Konetchys, none Of them had any
thing on Larry when getting the
high, low and wide ones.
Baseball contains the names OF
many players who could show as
we'll on one corner of the diamond
as on another. but it does NOT
contain the name of player of La
joie's ability. who could 60 from bag
to bag and play each better than
any other man. and at the same
time clout the ball as only Larry
can.
And there's another thing to re.
member, and that is that Nap Ia
joie will come pretty near leading
the hard hitters of the big leagues
this year.
With the cares OF management
lifted from his shoulders, Lajoie

slamming them on the seam from

year, and maintain a pace that will
make the other high average men
dizzy. Just stick tack In this

MCALLUM AND STEVENS
TO FIGHT HERE MARCH IL

March II Is to be the date Of the
second big boxing event of the sea-
son at the s. A. A. c. outside of the
regular interclub events. Physical
Director Cisco Bulivant stated last
night that he expects to bring Nc
Callum and Stevens from Van

on this date, while O'Rourke of
Occur d'Alene will meet Lyle Nc
Coy In the third big event Of the
evening.
Ever since McCallum beat Jack
Kaye so handily at Vancouver the
early part of the season, the local
fight bugs have been crying for an
opportunity to witness the clever
Vancouyerite in action. McCallum
was Ill when the British Columbia

short time ago, which robbed the

There is nothing in baseball that
SO thoroughly arouses the specta-
tors to high pitch of excitement
as to watch runner trying to score
from third on long fly. only to see
his effort go for naught as some
great throwing outfielder whips the
ball in on line just in time to
make the put out.
1t Is by all odds the most spectac-
ular play the game affords and Is
always enjoyed by players and spec
tators alike. There are any number
of great throwing outfielders in the
game today, with whose pegging
ability 1t Is dangerous to trifle. but
without a doubt Joe Birmingham of
the Maps. all things considered. Ia
one Of the best, If not the real ar
ticle.
Any number OF instances could be
cited where Joe has performed won
iderful throwing feats, but the one
play OF this nature pulled off by
Birmingham that stands out promi.
,nently in my mind happened in Chit
}cago along toward the close of the
1908 season, at a time when every
play counted so much in the bruis-
ing fight for the flag.
The Maps were leading by one
run margin In the eighth inning.
With one down. Tannehill singled
and Smith followed with a safe
drive that set fanny" to third.
Hahn drove long fly toward
right center that made it look like a
cinch that the score would be tied.
Birmingham started after the soarer
and much to everyone's surprise,
seemed to be running too far out to
get the ball. <
In a moment, though. the policy
of Joe's play was apparent. Going
out so far gave him q chance to
circle around the pill so that when
he Strengthened out for the catch, it
gave him the added advantage of
getting running start in the direc-
ton Of home for his throw.
And what peg 1t was. "Tanny"
started just as soon as the ball had
been caught, but Joe's neg, which
never went over 10 feet from the
gre~Md at any time, hit the dirt Just
