big league manager had his
8 pick today between a squad of
veteran pitchers and a squad of
youngsters which would he Sc
lect? Would he take Marquard, Alex
ander, Gregg, johnson, Ford and Joe
Wood in preference to AIathewson,
Bender, Plank, Rucker, Coombs and
Walsh:
Either crowd, with good support,
would be capable of winning a pen
nant if they were all in condition at
the same time. but some managers are
inclined to the belief that six star
pitchers cannot be worked in turn and
kept in good condition.
Baseball men, as a rule. accept with
out argument the proposition that Ma
thewson is the greatest pitcher in the
world. and they base it upon the fact
that he has been great for a decade. 1t
seems that the old followers of the
game, while always willing to admit
young pitchers capabilities whenever
he displays them, do not place a man
in the category of the truly great until
he has established himself by more
than one or two years service.
MarQuard, Alexander and Gregg are
counted wonderful young pitchers, but
they are first year men.
Ed Walsh is certainly a great pitch
err Year after year the big spitballer
has gone along and stood all tests. Ma
poleon Rucker is counted truly great
Bender and Plank will have everlast-
ing place in the hall of fame. These,
too, stablished their class.
One of the new generation of pitch
ers who are still regarded in the light
of youngsters, but who cannot be de-
MED recognition as among the greatest
of the time, is Walter Johnson, the
Washington speed marvel. There are
many people who believe that johnson
is the best pitcher in the country to-
day, but that sort of proposition would
always provide long argument
Marquard and Gregg, left handlers,
have had two notable first years
But will they still be regarded as
great i've years from nowf

BOYS ON A STOCK EXCHANG gle
Amsterdam Youths Privilege for Dis
covery of Gunpowder Plot-En-
Joyed Nearly 300 Years.

OF the many quaint and curious
customs, traditions and privileges pre-
vailing in Holland none is more ex-
traordinary than a certain privilege
that has been enjoyed by the boys OF
Amsterdam for nearly 800 years, the
Boston Evening Transcript remarks.
At a fixed time each summer these
boys gather by the hundreds in the
great square called the Dam, situated
In the center of the city. Each boy
has a drum slung over his shoulder.
Facing this square is the stock ex-
,hange, and on the occasion in ques-
ton just as soon as the days business
Is over as many of the boys as posi-
BILE crowd into the building. They
proceed to the floor of the exchange,
where, pursuant to this old custom,
they are permitted to march about.
singing and beating their drums
The origin of this custom. it is said,
is as follows:
crowd of boys playing in the Dam lost
a ball in the canal that in those days
skirted one side of the square. One
OF the lads, while climbing in among
the piles on which the building stood
found instead of his ball a boat moor
ed in a dark corner and loaded with
boxes of gunpowder. This showed
clearly enough what was afterward
ascertained with certainty, the inten-
ton of the Spanish conspirators to
blow up the stock exchange while it
was crowded. as it was every day,
with the leading citizens of the city
The boy who stumbled upon the
gunpowder at once hurried to the
town authorities with his news. The
boatload of explosives was quietly
sunk in the canal and the Spanish
plot thus frustrated.
When the burgesses asked the boy
what reward he desired for the serv-
Ice he had rendered the town he re-
piled that so long as there was a
stock exchange in Amsterdam the boys
of the town would like to be permit
ted to make the floor Of the exchange
their playground during certain
part of the year. The request was
granted; and so the custom survives.
