Peter Jackson was only with us for
a brief season and he was probably q
little past his prime as a ring athlete
when he first came. He whipped
George Godfrey. Patsy Cardiff and-Joe

he would have made things interest

given him the chance. Peter was too
fond of London to remain long in this
country and London proved his un-
doing.
Frank Slavin was a typical Austria
liam bruiser. and Joe Goddard was an
other. Slavin did most of his fighting
in England and Australia. He made
brief visits to New York when in his
prime, and gave samples of his prowess
in short bouts there.
He was never much good after the
grueling he engaged in with Peter
jackson in England, and when he came
to this country to follow the fighting
game his stamina was impaired. and
he fell easy victim TO the third rate
men.
Goddard was a human bulldog and
anything but a brilliant performer. He
was poison to an opponent who was
Inferior to him in animal courage.
One of the .cleverest of the Australian
contingent was Jim Hail. but he did
not make much Roadway on this side.
Jim created a furore the night he was
first tried out at the old California club
in San Francisco. His opponent was
Alex Greggains, who was one of the
best boxers among the coast heavy
weights at the time.

Ounce. He spared on the crescendo
principle. warming up with each round,
and by the time the third round was
over Greggains was completely bewil-
dered. The club members were as
founded at the tall Australians clever
ness and great things were predicted
for Jim. Somehow, he failed to make
good.

TRYING OUT THE
YOUNGER PLAYERS
New York Has a Big Bunch
of Them to Put to Test
Next Season.
(By Sam Crane.)

New York, n. Y, Sept. 25-It is al
ways more or less of a gamble as TO
how young players will turn out and
club owners are willing to take long
chances in their efforts to secure
'Phenoms." Any club that can get
one find" out of a dozen new play
ers, is very fortunate.
The New York club will have fifteen
youngsters next spring, who may pos
sibly be the coming Mathewsons,
Chases and Cobbs of the future, but
then again, none of the entire crowd
may turn cut to be of any use.
In Louis Drucke. 1 think the Giants
have a pitcher who will eventually
be narly up 70 Christie Mathewson as
a pitcher. He, in my opinion, is a
real find and Will be very valuable
asset to the New York club. Drucke
was secured from the Dallas club in
the fall OF 1909 and did well from the
start. This season he has developed
into one Of the most promising young
sters that the year has produced. He
is somewhat crude yet, but under Nc
Graws careful management he Will
become a start twirler That is, every
thing points that way. He is raw
youth now-"an overgrown kid" as
McGraw says-but he is a student of
the game, and being such, is sure to
master al the intricacies of the pitch
er's game. That Drucke asks ques-
lions of older players is in his favor
He asks so many questions Of Mathew
son, that the latter has limited him
TO one day. But to Mathewson's
credit il can be stated that he gives
the tall Texan ali the information that
he can and coaches him constantly.
This is somewhat rare for an old ball
player to do, and is therefore, notice
able 1t will be interesting to watch
Drucke's career under the instructions
of such a master as the premier pitch
er of the country
do not hesitate to say that Drucke
sill be a Second Christie Mathewson

In Marquard, Shontz and Teserau the
Giants too have three pitchers whom
think will make their marks in big
league class. Marquard was possibly !

longer fight between Lang and.
Kaufman is suggested, and it might be
a good idea to send the men together
in contest calculated to furnish more
decisive results. Meanwhile. there is
no denying that Lang is generally re-
garded as failure.
He is suffering in a way for the
shortcomings of Bill Squires. After
"Boshter" made such a lamentably
poor showing with one t. Burns it
robbed Squires Of his dash and fight

He didn't improve when sent against

This is rather rough on Lang, but it
is the kind of reasoning that might
have been looked for. For Langs sake
it is to be hoped ne will be given other
chances to show his mett!e.

I nant winners is as follows: John On

I lean league, Heine Mag to the To-
/ ledo team of the American association
Hank Gowdy TO the New York team OF
the National league, w. B. ShOntZ &c
New York team of the National league
jean Dale to Cleveland of the American
league, Harry Storch to the Nashville
team of the Southern league and Geo
Jackson to Memphis of the Southern
league. These seven men are all likely
players and it is beIived that all of
them will make good in the faster COM
pany to which they are going.
Malloy, who went from Houston to
the St Louis Browns of the American
league, has now lost both games he has
pitched. In each he was pounded hard.
Several Texas pitchers who were not
going nearly so good a gait, in the Tex
as league as was Malloy, are making
better showing. 1t looks as if, in his
attempt to land the pennant for Hous-
ton, he had oYerdone himself and is
now suffering a reaction. If he fails
to make good it will be a great disap-
pointment to his Texas admirers.
During the present season it is very
possible a new record for itching in
the American league VIII be establish
ed, and the glory will rest with Ben
holds 1t.
So far this season Bender has won
% games and lost three. The percent
age of $40 has seldom been eQualled
by any pitcher before where he has
participated in more than 10 games.
To equal Donovan's record in 1907,
Bender must win two more games and
lose only one.
Bender continues IN fine form and
while he has a big task before him he
will probably be able to win the COW
eted honor. The big indian has been
growing stronger and stronger as the
season advances. His work has put
him in the front ranks of the greatest
pitchers the world has ever known.
Donovan's record has been surpassed
only once and that was when baseball
was in its infancy, and pitchers did not
have to contend with what they do
now. Al Spaulding was the man and the
year was 1875. when he was with the
Boston club. He won 56 games and lost
seven. Imagine the pitchers OF today
pitching So games. In 1908 Ed Walsh
Of the American league pitched SIS
games, getting a percentage Of 727.
But even with Bender's great per-
Torrance he is not a greater pitcher
than Johnson Of the Washington team !
With the work he has been doing this /
year, Johnson would have ranked much |
higher than Bender had he an equally 1
strong team behind him. Johnson has |

An Old Timer Leaves Meade.

N. R. Bishop, who came here
in the early days and settled on
a quarter east of town, with his
family, personal property and
best horses left Saturday for
Wichita. Mr.. Bishop came to
this county single and with no
means he began farming, and
later a winsome girl from the
east joined fortunes with him.
They have lived on the land,
worked hard, raised an enter
prising family of children, ac-
cumulated some cash and added
to the original quarter of land.
Sometime ago Mrs. Bishops
health failed and she was treat
ed at various hospitals, with
some success, but soon after
return home she would become
worse again.
When it seemed that only
lower altitude would be a per-
manent benefit, Mr.. Bishop Of
fered his farm for sale. 1t was
only short time until a buyer
offered his price, and the deal
was closed. Mr.. Bishop then
went in search of another loca-
ton, finally picking out small
farm eight miles out of Wichita,
and two from a small town.
This farm is well improved and
a comfortable home. 1t cost
less cash than he sold for here,
so that he has considerable left
for use besides his farm.
The neighbors miss them
from social functions and from
the Sunday school which they
with few others started about
p years ago. We wish them
health and success.

boasts of what a power in the

what great influence it has. 1t

take the pastorate of the church
at that place and we believe one
or two country charges. He has
been a faithful worker and in
fluential citizen here, and will be
a power for good in his new
home. Meade loses by his re-

the forces of good against wrong
it is necessary to move the sol
