WOODS HUTCHINSON,
MEDICAL ICoNoGLAsT,
Is 81 TO-DAY.

If certain Interesting Event had
not undergone a process of eventual
ton at Sefby, in Yorkshire, England,
fifty-one years ago today. magazine
readers would have been deprived of
one of their most interesting, enter
tanning and instructive writer's. The
interesting event referred to was the
visit of the stork to Charles and Eli
zabeth Woods Hutchinson. The bird
of joy left a boy, afterward tagged
Woods, who is today celebrating his
birthday by signing his name to
checks received in payment for arti-
cIes from magazines all over the
world. DR. Hutchinson is the great
medical iconocIast, and he does not
confine his iconocIasting to the pages
of the medical journals, but gives the
general public the benefit of his lu-
minous opinions on all questions con-
nected with health, sanitation, diet
and the prevention of disease. There
are physicians, rock bound by caste,
who aIlege that such popular discus
sions of matters that should be
shrouded in mystery and Latin words
are distinctly unethica1, and there are
also many faddists of various varie-
ties who entertain a perpetual Crouch
against DIR. Hutchinson. Denounced
by some as a radical and by others
as a. conservative, the doctor goes his
merry way, overturning outworn med
icaI fetishes and popular idols, regard
less of criticism. He has a sprightIy
and witty literary style that renders
his articles on health and hygiene as
entertaining as fiction.
Although born in England DR..
Hutchinson was educated in Iowa,
Penn College at Oskaloosa being his
alma mater. He took his M. D. de-
gree at the University of Michigan in
1884, and practiced his profession until
1891, when he was appointed profes-
sor of anatomy at the State Univer-
sity of Iowa. In 1886 he went to Buff

tive pathology at the University of
Buffalo. Later he settled in Oregon,
and became State health officer In
1899 and 1900 he was a, lecturer at the
University of London and the London
Medical Graduates College. His first
book, The Gospel According to Oar

then he has turned out numerous vol

c1es.

Tremendous Hands

Palm an Ordinary
Baseball.

Los ANGELES, July 19.-Harry
Ables. star southpaw of the Oaklands
and the man whose work last year
the league and was instrumental in the
a)aks winning the championship, has a
wonderful pair Of hands.
Ables is a big man physically and
undoubtedly possesses the largest hands
of any pitcher in the business An or
binary baseball can easily be hidden in
the hand of the big southpaw, and it is
to the size and strength Of his hands
that Ables attributes much of his pitch
ing ability.
Along with his big hands Ables' wrists
are heavy and strong, so that delivery
that would ordinarily weaken the arm Of
less strong man has no terrOrS for
him, and if the condition Of his hands
and wrists have anything to do with
his period of service as an active
pitcher, then he is due for many more
years in baseball
Many clever twirlers have gone bad
and been compelled to lessen their
work because they had not the strength
to get the ball away with the neces-
sary snap Of the wrist without firing,
but Ables has no cause for worry and
his work Is easy for him.
As the Coast League can boast a
pitcher possessing the biggest hands, at
the same time the player with the small
est hands is in the organization. Billy

ing barely able TO grip a baseball. As
Ables' hands are an aid to him, Ken
wOrthy's short fingers are a Getriment
to him. Many hard-hit drive that
would be handled with ease by an ordi-
nary fielder has to be handled with ex-
traordinary care by the Sacramento star,
as a baseball is to him as big as an in
door baseball would be in the hands of
the big Oakland southpaw.

SMOKY JOE IS ADJUDGED
THE SLOWEST TWIRLER

II HE Philadelphia Evening Tele-
graph has discovered the slow
est pitchers in the world. Here
S how 1t described a recent game il
which they performed:
Smoky Joe" Wood and Waco
Bill" Taft, little brothers of the
box, can outpoint any tortoise
that ever crawled for studied de-
liberation, for deliberate languor
and for general sleepiness when
in the performance of their du-
ties.
This is not a slam at the use

aeons and aeons pass between their
departure and their arrival, and
meanwhile suppers grow cold at

he never thought of ball games
while he was counting her and
that it's very funny, anyhow,
that he should come home in the

than 40 seconds to every pitch.

Perhaps something in the grand
stand attracts his attention. Joe
promptly Develop great interest
in it. Reused to a sense of duty
by the acrid tones of the infeld-
ers, Wood finally begins the
march back to the box Hastily
counting the fans in the left
bleachers, he adds up those in
the right. Having exhausted
everything else of interest he
puts his spiked shoes fairly in the
box and begins to swing his arms.
After a few seconds he warns
up to the work and let's the ball
drive.
Joe takes an unfair advantage
of the batters by this method.

They also are always taking the
chance OF being "beaned That's
true, for the reason that they are set.
they are rigid. they can't get out of
the way of ball that breaks at the
last moment and starts for their
head
Many a man has been hit by a
pitched ball for the reason that he
set himself to swing. The best
way is to be up there Longing like
Wagner. Then you are in position
to step forward and meet the bali.
You also are in position to swing
at the fast breaking ones. You
are running mighty little chance Of
being "beaned."
Speaking of the weaknesses of
batters it's my opinion that Wagner
has the most peculiar of any man in
the game. It's no use TO try to fool
him on a curve. You can't It's lust

Ball That Fools Wagner.
Jimmy Archer tells me that when
the pitcher must pitch to Wagner
when il is in the pinch he signals
for one square over the heart of the
plate with nothing but speed on it,
Archer says that Wagner Will do less
with this than he win if you try Ia
fool him, and Mordecai Brown used
to do the same thing
Since Wagner and Lajoie have
been compared for years and years
perhaps IL would not be wrong for
me to say here that Archer says that
the two men are alike In their weak
nesses and that Laioie can do less
with the BAN which most batters like
than he can with the hooks, the slow
ones, the fast one with the hop
Archer knows for the reason that he
caught IN the American League.
The size of the bat has a lot to dc
with it, ] want one of medium size
say 40 ounces I'm strong enough tJ
swing the kind that Chief Meyers
does. But I couldn't get as many
hits. The way the pitchers curve
them on you nowadays a man must
have something I'm his hand that he
can swing at the last instant and
swing hard and true
! wouldn't like 90 say that the av-
erage batter swings "a club that is toe
heavy. But in my opinion any time
that a bat feels the least bit heavy
ii IS too heavy and should be dis
carded for lighter one.

and bleachers snored raucously
after watching HIM for an inning.
RUDE Oldring pinched himself
urgently once or twice while at
the plate to make certain that he
was still awake. All Wood needs
to be the best pitcher in the world
is grooming kind of lullaby to
match his actions. Then the ball
park would be an excellent sani-
tarium for sufferers from insom-
MIA Even without the lullaby Joe
Is still some shakes of a twirler.
