GETTING DOWN.
PITCHER ClARkSoN IS DEAD
FAMOUS AS TWIRLER BOSTON
PAID $4,000 FOR.
Wonderful Record During 1889
When He Nearly Made "Bean-
Eaters Champions.

WALTHAM, Mass, February 4.-John
G. Clarkson. famous the land over as a
base ball pitcher in the days when ten
thousand dollar release prices began to be
paid between National League clubs died
at the Mclean Hospital here today
He had been a patient there for about
two weeks, following long illness which
began at his home in Winthrop with an
attack of pneumonia.
Clarkson's fame developed with his
work as pitcher for the Chicago club in
the early Sos. His release was purchased
for $4,000 by the Boston club in 1881
ClarksOn was forty-eight years old and
married.
John Clarkson first became prominent ir
the professional ranks as pitcher for the
Saginaw club in 1854. In 1885 he Join eC
the Chicago club and remained with that
club until 1883, when. at his own request
he was released from that club. and the
Boston club purchased the exclusive right
to his services for $4,000.
Clarkson did good work Tor the Boston:
and repained with them until 1862 The,
he was turned over to the Cleveland
club.
Clarkson took high rank as a strate-
gic pitcher after his frst season in the
Chicago team. He never pitched with
more telling effect than he did during
1859 with the BOstons when his great
est opponent was Tim Keefe. Had he
been properly backed up that year 1t
was figured that he would have won
the championship for Boston.
He pitched in more games that year
than any other twirler. His recori
proved conclusively his right to the
title of champion pitcher of the season.
Clarkson worked in " full games
and portion of others. He is credit
ed with 40 victories and 16 defeats
which is something for these late dag
twirlers to look at as they consider
- games hard seasons work
The late Father Chadwick. In writing
OF Clarkson in 1880 said:
"Clarkson had great command uf the ball
and pitches very swiftly when necessary
and. in fact, Is a 'head-work pitcher IN
every respect. Being an intelligent. edu
Gated man of excellent habits, lie COM
mands the esteem and respect of all
whose good opinion is worth anything
