~ Fully SSS.SSS enthusiastic fight
fans visited Alfalfa Ranch Calias Camp
Hip today to see Oscar Hip go through
his PAGES. Several hundred thousand
more were refused admittance, al
though they were willing to pay 500
apiece for seats. More than million
Mexicans stood on the roofs of the sur
rounding mescal emporiums to watch
the great gladiator at his daily grind.
As a preliminary, Tom Jones, the
famous Spanish athlete, threw a bull,
but this diversion created little en-
thusiasm. even among the MeXicans,

When Oscar appeared in the ring the
applause was deafening. 1t agitated
the atmosphere to such an extent that
it brought on a thunderstorm. With
great presence Of mind Oscar stretched
himself to his fun height and stopped
the thunderclouds with his famous left
jab Then he swung his famous right

Branch Hickey is a funny sort
Branch does not seem to belong at all.

several things that had not been done

that his team viii land in the first

chance to finish there, but land the

that Queer manager.
Billy Sullivan. who has played out
his string with the White SOx, caught
i'm 1900 games during his 16 years in
the major leagues Some Of these were
not fun games. but it would be con-
sentative to estimate that in each game
Sullivan handled an average Of l2O
pitched balls.
one hundred and fifty-six thousand
times Billy Sullivan bent his knee and
save the signal and $4,000 times he
set himself 20 receive the ball. He
takes his marks OF service with him
wherever he goes, for of all his 10
fingers. not one but has its own pc
culiar twist or turn. And when Sui
livan takes tally Of these bumps and
rnarls he can remember Griffith, Cal

I'D Walsh. These were the men who
made his hands what they are today,
and Billy Sullivan would not have a
single finger Strengthened, marred as
they were by mighty men.
It is to be regretted that Home
Run" Baker quit baseball at this time
He couldn't have picked out worse
time to quit the Maclkmen. There is
no doubt that his absence weakens the
team Mack loses one Of the greatest
cleanup hitters in the history Of the
game. His presence was always
menace to the opposing pitcher.
Baker was a far better fielder than
he ever received credit for being. Be
cause he was awkward in his style,
many persons thought he was only
fair man on the defensive. But Mack
and the pitchers never had this Opin-
ion. Official averages show that sea-
son in and season out Baker accepted
more chances than any other third
baseman in the two leagues.
Here is his record:
