cleveland, the Maps might
have won the pennant. You know Joe
put me on second base at the start of
each game. Each inning when we
would come in from the bench, Joe
Would give me a glare and yell well,
you haven't blown up yet so you can
try it one more inning But about the
sixth or seventh inning each game he
took me out, saying: I'm not going to
take any more chances on you. You
are liable to chuck this game any
time
But in the fifth inning of the Sec
ond game, with ,Chech and Witherup
pitching, neither of us had made a run.
Birmingham came up for Cleveland
He singled to center and Perring past
ed one to short left for a base. Chech
tried to sacrifice and struck out. That
brought IN Goode with only ont out.
The youngster had famed twice al
ready, but Joe told Witherup to pass
him, and he did. filling the bases, so as
to get at Bradley Now, here is where
| came in. Bradley, of course, is a
lefttleld hitter, as everyone knows We
had figured it out that he might hit to
Mcbride If so. I was to lose no time
III ZtLLllIS over 10 SHtOIlQ base, SO as 10
try for a double play. But my legs
were none too good, so l played close
to the sack 50 I would not have far to
go to head GoOde off. Had second base
been my regular position or had my
legs been right, I suppose I would have
played where a second baseman gener-
ally does. But this time l was only
about 10 feet from second and Bradley
hit the ball on q line right into my
hands. Ordinarily it would have been
good for two or three bases and would
have cleaned up the bags. AS it was,
l had cinch making a double play.
cleveland got one run in the next
and we got one in the seventh, and then
Chech blew up i'm the ninth and we
won out easily. But had Bradley's hit
ever got away the Maps would not
have played the game they did in the
ninth and we would have been beaten I
They could have afforded to let us
have a couple Of runs in the ninth and
frightened up in time to have beaten u.s. |
So you see there sure is such a thing |
as luck in baseball"

SOME DoN'Ts FOR sowLERs.
Look These Over and See if Any APP
ply to Your Game.

Don't step or slide over the foul line
even though no one is looking.
Don't swear when you miss an easy
spare or even a strike. You may get
it the next time.
Don't allow your head to grow too
big for your hat should you be lucky
enough to make record string.
Don't find fault with the pinboys,
even though the pins refuse to fall.
It's not their fault
Don't try to jolly your opponent in
match game. he might do the same
to you. Besides, it's bad manners.
Don't get mad when your captain
has another man roll in your place
when you are hitting them poor. Re
member that he has the interests of
the team at heart.
Don't follow your average too close
~, you will never get anything that
way. Instead watch and see where
you are rolling the ball. That's the
only way to fatten your average.
Don't try to initiate another bowler
You may be just as funny looking
yourself. Who knows?
Don't try to roll duck. candle and
bottle pins at the same time, you
can only be good at one or the other
Don't roll too much as you are liza
Bile to go stale, and no stale roller is
wanted on any team.
Don't roll unless you have rubber
shoes. for you can slide better.
Don't smoke and bowl at the same
time, for the smoke is liable to get in
your eyes and thus throw your arm
out.
Don't go inside the benches during
a match game unless you are in the
lineup. You are only keeping some
man out of his place who has more
right there than you have.
Don't kick and complain of the poor
condition Of the alleys just because
you make a low score. Just remem-
Der that others can make a high score
on the same alleys.
Don't lob the ball. the owners of
the alleys don't like it, and the alleys
won't stand It.
Don't complain of lame foot, of
sore finger. of sore face, of tooth
achS, or any other achesor pain when
YOU are unable to mak8a good score.
Remember that they have all been
given before you knew how to bowl.
Try something new.
Don't forget to read these twice.

LEADERS AT DUCK TO DECIDE TIE.
Westerly Team Rolls Here--Kentucky Officials Prevent
ShreckHart Fisht-Duckpin League Averages

Tonight at the Rose alleys Westerly
Team No. 1 and Norwich Team No. >,
captained by Julian Harris, will settle
the question as to which is to hold the
lead in the duckpin league by playing
OIL their match postponed from last
Monday night. Both are now tied for
the lead, with New London Team No. 1
having the same percentage, but the
New Londoners have rolled three more
games than the other two teams, so
that the loser tonight will be sure 70
drop behind New London Whichever
wins. two out Of three will remain tied
with New London. The hour for the
match will be as usual at $50, to allow
the Westerly men to catch their trolley

For the first twelve games rolled in
the league, which do not include the
games rolled this week. Captain Dalton
of New London Team No. 2 has figured
out the totals and averages Of the six
teams, which were published in a New
London paper. Records of the teams
kept by The Bulletin agree in general
with DaltOns except that Stone Of
Norwich No l should have a total of
4I4 instead of 729 and McClafferty of
the same team should have a total OF
9S7 instead Of 1872, as given these two
players by Dalton. Their averages are
affected correspondingly.
Gliven Of Westerly No. and Captain
Harris of Norwich No. 2 hold the two
high individual averages, with Bliven
a fraction the better. IS 1-2 to 80 1-3.

LAST DAY OF 1908.
Few important Changes in Prices-Nc
Furry in Money Market at the

New York, Dec. 31.-The last dav Of
the year at the stock exchange was a.
dull one. Business was light and
there were few important changes in
prices. The strong advance in New

was attributed at the same time TO
persistent rumOrs that that gentle

escape notice. and offers an example of
the mixed irregular character of the
small trading. The imminence of a
holiday not unusually has the effect
OF cutting down the volume of business
and the'close Of the year is of especial

Isolated advances were a feature of the

Third saekers Watch for KseIsr Now.

One Of the well known players who
was in constant attendance during the
American league meeting last week
was Willie Keeler, twice champion
batsman Of the world and probably
the best bunter In the history of the
game. His decline as a batter came
up one afternoon and Keller explained
it as follows:
My big batting averages in the
years when L was right in my prime
were due to my ability to hunt. l can
still bunt just as skilfully, but it
must be remembered that each year I
have slowed up a trifle. The first
year or two that l lost a little Of my
speed 1t was scarcely noticeable, but
now, after four or five years, l find
that l am often beaten by stride at
first base on bunts that 1 formerly
beat out with ease.
Then the third basemen are han
ding bunts better than they used to
in the old days. When I was at my
best there was scarcely a third base
man in the National league that would
try to throw me out. He would he
satisfied to pick up the ball and hold
it, taking no chances on a wild throw
to first. OF course If he came in near
the plate to play for a bunt 1 would
lift it over his head or smash it
through him"

covaIeaki the Goods.

Covaleski. the south paw of the
Philadelphia Nationals, who made
such good showing last year. is laud-
ed by his veteran team mate, Ed
Moore, who says of him.
'Covaleskit has the making of the
best left hand pitcher in the world. I
really think he has more speed than
Waddell ever had. He has a wonder
full break on his fast ball, while he
also has good curve, and, what is
more important. perfect control. Last
spring he was very wild and Murray
had to farm him out, but when he
came back in the fall he was as steady
as a clock.
"Covaleski is also a fine. level head
ed fellow. No bonehead in his make
up.
"He is a willing worker, and you'll
remember that he just begged for a
chance to go against the Giants the
third time In a week. Those left
handlers on the New York team swing
like amateurs L heard him say to
Murray, Let me take another crack
at them and I'll beat them sure And
Covaleski spoke by the card. too"

1903 A GREAT YEAR
FOR AMERICAN ATHLETES.
Set Ten New Marks at oIympics and
Four Worlds Records.

BY far the greatest year in the his
tory of American athletics is that of
1908. Not only has amateur sport
seen its greatest period, but profess
sional sport. too, has f1ourished, even
though presidential year is generally
conceded to be a poor one for those
who are out for the long green.
For the year 1908 there were a re-
markably large number Of new marks
in track and field events inscribed on
the records, more tnan in years which
have been considered banner ones.
The Olympic games have been al
luded to frequently as responsible for
this, and they may have been. in a
measure, but as a matter of fact,
mum Der of the new records have been
made since the games, which shows
that the interest was not centered on
the London meet alone, although those
games were remarkable in themselves,
so far as the accomplishments of the
United States athletes We're concerned.
