Vaughn in 1905, and the terrific swatting
of the big fellow materially aided the
Barons in winning the rag. With the
exception Of his hitting the most I'M

finging out at first with his left hand a
runner who had struck out on a ball
which had smashed the thumb of the

BUGS" RIVALS ''RUBE'
BY G. e. VAN LOAN

Boston off the pitching list, and just as
the clouds cleared away, bingl on the
elbow with a red-hot liner, and out goes
the RUDE with a broken bone.
At the end of last season nobody be-
lieved that McGraw would make another
effort to reform the thirsty Raymond.
It was thought that although Bugs
won 900 per cent of his games, he would
get the gate, but McGraw decided to try
again on the ground that a pitcher of
Raymond's class Is worth saving at any
cost. McGraw is willing to gamble.
Should he fail to straighten out the big
spitballist everybody will say, II told
you there wasn't any use." On the other
hand, should the private keeper keep
Bugs away from the disturbance water
and his pitching be up to his usual stand
ard, everyone will say that McGraw
showed excellent Judgment in hanging
on to his souse paw through thick and
thin.
An erratic pitcher is a hard strain on
a team. The men behind him nevor
know when he is going to blow up and
they are kept ON a strain whenever the
eccentric one works.
When Bugs goes into the box in good
condition, his head clear and his muscles
hardened by work he pitches good
enough baseball for any mans club.
His keeper has been steering him away
from the gin mills for some time-touch
wood, everybody!-and at last accounts
McGraw was hopeful that the problem
had been solved
They say the ever-loving RUDE is con-
sumed with jealousy because Bugs has
keeper. A. man. with broken wing
doesn't really need a keeper.
