The berries are not so large as the

Blossoms and fruit are found on the

from August 1 until about the end Of

I'D WALSH, king of spitball twirlers,
 says the damp curve is the surest ''fooler' that ever came out of the pitchers box.
 When I've got my splitter breaking right I can beat any ball club in the world" says the star right handler of the Chicago Americans No use try ing to bat against it; it's simply un- hitable. Larry Lajoie, Ty Cobb and all the other hitting stars of the Amer ican league will tell you the same story. Ask Lajoie about the time 1 American league championship at stake.
 Tt was back in 1908 The Cleveland Maps needed one game to win the pen nant. They had us tied in the tenth. Larry went to the bat with three men on and one man out. A hit or a long fly would have won the game and the pennant for Cleveland. Did Larry produce either? Not on your tintype. He struck out-fouled two spitters, the plate in half. I fooled the big Frenchman that day He was looking for another damp curve; thought wouldn't dare use a straight ball. But that's where I fooled him. knew he was set for a curve and pulled the un expected on him-pulled the throttle wide open and shot it over as fast as
Arizona republican., 1912-08-22

I could, and he let it go past him.
 "The splitter is a terror when it works right. One day I had Detroit in the nine hole. and you know the Tigers are some hitters. I think Cobb and Crawford are two of the greatest stickers the game ever produced. The splitter had them all standing on their heads Neither Ty nor Sam could get it out of the infield. I held them hit less for eight rounds and had two gents gone in the ninth when Osee Scheckengost muffed a foul tip. If he had only held the leather it would have meant another out and given me a no hit game against the Tigers. Schreck got the ball on his fingers and broke the digit. Osee's huff gave the batsman one more chance. He dump ed a roller to Tannehill, who had a hard play to make and missed his man. The scorer called it a hit Three days later my splitter got going right, and it was no trick to let Boston down with out hit or run.
 Best game I ever pitched. eh? One day I hooked up with Addie Joss in Cleveland, and we had grand battle on the mound. Cleveland won-score. 1 to 0. Joss let Chicago down without a hit. I held Cleveland to one bingle and whiffed sixteen Maps. Gee. it was a tough ball game to lose! The spit ter was hopping and jumping that day

MURRAY SAYS SPEAKER IS BEST PLAYER

"NOU can praise Ty Cobb, Joe Jack
 son and other great outfielders in the big leagues but none of them is in the class with Iris Speaker, the Bos- ton American outfielder," says Billy Murray, the Pittsburgh scout, whose business it is to watch and study base ball players and their records.
 Speaker is the best player on the diamond today. As a hitter, fielder, thrower and base runner he has Ty Cobb and others beaten.
 'I have seen all of the stars of twen- ty-five years and Iris is the king.
 He is only twenty three years old this young Texan-and he is getting better every year.
 Because so many of his plays on the baseball field are spectacular some fans call Speaker a grand stand player No man deserves the appel lation less Speaker is never on pa rade, rarely bothers the crowd, has few eccentricities noticeable to the root CTS and goes about his business in a businesslike way.
 His batting success does not seem to be due to any particular style. He has an eye for all sorts of balls Jack Coombs. Chief Bender. Ed Walsh Walter Johnson and some of the other star pitchers say he is the hardest man to fool in the league. They can fre- quently outguess Ty Cobb, for in-
