When the hiatus appeared be-

pitched they would screw up their
faces and bite on the rubber as
hard as they could to offset the
pain.
ION a warm day have heard a
catcher say proudly, along about
the middle of the game, oh, am
getting along fine-my hands are
swelling up in great shape
In those days there were few
players who were not SCARED. It
used to be part of the pitchers
duty to try to hit the batter with,
the ball.
Il have seen men knocked sense
less many times, and you must re-
member that at this time the
pitcher stood As feet away, instead
of 60 feet inches, as today. Then
they passed the rule that a batter
hit by pitched ball might go to
first, and stopped the murderous
pitching.
Talk about the roughness of
football in these days, and the hope
lessness of trying to stop it, but it
is nothing compared to the brutality
of baseball during the constructive
period.
my head has been so sore from
being hit that could not think and
my hands SO sore from catching
that I could not hold an orange
tossed from a distance of six feet.
1.-THE greatest catcher ever
knew was Buck Ewing of the
Giants. He led in batting, running,
catching, fielding and base stealing,
and he could think quicker than any
other man ever saw in game.
"Of the pitchers l have known,
Amos Rusie leads them ALL and he
promised to make record no
pitcher in baseball, unless he were
a genius, could Guido; but poor old
Amos disappeared. I think Tim

At PORTLAND

(By United Press Leased Wire)
PORTLAND, Ore, March s.
With mild temperature and bright
sunshine, Portland is eagerly
awaiting the beginning of it's first
aviation meet, which is scheduled
for this afternoon at the Country
club grounds.
Charles X. Hamilton, the Amer
lean aviator, will be the star per-
former at the meet, the program
calling for several flights in his
Curtiss biplanes this afternoon, and
on Sunday and Monday. Hamilton
has abandoned his proposed at
tempt to circle Mount Hood. This
flight would mean that he would
have to cover a distance of 120
miles.
The first attempted flight will be
made by Walter E. Donnelly, a
local aviator, in the Curtiss BIZ
plane owned by E. Henry Wemme.
Hamilton will then appear and will
circle the field for Is minutes. 9th.
er flights will follow by Hamilton,
demonstrating his complete control
over the air in aerOplanes.

1t is reported that Paulhan,
whose brilliant work captivated
California, will be the shining star
of the meet in this city in April,
while other and hardly less noted
aviators will run their machines
over the aerial course laid out by
the aviation promoters.
Auchinvole stipulates in his &C
ceptance of Recreation park as the
scene of the meet that the park is
to be used for no other event of
the kind prior to his dates. Local
promoters have been quietly plan
ming for an aviation meet at the
fair grounds, but Auchinvole has
probably cornered the market so

ed, and will have the honor of Civ

best in the business. Yet there
was nothing stirring on pennant
avenue Apparently the fates had
things iced for the team.
Last fall Mcclure went scouting
far and wide, from the Pacific to
the Atlantic and from the gulf to
the copper country. He CLEANED
en- route, and one of the cherries
he plucked was Frank SCHNEIDER
of Portland, Ore, trainer of the
Multnomah Athletic club.
SCHNEIDER is 26, and his name
is familiar to men who follow ath-
letics and especially those who
watch the do'ngs of the knights of
the cinder path.
1t was SCHNEIDER who prepped
Forrest Smithson. champion Olym-
plan hurdler. in the early days of
1908. SCHNEIDER learned the game
from Bill Haywood, trainer of the
Oregon university track team;
Walter Christy. the Stanford train
err. and Jack King, the foot racer
huff sed.
In addition to signing Schmieder
Mcclure picked up youngsters not
ed for their lightness of foot and
their ability to slam the ball and
handle it.
Then he cut adrift some dead
wood that clogged the wheels of
his ball machine. In other words,
he canned the slow ones.

me, Il can scarcely understand how
we went through the ordeal of a
game. Before gloves were used, the
catcher suffered unbelievable tor
tire. On hot day, when the blood
circulated freely. the catchers
hands would swell about the third
inning. When swelling started, the
pain caused by the impact with the
ball decreased, because the swollen
