NAP RUCKER IS
NEARLY THROUGH


Among the momentous baseball
happenings OF 1914-and certainty no
year in the annals OF the diamond
drama has furnished so many frills as
has the present seasons very liable
to be the passing OF Nap Rucker.
The great Georgian isn't yet ready
to own up that he must hang his war
| togs in the closet, and is making one
last desperate attempt to cure himself
Of the thing that SO greatly handicap
ped him last season and this year has
practically put him hors de combat.
"Deltoid Bursitls" is the medical name
| OF the affliction which has Rucker on
the hospital list. 1t is an affliction OF
the nerves OF the deltoid muscle,
brought on by constant strain.
For the last two weeks Rucker has
been undergoing an heroic baking pro-
cess in the hopes that the muscular
| contraction he is suffering with will
! be cured. Map" says, THE old soup
bone seems 10 he loosening up" but
! the doctor will not yet allow him to
throw the ball. Several times in the
last two years Maps" arm, appar-
emily, came around into shape, but
each time he suffered a recurrence Of
the trouble.
OF an ideal build for pitcher, an
ideal disposition, both from mana
gerial as well as a players standpoint,
the big southpaw at his best was one
OF the greatest figures in the game.
The greatest batsmen in the National
league feared him, and none could
boast that he ever was able to get
Fuckers number
Rucker is a star pitcher as a result
OF an applied accident. lie began his
baseball career on a semi-pro team in
Alpharetta. and lie would probably
have remained there or thereabouts
had 1t not been for the accident which
come to pass when he was with Au-
gusta. Ga, in the South Atlantic
league, in 1905, his first whole season
among the regular baseball folk.
one day he cut loose in a manner

thought he had made a wild pitch, and
was the most surprised man on the
grounds when, after rising about 10
feet, the ball suddenly shot to the
earth, and was barely caught by the
catcher. the batter swinging some |
three feet or moro above IL.
Most pitchers would have thought |
realized that in some way unknown to |
himself he had struck n new delivery, |
and so set to work to find out what he |
had done. In n few days he learned |
how the high drop was thrown. but it |
was three months before he had con-
troll enough and confidence enough to
spring it in a game.
Having assured himself that he was
master OF the trick, he began to use
ii right along, and to this day II is,
perfected by his major league expert
ence, the most remarkable and decep-
tive delivery in baseball when II
breaks right.
Fuckers other attributes as a
pitcher would give him a standing as
a major leaguer, but ii is that drop,
which he does not hesitate to use
when the count is two and three and
men are on bases, that has caused the
fans to rank him among the greatest
left handlers baseball has ever known.
In addition to his other merits, G.
N. Rucker is one OF the hardest and
most willing baseball workers and

national selfishness, hatred and
disorder?
The last two years have witnessed
some sad examples of conflict. lust
and human hatred. Over three
hundred thousand have been killed
in tae Balkan States and during
this very year thousands of women
and iistle children have frozen and
starved to death and i the end all
concerned are infinitely worse off
than aver before. The Balkan
affair IS a striking exhibition of
the tutility of war as a means of
settling international disputes and
securing the common veal. The
unspaasable atrocities of these two
years Of carnage should surely con
vince Christian people that war is
contrary to a Christian civilization.
We urge that you speak more

full details never will be known; but
all accounts describe it as terribly
heavy. The Germans, although their
big guns cleared path for them, had
to sacrifice many lives in crossing the
rivers and canals and in driving out
the defenders who held the intrench-
ments to the last.
Crowds of refugees arrived in Lon
don. Most of them left Antwerp
Thursday night, and their accounts of
the attack are confused The Belgians
themselves, besides destroying the
forts, blew up steamers at the docks
and set fire to the petrol stores and
everything that could be of use to the
invaders. They also took away what
the transports could carry.
Germany has imposed fine of TO-
100000 pounds sterling ($1O0. 0O0,000)
on Antwerp as war indemnity.
