The speech delivered in the Senate
in favor of the Underwood-Wi
Tariff by Henry F. Hollis, the Dem
ocratic senator from New Hamp-
shire, may fairly be described as
marking the end of one era and the
beginning of another. Without check

to say that no such speech was ever

this PAGER, with a mark of Ii hours. This

During the last Grand Circuit meeting
at Columbus, Independence Boy broke his
left hind ankle. He was put in a sling
at the Columbus driving park While
showing great ability to make himself
comfortable by shifting his position, the
PAGER was forced TO sleep in cat maps"
Not a single nights solid sleep came to

was removed from the sling, he took one
satisfied look around his stall, tumbled
into the oat straw and went to sleep.

wake him up. When he finally walked up

" HICAGO, Feb. Jimmy Ar
cher is considered by many
managers to be the most
wonderful throwing catcher seen i'm
the American game for many,
many years.
But if tabulatiOns were kept on
the different receivers in their peg
ging TO second and third and the
number of pen each one caught,
Jimmy would probably not stand
highest in the National league. This
is because he doesn't get so many
chances as other catchers.
1t so happens that Clark Griffith
is the best newspaper mans mana
ger in the major leagues. There
are other managers whose skill
lands their clubs higher in the
races. but there is none who knows
what really interests the fans SO
much and gives it TO the scribes as
the Old Fox.
Griffith says Archer is the king
bee Of the catchers. He has watch
it out that more than 80 per cent of
his throws catch runners Where
fore he issued a mandate that none
of his players on the Cincinnati
club during the seasons of 1910 and
1911 should try to steal when Ar
cher was receiving for the Cubs.
At the start of 1910 this order
was given to the Reds. Robert
Bescher, of London, Ohio. one of
the red-nosed warriors and the best
pilferer of bases in the older cir
cult. was included In the list; in
fact, Griffith went into a detailed
discussion with Bescher about the
former Tigers throwing abilities.
OF course, Bobby de Besch," as
the mighty outfelder of the Reds
is known in yorktown, did not be-
lieve his boss was right. He tried
to steal several times during the
earlier weeks of that year on
Archer and always came to grief.
Finally he had to acknowledge
the value of that wing and ever
after that he would make bluffs to
steal, but always lodged back to
the bag.
The great value of Archer to the
Cubs, therefore, can easily be seen.
He doesn't have to call for many
waste balls. The twirlers lust
shoot them over and feel safe.
1t doesn't matter to Jimmy where
the ball comes. He can peg them
just as quick whether they are in
the groove or shoestrlng offerings.
To the ordinary fan this doesn't
seem so much of a difference. But
to player, and especially a catch
er, who perhaps has a wild HEAVIER
in the box, it is a wonderful advan-
tage.
Chance took Archer after Jen-
nings had turned him down. Chance
allowed him to receive the pitch
ing slants while in his famous
crouch, which, by the way, was the
principal thing Jennings said he
held against him

that the game had not positively been
called off, and that both We're endeavoring
