i'm the business too long to be worried
by the taunts OF the hostile bleachers
or the chies OF the opposing coachers.
1t is one OF the most delightful pas
times in the world for lover OF the
national game to get Bill in a remi-
ntscent mood and listen to hts tales OF
old days-of stars past and present
whom he knew by actual contact ON
the diamond. You cannot mention a
big league player who attained any
prominence In the good old days thai
Bill cannot relate some entertaining
story about him.

UHLAN Wins FROM
QUEEN OF TROTTERS
WORLDS CHAMPION BEATEN AT
READvILLE ON SLOW TRACK
IN GREAT RACE.

Readville, Mass, Sept. s.-Over a
track fully two seconds slower than
when the great Lou Dillon startled the
world with a mile in two minutes
thereon, the trotting gelding Uhlan
defeated Hamburg Belle in straight
meats at the Readville track today IN
the second meeting of the pair to de-
eide the trotting championship OF the
world. AS Uhlan is a locally owned
and bred horse, the victory was de-
cidedly popular, the crowd OF ten
thousand cheering at the conclusion
OF each of the heats and also when
the victor returned to the wire for
driver Robert Proctor to weight in.
Hamburg Belle was favorite before
the start at odds Of to 8, because ~

meeting Of the cracks at Cleveland

maintaining this advantage clear to
the three quarter pole. when IT was
seen Proctor was driving for the first
time In earnest in attempting to
overtake the leader with the black
son OF Bingen.
Rapidly Uhlan closed in on the mare
until at the head or the home stretch
me had her tapped. his head being at
her saddle. Andrews apparently had
confidence In the finishing ability OF
Hamburg Belle and never made
move until he saw Uhlan had reach
ed her neck. Then, thirty yards from
the wire, he tapped the trotting queen
a couple OF times but she failed to
respond and Uhlan quickly went into
the lead winning easily by two
lengths.
The fractional parts OF the mile
were: 81 3-4: 1902 IA and 2:04 "a.
After couple OF warming up
scores for the second heat the con-
testants turned for the word and got
II the first time down. The pole. the
hackers and admirers OF the Boston
representative had concluded was a
big help, but just before reaching the
quarter pole, Andrews surprised
everyone by fairly jumping Hamburg
Belle into the lead, so that 1t appear
ed from the grand stand as IL Uhlan
had met with an accident and been
forced TO stop stock still. II was a
wonderful burst OF speed, considering
too. that the quarter was reached i'm
thirty-one seconds. From this point
Uhlan was in about the same position
back OF the leader as the previous
heat and Proctor too, made his drive
in the lower turn at exactly the same
place as before. Andrews. knowing
the result OF waiting possibly too long
in the former mile, was not to be
caught SO easily this time, and began
when entering the stretch to tease
his mare for increased speed. How
ever, Uhlan was certainly crawling
to even terms and had collared his
opponent when inside Of the distance.
Here Andrews was successful for a
number of yards in holding his own.
but soon II was perceptible TO the
spectators that Hamburg Belle was
weakening under the strain. Cheering
began all along the quarter stretch for
the winning horse which then came
away in front and was good length
in front at the wire.
frhe fractional parts OF the heat
illustrated the methods Andrews used
in trying to escape defeat The quar-
ter was passed in 81 half in 1901 IA:
three quarters In 1882 and the mile
in 2:03h.

Thirty Million Dollars Are
Annually Spent on Baseball

Baseball is a ssO,oooOoO business
proposition.
The national sport is certainly a
lusty infant.
And baseball is an infant. Desnite
the phenomenal development of the
past ten years, the game is Just getting
a start
Last year $S0O0O,O 600 was paid to see
games In organized leagues. While the
statement may appear radical, it seems
certain that within the next decade
this will be multiplied by five.
Cities and towns in the United
States have a population of 80, 900 600.
Estimating upon twenty games a sea
son for every fan, 1t is easy to see the
total multiplied not by Ave, but by ten.
The organized baseball situation to-
day Is this: Fiftytw leagues; Ale
teams, and $500 players.
At Forbes field, Pittsburg, the other
day, 41,0OO paid to watch two games
Conservatives believe the total base
ball attendance this year will reach
100000
Great Industry.
From the dollar side, baseball is one
of the worlds greatest industries. The
estimated value of the major leagues
sixteen clubs Is $6,000.000. Big league
parks average 100000. Their fran
chises represent an equal value. Pitts
burg's plant represents an outlay Of
81, 100000 alone.
What causes this tremendous in
crease in values, when ten or twelve
years ago leagues were near dissolu-
ton and fought with bitterness that
would have made Marion, the Swamp
Fox" weep?
The answer is System"
Business men have systematized
baseball until the organization COM
pares with Hartman railroad Where,
fifteen years ago, loose policy kept all
but a dozen or so clubs from making
money, today it is hard to find team
not on paying basis.
Instead of being looked upon with
suspicion as a man who attends a ball
game, as was once the case, we now
hear of baseball as pulpit theme.
Here il a business unique In itself.
A business conducted upon cash
basis, that is paid for what 1t sells
at, and some of the most partisan OF
fans are found among divines.
Baseball attracts clean minded,
clean limbed athletes and hard headed
business men. In its march to the
front the rough edges have been knock
ed away.

Corridor spitball Inventor.

The question as to the identity
of the pitcher who discovered the
spitball, which has been so often
discussed since the appearance Of
the damp fling, seems to be settled
at last. Elmer Stricklett, the for
mer Brooklyn twirler, heretofore
has been generally conceded to be
the discoverer of the moistened de-
livery, but while the Dodgers were
\ in Philadelphia recently Doc Scan
Ion, of Lumley's staff of beavers,
1t will be recalled, asserted that
Stricklett on more than one occas-
ion told him that Frank Corridor
had supplied him with the raw ma
terial for this style OF delivery.
Gordon said recently: II used
to do all sorts of experimenting
with the ball when ! broke into
fast company, and one day I no.
ticed that whenever / wet my fin-
gers to get a grip on an otherwise
slippery ball it would take peculiar
shoots. / talked to Stricklett about
1t, and together we worked on the
thing, until we finally managed to
get the ball to obey nicely with
this moist place on its hide. Strick-
lett used it more than / did and
found that it was a fooler and quite
capable Of holding him his job in
fast society. After saw the sue
cess he made of my invention I
went In to improve 1t. and have
been using 1t ever since.
"The discovery, of course, was
purely accidental. But it has revo-
lntionized the art of pitching to a.
great extent, and has kept more
than. one man in fast company who
would never get out Of the minors
if he had to depend upon the
straight form Of delivery for his
success"
