His work this year has been phenomenal.
Together with his teammates. James and
Tyler, he holds the key to the Braves
success. They piled up a record of TWEEN
ty-six consecutive wins for Stallings be-
fore being stopped. Rudolph gathered
string of eleven straight wins as his
share and then was beaten by only one
run in Philadelphia.
But to beat New York is his one great
ambition. Revenge is sweet you know,
and Dick Rudolph always did have a
fearful craving for sweets.

Boone has developed into one of Chances

Dave Fultz figures that the main blow
al base ball interest has been delivered
through the overwheiming success OF
the Giants and Athletics OF late years.
TO a certain extent there may be some
thing to this. but not so much as Mr..
Fuitz believes. Base ball interest was
never greater than from 1905 through
1910. And yet in this stretch of time
the Cubs won four of the five National
League pennants-which is more than
either the Athletics or Giants have done
so far. And in the American League.

In 1911 Rudolph was a member of the
Giants but did not meet with the APP

who Is fond of large pitchers of the les

Dick Rudolph was sent to Toronto.

Will Dick Rudolph. whom McGraw

out of the pennant?
It's not only possible but even prob
able-stranger things have happened.
Dame Fortunes wheel is bad gamble.
So. who can tell? Maybe the necessary
impetus lies in the Boston twirler's good
right arm to cause the hand of defeat to
point toward McGraw when the big
wheel stops in October. If 1t does. then
we will see revenge in the first degree.

CITES HOBLITZELL'S CASE
Thought Change in Surroundings
Will Bring Out Best Qualities
Of Ball Player.
CITES HOBLITZELL'S CASE

NEW YORK, September 4.-Often a
change in surroundings has the effect of
bringing out the best qualities of a base
FAN player who is suffering temporarily
from a slump. That Is the idea John
McGraw had in mind when he purchased
Marty O'Toole from the Pirates. There
is little else Of a tactical value sug-
gested in the deal by which O'Toole
comes to New York when the race is so
close that the Giants can afford to ia &c
no chances in experimenting.
OToole's record since he Joined the
Pirates has been a sad disappointment
He went to Pittsburgh from St Paul
with a great reputation. and then pro-
ceeded to act the role usually played by
base ballers who join team in SUCH
circumstances. He failed from the start
and not once has he been able to show
the pitching skill that had made him
famous in the American Association, In
fact. he has traiied off so much that
waivers We're recently asked for him by
the Pirates
But many a player has shown his true
value only after a change Of surround
ings, and McGraw believes O'Toole will
include himself in that class The case
of HoblitZell is a striking illustration of
this point. Hoblitzell when playing first
base for Cincinnati two years ago was
recognized as one of the best first base
suddenly slumped without rhyme or rea-
son. and Charlie Herzog, the Reds
new manager, was forced to ask waivers
on him.

1t is all very we'll to dissect flower

the fact that the intestines of a clam
run through it's heart, but such edu-

to wade up to his knees in the cold

Fundamental training is the neces-
sary thing that is lacking today.
Even the trade school lacks these
fundamentals The boy studying to
be a carpenter would be better car

will do for man. In the trade school
the boy makes something out of what
he has. He does not think back OF
that. He does not realize that the
wood makes fire for him, that the fire
can be used as tools, that the tree
even produces food. He will learn
value of woods such as he could nev-
er learn in the schoolroom, and,
knowing that value. he could work
more economically and produce better
work.
