nERNAN's HIT LONGEST.
Silent Mike Was Idol of Fans In His
 Day.

Silent Mike Herman Is well remem-
 bered by many pitcher of the '8Os and '90s as we'll as by right f1elders of the sames period and by thousands of fans ball players good book that Silent
 Mike was banished from the game but once in his long career, and then he was the goat-the brilliant Buck Ew- ing rasping the umpire, who believed Mike was guilty. Tiernan was just such a batter as Sam Thompson and Dan BrOuthers. He was one of the select few credited with driving the ball over the rfghtfield fence at Expo sition park, Philadelphia. Thinking of Tiernan, the fans mind reverts to that great company of which Capt. Anson. Roger Connor. John M. Ward, Hank O'Day, Tim Keefe, Kid Nichols Buck Ewing and Charley Bennett were mem bers He was one of the famous New York team under John Ward in 1888 and 1889.
 Herman is living in New York. He owns a modest cafe and lives quietly in West Thirty-fifth street He was born in Trenton. N. J., January 21, 1887 He played his first professional baseball with Williamsport in 1884, and the next year went to Trenton. New Jersey had York club in 1887, remaining eleven years He quit the game in 1898. In addition to being a terrific hitter, most dangerous in a pinch. Herman was grand OutfielQer. when m 1o9S He caught his last fly, he quit with the satisfaction that he led the league out felders that year with the splendid per- centage of .9S6. For eight years Tier nan hit over 300. His best years were S95 and 1896 when he batted .354 and .361. respectively. Tiernan thinks the game is faster today than when he played He picks Mathewson as the greatest of pitchers and Buck Ewing as the most wonderful of players.
 Tiernan made the longest hit re- corded in his time and for years after ward. It is a question whether it has ever been beaten. He did it in a pinch off the delivery of one of the greatest pitchers that ever faced a batter, Kid Nichols tOn May 12, 1890, Amos Rus ie was working for New York and Kid Nichols for Boston. Both were in great form, and for 12 innings had the bat ters at their mercy. In the 18th l was at bat, with two out and the score . to Q. I fouled off the first ball Nichols pitched, the ball going over the stand: That came back, but it was wet and soggy, and Nichols wanted the new ball that had been thrown out. His teammates protested, but the umpire said the new ball was in play. The first ball Nichols pitched I laid the wood to for a home run. The ball went over the fence on line, about 20 feet high. Thus Tiernan tells the story.

Featherweieht> Champion Has Thing.
 All His Own Way.

New York, Feb. 4.-Johnny Kilbane of Cleveland, featherweight champion, outpointed Young DriscoIl of Brooklyn in 8 ten round bout here tonight.
 Ki1bane had the better of every round, hooking lefts and rights to the head with an occasional uppercut and shortar1n blows to the body.
 For the first three rounds Kilbane scarcely closed his gloves. but as the fight went on he hooked many a hard blow to the head. The best that could be said of DriscoI1 was that he was game and tried to fight back every inch of the way.
 Kilbane missed several left and right hooks to the head and misjudged a few right-hand uppercuts. He forced the pace from the third round on, how ever, did not receive a damaging blow in return, and the bout was easily his from beginning to end.

THORPE NO STAR PLAYER. Former Teammate Says Indian Would
 Hardly Do for Class B.

It has developed that not only John Murray of Pittsfeld and Martin O,Gara of Dalton played with James Thorpe, the Indian athlete, on the Rocky Mount baseball team, but that Martin Prelan, who played first base for Pfttsfeld for a part of last sea- son, was manager of that team when Thorpe played there. Murray stated that Thorpe's confession did not sur prise him. He believes, however. that had Thorpe denied the stories there would have been trouble in proving them, as it would have been a hard task to get many ball players to say they had played professional base ball with Thorpe.
 At the time that he went to Rocky Mount he was well known as an All American" back Murray is also sur prised that Charley Clancy gave out such a story against Thorpe, as he says Clancy generally has little to say. He believes Clancy's first hint as to Thorpe's professionalism was dropped unconsciouSIy. Murray feels sorry for Thorpe. He denies the story that Thorpe ever drinks to excess He recalls that Thorpe once had mixup with Raleigh policeman, threw him into a rubbish can and walked to the police station and gave himself up.
 That Thorpe played with the Rocky Mount team all of 1909 and part of 1910 is Murray's story, and in the lat ter year was traded to Fayettevi1le Clancy secured Thorpe that year and tried to develop him as a first base man. One of the Boston clubs tried to secure Thorpe in 1910, but the deal fell through. Murray says Thorpe was never a real good hall player, and he doubts if he ever could make good in big league or even class B ball. Jack Teller. manager of the Pitts field baseball team, is another Pitts field man who is thoroughly familiar with facts pertaining to Thorpes play ing professional baseball. Landgraf of last years Springfield team played with Thorpe in the Eastern Carolina team and had told Teller of the In dlan,s playing in the south.
