n-Year-0Id Wanderer Found When Hit by Car

CLEVELAND, O.-Ten-year-old Ethel
" Tate, 1886 East One Hundred and
Fourteenth street, or the disappear
ing kid" as she is known by the po-
lice, was hit by Cedar avenue car at
East One Hundred and Fifth street
the other morning when she was on
one OF her regular ruHaways.
Ethel invariably runs away once a
month. She doesn't go anywhere in
particular. but just keeps on walk
ing until she gets tired and then she
lies down and sleeps, no matter where
she is. She told her mother she had
slept in Amber park the night before,
and consequently had contracted a
hard cold.
Last September she was found sound
asleep in the salon of the steamer City
of Erie. Scarcely two weeks later she
was found in a picture show in Akron
after every body else had left the place
In January. after a three days disap-
pearance, she was discovered in a
livery stable.

Mayor Shank took no active hand

job was undertaken by the mayor per

Powell, however, and before the sea SOL of 1907 was over he was signed up to manage the Greensburg team of the Western Pennsylvania league. He was still first basemat, but while with that team he took a notion to try to pitch because he had no one else ready to go ir. His first battle on the slab resulted in a shutout and from that cay he abandoned the first basemans 1nitt and started learning the art of mixing them up.
 Mixing them up is Powell's chief stock in trade. He has not tke tre- mendous speed of Smoky Joe Wood, nor the shary curves that made Mord- ecai Brown~ famous, but he has a varied assortment of goods, and on these depends his success. Powell looks easy because there is no indf- cation of how fast he can send the bail up to the plate. It is the more deceptive because he varies it with a lazy foater or slow curve when he thinks the batter is looking for the ball with a hop on it. He bluffs & spftban some and uses it just often enough to show that he has it. That is what he has learned about pitching since quitting first base.
 After Greensburg, Powell went to the Springfield Ponies. his record was so good that he was grabbed by the Pittsburg team in the fall of 1908 For the next two seasons he was a
  in that garb. As nearly as Bill can rem ember he worked in only 12 games during the two seasons he belonged to Barney Dreyfuss's stable and there is no way to verify it, as that would not get him into official avera ges. After 1910 Powell was, disposed of by Pitts burg to the Kansas City team and for two seasons he has pitched winning baseball for the Blues. He was not for sale at any terms, according to President Tebeau of the Kansas City club. so C. W. Murphy took a chance on the draft last fall and grabbed the tall pitcher by that process.
 Powell is 27 years old and will be another year toward old age on May 8 of this year He is a native of Vir- ginia, having been born in Richmond in 1885. He weighs close to 200 when in best condition and still looks tall and rangy on account of the perpen dicular distance over which his avoir- dupois is scattered. He has been troubled with a lame arm all the spring and has been able to show Manager Evers little of what he can do, but the Trojan is not among those who discard recruits without thor ough tryout.

HAD A GOOD OPINION OF SELF. Ball Player of no Years Ago Wanted
 to Be a Big Leaguer.

James Meetkirk was ball player who particularly valued himself on playing balI' at that time instead of no years ago. he might now be the leading pitcher of either of the major leagues instead of playing down in Little Washington in the semipro ranks. In fact. a $5 reward such as was offered for this Meetl1irk player, more than a century ago would now probably be swelled to something like $50, 900. Baseball is an old institution, but there is little in history to tell just when it was first played. How ever, it was in vogue more than 100 years ago. as an advertisement insert ed in the Western Telegraph and Washington Advertiser of Dec. 12, 1903, shows.
 A copy of this advertisement was handed to Manager Clarke of the Pirates. It is the earliest authentic record of ball playing in the old days. IT. the adv. the old style $. much like the letter F. was used. It is as fol- 1ows:.

Many outhelders and infieIders have started in baseball with the ambition to become great pitchers and have changed their minds for various req sons. Not often does a. young man begin his career as a fielder and be- come 8 pitcher, but Bill Powell, one of Manager Elyers's big staff of Cub hurIers, is an exception says J. E. Sanborn. Powell began life on the green diamond as a first baseman. He can think of no reason except his height for adopting that position at the start but that is sufficient, as he is two inches over six feet and can reach a proportionate distance in ev- cry direction.
 Powelfs baseball began with the high school team in his home town of East Liverpool O,-he is another Cub from that famous Ohio-P Pennsylvania incubator of players-and his first professional engagement was with the Bloomington club of the Three Eye league. That was in 1906, and he was first passing to beat the band that year. But he strained his side toward the end of the season while reaching for a curve ball at bat and was not feel ins sufficiently recovered the following spring te return te the game, The love of the sport proved too strong for
