ALLENTOWN. Pa, Oct when
Eddie Fuliens told his mother he in
tended teaching school after he grad
uated, the mater was well pleased
She admitted teaching was an admir-
able career for her son.
So Eddie began teaching the youna
idea but something. perhaps the old
Dutch pugnacity, kept gnawing away
at him. Anyway Eddie passed up the
rod and answered the call In his blood
Despite parental storms Eddie went

ADVANCE DOPE ON BIG
SERIES NOT EVEN CLOSE

Hughey Fullerton has been getting
himself In deeper and deeper on this
prediction business ever since he was
fortunate enough 20 combine his wide
knowledge OF the game with a lot OF
luck and forecast correctly the out
come of the White Sox-Cub series In
1906.
He had 1t all figured out Monday
morning that the Cubs would win the
first game OF the worlds series by a
score OF to g The score was 70

There is, perhaps only one man on
earth who had the nerve TO throw
John l.. Sullivan out OF room at a
time when Sullivan was In his prime
and held the worlds heavyweight
title, and that man Is Charles H.
Smith, the old.time proprietor OF the
American House in Denver, says the
Denver Times.
The sale OF the American House
few days ago has revived the story
and II is now going the rounds. Al
though the episode happened over a
quarter of century ago. II Is Still
fresh in the minds OF the old-timers,
for at the time IL was given all KINDS
OF space in the newspapers through
out the country.
II was either Christmas or New
Year day in 1884 that Sullivan and
his party came to Denver. The great
John l.. was quite young man at
that time In fact. he was In his prime,
having knocked out Paddy Ryan a
couple of years before and thereby
won the worlds heavyweight title.
Flushed with the success of his vic
tory. Sullivan was touring the country
Offering money TO all who would stay
more than four rounds with him
When II came TO physique, Sullivan
had little on Smith. The latter was
robust sort OF chap, handy with his
fists. though he never fought In the
prize ring. Husky as he was, he was
greatly handicapped by Sullivan's i'm
mense weight.
The story goes that Sullivan and
| Jack Glade had just come from Lead
vile, where they had cleaned up a
number OF saloons and painted the
town red. They decided 10 continue
on their roundup. so they visited a
number OF saloons, In each OF which
Sullivan made his usual den OF his
willingness to put any man to sleep
inside OF four rounds.
Eventually they landed in the Ar
cade. the old-time gambling house on
larimer. near 10Th street There they
started in to clean mp the house The
result was that score OF husky min
ers. who happened 10 be In the place
at the time threw the two disturbers
out OF the building.
Without his hat, Sullivan ran to
the American House, two blocks dis
tant. IL happened to be rather early
in the day. and Smith Thompson, one
OF the old.time hotel clerks. was be-
hind the desk. Up 10 the desk Sui
livan ran, and. bringing down his fist
on the counter. shouted: Il want a
gun"
II happened that Mr.. Smith. the
proprietor of the place, was standing
ri the side OF the desk. reading a
newspaper He paid no attention to
the clustering champion OF the world
until he continued his demands for a
| gun. 80 that he could return to the
Arcade and accomplish with the
shooting iron what he had failed to
accomplish with his fists.
AS Sullivan continued to get louder
in his demands. Mr.. Smith stepped
from behind the counter Without
saying a word he grabbed the mighty
John l.. by the coat collar and back
of his trousers. and in less time than
IL takes TO tell he hustled him TO the
front door and threw him out.
When the worlds champion manag-
ed to recover from his surprise and
pick himself of the sidewalk. he rush
ed back TO the hotel office. and. with
| a roar that could be heard block
away, proceeded toward cleaning up
the place with Mr.. Smith.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct 19-Fhe Chi
cago Cubs are beaten club. They
may not admit IL, but they constitute
q vanquished outfit right now. When
Mondays game came TO an end, the
American league partisans were will
ling to concede the Cubs had a chance,
but never again. They feared the
prowess OF the mighty Mordecai
\ Brown. Brown the three-fingered mys-
ttery who had shared honors with
4 fMathewson for many years as the
best pitcher In the National league.
But they fear Brown no more. He
worked Tuesday and his offerings
seemed made to order for the Ath-
letics.
= Ii the Cubs could not win with
such pitching as Coombs placed on
display their chances for winning
even one game OF the series are de-
cidedly remote, for OF all the eccen-
trio pitching exhibitions ever shown
In worlds series that of which
Coombs was guilty Tuesday was the
worst.
but the Cubs have gone back. as
the writer predicted several weeks
ago. Tney are 20 per cent. slower
THAN they were when they conquered
the Tigers the last time. Their for
mer phenomenal pitchers have gone
back 80 pei cent. History Is merely
repeating itself. The members OF the
Cubs are human beings, like the rest
of their fellow professionals. II
could not b. expet led they could go
on forever without showing the signs
Of age. Consequently the Cubs toGay
find themselves In the same situation
that Boston. the Giants. Tigers and
Maps have been IL.

GREATEST
CATCH EVER
PULLED OFF

The greatest individual feat ever
performed was one by which Bill
Lange, now retired. saved game
for Chicago and 5000 for himself in
Washington, in 1895. says an old-time
player.
There Is an odd story connected
with the play. Lange had missed q
train In Boston two days before. fail.
ed TO reach New York in time TO play
there and Anson had fined him 800
Thereupon he missed train ia
Washington-arrive on the grounds
after the teams had practised and
just In time TO play, and for that An
son fined him another 500.
The game that afternoon went
eleven innings, Chicago scoring one
run in the eleventh. There were
two men out and runner on the
bases. when Kip" Selbach. then one
OF the hardest hitters in the business
smote the BAH a terrific blow and
sent IL flying over Lange's head to
ward the center field fence. The hit
seemed sure home-run but Lange. a
man weighing 225 pounds, turned and
without looking. sprinted desperately
straight out toward the fence, racing
with the flying ball
AT the last instant, as the ball was
going over his head Lange leaped,
stuck up both hands, turned a somer'
sault and crashed against the fence.
The boards splintered, one entire pan.
ell crashed outward, and out OF the
wreckage crawled Lange, holding the
ball in his hand. and the crowd went
mad. Lange came limping in, with
the crowd standing on seats shouting
and he said TO Anson. Fines GO
Cap? Nope said Anson, and the
catch had saved the big fielder 5000. "
