WHY TOMMY LEACH
QUIT THIRD BASE
Clever Player Wants to Stay
in Base Ball as Long
as Possible.

Ball players have to think fast, live
fast and die fast" said Tommy Leach,
moodily, as sort Of cheerful opening
to base ball chat one morning up at
the hotel while the Pittsburg club was
here. writes Jim McConaughy in the New
York Journal.
l tried to look sympathetic and mur-
INJURED something about it being a hard
life.
1T Is" he went on bitterly. Il have
been playing professional base ball for
fourteen years, and YOU can bet that there
are some days when / wish that every
ball park in the country would catch
fire at one time"
/ mentioned gently in reference to the
last and most distressing of his trinity
of woes, that he did not yet seem to be a
shattered vessel.
NO" he agreed without enthusiasm.
But when we chaps who have played
base ball for fifteen or twenty years
finally quit, we won't live long. There
is no doubt that 1t shortens a mans life.
He lives too active a life for too many
years to stand the big bunch of rest that
comes afterward. You watch what l tell.
The veterans in the game today will go
all to pieces when they are finally crowd
ed out of it,
Don't you like base ball?" I asked.
Like it? Why, of course. I-well,
mean when am feeling good 1 certainly
like to play it. II l could play base ball
whenever / wanted to and stay away
from the park whenever l felt like it
would be perfectly happy.
But 1t is this getting out day after
day, whether you feel like it or not. and
having to play the best there is in you
when you would rather be taking a ride
In the park-that is what gets to a man
after he has been in base ball for ten or
twelve years. He is bound to lose some
Of his enthusiasm. For me base ball is
work. just plain work. l go out to the
ball park the way another man goes to
his Office or to the factory.
Why Players Like Game.
II often see interviews with veteran ball
players in the newspapers around the
country Did you ever notice that they
all say the first thing that they just love
to play base ball? OF course they do
but not the way you think they mean.
They love to play the game for the same
reason that / do--because they can make
more money playing base ball than they
can at anything else.
And Just about the same thing goes
for the younger players. too. Naturally
they have a little more enthusiasm than
a man who has been at 1t for ten OF
twelve years longer than they have. but
at heart the real reason they ike base
ban is that 1t gives them better nVlnR
than they could earn at anything else

1t seems funny to read that Joe Wal
colt is still fighting for living. but such
is the case. This is the twentieth year
he has been in the ring and IL it weren't
for the fact that one of his hands was
badly injured by the premature discharge
of pistol he would make a little trouble
for the boys even today After his hand
was hurt he retired temporarily from
the ring and became careless in his mode
of living. 1t was this that put him back
more than the injury. AT that, last year
he fought twelve times against fairly
classy men and won a goodly percentage
of his fights. The best men he boxed in
l9OS were Jimmy Gardner, George Cole
Mike Donovan, Charlie Hitte, BARLEY
Connolly and Larry Temple and it was
Walcotts nineteenth year at the game.
With the reopening of the National A.
{. of Philadelphia and the Armory A. a.
of Boston, the fall boxing season in the
east is on with a boom. New York will
surely fall in line with two more big
clubs and rumor has it that Tom O'Rourke
.is going to start one after election. Dur
ing the Horton law days O'Rourke was in
softer than any one else. He was pro-
prietor of the Delavan Hotel, was in on
TO say nothing of the big coin he was get
ting from his three star fighters. Tom
Sharkey, Joe Walcott and George Dixon.
In late years he hasn't fooled much with
the boxing game, but now he says he Is
back in ii to stay. He is managing the
English bantamweight, Jim kenrick. and
it is his intention to put on Monte At
tell and Kenrick for the opening card If
he succeeds in starting his new club.
Every now and then You read about
an eX-fghter named Kid Wedge. who for
sock the ring for the pulpit. He is hob
nobbng around the middle west and
whenever there is a fight in his neighbor-
hood he attends and opens with prayer
and song. 1t Is no joke about him being
retired boxer. And he could fight. too.
Strong, a hard hitter and game as any
mans bull dog. AS late as four years ago
he was fighting around Arkansas. He
wasn't very clever and relied more upon
strength than science. but with the proper
schooling and experience, he would have
made first class middleweight. He had
the natural ability and all it needed was
development. Even in his ring days he
read and studied the Bible and always
had a leaning toward religion. He fought
for Andy Mulligan at Hot Springs several
times and always made good. One of his
last fights was with Milt Kenny.

Leach, as you know. is little man,
with sturdy, compact build. Even in
his "mufti you can see where he gets
the power to swing that big club of his
and drop balls into the left-field bleachers
at the Polo Grounds. But to look at him
you wouldn't think that he is the kind of

They don't make projectiles in that form
now. Mr.. Dooley said that all men could
be classed in two groups-square-hea dec

long throw from third base would soon
put a veterans arm out OF business, had
insisted that a clause be put in his con-

required to play In the infield.

the fruit and breakfast food had dis
