AMERICAN TACTICS IN
ATHLETICS OF, GERMANY

BERLIN, April 11-There was begun
at Berlin university this week a ma
tionsl movement destined to work great
changes In the traditional routine Of un-
dergraduate life at German universities.
Representatives OF fourteen universities,
ten technical colleges and score Of
minor institutions met TO discuss ways
and means for introducing sports and
athletics into German universities on
British and American lines. The project
has long been mooted. but never seriously
taken up. This time it gives promise
OF something like practical realization.
The delegates at the Berlin meeting
pledged themselves to make a vigorous
propaganda among their fellow students
IN lie hope that IT may be possible in
isls to hold at Leipsig a great inter
university meeting, to be known as the
German University Olympia and re-
peated annually.

II has been pointed out that since the

Of them still maintain the price to which

several years as an umpire. Chris Won

cause the year previous l had been
mobbed in the Mound City because l
did not give all the close ones to the
home team. But as the manager of the
team l was a king until the season got
under way. All Of the nice things said
about me were forgotten and l couldn't

Target for Abuse.
The merciless attitude Of the fans has
broken more than one mans heart. I'll
never forget the case of Tim O'Keefe.
He was one Of the greatest pitchers that
ever curved ball. II was his great
work that helped the Giants to win the
worlds championship in 1855 and 1859.
oKeefe was like Matty-a public idol.
II he had run for public office he would
have been elected. Crowds followed him
home from the Polo grounds and wher-
ever he played he was hero. When
oKeefe could not pitch any more he was

a rousing welcome. In grilllng
battle between the Giants and the Bos-

the New Workers. Before the game ended
okeefe was the target for a volley OF
abuse. He was hooted and Kissed and
finally a mob tried to handle him
roughly as he made his way to the dress.

Believe me. boys, o'Keefe \ actually
broke down and wept. The admirers OF

gone and he soon resigned from the UNI

Mask Came First.

Tho mask was the first contrivance
calculated to prevent serious injury.
Then came the oatchers' gloves. one for
each hand. These gloves were OF light
hid, with no fingers and little OF no
padding. Catchers who handled swift
deliveries, therefore, soon found that the
gloves did not come up TO the require
ments, So II was a common thing to see
backstops stuffing grass. cotton batting
to protect the palms OF the hands when
under a hot fire from the box.
one OF the first National league catch
ers to use a left hand glove with fingers
was Meyers OF Indianapolis. more than
twenty-five years ago. Somebody made
glove for him that caused general
laugh. The fingers were 80 long and the
surface Of the glove was so broad tina.
Meyers found Il difficult at first 20 hold
pitched ball. He was catching the
great Henry Boyle In those days, and
Boyle had binding speed. Meyers had
broken all OF his fingers. also both OF
his thumbs in handling Boyle with the
fingeriess gloves. so that he readily tried
the new one, and after much persever-
ance. he proved that II had merit. After
that all the catchers adopted a finger
glove for the left hand. The glove was
improved upon when the manufacturer
put solid leather tips ON the ends OF the
fingers to protect the nails. Even then
catchers were not cnvied by the other

Adoption of Mitt.

eN"hfcf 1hN'a auu &UaIltt
Bennett. three Of the greatest backstops
the game ever produced. were among
NE first to adopt the mitt. which was q
comparatively light affair. but made Il
impossible to injure the fingers OF the
left hand. Incidentally these star catch
ers began TO show that one hand was
sufficient to catch pitched ball. They
discarded the right hand glove and soon
perfected a movement OF the left wrist
that placed the mitt In the right position
TO receive the ball. Ewing once told the
writer that during an entire season he
didn't catch more than a dozen pitched
balls with his bare hand. He used TO
enjoy catching the puxzling curves Of
keefe, WEIGH and Crane with the mltt.
which made 1t almost impossible TO have
passed bali. With the right hand glove
less eatchers gradually learned to throw
to bases with greater speed and accuracy
than ever before, for ball thrown with
gloyed hand naturally Travelled slowly
and without the proper aim.
As the manufacturers gradually In
creased the size and weight OF the
oatcner's mitt the mania for gloves be-
came general. The in and out fieIders
soopted them using the mltt until the
base ball rule makers were forced 10
lesislate against the practice. Lave Cross.
