be termed a "Csrbonated Alkaline

It was not long before Mr.. Oldring
was appearing with the best semi
professional teams around the Big
town, and he soon had the fans, who
patronize Sunday games on the lots
arguing about his future. He was al
ways a vicious hitter, batting right
handed. and a sensational fielder. He
reached a real circuit in 1905 when he
was taken on by the Montgomery team
of the Southern league, having been
stopping in HOboken with club that
played on Saturdays and Sundays Tor
short period previous to this.
"Rube" attracted so much attention
right away in the neighbOrhoOd of
Montgomery that several big league
scouts gave up railroad fare to take
look at him. but Connie Mack, as
usual, beat them all to IL and pur-
chased the outfielders release. This
was not to take effect until the follow
ing season, however, so Oldring re-
turned to his metropolitan home and
began practicing with the New York
Americans. They at once put in a
draft for him, not knowing that Con

by the National comm. ssion, and

his parents picked Reuben for name
to conceal his metropolitan origin.
Therefore, it can be seen he is really

OIdring is one of the noisiest men
in baseball, going around with his
muffler cut entirely out all the time
and seeking places where the acOus-
tics are good. Several anti-noise So
cieties have spoken to Connie" Mack
about his blond outfielder, but silent
Connie" cannot do anything toward
suppressing the effervescent "Rube.'
Besides, most of the members of the
Athletics are so quiet that Rube
raises the average of the club to
respectable altitude He wins almost
all the arguments among the players
because he can talk the loudest. That
is the real test of an arguer in the
national game. The lOudest talker al
ways lands the decision 'Rube" is a
most convincing cOnversationalist IN

Pitcher Is What Counts.
There has been much discussion
anent the question of whether a

Higgins admits that the passing of
Roger did minimize the effectiveness Of
some of his pitchers. He also admits
that Bresnahan was the games great

to the fact that a good pitcher pitches
his own game
Don't let anybody tell you that
pitching isn't IS per cent of the game,
says Higgins. Without smart pitchers

ing. On the other hand, a good staff
of pitchers will win despite the cal
