1ppendir of S5cedish Ruler
Successfully RemOUed.

Stockholm, Feb. king Gustave was
operated on tonight for appendicitis, and
1t was officially reported that the opera
ton was a success.
The King had been suffering from con-
tinuaI internal pains since early Sun
day evening but it was not until this
evening that the physicians diagnosed
the case as one of appendicitis, requiring
an immediate operation.
The physicians first diagnosed the
Kings illness as catarrh of the stomach.
and the matter was taken with such lit
tie seriousness that several members Of
the royal family attended a concert this
evening. At 10 o'clock they were all
summoned to return to the palace, where
they were apprised of the physicians in
tention to operate on his majesty.

This difference accounts for the fact that
Englishmen retire from business earlier
in life than Americans do; they go to the
country and set up as fine old families

MUTUAL ASSISTANCE.
Pitchers and Catchers Aid One An
other in Their Work.

Pitchers often owe much Of their sue
cess to their catcher but there is another
side TO the picture. The pitcher makes the
catcher sometimes. Again, most often it
is the case the catcher Or the pitcher
makes his fame and success By his own
ability. Independent of his battery mate.
But what cinch it is for catcher who
does the backstopping for such an accom-
plished pitcher at Mathewson. His name
is linked with Mathewsons in the battery
honors that accrue, and with Mathew
sons unusual control and head work his
receiver has much easier game to catch
than if he were receiving for some pitcher
who did not know the batters and who
was wild and hard to handle
Skillful or not on his own hook, the
catcher who handles Mathewsons de-
livery is fortunate. If he is a star catcher
SO much the better. Three back.tops have
been associated to the point of reputation
with MatheWSon since he became a star.
They are Warner, Bresnahan and Meyers.
Others have caught him. but these three
have done most of the catching for him.
1t was in connection with Mathewson
that Bresnahan worked his way into the
base ball limelight, though "a sterling
catcher on his own account. His all
around ability. too, helped Bresnahan to
deserved reputation as player Of the
front rank, yet since he severed relations
with the New York club it is as man

has remained prominent.
Johnny Killing needed no Mordecai
Brown to bring him to the front as
crack catcher, for King has been a back
stop i'm thousand and has done more to
make pitchers than pitchers ever did to
enhance his reputation Wilbert Robin
son made pitchers in the old Oriole days
and made ordinary pitchers do first-cass
work by his coaching, advice and general
ability. Russell Ford of the highlan ders
Is great pitcher, and association with
him increases the fame of his catcher,
but the fact must not be overlooked that
Ed Sweeney has had a good deal to do
the Vagaries of Fords splitter as nobody
else does. and without him Ford doesn't
do so we'll with his freak moist ball Still
Ford is young, and in time doubtless will
be able to paddle his own canoe as well
with one good catcher as with another
Cy Young and Lou Criger, each great
on his own merits, nevertheless helped
boost each other a great deal. Young, by
the way. is not in all respects an easy
pitcher TO catch. He has fine control and
is good general. but he throws what is
known as heavy speed Given catcher
with certain amount of native ability,
and Walter Johnson. the speediest pitcher
in the game, will do more to make that
catcher than the latter will do to make
him.
Any catcher would be helped by such
pitcher as Bender. a twrer who
come pretty near putting the ball where
he expects TO put it When the eccentric
engost did most of his catching and con-
tributed good deal toward the Rube's
effectiveness, but, so far as reputation
went. Waddell did much more to spread
Schreck's than Schreck did toward MAX
