Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1913-05-19

through with the title in hurry.
The task he has set for himself is
stupendous one, and the glory that
follows is sure to be all the more APP
preciable If he realizes his ambition.
Against Mandot he is almost certain
to show to advantage, but he will
meet a Tartar in Rivers, and Richie
Out West Anderson is looked upon
as most promising prospect, and
the scribes and the sports are sound
ing his praises in no halfway meas
ure. True, he is rather new and has
done little to warrant the exuberant
praises that are being bestowed upon
him, but the little he has done has
been accomplished in such an artistic
manner that there is small doubt in
regard to his class,

Both of Anderson's battles with
Knockout Brown, who has been war
horse and a trial horse for nearly all
of the ranking lightwelghts, were
commendable exhibitions. His first
encounter, which was a draw, was all
in his favor until the last round,
when he. tired badly, and Brown,
rugged bull that he is, made des-
perate rally, and in the opinion of
the referee earned a draw; but when
the boys met again Anderson left no
room for doubt and he gave the
much-advertised "Kayo" most ar
tistic beating, scoring a decisive vic
tory and practically knockout. To
outpoint Brown would not be looked
upon as anything wonderful, but those
OF us in the East who have seen the
Little Dutchman' perform know
full we'll that no ordinary fighter
could take him into camp in such
positive manner unless he possessed
real class. Anderson, from all ac-
counts, is more than conner" He
is almost there" We will wait pa
tiently for his arrival" which will
come about if it is to come about at
all, in his contests with Mandot and
Rivers and Richie.

A says the batter gets credit for
a sacrifice fly only when runner
scores from third base. B says he is
also entitled to a sacrifice when a
man advances a base after a fly is
caught. FAN.
The batsman does not get credit
for sacrifice fly unless it scores a
runner.

Was baseball organized from the
game of FOUNDERS?
ADAM MARTIN.
Archaeologists say that the mound
dwellers used to play baseball, but
our great national game is generally
supposed to have been based on the
game of FOUNDERS. 1t is believed that
baseball was played as far back as
the Garden of Eden.

Please tell me how to reach the
Brighton Beach motordrome. About
what time would it take to make the
trip? Were "Ossie" Schreck and
"Rube" Waddell considered spec
tacular battery? Was Schreck adept
at taking a pitched ball with the
gloved hand alone? Doesn't Waddell
hold the strike-out record for a sin
gle game and for the season?
CHARLES.
You don't want to know much,
Charles, my boy, but I'll do the best
can. You can reach the motordrome
as follows: Take the Hudson tunnel
to Hudson Terminal New York;
walk over to the Brooklyn Bridge
and take a Coney Island express.
Leave this at the Brighton Beach
station and you'll be almost at the
door of the motorcycle track. You
| ought to make it inside of one and
one-half hours IL you make good
connections. "Rube" Waddell holds
the record for strilxe-outs made In
a season. "Ossie'' Schreck was the
receiving end of Connie Macks star
battery, waddell and Schreck. 'Os-
Sic used to amuse the fans by han
| ding "Rubes" terrific speed with
one hand while the "Rube'' was
warming up. 1t was an almost daily
exhibition before every game the
Athletics played.
