pitcher in the history of the game,
and was the hero of many queer ex-
PLOTS on the diamond
Waddell had been i'll for several
months, and had come here from st.
Paul, where he last worked as q
pitcher for the American Association.
His mother was at the bedside.
Statisticians today figured that dur
ing the fifteen years he was a profess
sional baseball pitcher Waddell
pitched to 1912 batters.
1t was figured the batters made a
total of 1929 safe hits, an average of
over 400 games and netted 1,124 runs,
about 2.74 runs per game.
Manager Connie Mack, of the Ath-
letics, spoke his affection for Waddell
last night. 81 cannot say how sorry
l am to hear this news" he said, when
told of the pitchers death. He was
the greatest pitcher in the game. AL
though widely known for his eccen-
tricities, he was more sinned against
than sinner. He was the best-hearted
member Of our team, and every man
with whom he came in contact will
verify my statement.
when a comrade was sick, the
RUDE was the first man to see him,
the last to leave, and if he had money
it went for some gift or offering to
the sick man.
He was the making of my team,
and every follower of the White Ele-
plant banner in the Quaker City
knows this in his heart. lie came to
Philadelphia a stranger, but entered
into the spirit of the city, and tried
with all his heart to bring pennants
there. He may have failed us at
times, but to him l and the other
owners of the Athletics owe much"

Frank Caldwell, the old-ti rider,
was In Newark yesterday with a
proposition from the owners of the
new ice hockey rink at New Haven
to run bike races in the big arena
this summer. The rink is called the
Yale Hockey Rink and is controlled
by the Yale Athletic Association. 1t
Is mammoth structure, seating
1000, and u ten-lap track can be built
on the main floor. The building Of
fers two advantages which will prob
ably spell success for the bike game
in New Haven. Cycling has been
very popular in New Haven for the
past three years, but the fact that
the track there is located ten miles
from the city with poor car service
prevented the races from drawing as
we'll as they would under more ia
vorable conditions. Fully so per cent.
of the meets scheduled were inter-
fered with by rain during the past
two years, which made the promotion
of the outdoor track Improbable.
The Yale rink Is located in the heart
of the city, and with its glass roof
the elements will never interfere with
the races If track is built there.
Floyd MacFarland and Edwin New
man, of Cycle Racing Association,
will go to New Haven tomorrow to
look over the building with the inten-
ton of closing q deal for the rent
ing of the structure from the first
of May until the latter part of Sep

pion Frank L. Kramer, who has swept
everything before him on the Euro
pean tracks this winter, was defeated
In the 100 kilometer teams race at the
Velodrome D'Hiver here yesterday.
Kramer rode with Maurice Thys, the
winner of the Tour de France last
year. and they were compelled TO bow
to defeat, as a result of a big COM
bination of French, German and Bel
gian riders
The teams that worked together to
bring about the defeat of the Yankee
and his Belgian teammate were MI
quel and Lapize, of France; Brocco
and Sergent, of France; Applihans
and Packebusch. of Germany, and
Stol, of Holland, and Vanhouwaert,
of Belgium. These teams finished in
the order named In the race.
So we'll did these teams work to-
gether they made 1t absolutely impos-
sible for the Kramer-Thys team to
win. Kramer was in fine form and
Thys was a tower of strength. They
were the favorites and 1t was believed
that they would win easily. From the
start of the race to the finish the bat
tie was directed against the Yankee
Belgian pair.
Teams Worked Kraemer.
When one or more teams got away
from the field the rest of the teams
would wait and force either Kramer
or Thys to pull them up to the lead
ers. This took all the steam out of
the favorites and they were bested
long before the finish. Both Kramer
and Thys rode gamely, however, and
did not give up the fight until the final
lap.
Although a French team won the
race, it was not an all-popular vic
tory. The teamwork which brought
about the defeat of the American
Belgian team was apparent and Kisses
were mingled with the applause which
greeted Miguel and Lapize, after Their
victory.
