nam, the Oxford Rhodes scholar,
who threw the hammer 151 feet 5
inches and won the meet for Eng
land. Putnam was secretly married
to New Orleans girl, Miss Claire
Edwards, whom he had met abroad
just before the meet. He intended
TO sail at once with his bride, but
the illness of his mother prevented.
Then, knowing that his marriage
would disqualify him as Rhodes
scholar and realizing that he would
be held as traitor in athletic cir
cles in England if he did not COM
pete, even against the men of his
own country, he went into the meet
and made the single point which
won for England against America.
Ad Wolgast, champion lightweight
pugilist of the world, can earn $1,000
a round if he will, and he can name
the limit of his earning power-can
say whether he wants $4,000 or
$40, according to Danny Nor
gan, Knockout Browns manager.
Morgan says he is ready to to qua
rantee this money and has 81, 900
up as forfeit that Brown will fight
Wolgast.
Pm so certain that Brown can
whip Wolgast says Morgan, that | IN
willing to match him against the
champion in either a 10 or 20 round
bout. | will guarantee Wolgast
81 900 a round for every round he
fights Brown, whether it be 10 or
20. This is more money that VOL
CAST can obtain from any club or
manager, and exceeds any sum he
has been paid to date for fight.

and Catcher James Kelly, late of the
st. Paul club of the American asso-
citation, but now of the Pittsburg
club of the National league This
famous battery cost President Bar
ney Dreyfuss of the Pirates the cool
sum of $4,000. OF this, S22, 500
was paid for the pitcher and $12, 500
for the catcher.
This fabulous amount breaks all
records in baseball and the purchase
OF this battery recalls to the minds
of the fans that sensation of more
than 20 years ago when John Clark
son and Mike Kelly were bought by
Boston from Chicago. Boston paid
$2O,00O for this famous pair, which
stood as the record till the st. Paul
deal was made last week,
Promising as their futures may
look, it is doubtful if these young
sters will ever win the fame and the
glory which Clarkson and Kelly re-
flected upon the great national game.
They have their Ty Cobbs and their
Christy Mathewsons and their Hal
Chases now, but the veteran fans all
shake their heads and declare that
the baseball diamond will never
again know two such men as Clark
son and Kelly.
Both are dead, poor fellows. Both
died practically unknow and almost
without friends. AS battery this
Kelly-Clarkson combination never
has been approached. They inven-
ted most of the tricks which all of
the modern day stars are using to
advantage and which some of the
fans consider new.
O'Toole and the namesake of the
wonderful old Boston and Chicago
catcher are both youngsters. Up to
the present season they were un-
known outside of the league in which
they played, but during the past
three months each has been making
such wonderful record that they
began to attract the attention of
several of the big league teams.
They started in to bid for the
services of this far heralded battery.
The bidding opened up brisk and
started to get more brisk every day.
Finally every club save New York
and Pittsburg dropped out and Pitts
burg finally stole march on New
York by offering s22, 800 for
O'Toole. This offer was accepted
and the deal for the pitcher was
closed.
Then O'Toole began to get home
sick. He wanted his old side part
ner and running mate Kelly, with
him. Dreyfuss looked up the dope
and discovered that O'Toole was
not an effective pitcher unless he
had Kelly to catch him. This
1
started another deal and more bid
ding was in order. Dreyfuss again
had the edge and he landed the
backstop for S12, 800.
Back in the National league the
O'Toole- Kelly combination is known
as the Millionaire battery" The
youngsters have joined the Pirates
and will be given their first tryouts
within the. next couple of days.
Pittsburg is now right behind Chi
cago for National league honors, and
Dreyfuss says that if O'Toole and
Kelly win the National league pen
nant for him, he will consider that
he got the battery at a bargain for
S35, 900.
How near the American came to
winning the recent Harvard Yale
and Oxford Cambridge games in
England was told on the arrival
last night of the steamship Canad-
ian, which brought George E. Put.

How the Rev. Mr. Johnston, Scot

of Famous Editors"
A member of Mr.. Johnston's congre-

preacher published his new book he
asked this member to bring 1t under

quickly replied. but you can butter

consequence she was summoned TO
the dining room. Cook" said the
dean in a pleasant voice. "this leg of
mutton is overdone; take 1t back and
do 1t less"
Impossible. your reverence ex'
