interested in stock raising and for
years his thoroughbred horses were
among the best in America. He owned

horses. such as Mo1lie Mccarthy, Vo-

It was as borrower OF money that
Baldwin was extraordinary, although
this did not become generally known
until his death. When, in 1873. he In
vested 100000 in Comstock shares he
expended $l,500.Oo0 in borrowed cash
before he completed the transaction.
From this time on, according to the
records, his transactions with money
lent to him were enormous. From
1879 to 1909 he paid 100000 in In

to Executor Unruh.

Rushing Through Plans.

They aver that any one would be
mighty foolish to JUMP at putting money
into something which they think hasn't
a strong enough foundation. The men
in charge Of the local club propose to
show that they have everything required
to successfully cope with the problem
that confronts them in competing with
organized base ball and are rushing
through their plans to acquire suita BILE
manager and grounds upon which to put
up modern base ball plant and when
this task is finished they contend the
fans will be quick to realize the possibil-
tiles Of the new league and will then lend
their financial support.
The directors have called a meeting
for the early part of next week. at which
some important announcement may be
forthcoming.

Of the spitball would have bad effect
on their pitching arms.
Only very few of the best pitchers Of
that day took up the new-fangled deliv-
would not use the spitball. Christy
Mathewson was another. Chief Bender,
Mordecai Brown and Rube Waddell were
others who turned it down.
On the other hand. the spitball was the
making of several pitchers who would
have long been relegated to the minors
except that they became adept in using
it. and 1t proved SO effective for them
that they cut out all other deliveries from
their repertoire. Among these may be
mentioned Ed Walsh of the White Sox
and Russell Ford of the New York team.
Now, however. good judges say that
these two men ruined their arms by con-
slant use of the moistened delivery.
Chicago team last season, while Ford
won decidedly few games for New York.
Walter johnson blames the spitball for
the downfall Of these two pitchers. He
says:
THE spitbali is novelty. I'll admit.
but 1t ruins a pitchers arm in time. If
Ed Walsh, for instance. had never used
the spitball he would not have any
trouble with his wing. The same applies
to Russell Ford, who seemed to have ost
his effectiveness last season. The pitch
ing In the last worlds series was devoid
Of new wrinkles. Bender and Plank de-
peHucu dlIHost entirely upon speed ailu
curves. Bender mixed in a slow ball
occasionally which had the Giants swing

BY j. ED GRILLo.

No less an authority than Charles Webb
as saying that Branch Hickey will make
a success of the management of the St
Louis Browns. Murphy after having talk
with Hickey was impressed with the col
legian's ideas of conducting a ball team,
and says that II Hickey can impress his
players with his ideas he will prove the
surprise OF the next campaign i'll the
American League. Hickey made hit
with Murphy when he tried to induce the
Chicago magnate to turn over Jimmy
Johnston. an outfielder he drafted. to
the Browns Murphy admired Hickey $
nerve, and figures that the young man
ager will in time gather lot Of good
ball players around himself.
Hickey Is not taken seriously by most
players and base ball men. 1t is figured
that it requires more than a college base
ball experience to fit man for major
league managerial berth. That Hickey IS
a hustler, however. is conceded, and the
chances are that in this respect he will
have something on his predecessors.
Rudy Hulswit, who was a star short
stop in the National League for several
years, wearing the uniform of the Phila-
delphia, Cincinnati and st. Louis clubs
of that league. is to be given a trial as a
manager next season. Hulswit has been
signed by the Jersey City club of the
International League. He played with
Louisville last season, and that club
gave him his outright release when it
found that Jersey City wanted to give
him chance to become a manager.
When the so-called spitball came into
prominence eight or niEe years ago all
of the pitching stars OF that period
learned to pitch it in practice, but near
" all of them decided to have nothing
to do with it for fear that constant use

lieves that it is possible to get a ball
team in shape without taking the play
erS to the extreme south. For the past
two seasons he has trained his team only
few miles from Washington, and yet
it has started both seasons in about as
good condition as any Of its rivals who
put in month or more in very warm
climate. One advantage which the Ma
tionals have enjoyed under Grif1ith's syS-
tenn is that they have not been forced
to undergo any marked change of eli
mate In returning from their training
camp. In many instances where teams
go far south to train they lose their
condition after coming north because of
the change in the weather. Gr. fifth by
training at Charlottesville virtually never
gets out of the climate he will play in.
Barring a few exhibition games played
with the Virginia college team, Griffith
does not ask his players to extend them
selves until they come to their own
twelve games with National League
clubs.
The change in the ownership OF the
Boston club is not apt to make change
in the Red Sox management. 1t being
assured that Bill Carrigan will continue
as the teams manager. But there Is sure
to be q lot of changes made in the busi-
ness end of the club Robert McRoy Is
to sever his connection with the club. and
1t Is rumored that Hugh McBreen, who
formerly was secretary. will regain that
position.
After many experienced base Dali men
had struggled for years In an effort to
find competent man to serve as presi-
dent OF the National League, it remained
for a newcomer, President Baker or Phil
adelphia, to clear the way and suggest
John K. Tener. Baker did not break into
base ball until during the closing month
OF last season, yet he seems to have ac-
comp ished something that none OF his
colleagues OF years of experience had
solved. Bakers selection of Tener gives
promise OF putting the National League
on harmonious basis. something the
organization has not enjoyed in many
years.
That the ''fielders choice" will be re-
stored to the scoring rules before the
next season opens seems assured. 1t Is
as good s.s settled that when the rule
makers get down to business this winter
that one Of the first changes to be made
Is to eliminate the Cincinnati base hit. :
There is much opposition to this farcicai
method of scoring the time-honored
''helder's choice which was wiped out
by the new rule last season. and 1t Is
understood that the rulemakers propose
to change the rules rs they were before
last season.

DOOLAN AND KNAbE
OFFERED IN TRADE
PhiIIies Want Joe Tinker and
Groh From Cincinnati Reds
in Big Base Ball Deal.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, December o.
Mike Doolan and Otto Knabe for Joe
Tinker and Heine Groh
Charles S. Doom, directing boss Of the
Phillies, made this offer by wire yesterday
to August Hermann, president Of the
Cincinnati team.
There is fair chance that Mr.. Herr
mann will snap up this offer, and that
Knabe will be appointed manager of the
Reds, thereby realizing life's ambition.
Doom said:
Il don't see how Cincinnati can refuse
the offer, for it is virtually what Herr
mann has been trying to get for long
time"
Star Players for Reds.
Doom didn't gainsay the fact that he is
turning over two star players to Cincin-
natl; neither did he underrate the value
of the pair that will come here If the deal
is closed.
Doolan is regarded as one OF the great
est fielding shortstops In the National
League, but lie does not rank so high as
hitter knabe is fully as valuable as
Doolan.
