PITTSBURGH, Pa, December 13.-
There have been few players, espe-
cially pitchers. who enjoyed more popu-
larity in their day than did Smiling
Mickey Welch in his. He was not held
In so great admiration as were. for
instance. Spalding. Radbourne and
Keefe, but he was nevertheless an idol
not only in his home town. but through
out the circuit of the National League
Unlike Tim Keefe. who was his side
partner for a number of years, both at
Troy and at New York. he was a hard
worker: that is. he lacked the ease and
grace possessed by Tim, who WAS one
of the most elegant of pitchers. There
was q striking contrast between the
delivery of the two stars. Welch ap-
parently pitched laboriously. while
keefe had natural and smooth deliv-
cry ending with a full swing that was
grace typified. Yet Tim lasted only a
few months longer than Mickey.
Welch pitched under nearly every rule
adopted by the National League The
object of the rule makers from the very
Start was to equalize the skill of the
pitcher and the batter. In this en-
deavor they Invariably legislated

The Americans, who knew Schaefer,
laughed. but most OF the English
tourists. thinking some crazy person
had escaped his keeper. stood spell
bound for a moment. Some began to
get in action as Schaefer reached for
his two guns. Pulling them out with n

and shot off q couple Of the blanks. A
wild scramble to points of safety fol-
lowed and inside of n minute the
crowded lobby was practically deserted.
Walking slowly over to the desk. guns
in hand, he secured his key from the
clerk, smiled, stepped into the ele-
vator and proceeded to his room. Few
of the tourists appreciated the joke.
and some of them were so angry over
the matter ehat they threatened to
seek the arrest of the Tiger star. 1t
proved good piece of advertisement.
when as a matter of fact Schaefer
never intended it as such.

At the next game, all the tourists
were in attendance. They wanted TO
and in what manner he accepted the
very well that afternoon. Germany
made as much noise as deaf and

disappointed.
The only other instance I recall of
where some one actually took Schaefer
seriously was at summer park con-
siderable distance out of Washington.
Herman, with a party of friends, had
been spending the evening there The
bunch finally congregated in front OF
the African dodger. That worthy gen
tleman, being a base ball fan. was
quick to recognize Schaefer. Instantly
he began kidding the player about his
glass arm and lack of control. Most
of the crowd tried their arm out, but
the dodger evaded all the throws.

Finally Herman was induced to get
into the game. He selected three of
the balls with care. the colored dodger
in the meantime was noising the fact
all over the park that Herman Schaefer
