Barney Pelky,, old-time pitcher OF
the American League, insists that
two legs are not necessary for a
pitcher. In proof of this he sends
in a photograph of A. G Murphy,
pitcher for the coal mine teams of
Pennington, Mo-, his home. Muir
phey is employed as bookkeeper in
the mines. Largely because he is such
fine pitcher, the miners insist he
be given light employment, so he
may help them win games. His left
llcg Is made of cork, and he pitches
with his left arm.
But Barney thinks he is good
enough for the big leagues. He is
TWENTY-FIVE years old, and weighs
1853 pounds, writes Barney. His rec

as follows;
