RUDE WADDELL,
DIAMOND HERO,
CROSSES DIVIDE
Terrific Speed Won Him Fame
in Big League Despite His
Lack of Control and ignoring
of Training Rules.

SAN ANTONIO. Texas Tpril -
"Rube" Waddell, the eccentric base
ball pitcher. died at a local sanitarium
Wednesday afternoon. his death was
due to pulmonary affection that was
followed in the past few days by an
acute stomach disorder that FASTENED
his end.
Waddell will be buried here Thurs
day. The funeral will be under the
auspices of the Elks
Waddell was born in SIG, of mixed
Pennsylvania Dutch and English an
cestry He was of gigantic size and
magnificent frame. He flashed in and
out OF several big league teams be-
tween 1897 and 1900 as he had ter
rifle speed but little control TO back
IL with. IN 1901 he seemed to have
acquired a better knowledge of the
big leagus game and was signed by
the Chicago National club, which had
but . short time previously been raid
ed by the then new American league.
The 'Rube" could surely pitch, as
his defeat of Christy Mathewson the
first time they met at the Cub park
attested. He was also an excellent
man with the stick. AS for his willing
ness to pitch. ii is a matter of record
that after pitching aid winning a
game or Friday the "Rube" hunted up
President James A. Hart at night and
begged the privilege of going in again
on Saturday because some Chicago
board of trade men whom he met aft
er the game had lamented the fact
that they did not see his work that
day Hart granted the request and
"Rube" not only pitched on a Satur-
day but won again by a larger margin
than on the previous day.
Sets Great Record.

lands three best batters, in II pitches
at critical point OF a thinning game
between the two teams. II was while
with the Athletics that "Rube" per-
formed another of his unique base
ball stunts during a game against the
Memphis team of the Southern league.
in the ninth inning the "Rube" order

man Brouthers TO the bench and then
proceeded to win the game by strik-
ing out the last two batters facing him

MathewsOn was an interested specta-
tor at the game.
on June 3. 1903, "Rube" was mar
ried to Miss May Skinner three days
after they met for the first time. He
was divorced from her in 1909, al
though they had not lived together for
some time.
Waddell went to the st. Louis
Browns from the Athletics and then
TO the minors. Last summer. for the
first time his skill began to fail en-
tirely, and he was attacked by the first
symptoms OF the disease that finally
gripped his frame. He had gone a
long way and lasted much better than
the average athlete.

Disreputable Methods.

CAS- low as has been the standard
of character of cotton used by the
New York Exchange, see by the pa
pers last Saturday that a big cotton
house, the biggest perhaps in the
United States, which is supposed to
be heavily short on the New York Ex-
change, has been endeavoring to force
the exchange to accept and certify a
large amount of additional very low
character cotton heretofore rejected
by the exchange. l do not believe the
officers Of the cotton exchange will
dare to yield to this demand. If they
do the law should be used to strike
both the cotton house and the eX
change. The difficulty, however, is
that one small, ordinary dealer can
not carry the burden. 1t requires an
organization Of manufacturers and cot
ton men to meet the situation.
81 have certainly pointed out suf-
6cient number of lines Of conduct pur-
sued on the New York Exchange to
show that the system is unfair, if not
disreputable. It's Unfair means OF de-
