WHY CATCHERS SLOW UP.
Constant Stopping Harden Muscles of
Logs and lnteSferes With Runnina.

CONSTANT Stoopins Harden Muscles Of
Logs and Interferes With Running.
Why do catchers slow up after sew
eral seasons service in the big
league? asks a fan. A logical reason
Is given. 1t follows: "Few catchers
are fast on their feet after they have
been in the game a few years, and
this failing is attributed to the fact
that the man behind the bat does a
lot of STOPPING and thus hardens the
muscles. Of his legs in such a way as
to interfere with his running. Now
and then young catcher breaks in
who can step around the bags at
good clip, but as a rule he loses his
speed after a short time and becomes
slow. Today there are few "catchers
who have speed on the bases. Ain
smith is perhaps the best runner of
any of the catchers in the major
leagues, and Eddie has not been in
the game long enough to slow up"

BASEBALL POINTERS

] Umpire Johnstone says that in the
last nine years he has seen only three
games in which but one ball was used
Experts declare that Barry of the
4 Athletics gets in front of batted balls
better than any other shortstop. Not
only does he get in front of them, but
+ he gets them.
Titus, Philly outfelder, wears a
toothpick in his mouth when at bat,
and Umpire Johnstone declares if a
ball ever hits the ornament he will call
foul strike on the sorrel top.
Frank Bowerman, the veteran catch
r er, says Larry Cheney, Louisville
pitcher, is the best spitbal pitcher in
the game, Bowerman has caught many
'spitball pitchers. He caught Cheney
when both We're with indianapolis last
season.
George Jackson, the new outfieider
3of the Boston Rustlers, who has been
making things hum since breaking into
the majors, is no relation to Joe Jack
son, save that both belong to the broth
erhood of swat.
Nick Maddox has been pitching so
<well for the Kansas City club that the

ENGLISH OPPOSE BIG FIGHT.
Think Johnson Wells Bout Slaughter
and May Call Il Off.

Opposition to the proposed fight
between Jack Johnson and England's
alleged champion, Bombardier Wells,
is increasing to such a degree that the
promoters may decide to declare it Of.
English sporting critics say that Wells
hasn't had sufficient ring experience to
tackle the grinning negro, who stands
to draw down small fortune for his
end of this affair
In pointing out reasons why Wells
cannot hope to make a respectable
showing if Johnson tries, attention is
called to the interesting fact that Ed
die McGoorty of Oshkosh, Wis, a
|middleweight, outpointed Petty Officer
Curran in a twenty round bout in
Dublin. Then Curran knocked out the
much abused Gunner Moir in two
rounds, and, sad to relate, Moir put
Wells to sleep in three rounds. On
that sort of pugilistic dope it's no
wonder that Englishmen do not relish
the JohnsonWells match, so called.

the story:
Myers showed Rube a fake
telegram from McGraw, asking
Myers to report to the Giants at
$500 a month. Myers borrowed
80 cents of Rube to pay for the
message. He borrowed another
half dollar to wire McGraw that
he could bring Marquard with
him.
Later Marquard paid 80 cents
for a telegram supposed to have
been sent by McGraw, saying he
would give Marquard S4OO a
month. Rube gave Myers so
cents to wire McGraw his accept
ance.
Myers told Rube they would
jump the Canton club that night.
Rube was nervous at the park.
Myers told him to act natural,
pack his clothes after the game,
check his trunk at the depot and
wait at a certain poolroom.
Bade Myers, Canton manager,
found Marquard at the pool room.
"How much did John Henry
work you for?" Bade asked.
