OLD TIME PITCHING FEATs.
Getzein of Detroit Won Five Straight Games in the 1887 Series With St. Louis.

The pitching performances of the recent worlds series recalls to old tim CTS famous battles between star pitch CTS in championship games of years gone by. says a writer in the Pitts burg Sun.
 Charles Koenig, who pitched pro- fessional ball under the name of King 25 years ago, figured in one of the greatest twirling duels on record be- tween worlds championship pitchers Geonig. for St Louis, and Timothy Keefe, for New York, hooked up In a great battle in 1888. Corniskey's St. Louis Browns won the American asso- citation pennant that year, while New York won the National league cham pionship.
 King was a speed merchant. He was known all over the circuit as Cannon Ball King, and few catchers cared to handI his hot shots. Big gloves were unknown in those days and catcher worked behind the bat with a small Keefe beat King in the first game of the 1SS series, the score being to l. Each team made thret hits Keefe also knocked King down in the second five hts; keefe won the third game, 6 to f. This time the New York club batted King for nine hits Keefe won four games for New York in that se- ries, defeating Chamberlain in one game. Charles King Is now a prosper ous builder in St Louis
 "Keefe's defeat or ComisIey's St. Louis Browns four times was excelled by Charles Getzein of Detroit in the memorable series of 1887. Getzein and Catcher Ganzel Of Detroit formed famous battery. Getzein was a night handler with speed and splendid con- trol- He became the hero of the 1887 series unexpectedly. The St Louis Browns figured Getzein would be easy picking. Lady Baldwin, a sensational Southpaw pitcher. was the Detroit pitcher ComiSkey's men feared But Baldwin was not right sand Getzein was called upon to do the Eulk of the work. He won five games from the Browns, including a great IS inning battle over Bobby Carutlers that re- ally won the series for Detroit The Browns never came back after Get zein hung the Indian sign on Carruth-

tsftrock and StovaII Kept Him Going
 Out at Third.

Just to show how easy it is for the
 base runner to be made to look bad, l recall play on Dave Altizer when
 he was with the Chicago club Chicago
 was playing Cleveland and Altizer had reached hrst on single The next
 batter gave the hit and run sign to Dave, and he started for second at a 10-second clip when the pitcher began to wind up. George StovalI who was playing first for Cleveland, was hold Ing the base runner on, and was only a step or two from first when the bat ter hit a terrific line drive right into his hands It was only a matter of taking a few strides and touching first to double Altizer, which he did.
 It seems to me that Nick Altrock Was coaching at third for Chicago at the time He never missed a chance to See the humo- in any situation, and in his loud voice he frantically told Altizer to slide Dave followed in structions and hit -the dirt going at full speed. Stovall was quick to grasp the situation Realizing that Altizer thought the ball was hit on he ground, Stovall carried out his part of the joke by hurling the ball to sec end. As he intended, the throw was wild. and went to left center. Seeing this, Altizer was on his feet in a min ute and on his way to third. Joe Birmingham made the throw to Bill Bradley, but 1t arrived late. When Bradley received it he. made a desper-' ate dive for Altizer, who was then re- clining on the base. I vas umpiring the game that day, and keeping as sober a face as I could. loudly de- ciared him out.
 The crowd by this time was in an uproar over the play. Altizer protest ed strongly against the decision, and Followed me across the diamond from third to first, telling me just how fierce the ruling was on the play. had to threaten all kinds of dire things before he went to the bench.
 Then he learned what had happened, that he had been doubled off first base or line drive Altizer was severely roasted for this play. simply because he carried out the instructions of his coacher. set rule in baseball. Those V ho could see the humor in the situa- tier thought it a good joke on Dave but some of the bleacherites wAo were not close enough to be wise to the antics of the coacher labeled it as a prize bonehead play Altizer was sub jected to much criticism, yet he really was in no way to blame. It was some time before he forgave any of the fel- lows who had a part in the episode.

 kept Doyle Going.
 The intent on the part of Collins and Barry was to deceive Doyle into be- lieving that Baker was handling n mirably. Doyle stopped once as fl in doubt and then hurried on. Very like ly a shift in the conversation by Bar ry and Collins caused it. In all prob ability the two of them. in order to make Doyle believe that Baker had funbled the ball and allowed it to @et away, directed their talk at Bris Lord in left field. Get the ball to third, Bris." was perhaps the sentence that caused Doyle to start on his way again.
 All these things were happening in the space of a few seconds. Natural ly, the Philadelphia rooters were hay ing the time of their life over Doyle'E dilemma. The noise they made was certainly deafening. The Giant sup porters were making an equal amount of noise in an effort 10 explain the situation to Doyle. As a result, Doyle heard absolutely nothing. Had he been been saved. He had such a running start, however. double play might have resulted under any conditions. Anyway, Larry did not come to until he saw Baker throw the ball to Davis snd the umpire wave both men out. fully roasted, much of which was un- deserved.

AMERICAN LEAGUE POSITIONS
 BETTER FILLED THAN NATIONAL
Only in Shortsops and Catchers Does
 Lynch's League Excel.

Comparisons between the two major leagues will go on until the end or
 time. or ssuch time as two major
 leagues will cease to exist, says the
 New York Sun. They hardly can be of the same strength. First one. then
 the other. has the edge, but never with one having the edge in all positions.
 For the most rart they are as nearly
 have equal opportunities from which to
 recruit material. Wood. Ford, John
 son. Walsh, Bender, Cromhs and Gregg
 are a better seven than the best Ma
 tIonal league seVen-say, Mathewson,
 Rucker. Alexander, Adams. Harmon
 Cole and Brown.
 The advantage lies with the Nation al league in backstOpE, with Meyers, Archer. Dooin, Gibson, Bresnahan and Mclean pittsd against Stanage, Thom- as, Street, Sullivan, Sweeney and Lapr,
 but by the narrowest of margins, Mey- CTS Archer and Dooin are better than any American league three- The Am-
 erfcan league has in Chase, McInnis and Sainer three first basemen who are more accomplished gualdians of the first corner and players of more versatile usefulness than any three in the National league, and Chase is the brightest light in all the first base galaxy. The National league, how ever, has more good first baseinen tha the American-Merble, Daubert, Hob litzel and Kone tchy. None, however, is as good as Chase, and no three as good ss the American league trio. The sit- uation at second base is similar. The National league has more good men, but none as good as the best in the American. Collins and Lajoie excel z ny secon1 bfsemen in the National, but whereas the American has these two, the National has Doyle. Evers. Huggins, Miller and Knabe.
 The National league is better equip ped with shortstops. It has Tinker, Bridwell, Doolan, Wagner and Haus- CT. Aside from Barry and Bush-het- ter than anybody in the National ex- cept Wagner and Tinker-and McI'ride and possibly the Boston Wagner, the Ieaguers are ar ordinary lot. The best National league third base men are Herzog. J. Doyle, Mowrey and Byrne. The tiptoppers of the Amerf- can league are hut two-Baker and Harry Lord They are better two than any National league two, but the National leaguers all crowd them closely and there are mere of them
 Outf1elders of the first magnitude are mere numerous in the American league. There is no group in the Ma ford, Hooper. Cree, Speaker. Milan and Jackson. not even Magee, Sheckard, Hoffman.

COLLINS AND BARRY MADE
 DOYLE LOOK FOOLISH.
Athletics Had Often Pulled the Play
 Before, Says Evans.

Baseball abounds in freak plays Sel- com do they fail to add zest to the game. if a visiting player happens to be the victim, the home team is given credit for having pulled something foxy. If home player is the offender, he is usually looked on as a piece of solid ivory, says Umpire Billy Evans.
 In the fourth game Of the world s series Eddie Collins and Jack Barry pulled one on Larry Doyle that made the Giant leader look foolish. Phila- delphia fans reveled in the situation. Gotham rooters berated Doyle. Fact by Collins and Barry, but not nearly so dumb play by Doyle as most fans thought have seen Barry and Col lins pull the same play a half dozen times in the American league Season. Some of the bratniest base runIters in the league have been fooled even more badly than Doyle.
 Hit and Run.
