The mysterious man, whose
face. with some of the features
obliterated, has been running on
the Times for the last two days,
was the able leader of the world s
champion Athletics. Connie Mack,
man of wealth and silence, thrice
winner of the American league
pennant, and the man who
downed the Cubs, arose from the
ranks. He was a catcher on the
Pittsburg team before he became
manager of the Milwaukee club.
When the American league in
vaded Philadelphia he threw his
fortunes into the venture. How
he has made good every fan
knows. White Elephants" Nc
Graw called the Athletics in de-
rision. Today the title is worn

he seldom placed the ball where
the batter desired 1t. He wasted
little time trying to master decep-

speed, change of pace and control
to serve the ball where it was not
wanted.
Before he started his winnine
streak, Radbourn was shown an
agreement signed by the club
owner, agreeing to give him his
release at the end of
the season IL Providence won the
flag. He wanted to get away from
town, and his earnestness can be
appreciated from his work. When
the season closed, Ned Allen,

Greatest of All Pitchers Was
''Old Hoss" Charley Radbourn

Few names are dearer to the old
time baseball fans than that of
Charlie "Old Hoss" Radbourn,
hero of the 1884 Providence team
which won the National league
pennant.
II is hard to convince the old
timers the stars of today were any
better than Radbourn, all things
considered. Certainly 1t would be
a hard task to find any latter day
pitcher who would duplicate the
herculean task which made the
name of Radbourn famous.
This feat was the pitching of 81
consecutive games, and winning 28
of them. He won Is OF his games
without a miss, shutting out Bos-
ton upon three occasions and al
lowing but one run in the esries.
His one defeat was by Buffalo,
and but five hits were made, so
he could not have been-perform-
ing poorly. Radbourn's pitching
took the pennant to Providence
After the pennant was clinched he
worked in eight games, winning
five of them. His record stands
unparalleled.
Radbourn's wonderful work
was, toward the last. the result
of grit, pure and simple. He suf-
fered untold agony. being unable
to raise his arm higher than his
shoulder, morning after morning
upon arising.
Instead of quitting, however, he
worked the harder, going to the
park hours before the other play
ers and beginning to warm up by
tossing the ball a few feet, gradu-
any increasing the distance until
he could throw TO the plate from
the outfield. uring this process
the players watched Radbourn un-
I'll he could finally throw 70 the
plate and then they would shake
their heads. Such pluck was be-
POND their ken.
Radbourn, in addition to his
wonderful pluck, possessed splen-|
lid. nay perfect control. A fa-l
