STRUNK DOING GOOD
 WORK FOR MACKMEA

One player on the Philadelphia Ath- letics who is seldom mentioned Tn connection with the teams success IS nevertheless one of the strongest fac tors of that aggregation. He is Amos Strunk, the speedy outfelder of the Mackmen, since last season, and he is to-day one of the most valuable men Mack has on his team. Not only is he one of the greatest he1ders in the league, but he is a fast base runner and is hitting at $40 clip this sea- son.
 Strunk gets little credit for the inn portant part he has played in the sue cess of his team. He is seldom men tioned as having distinguished him self, and yet he has done as much
 as any other member of the team to make possible it's remarkable winning streak.
 On any other team Strunk would be sensation. but he is lost among the numerous stars which Mack has. It is doubtful if there is another i'm stance in baseball where player, has developed as fast as he. Two years ago Strunk was an ordinary player who was in the game but seldom. Mack farmed him out for a season to Milwaukee. and it was while there that Strunk developed into a real star.

KRETzER OF BROOKLYN
 TEAM JOINS OUTLAWS

Pittsburgh. Penn. June 14.-E1mer Knetzer. the local boy who has been on the Brooklyn team for some time, has signed with the Pittsburgh Fed- era1 League team. He refused to ac- cept a large reduction in salary sub nlitted by Manager Dahlen on account of his having left the team last season to come home because of, sickness in his family.
 Manager Philippe of the local Fed eral League team has been after the pitcher all season. Knetzer's chances of rejoining the Brooklyn team are slight. so he has accepted the terms of the Pittsburgh club and will join his new associates at Indianapolis to- day.
 Two other Pittsburgh boys-Jack Lewis, who last year was a member of the Boston Red Sox until they farned him to St. Paul, and Tom Murray, a catcher of the St. Paul team, who was sent home recently on account of trouble with the club-wi11 join the Pittsburgh Federals with Knetzer today.

NEW ENGLAND LEAGUE
 IN AWFUL CONDITION
Club Owners And Players Assault Um.
 pires and Fans Disguised.
worcester Post.>

Patrons of baseball teams in the New England league believe it is time that President Tim Murnane and Sec- retary Arthur Cooper of the league woke up and earned a little of the money they get as officials of the lea que. The president admits that he has not seen a game this season. Sec retary Cooper. made one visit to Wor- cester, the last heard of him locally Both men are plainly neg1ecting their duties the fans declare, and as a re- suit the league is in a decline.
 Something appears to be wrong when a club owner can punch an um- pire in the eye and no announcement of a fine or suspension is made in two days. Why is it that Dan CIohecy is not suspended for his disgraceful scene on the ball field in Fall River last Tuesday, the fans want to know, and they believe they have 8 right to be answered.
 ; Dan C1ohecy deliberately walked up to Umpire Mike O'Brien Tuesday and punched him in the eye. The blow was a vicious one and discolored the left optic. It is now Thursday and Clohecy has not been fined or suspend ed for his disgracefu1 act C1ohecy's actions on a ball field have usually been above censure. Anything so low as to strike an umpire was unexpect- ed of him, especially a magnate. His example is scandalous and unless he is severely dealt with the effect may be ruinous.

SPORTOGRAPHY

To-day is the birthday Of two of Uncle SamueIs most popular institu- tions-the Stars and Stripes and base ball.
 The flag of the greatest republic on the map was born on June 14, 1777- the first regular baseball game be- tween two teams that had names was played on Elysian Fields, New Jersey, across the Hudson from New York, on June IA. 1846.
 Town ball. the forerunner of baseball, was played in Philadelphia as early as 1893. The Olympic club of Philadelphia was the first regular ly organized ball club in America The Washington club of New York, form ed in 1343, played a game nearer to modern baseball In Boston and oth- CT cities Of Massachusetts a game call ed New England" was played at about the same time.
 These early clubs played against teams chosen pron1iscuously from among the spectators. It was only until sixty-seven years ago to-day that two real clubs, the Knickerbock- CTS and the New York Citys, c1ashed on the Elysian Fields, in what is now Hoboken.
 That pioneer match game, consist ed of four innings. under a code of rules providing that the club that first made twenty one runs should be awarded the game. Such rule nowadays would often stretch a single contest over several days.
 Baseball drifted along, with only a few adherents, until after the close of the civil war, when the pastime en- joyed a great boom, and spread all over the United States and to Cana da.
 At that period games usually lasted from three to five hours. Pitching at this period was done underhand. Masks were unknown, and catchers played well back, getting the ball on the bound Gloves were also yet to be invented. The batter had the priv iIege of saying whether he wanted the ball knee, waist or shoulder high She outdelders seldom tried to catch a fly, but were chosen for their speed in chasing the ball. The fnflelders were expert in lodging out of the way of hot ones. It was a poor game from the viewpoint of the spectators, in which less than fifty runs were made. When the difference in the number of runs scored by opposing teams was only a dozen or so it was considered a close contest.

 Two of our ancient enemies, Pete Wilson and Murray Parker, went doWn in the wreck. Pete was wild but had been going fine with men on bases until the eighth. when Hartford led by 6 to 2. Then he wilted after Keli- her muffed McGamwelFs fly. Dusty Phillips hit the center field fence With a triple, scoring McGaInweM and Stow smashed a single over second, count ing Phillips Russell banged single through shortstop and Wilson walked to the bench.
