Ed Walsh is the only Chicago Amer.
can pitcher who has been going good
of late, and when Jimmy Callahan
came into Comiskey's office a few days
ago the Old Roman asked him what
was wrong with the staff.
Callahan tried to get away without ex-
pressing his opinion, but Commy nailed
him down. Cal told him the only thing
the matter with the pitchers was lack
Of control.
'Put a home plate or two handy so
the boys can practice shooting the ball
over" Cal advised.
"Two days later Cal came into the
Office to get his mail. "Say, CAL" said
/ Comiskey, 81 took your advice and
bought $5S worth of home plates. I've
got one in right field, one in left, one
near third base and another near first
base, and Pm going to take up the
whole shooting match"
"Why?' asked Callahan.
Because If l don't those wild pitch
ers will have as an excuse that they
thought they We're throwing at one of
the plates they use in practice"

M'LoUGHbIN, TWO OF THE AMERICAN
CRACKS.
many years, had never been able to go
abroad in quest of the blue ribbon of
the tennis world. Melville Long, an
other Californian, took the trip to the
antipodes with Mclaughlin ih 1909,
but this season has found him away
off form.
Mclaughlin and Bundy are the Pa
ci1ic coast champions in doubles, but
were beaten twice this year by Little
and G. f. Touchard, once at Chicago
in the preliminaries to the national
doubles championship and recently in
the finals OF the New York state event
In Brooklyn.
Larned has been the most remark
able figure on the American courts
since the game was first taken up Sc
riously. He first came into prOmi-
nence in 1892. nearly twenty years
ago, when, as student at Cornell, he
won the intercollegiate title. In the
same year he was the runner up at
Newport in the national tournament to
of the championship then. In lS9495-96
he was again the runner up, and in
1901, after an absence from the game
during which he had served through
the Spanish war, he won the all com
ers' at Newport and took the challenge
match from Malcolm d. Whitman by
default.
The next year he successfully de-
Tended his title against the great Eng
lish player, II. f. Doherty, but in the
following year was beaten by II. L.
Doherty, the champion of England
For four years he did not appear IN
the tournaments, but in 1907 again
won, defeating Robert Leroy. He fol
lowed this with victories for three
straight years, accomplishing the un
precedented feat Of being champion

BRESNAHAN BEST CATCHER.
So Thinks Ira Thomas Of Athletics,
Who Saws ROGER Has No Weakness.

Ira Thomas of the Philadelphia Ath-
letics thinks Roger Bresnahan is the
greatest catcher in the game, and many
agree with the Mackman. "Bres for
mine as the greatest catcher" says
Ira "Look at him. He can do every
thing. He is a fine catcher, can throw
to bases like the deuce, is fast himself
running bases, a good hitter, and, be-
sides all this, is showing himself to be
good manager. That ought to be
enough to show that he is little bet
ter than anybody else. Next to him
comes Charlie Doom, to my mind.
And there isn't much difference be-
tween them, though I lean little to-
ward Roger"
