does not compare favorably with that
Of the previous year, does it? Recent
reports say that Walsh's arm is CIV
ing him considerable trouble and his
career in the majors is short. Of
course nobody can correctly prognosti-
cate what Walsh may do later in the
season. but if he again pitches star
ball he can be regarded as more or
less of a marvel. He is close to that
in physique now. but the salary arm
of the major league baseball pitcher
is an entirely separate piece of mech
anism from the rest of his constitution.
AS the baseball world is aware, an
iron man" is n who can work at
least four games a week and be ready
to act as the main stem in a double
header in between if any are carded
to be played. The Iron man. must
be always willing to %unloosen some of
the steel in his arm for the benefit of
his club.
Joe McGinnity used to be the best
iron man" in the business. He could
pitch a double engagement today and
60 in and wheel again tomorrow. And
he used to win the majority of his
games. That's why he was regarded
as the best Iron man." Joe did his
most superb work when McGraw was
erecting pennant poles at the Polo
grounds. This was over five years
ago.. Toe many Iron man" entertain
ments made him lose his National
league effectiveness. Now he is man.
aging the Newark club of the Eastern
league and pitching once or twice a
week.
The iron men" of the base
ball era are no longer Iron men,"
Jack Chesbro. leading pitcher of the
American league in 1904. is farming
today on a big homestead in New Eng
land. Jack Is done for so far as the
use of his big league arm is consider
ed. He is not beset with any financial
worries. because he saved q great deal
Of what he made in the days Of sue
cess, but the fact that it was Jacks
steady pitching that enforced his re-
tirement from baseball cannot be
gainsaid. In 1904 Chesbro was the
meat and bone of the New York Yam
kee pitching staff. He would have
pitched that club into a championship
but for an unfortunate slip Of his
spitball at the psychological moment
in the last and deciding game of the
season.
After the momentous campaign in
1904 Jack was pretty near ready for
his baseball obituary, although he es-
sayed to pitch until 1908.
Last year Hardness, now with the
Cleveland Maps, gunned sixty-five
games for Portland in the Pacific
Coast league. AS a member of Nc
Cures contingent he did not show
any better than many minor pitchers
who graduate and not nearly as good
as some.
"Stoney" McGlynn worked in sixty
four games for Milwaukee last year.
In nearly every game be has pitched
since the opening of the present
American association race he has
been peppered by opposing batsmen.
''Stoney" worked too hard in 1909.

THE FISHERIES CASE.

America and Great Britain Settling
Their Long Dispute by Arbitration.
Possibly not in our time will we see
the day when all nations decide that
their armies and navies are not needed,
but the manne in which America and
Great Britain are just now settling
their fishery dispute at The Hague is
a long step in that direction. That
these two great countries should be
willing to refer the pending questions

of allowing them to drag IN. as before.

Does it pay to be an iron man" In
baseball? This question is now being
asked on the big league circuit. Many
twirlers think it a great honor to pitch
fifty or more games a a or two,
but in doing so ruin their salary arms.

He pitched ~sixty-six games, winning
forty, losing fifteen and tying one.

The Chamber OF Commerce has ask
ed the shippers Of Richmond to de-
eide what action they wish taken
against those railways entering the
city which refuse to grant switch-
ing and trap-car service such as the
merchants believe Richmond should
have. and Monday morning circular
was sent out by the Chambers traf-
fic manager TO every shipper in town
containing report of the special
committee which for the last several
months has been investigating con
ditions.

that the fight would he taken directly

was postponed.
The committee now reports, how
