BALL FANS GALLERY

TOAD" RAM SEY.
Who Set Mark for Strike Outs, and
Was Lovingly Called Toad"


Whatever the respective merits for
the right-ha pitcher and the left
hander. there must be no question that
in at least one instance Il southpaw
came out of battle with record not
approached by the rival Finger This
estimable persons name was Ramsey
of the LouisvlIes. but if you wished to
assure him of your good will end sup
port. YOU called him lovingly Toad"
and he understood.
Mister Toad Ramsey was IN early
partisan of the strike-out method Of
retiring sides. and as this plan. when
put in practice. left little or arduous
performance for his mates. Toad was
popular little fellow YOU may be

position. and the ball had got bg him. it
would have counted as a hit off me.
Ard that's funny as after the TAN left

Mr. Toad pondercd on these matters
for quite a while and finally reached
the conclusion that the only safe way
FOR pitcher to pitch I'm order To pre-
vent the possibility Of hits (Which. says
| Mr.. Toad. may result from loose field

put outs. and there was 81 notable di-
intuition OF assists for the gallant in

| Mr.. Ramsey was justly proud of his
| fame. and paid little heed to the an
noyances his feats caused in rival clubs
| At one period Of his activities, the left
handler pitched three shut-out games
| one after another. and i'm no one of the

stand well in his old home in Port
Arthur, Texas. Petitions for his pa
role were signed by the mayor sew
cral bankers and other leading men
of that city.
Petitions for parole were also
signed by most of the leading bust
ness men of Douglas and by many
business men in Bisbee. The former
chief of police of Douglas. by whom
Russell had been employed, and all
the members of the police force, also
signed the petition. In addition
Sheriff Jack White, who knew of the
proceedings here yesterday and who
CHANGED To be in Maricopa. wired the
acting governor his approval of the
parole, saying he believed Williams
had been sufficiently punished.
Mr.. Morrison. in speaking of the
case last evening, said that usually
he did not approve of pardons and
paroles after the law had found a
conviction. but in this instance he
did. He could not recall that he had
ever had a client convicted before,
for whom he had sought executive
clcmcncy afterward. but i'll this case
he believed the facts warranted it.
He had only associated himself i'll
the case one day before the trial. but
from what has been learned since. he
believes the man was convicted un-
der somewhat of a misapprehension
as to his personal character and pre-
vious conduct. and that he had been
punished sufficiently.
The parole is on the usual condi-
tons of continual good conduct and
a quarterly report to the superin-
tcndcnt of the prison as TO his where
abouts and occupation, during the
term of his sentence.

II the above system is adopted, ~

1898 on the ives, side. The total sui
rnur content was 1852 grains per 100
cubic feet Of gas. No ammonia or
