A 100000 JOB.
Playing First Base on Pennant Win
 ming Team-SeveraI Cases.

Playing first base for a pennant winning team in either big leagu is a dangerous occupation for an athlete, according to Henry P. Edwards of the Cleveland Plain Dealer who furnises some interesting dope about the hoo doos that have laid low guardians of initial sacks soon after their partici- patton in worlds championship ribe money.
 Guarding the initial sack in a worlds series appears to be big league suicide" writes Edwards. George La chance and Kitty Bransfield were the opposing first basemen when the Bos- tons and Pittsburgs engaged in their series for the worlds championship in ward. Lachance dropped to the minor leagues. while Bransfeld has been with a second division team ever since.
 Tn 1904 there was no series for the championship honOrS, but in 1905 the Athletics and Giants got together. Me Gam held down first for New York and Harry Davis for the Athletics. Davis still holds forth for Connie Boston and is now a member of the Milwaukee A. A. team.
 s'The White Sox and Cubs had their famous Chicago battle in 1906. Jiggs Donohue was one of the White SoX heroes and the work he showed at first entitled him to a niche in the baseball hall of fame. Just two years later he was only substitute and three years AdICi HdS LAoAu LO W WHICH is now ready to send him to the minor leagues. Frank Chance was the first base occupant for the Cubs He is still there. Being manager, he is liable to stick quite a while if he remains on good terms with Charley Murphy.
 Then came the two series with the Cubs and Detroit Tigers with Chance and Claude Rossman as the opposing first seekers. Chance is still on the job, but Rosman failed to last through last season and will play with Columbus in the A. A. if he plays at all this year.
 This brings the fan up to the series of 1909, when the Pirates engaged the Tigers. Bill Abstein covered first for Pittsburg and Tom Jones for the Fig CTS. Abstein 'Merkled' himself out of his position and was sold recently for the waiver price, s1,500 to the St. Louis Browns. Jones is still member Of the Tigers. but rumors are rife in Detroit that Pete Lister is slated to get the place. Tom himself is not of the opinion that he will be wanted, for he tried to land a minor league berth as manager last month";

MatheWson Without Restrictions Big Six Signs but Can Play Basketball and Indoor Base ball-san Francisco have Featherweisht Fight.

New York. Jan. 27.-Christy Mathew son signed with the New York Ma tionals for another season today after first receiving permission from Presi- dent Brush to play indoor baseball and basketball during the off season. if he wished. Those who signed with the New York Americans today were Catcher Criger and Shortstop Roach
 President Brush denied the report that he is to retire from the New York National league club, and said that he hoped that Fred M. Knowles, who has been mentioned as his suc- cessor, will in the near future be phy- sically able to resume his old duties. Knowles is now in the Adirondacks, trying to recover his health. Pending his return, William M. Gray, who for twenty years has been a theatrical manager, will act as business mana ger of the Giants.
 Nevertheless, it is positively asserted here that John T. Brush will resign next month and that Knowles will be- come his successor. A year ago Brush told the late Harry Pulliam that, un- less pressure was brought to bear on him, Knowles would not be retained by the New York club in any capacity. The annual meeting of the New York club will demonstrate who owns the organization and whether Brush or Freedman is the controlling power.

BEST PITCHERS DON'T ALWAYS
 FOOL THE BEST EATERS.
Some Lesser Light UusuaIIy Has #
 on the Star Batsmen.

It Is not the best pitchers who fool the best batsmen. Upon the other hand, the real slugger has often his best days against the kings of the pitching department, while he makes holy show of himself when facing some twirIer who Is in rare luck if he finishes a season with half of his games credited to the winning column.
 For instance, Ed Konetchy, the slug ging first baseman of the St. Louis Cardinals, regards Mathewson of the the Cardinals swatter had little or no trouble in touching up Big Six
 But it wasn't Mathewson, Brown. Overall. Reulbach, McQuillen or Cam nitz who got Koneys goat last season. Not to any appreciable extent, anyhow. Koney nearly broke his back one day trying to connect with the slnnts of the Quakers. In fact, Earl famed Ed him heaps of trouble verey time he worked against Bresnahan's outfit.
 Just as the pitchers have staJi sd Koney, the first baseman has studied the. pitchers. He says that Mathew sons fade a way is the most effective ball that was ever pitched.
 Corridor has a peach of a curve too," says Koney. "He uses a wet one and sends it over like lightning I thing his damp 'twisters are even more effective than Bugs Raymond's best breaks.
 "Ames of the Giants has the bes+ assortment of curves ever seen, but his control is imperfect. Frommc IS chief of all deceivers with a speedy ball that fools most batters until too late to reach it. Nap Ruclcer of the Superbas works a fast one in close that e;-iashes batting percentages when it is wcrkiEg right. Last season lie fGn- ned te Of Us in one game.
 "M0rde cai Browns control is his greatest asset. He has a peach of a fast breaking curve that bothers the best of 'em, but it is his ability to land it right where the batter doesn't want 1t that makes him a leader. He has sand enough to floor the ocean and isn't afraid of the worst slugger that ever lived. Besides that, he knows the weakness of every batsman in the league"

PENNEY THE FIRST
 FROM RAH RAH RANKS.
How the College Boy Called Dad
 CIarke's Bluff.

In the mind of many baseball fans there still fingers a fixed and ineradi- cable belief that the college ball player added to a professional club is an odd ity and conspicuous proposition If they read of a college mans signing with a big league team they expect to see a wild eyed youth with long, float ing hair, little cap set upon the ex- treme back of his dome, and a bunch of educated language bristling with phrases too abstrusely complicated for anyone outside of college to under stant.
 This was correct, perhaps-long ago. Not nowadays. Nix. Play that one with copper. The collegian who joins big league ball club in the present generation isn't that kind of "a darling.
 It is said that Fred Penney was the first collegian who made both the pro- fesslonal players and the fans compre- hend what an up to date varsity man was really like. He did it with ven- geance, too, and the inimitable Dad Clarke was the goat
 Penney had just joined the Boston team, and Clarke was about to pitch a game against Selee's performers. Dad had heard of Tenney's signing and de- c1ded that he would scare the tender mammals boy right off the lot. He hunted for Penney, approached him during practice, and remarked with a terrible growl and savage glare: Say. you college lobster, you cheap imita- sion, you four-iushing, rah-rah, you WllIle-boy from the ology class, what business have you got around here mixing up with men?"
 Penney turned. a fierce eyed figure, with black struggling hair waving over pair of vicious eyes. Sizing Clarke up for a minute, he began by squirting torrent of tobacco juice all over Dads shoes. Then turned loose a flood of explosives that curled Clarke up, leaving him in a dazed and helpless mass. When Dad came to he cried to Fred Knowles: Say, that guy never went to no college. That tough gazabo never even went to night. school"
 The collegian who breaks into the big league is usually from the smaller colleges, the jerlxwater places where the students mix manual labor with their trigonometry. Men who can af- ford the pace of Yale, Princeton or Harvard as a rule are too well off to need a baseball contract and on grad uating, step right into business at their fathers offices. There have been some eminent Yale and Harvard men in the big leagues, but not many.

The second leg of the match, consisting of seven games, is to be rolled here at the Rose alleys next week, and Allie will need to be at top form, as he must win six of the seven games to take down the purse of $50 which is hung up.
 A good sized crowd was at the Wa terbury alleys to see the two stars, roofing hard for Teller, who got off in the lead by taking the first game. Murphy evened it by copping the sec ond, but Teller took the next two, giv ing him a lead of three games to one when the match was half over.
 Murphy made a strong bid for the fifth game by putting down 115, his best string of the evening, but Teller beat it out with 125. On the sixth it was tie, 91 to 91, but Teller took the next two. For the final to decide the tie Murphy split the wood for 113. beating Teller's 97.
 On total pinfall, which, however, does not figure in this series, Teller beat Murphy, S21 to S6S. The Water bury man also got the high single of 125.

Half Dozen of the Rear Guard Affix
 Their Signatures.

So far six of the Washington team have signed contracts for the next sea son. They include Tom Crooks, Bob Unglaub. Doc Gessler, Herman Schaef- fer. Miller and Yohe.
 The fact that Miller and Yohe have signed contracts bears out the infor- Zion that the youngsters will be given a thorough trial by Manager McAleer before being allowed to drift back to the minors if they fall short of major league requirements.
 Little AilIer's nerve carried him through last season, and ex- Manager Cantillon was positive at the end of the season that he would be a valua- ble man for the Nationals this year. Yohe also displayed great confidence in himself and this, too made a hit with the ex-manager. Just how these two players will size Up to McAleer's ideas remains to be seen
