PEGG|NG CATCHER IN
NATIONAL LAST YEAR
Leads All Catchers in Flag

Are Close Behind
by ERNEST J. LANNIGAN

viii Killifer of the Phillies, who
might still be on the st. Louis Amer
ican league club were 1t not for the
fact that Jim McAleer fired him from
that team in 1909, was the best throw
ing backstop in the National league
last season. He thwarted 100 attempts
to steal and was one of three men
who averaged one or more men thrown
out per game. The other backstops
who had a record like Killifer were
Mike Simon of Pittsburg and Jimmy
Archer of Chicago, the last named, like
<illifer, being an American league dis
card. Hugh Jennings was the manager
in the Johnson organization who
shipped Archer back to the minors.
Killifer and Archer both got votes
from the Chalmers commission of news
paper experts as being the players
most valuable to their teams in last
seasons competition for the car, but
Simon was passed up by the scribes.
Simon averaged 1.04 victims to the
game and Archer 1.02, the Pittsburger
tagging SO men in s2 contests and the
Chicagoan 105 in 103. Johnny King of
Cincinnati ranked fourth among the
windpaddsts when it came to pegging
out men who trid to steal. Ivy Wingo
OF ST. Louis fifth, Otto Miller of the
Superbas sixth, "Chief" Meyers of the
Giants seventh, Bill Rariden of the
Braves eighth, VIII Fischer of the Su-
perbas eighth, Bert Whaling of the
Braves ninth, and Tom Clarke of the
Reds tenth.
In every instance save one the CATCH
er who was most active in heading off
base runners when they tried to do
the Raffles act was the men who was
most often called on by his manager
to don the windpad. The lone excep-
tion cropped up in Cincinnati, Johnny
KING, who caught 81 less games than
Tommy Clarke, having an average as a
thrower that was .016 better than that
amassed by his young teammate.
All told, there We're 1910 National
league players thrown out in attempt
ing to steal second, third or home last
season. The Philadelphia backstops
turned back 1T9 men, Chicago's 169, st.
Louis 165, Boston's 151, Pittsburg' $
151, Brooklyns 146. Cincinnati's 146 and
New York's 1913.

iENER R|D|CULES THE
IDEA THAT A TRUST
CONTROLS BASEBALL
New National President
Says There Is No Such
Thing as a Base
ball Trust

New York, December II John X. Tener,
governor of Pennsylvania and newly In
stalled president of the National league
ridiculed the idea that the national game
was controlled by a trust in a brief state
ment issued today, incident to a business
meeting of the league.
There is no such thing as a baseball
trust" he said. "Organized baseball is
national outgrowth of an endeavor Ia
build up the sport and put the game on
the highest plane. There has been no de-
sire to crush competition"
The governor reiterated that he was
going to be president In letter as we'll as
in name. lie had insisted on this before
he assumed office, he said.
During the next year." he said, II shall
give my attention only to the most i'm
portant matters affecting the league as a
whole. Secretary Heydler will attend to
the details"
Routine affairs only faced the club own
ers at today's session. Demands of the
Players fraternity, 1t was announced,
would not be considered having been re-
ferred to President Tener for his survey,
who in turn will place them before the
national commission at Il meeting to be
held in Cincinnati in January. The gov
ernor said he favored the reserve clause
in the contracts to which the players OBJ

sinuous and supple. The joints must
be supple. The whole body must be

For this I recommend re-reading OF

her to turn right around in her
tracks and be a nice, cosy. little home
body, without a thought in the world

He seems to think that the wedding
ceremony is some sort of a magic
rite that will turn a parrot with gay
feathers into a good little brown
hen, just to please him.
And sometimes the poor parrot,
who sometimes has a good heart I'M

around calling marriage a failure.
I wish I could comfort you, Per-
picked, but this is the best l can do,
