PITCHING Is STILL MOST
IMPORTANT PART OF GAME

For many years baseball students
nave insisted that first-class pitcher
IL more than 60 per cent of a success
ful teams strength. Without effect
I've pitching no team has won a pen
nant. The recent series between the
Athletics and Cubs and the Giants and
Highlanders served to illustrate this
point more clearly than before. Coombs
and Mathewson were the winning fac
tors. Coombs pitched i'm three games
for the Athletics and won them all.
Mathewson OBLIGATED i'm three games
for the Giants, from start to finish,
and won them all, at the same time
saving Drucke from defeat i'm an
other contest. The Cubs were trimmed
chiefly because overall and Brown did
not show their usual pitching skill
while the Highlanders were beaten
! partially for the reason that their star
boxmen, Ford and Vaughn, did not
| come up TO the requirements.
The Pittsburgs won the worlds
championship from the Detroits last
year because of the great pitching of
Babe Adams When the Cubs won
these honors Brown. Reulbach and
4 overall were invincible. 1t was the
wonderful pitching of Mathewson and
McGinnity that enabled the Giants to
beat the Athletics i'm 1905. Going back
further. the champion Brooklyns of
1899 had Jimmy Hughes, an iron man
and McGinnity made of the SAND
metal. The champion Bostons under
Frank Selee had "A durable star pitcher
| i'm Kid Nichols, who wore well for 4
dozen years. In Rusie and Meekin
the Giants, who won the Temple Cur
in 1894 had the best twirlers i'm the
National league.
The first really great pitcher in the
National league was A. G.. Spalding
and to his skill was due the winnig
of pennants by Boston and Chicago
SO when you read about the remark
able work of Mathewson and Coombs
you'll know that ii is a case of his
tory repeating itself. The ball club
that has star pitchers will always be
heard from, and this, 1t is believed
will apply to the Washingtons next
year If Walter Johnson retains his
best form and AcAleer can strengthen
one or two weak spots.

HANCOCK HIGHS DEFEATED
BY Big SCORE SATURDAY

That the Calumet high school foot

before the championship of the copper
country is fully decided was demon
strated by the decisive defeat OF Han

score OF "a 10 o. Calumet resorted 10
the old style football which proved
very effective The forward pass also
gave Calumet two touchdowns. FUND.-
ling married the play 10 some extent,
this being due TO the fact that the
field was slippery and the ball wet.
James and White were the most ef-
fective ground gamers for Calumet
while Kotila the little Hancock quar-
terback was the most brilliant player
for the visitors.
White scored for Calumet on for
ward pass shortly after the opening OF
the first quarter, and Frimodig kick
ed goal. White also made the second
touchdown, on a line plunge. Firm
odig failed i'm his try at goal and the
score stood II to 0. The third touch
down was made in the second quarter
on a brilliant As yard run by James.
Frimodig missed goal. Allen made CAL
umet's last touchdown on a short run
after catching Kotila's punt. Frimodis
again failed to negotiate the goal
posts.

ALL-sTARs TO JAPAN.
Manager MeAIeer May Take American
leaguers to Orient.

Chicago, oct. 31.-Taking heart at
the success of the Maroon baseball
team now touring Japan, James Nc
Aeer, manager of the Washington
baseball club and the man who led the
All-StaTs against the Athletics in the
recent series between those two clubs
Is going to take the team that swept
the worlds champions off their feet
ON a tour of the Jap's home in the fall
OF 1911 and play them a series OF
games.
McAleer has enlisted practically
every man who played with the ALI
stars this year. He will take sullivan
ana Street as catchers, providing the
Sox or Senators do not win the series;
Walter Johnson, Doc. White, Ed.
Walsh, pitchers: Jake Stahl, first
base; Elberfeld, second base; Mcbride,
shortstop; Harry Lord. third base;
Cobb' Milan and Speaker, outfielders

teams in Nippon.

MACK MAY HAVE TROUBLE.
Stars Of Athletics Limo Up May De-
mand More Money Next Year.

They say that Connie Mack has one
of the cheapest paid ball clubs in the
big leagues, but he had the best one,
nevertheless. The elongated manager
may experince not a little trouble
signing up his players next season.
His pitching celebrities will probably
ask for two or three-year contracts
and Barry, Baker and Lapp will no
doubt demand substantial increases.
II will be interesting to know just
what salary Mack will offer Eddie Col
Inns The latter is recognized uni
versally as a star. He viii probably
insist on stars salary. He will be
able to use the argument that Hans
Wagner draws $4,000 from Pittsburg
that Ty Cobb pulls down $4,000 an
nually as the chief player with the
Tigers, that Iris Speaker is paid over
$4,000 by the Boston Americans and
that Lajoie is getting $500 as Cleve-
lands celebrity.
And Mack is forced to admit that
Collins is n star of the first magni-
tude.

CONNIE MACK'S FRIENDS
OFFER WHITE ELEPHANT

Philadelphia, Pa, oct. 31.-There is
danger that Connie Mack, pilot of the
worlds champion Athletics. will be
killed by kindness. Several local adj
mirers endeavored to present him
with a real live white elephant of two
tons weight and with an appetite that
demands at least three bales of hay.
AS Connie sat in the front window
of his home he saw a procession COM
ing up the street. In the vanguard
was the elephant. Connie saw it first.
He did not wait to make a polite So
Ciety Not at home" announcement.
Connie just hurdled all the back
fences To escape from the kindness Of
his friends. He escaped for the time
being and left his mother, the aged
Mrs. McGillicuddy, 10 repel boarders.
She did il with tears in her eyes She
informed the "frenzcd fans" that Con-
ME was not at home; that she had no
place to put an elephant, and that the
garnet was full of discarded baseball
uniforms.
Even the fact that the elephant had
been given generous coat of whit
wash to make the beast sacred did
not appeal TO Mrs McGillicuddy.
White or mouse colored, il looked all
the same 10 her. She didn't propose 10
put Connie into bankruptcy. and she
wouldn't receive the beast.
After threatening 20 chain the white
elephant to the front porch and arr
guing with Mrs. McGillicuddy for an
hour the fans eventually led the ami
NAL back TO a downtown stable. Then
and not until then, Connie slipped back
into the house.
The elephant was purchased from q
New York dealer by the Ware Bros.
local contractors Magistrate Hughes
and so other fans. They are paying
the board OF the beast, and tonight
are wondering how they can persuade
Connie TO accept it as a mascot foI
the Athletics.

HOW COLE GOT START.

Prior to jumping into base ball Hi
Cole was a shaver and incidentally
he could cut hair little. one day
when lie got his offer to pitch base
ball at 800 a month he repaired to
the shop and told his associates that
he was going to leave. Just then a
customer arrived, and Cole was the
only artist not busy. He climbed into
the old kings chair and Cole prepared
him for the operation. After he had
spread the lather and thoroughly pre-
pared the face for the execution King
Cole touched his patient on the Shout

MINNESOTA GETS
WESTERN TITLE
BY DEFEATING CHICAGO IN DE-
cISIVE MANNER GoPHERs WIN
CHAMPIONSHIP OF CON-
FERENCE SCHOOLS.

Saturdays football offered no sur
prises by defeating the University of
Chicago team, Minnesota demonstrat-
ed its right to the title Of conference
champions, but this result was gen
orally expected, as Chicago is admit
teddy weak this year. True the
Gophers have yet to face Wisconsin,
OF the conference schools, but the
Badgers are no longer feared as in
years gone by and there is little poss-
ibility OF Minnesota losing.
Michigan defeated Syracuse as was
expected. Coach Yost was not forced
TO resort to new football TO defeat the
Orange" and the game was marked
by little brilliant play. The decisive
defeat Of NOtre Dame By the Michi-
san Agricultural college practically
puts the Catholics out of running for
the western championship outside OF
the conference colleges.
II is now generally apparent that
the football honors for the year 1910
lie between Yale. Harvard, Princeton
Michigan and Minnesota in the west.
The Pennsylvania Michigan game will
offer the only basis of comparison be-
tween the relative strength Of the
teams in the west and the teams i'm
the east. AS this game does not occur
until the latter part of the season, the
honors until that time will be some
what cloudcd.
