Harry Smith Possesses the
Qualifications for Leadership

If a pitcher complains of a sore arm
Harry examines it with the air of a
physician, makes sundry touches and
squeezes and messages. then pats the
pitcher on the back and tells him
there's nothing the matter with the
arm except that it has been neglected
and not worked often enough. He goes
about it all so seriously and at the same
time 80 earnestly and with such a mys-
FERROUS air that the suffering" athlete
cannot fail to recover after a few min
ues of Smiths diagnosis.
Harry also has a fund of funny
stories which he carries around in his
Uranium and somehow or other he finds
one to fit every situation with remark
able alacrity. His inexhaustible foun-
tain of wit is a magic wand that can
change gloom into sunshine in an in
slant.
Harry has been in the big show for
more than a decade, having played
with Pittsburgh for seven years, Boston
two, and the Athletics one, going to
Mack's team in 1900 when the Ameri-
can League was first organized.
He was on the Pittsburgs teamwith
Swacina in 1906 and predicts that Swats
will burn the league up. In 1908 he
managed the Boston Nationals, and he
has acted as captain on several other
teams. Before joining the Tigers Smith
had played with only n minor league
club, Milwaukee, in 1899.

Young Gradwell, of Newark, knocked

the first round at the National Sport
ing Club last night. Gradwell has a
terrific blow and has been knocking
them all dead.
When that sensational catcher,
"Gabby" Street, first painted New
York" on his suit roll he looked upon
the work with but one regret. Walter
Johnson, his illustrious teammate, was
left behind with the Senators.
Two weeks with the H~ighlanders
has almost wiped out Streets grief
at parting with his old companion.
Not that he so quickly forgets old as
sociations, but because he believes that
h. Aao li,o1xr1u1a o-a+Lax. x{&ol,1~ x-l, -
is bound to overshadow the name and
fame of Washington's great idol. Street
is of the opinion that Ray Caldwell
is destined to a pedestal in athletic
renown as far removed from the vul-
gar herd as the pedestals of Mathew
son. Bender, Walsh and Johnson.
In all my experience said Street
recently, Il have never seen such
pitching as Caldwell has shown. Mark
you, this is not spring hot air talk.
I've seen them all in the spring and
fall and midsummer, but none better
than Caldwell. He warns up the
nearest to Johnson of any pitcher
l have ever seen. He hasn't the
smoke of WATERPROOF of them
have-but his delivery is almost as
fast. The difference will be scarcely
appreciate to a batter. Caldwell
has a Jump to his fast ball almost
as sharp as that of the more ex-
%perienced Johnson, and he has what
Walter lacks, a sweet curve.
Il lever saw a better curve than
Caldwell throws. 1t comes fast and
breaks quick, and he is also master
of a drop and a slow ball. Caldwell
has everything and good control
along with the rest of it. He should
be the greatest pitcher in the coun-
try. He will be if my assistance can
make him such.'
Caldwells pitching ability is not
his only equipment. He is n of
the best hitting pitchers in the bust
ness, and he is fast on the bases.
While he played regularly last sea-
son in the utility role, he was al
ways up among the leading hitters of
the club. and in the pinch he shone
at his best. q
