Joe Finneran, the premier pitcher of
the Virginia State League, who twirled
winning ball for the Norfolk Club, is
back home, The youthful East Orange
twirler had a great season. 1t was
his first venture in professional ball,
and when he started last spring train
ing with the minor leaguers he pitched
five innings against Hal Chase and his
Yanks and allowed them but two hits
and had five strikeouts. He held Mon
treal to several scattered hits In the
four innings that he worked, and when
the league season opened he moved
down one team after the other. Mar
tin Walsh, brother of Ed Walsh, also
pitched for the Tars. He made the
trip South last April with Finneran,
and both became strong pals. Fin
neran not only won more than two
thirds of his games, having Il VIC
tories, but he established several league
records. The kid famed 10 men in
one game, which broke the previous
record of II ~strikeouts, and he also
pitched two one-hit games, which no
other twirler ever accomplished dur
ing the existence of the league.
George Cowan, another local boy
who puts in the winter in the COM
posing room Of the STAR, and who
managed Richmond in the same league,
Is also back home. Like the dozen
other local boys who made good this
season, all are glad to get back home.

" eber the benefit of every decision
hat was in any way close rather than
again bring down upon himself that
torrent of volcanic abuse.
Maybe he would, and then, again,
perchance the ebony-tinted pugilist
wouldn't stand for it, and Mr.. Weber
might leave the field kind of mussed-
up like.
But it's the novelty for which the
public at large Graves, and what more
unique could anyone ask to see than
an umpire whose decisions, good or
bad, meet with the unanimous and I'M
wavering approval of all of the fans.
Think on that. brother Fanaticus. Abe
Lincoln once said, speaking about UNI
pires, that one of them could please
some of the people all the time, all of
the people some of the time, but
couldn't fool all of the people all of
the time. Mr.. Sam Langford chal-
lenges that statement and says he is
going to please everybody all the time
cause them whut amt pleased am gut
to be pleased, and ef dey amt l jus
bus i'm in the haid."
Most ball-players are very sensitive
about being raped on the Uranium,
especially by a gent of such pugilistic
repute. Therefore when one of the
slab artists thinks "why that one split
the rubber as clean as a whistle and
imp Langford says ''bawl," with a
resignation akin to martyrdom he will
say 81 thought l could fool you on
that one, but your vision Is too Keen

tive.
Present indications are that there
will be plenty of local color to enliven
the scene.

Time: Sunday afternoon, $3.50 o'clock.
Cast of Characters: Sam Langford,
many near-brunettes.
1t is not very often that one hears
of a crowd of fans f1ocking to a base
ball game to see the umpire perform.
Umpires, as a rule, are looked upon
by most baseball lovers as a necessary
nuisance; but there are exceptions to
all rules, and the reason why the UNI
pire at next Sundays game between
the Dixie Giants and the Vailsburg
B. b. C. will be the recipient Of
bouquets instead of brickbats is that
said arbiter is no other than Sam
Langford, alias the Boston Tar Baby
and other similar n equally eloquent
soubriquets.
Imagine how Herr Weber, manager
Of the Vailsburgers, will feel If he
thinks that Mr.. Langford had given a
decision which he did not think quite
congenial to the interest and welfare
of his charges. Would he rush up to
the gladiator who has fought in his
lifetime a thousand battles and who is
soon to meet Jack Johnson, the heavy
weight champion of the world, and
with a Muggsy McGraw flow of sting
ing rebuke spit out something like this:
"Why, you big, cross-grained hop
toad, you're color blind. You're the
biggest corkhead of a Barry l ever
saw. You never need to be afraid of
drowning, because if you fell into the
water with your arms and legs bound
your head would float your whole

Hackenschmidt has left our shores
and one is shedding any tears. The
showing of the Russian Lion with
Gotch was miserable and Chicago
hasn't recovered yet. Hack sneaked
into New York like a burglar, under
an assumed name, and sailed away
with but very few knowing who he
was. He took with him, however, sew
eral thousand good American dollars,
which are calculated to assuage his
wounded pride and bad knee from
which he say he suffered. Still he
had the nerve to declare that he would
like to meet Gotch again. Perhaps he
might but it is hoped, in the interest
of sport, that such a match will not
draw more than flies.

The chances of the fans seeing a

people, particularly the gentlemen who

of both companies would have to be
pressed into service between here and

ting daffy trying to figure out the at
tendance.
One reason why Christy Mathewson
is the best-paid pitcher is shown by
the box score OF a recent New York
Philadelphia game.
The tabulated chronicle in question
indicated that Luderus, the Phtllies'
mighty swatter, struck out Jour times
during the game Mathewson pitched
for the Giants.
When Luderus was slamming his Of
ferings, Matty, after a hard game in
which the Philadelphia star was at his
best, said, ~ don't believe that chap
car hit a curve ball"
Earlier in the season Luderus had
been accommodating a batting aver
age and a reputation that threatened
to make us sit up.
Mathewson tried out his curve ball
theory a day or so g and Luderus
struck out four times in a row. He
couldn't do a thing with McGraw's
brightest star.
1t has been quite some battle between
the great pitcher and the great batter,
but the former seems to have won out,
at least until Luderus can solve his
curve over the inside corner
About this time Gotham asked,
whats the matter with Matty?' The
metropolis was worried. If the peer
less pitcher was losing his grip it was
easy to see the McGrawites shooting
the National League chutes. Matty
dropped five games in a row n a
banshee wall arose from the Battery
TO Fordham.
