NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-George

yesterday celebrated his seventy
second birthday by a best ball four
some match at Fox Hills, in which
he and John Hobens. Englewood,
were beaten five down and four to go
by Thomas Anderson, Montclair, and
David Hunter, Essex Country. Strath
is the oldest professional in service
in the United States, while Anderson
comes a close second, being half a
dozen years less.
Anderson is the father of the late
Willie Anderson, foul times national
open champion, who died in harness

years ago. Young Hunter, whose
father is accounted the dean of

Morris, proved a strong aid to Ander-

."SPITBALLERS" WERE
FAILURES IN BIG SERIES

The Giants. Such pitchers as Ford
and Mcconnell. now with the Yanks.
were stars with the Jersey City and
Rochester clubs, and were rated
much higher than Tesreau. They
have both been successful in the
American League, but have not at
tracted as much attention as Tes-
reau has in the National League.
National Leaguers Now Want "Spit-
baIlcrs."
The outcome of II will probably be
that National League managers VIII
make a wild scramble this winter to
rake in every promising spitball
pitcher in the bush leagues, and the
evil, instead of being eradicated, will
grow stronger. Very few spectators,
outside of the biased home fans, who
would rather see their team win than
be president of the United States
like TO see the spitball used in the
game. 1t is really h only objec-
tionable feature of an otherwise per-
fectly developed and scientific sport.
When Scout Larry Sutton, of the
Brooklyn Club, recommended Jimmy
Lavender to Brooklyn last year, Bill
Dahlen turned up his nose at a spit
ball, but now he regrets his hasty
| action.
There are some who say that a
| splitter will ruin a pitchers arm. II he
uses 1t too often. I'D Walsh seems
to be a living refutatlon of that argu-
mcnt. Still, 1t will be noticed that
moist ball experts are not as con-
slstently in the limelight on the whole
as those who depend only on curves
and fast ones to deceive the man at
tho plate.
A Last Straw for OlJtimers.
Many old-timers, when they feel
themselves slipping, resort to the
spitball. II has come to be regarded
in baseball as n certain mark of ath-
letic senility. The spitball, in its brief
career. once won a championship for
the Boston Americans, and on an
other occasion nearly lost q worlds
series. The splitter that enabled BoS-
ton to beat New York in 1904 was a
wild pitch, which Jack Cbesbro made
when the Yanks and the Rcd Sox
were fighting 1t out in the deciding
game Of the season, and Boston
scored the winning run on the wild
pitch due to an extra large portion OF
moisture Chesbro put on the ball.
The time Boston almost lost "A
worlds championship on a spitball
pitchers mistake was a week ago
Yesterday in the first inning at New
York, when, with two out, O'Brien
got the signal from Cady to throw to
first. O'Brien had doctored the ball
for a damp fling and as he turned to
peg realized he had not the right grip
on the pill. He held the ball instead
of throwing 1t easily to avoid a balk
being called. Doyle was ordered to
score from third base and with two
out O'Brlen went up in the air and
five runs were scored on him. That
came neor being the turning point in
the series and came close to costing
Boston the 1912 worlds championship.

Tesreau and O'Brien Failed to
Shine-National League In
terested i'm Them.

One of the big surprises of the
worlds series to many of the fans,
and evidently to John McGraw him
self. for McGraw chose his spitball
star to start the series, was the fail
ure of jeff Tesreau to scintillate
on the mound for the Giants. Some
fans attributed Tesreau's failure to
his nervousness, which was in a
true, but the real truth of
the whole matter was that the Amer
lean League has more spitball pitch
ers than the National, and the Red
Sox knew better than did the Giants
how to get at the damp fling.
The Giants did beat Buck O'Brien
twice, but they had a fierce time
winning the first game from him by q
9 to ! score, and it was his own Wild
ness and Boston errors hat beat
him. New York hit him hard in one
inning. the first round or the second
game he started at the Polo grounds.
Players who have worked behind
O'Brien, however, say hal he is I'M
dependable and likely TO go areoplan-
ing at any when the pace is
hottest and, most at stake.
Until last year spitball pitchers II,
the National League were rare com
modities and practically tabooed. 1t
was the prevailing opinion when the
new tangled moist pill delivery first
gained prominence in the American
League through Chesbro and Walsh,
that it would not last long, and that
1T would ultimately he lesislated out
- tLa it, chou baCattcn of tta nm
sanitary side. One big league catcher
said that after handling a spitballer
he felt as though someone had been
exp~ectorating in his face all day.
IF / handle a spitball pitcher next
season. he added, 81 think | will
try to devise some kind of a netting
to spread over my mask. It's the
most disgusting thing in baseball"
Doom Against the %spitbail.
Charley Doom has been one of the
most persistent National League
managers in denouncing the spitball.
His team gained q lot of advertising
this season by %doctoring the ball
when Marty o'Toole worked for the
Pirates against the Pills. McGraw,
Chance and other leaders in the
senior league would not have a wet
bulb deliverer on their staff until
this season. Then Chance got hold
OF Lavender, and McGraw took Tes-
reau, both from the Eastern League,
now the international.
National League batsmen were not
accustomed to facing the damp fling
artists as often as their American
League brethren. and Tesreau was
effective, and so was Lavender. Ia
the Eastern League last year Tes-
reau was not a bowling success. He
gained less notoriety here than with

HAMBURGER
PUTS STOP
TO BATTLE
Gunboat Smith Has Stewart in
Such Shape Officer Steps
in at the Seventh.

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-Sheriff Har.
burger stopped the bout between
Gunboat Smith, of California, and
Jim Stewart, of Brooklyn. at the end
of the seventh round at Madison
Square Garden last night. Stewart
had been punished severely from the
start, but his ring generalship en-
abled him 10 avoid a Knockout.
Smith, who weighed in at $50 pounds,
&c pounds lighter than StewfT,.
loored the heavier man twice in the
opening round with a left hook and a
right swing.
In the third Stewart was saved by
the bell, the referee having reached
the count of nine. In the seventh
round Stewart held at every oppcr-
tunity. and at its conclusion the
sheriff jumped into the ring and or
dered the fight stopped. It is the
first time the sheriff has entered the
ring to stop a bout of any im-
p%ortance. Recently Sheriff Harbur-
ger was instructed by Governor Dix
to keep a watchful eye on boxing
here.
