New York, May 19--A man, no mat ter in what walk of life, who can up- set traditional laws of nature is worthy at least of more than passing regard. One who can go on doing it, year after year, should be an object of universal wonder As such let us introduce Ed Walsh the mainstay of the Chicago American league clubs pitching staff
 Walsh is one of the most wonderful pitchers that the game has ever devel- oped In point of years of service, Ed Walsh has a long way to go to equal the unprecedented record of Boston's grand old man. Compared even with Mathewson the White Sox marvel is still confronted with several years in which he must deliver his present pug afing brand. Yet the fellow seems equal fo the task. He is every bit as good at fhis writing as at any time in his bril- liant career and there are those who hailed him three seasons back as the most effective and capable tosser in the game
 Just look what this veteran is doing for Callahan's White SoX. Single handed he put Chica go's pennon out to the front from the seasons getaway. Of the first IS games played Walsh worked in nine He didn't pitch the full time in each, but those he didn't start were the ones that really proved the hardest tests. He was called upon to save the day when some stable mates wavered. Therein lies Walsh's great value.
 Since 1905 Walsh had pitched prac- tically a third of all the White SoX's games. Fifty in a season is nothing for him. He'll turn off that many on his his own hook and finish half as many moro for less fortunate mates. He won a pennant and worlds cham pionship for the White SoX in 1906. He won a city series from the Cubs last fall. No matter what sort of a club may be behind him, Walsh Is always up among the leading pitchers of the major leagues. When his team finishes at all close to the leaders it Is safe betting that Walsh is the leading pitch- CT of his company or mighty close to it. It takes a near approach to shutout ball to stop this wonderful tosser in his average game.
 Is it any wonder then that Charles A. Comiskey regards Ed Walsh as the greatest asset in baseball? During the league meetings in this city last De- cember the old Roman declared that he had just one player that he could not be induced to part With at any cost. ssThis player" he said lis Ed Walsh. I can and do say that he is the great est pitcher of history. New York will disagree with. me lon that score. l. do not for a minute lost sight of Mathew son. But great as Matty is, I believe Walsh greater"
 In many respects the cases of Matbewson and Walsh are quite similar. For Wears Matty upheld the pitching burdens of the Giants on. his own broad shoulders. He not only did his share. his regular turn. but served as relief man in every important crisis; just as Walsh has done and is still doing. But never in the heyday of his career was the illustrious Mathewson such an ''iron man. as Ed Walsh.
 If had Walsh" declared Frank Chance, after the White SoX had won four straight games from the Cubs, "Td win worlds championships every

New York Street Puzzles

There'is street in New York with three ends.
 If you start from Broadway on the south side of Waverly place you will come to the end of that street at Grove street If you are on the north side you will find the end at Bank street, third of a mile further on.
 This Is one of the surprises of Green wich village Folks are forever starting to go somewhere and winding up just where they started.
 It is not strange, when one remembers West Fourth and west Twelfth streets cross at right angles. So do West Fourth and West Tenth and West Eleventh streets.
 Another thing which no reasonable man can explain is why parallel Christopher and Grove streets should be numbered in opposite directions.
