GREATEST FEAT IN
DIAMOND HISTORY
Radbourne's Record in Pitching 70
Games in a Single Season Gets the
Verdict

League baseball has been played in
the United States 45 years and III
that time players have performed
some wonderful feats.
Which was the greatest?
A jury OF 10 major league managers.
men paid big salaries for their base
ball judgment, hands the palm to
Charley Radbourne-Old Hoss Rad
bcurne-a mountain of man, who
with Providence in 1854, pitched -
games, record for the number work
ed by a hurler in one season. and won
a pennant for his team.
The honor of performing the second
greatest feat was voted Willie Keller,
who, with Baltimore in 1896, went to
the plate nearly roo times and never
struck out. No other player ever
equaled the performance.
To get a line Of the greatest feat
made out a list of six l regarded the
greatest for individual effort and sub
mitted the list to the managers, with
she request that they pick the one they
regarded best or name some other
feat they regarded greater than any
on the list.
Six of the 10 managers voted for
hdtbt uTHe. IneN were JOnn Me
Graw, Connie Mack, Pat Moran. Clark

MExIco's QUEER MARKET.
Small Booths in San Luis Potosi Where
Plumber is Sold

The so-called thieves market in San
Luis Potosi IS one OF the curious and
characteristic institutions of the city. 1t
consists Of a series Of small booths
along the side Of the public market; IN
these booths practically every article
known to the hardware, plumbing and
novelty. trades may be found at sec
sond hand III every conceivable state
Of preservation or decay. The name o.
the market is no rejection upon the
preprietors nor upon their patrons, but
is an implication that thieves sell in
this market their miscellaneous plum
der
Here are found tools and imple-
ments, knives and pistols, pillow points
door knobs. bottles hinges. valves and
elbows, chains, bride bits, razors. re-
ligious books from the old Barcelona
press, cheap jewelrr, and occasionally
odd pieces Of table silver In fact, any
bit of portable and nonperishable mer-
chandise may be bought or sold in the
thieves market.
1t constitutes a serious competition
for the hardware stores, for if the
householder finds himself in need of
door knocker, hinge, or pane of
glass his first resort is usually to this
market Many parts of implements
from the plantations find their wa to
this market. The proprietors are sal
to deal in more valuable goods, such
as precious stones and metals, but
these are not shown to the public nor
offered to strangers Antique pieces
of brass work, china, and silver may
| sometimes be found but these should
be purchased with caution.
There are no fixed prices. The dealer
gets what he can, depending largely
upon the patience Of the customer. The
lpawnshCps turn over to this market
/ cheap articles in hardware and jewel
| ry which are not redeemed or sold at
auction. Carpenters and cabinet makers
find here their odd pieces for repair
work, such as locks and keys, fancy
screws and hinges, American goods
are sometimes seen particularly bar
