GOLDsTEIN HE TOOK;
 CARBON HE IS

Jacob Carlow Goldstein appeared before the Superior court this morn ing and desired to. have his name changed from that of Goldstein to Gar- bow He claimed that Carlow was the name he enjoyed when he left Russia and went to England, and later used on coming to Bridgeport 22 years ago. He took Go1dstein because friends told him it was a nicer name. Carlow is his family name.
 Judge Burpee thought it was abso- lutely useless for the court to change the name as the taking of "Goidstein' was only a wfirn while Carlow was his real name. Counsel for Garbo:w stated that his citizenship papers were taken out in the name of Goldstein which was the reason that he now wanted the change. The court had no Jurisdiction in the matter as Carlow was his legal name.

QUICKEST THINKING PLAY
IN HISTORY or BASEBALL
Made BY Tommy Mccarthy, the Old
Boston Outfelder, and Won
Game for His Team.

THE quickest thinking i ever saw
on baseball field, writes Hugh Full
Ierton, the well-Hnown baseball crit
ic, was done BY Tommy Mccarthy,
the Boston outhelder of years ago
Tom Browne. one Of the speediest
runners that ever played baseball,
was on second and New York needed
but one run to tie the score Jack
Doyle, then a great batter, was at
oat, and it seemed certain that a
base hit by Doyle would tie the score
and perhaps win the game. as there
was but one out and Browne was 50
speedy he could score from second
base on almost any kind OF q safe hit.
Mccarthy crept closer to the inleld
on left, realizing that although he
could throw with wonderful rapid y
and accuracy, the chances we're all
against throwing Browne out at the
plate unless he was close and the
ball came to him quickly.
Doyle drove a hard line hit straight
70 the left field Browne went scud-
ding toward third base. Doyle raced
for first and Mccarthy plunged for
ward at top speed. The fielder
reached the ball on its first bound,
grabbed it and without stopping or
looking threw with terrific force and
perfect aim across the diamond into
the first baseman's hands. Browne
had stopped at third base, Doyle who
had turned first with the intention of
sprinting to second, was caught stand
ing still ten feet from first The
next batter went out on a fly and
Boston won the game.
after the game I asked Mccarthy
concerning the play Well he ex-
planned, Browne is a quick thinker
He saw how hard that bah was hit
and knew he would be thrown out at
the plate unless I fumbled. Doyle
doesn't think very fast and knowing
that he would turn first and stop to
see if l was throwing him, l threw
across to first and caught him
He figured that out while the ball
was screaming through the air toward
him, probably reaching his conclu-
sions and making the decision in four
dfths of a second"

p6REATEsTs BASEBALL cATcR
Bill LANCE Made 1t While Playing
with chicagos, and It Saved Him
q Heavy Fine.

The greatest individual feat ever
performed was one by which Bill
LANCE, now retired, saved a game for
Chicago and $500 for himself in Wash
ington in 1895. There is an odd story
connected with the play. Lange had
missed train in Boston two days
before, failed to reach New York in
time to play there, and Arson had
fined him 500. Thereupon he missed
train 10 Washington, and arrived on
the grounds after the teams had prac-
ticed and just in time to play, and for
that Arson fined him another 500.
The game that afternoon went IL
innings, Chicago scoring one run in
the eleventh. There were two men
out and a runner on the bases, when
Kip Setback, then one of the hard
est batters, smote the ball a terrific
blow and sent it flying over Lange's
head toward the center field fence.
The hit seemed q sure home run, but
LANCE, a man weighing 225 pounds,
stgrned. and, without looking, sprint
ed desperately straight out toward
the fence, racing with the flying bali.
At the last instant IS the bah was &c
ing over his head, LANCE leaped, stuck
Up both hands, turned a somersault,
and crashed against the fence The
boards splintered, one entire panel
crashed outward, and out Of the wreck
age crawled LANCE, holding the ball
in his hand, and the crowd went mad
LANCE came limping in, with the
crowd standing on seats and shouting,
and said to Arson: Fines go, Cap?"
"Nope, said Arson, and the catch had
saved the big fielder 5000
