Blue RIDGE LEAGUE
DROPS hans HORSEY

Hansen Horsey, Of Galena. Nd, who
for several years was rated as the
cleverest moundsman in the Tri-State
League, and for the past two years a
leading pitcher in the Blue Ridge
League, was handed his first release
since he broke into professional base
ball at Chambersburg, Pa, on Wednes-
day. May 80 Horsey's release came
as a shock not only to the players in
the Blue Ridge League, but has al
ready caused much comment among
his many friends. To the time he was
let out, Horsey had won three and
lost one game this season. Horsey has
played professional ball eight years
and It can be said that he was a big
favorite both to fans and team mates
in every city that he wore a uniform.
Throughout his career he has been a
cons stent winner. He at one time was
the possessor OF a variety OF benders
and was slated for the majors, illness
caused his downfall.
During his last three years on the
rubber, Horsey depended mostly on
headwork to pull him through TO vic
tory. Horsey was fortunate in having
the main asset OF any winning pitcher
control. II may be recalled that
Horsey was stamped by Jimmy Jack
son as the best pitcher in the Tri-
State League, although a member Of
an opposing team. Horsey expects to
hang up his spiked shoes as far as
professional baseball is concerned. It
is said he may work on the mound for
the Wilmington Steel Company team.

BARCLAY PUTS BOZZE'S
SHOULDERS ON MAT

The keystone Field Club gave its
weekly wrestling match in their
rooms, Thursday night, before a large
crowd. Four Of the best bouts
that have been seen at the club this
season were on the program and the
fans left well pleased with the show.
John Barclay, the former New York
welterweight, undertook the hardest
job he has had at the club this year.
when he took on Herbert Booze. a
heavyweight, weighing 1876 pounds but
after Is minutes of the hardest kind
OF graphing he downed the big boy
with an arm lock and reverse body
hold.
The second fall came after eleven
minutes. when Barclay secured an
unbreakable head lock together with
an arm scissors.
The other bouts we're also hard.
Young Hackett downed Whitley John
son in two falls, the first in six
minutes and the second in eight
minutes "a seconds.
Jack Connor got into the limelight
again when he downed Harry Powell
in two straight falls, the first IN two
minutes and the second in three.
The first bout was one of the hard
est seen at the club this year. It was
between Louis Lewan 1s1 pounds,
and Joe Mofitt, 176. After 26 minutes
OF hard work, Lewan succeeded IL tos-
sing his man with a reverse body
hold. II is probable these men viii be
rematched next week, when John Bar
clay will meet the Chester crack,
Jack Wilson.

Eating Himself Out of Baseball
Mamaux is Putting Crimp Baseball By
trolling His Appetite.

VIII Al Mamaux eat himself out OF
baseball?
The star Pittsburg pitcher OF 1915
and 1916 has failed TO show anything
so far this year which in any way
resembled his wonderful effectiveness
OF tho last two years and those who
know him intimately say that the
youngsters refusal to take advice and
curb his appetite is the reason for his
failure.
Mamaux should be one Of the most
effective pitchers in the league this
year But % years old, there is no
reason why he should not be better
than last year. II he takes proper care
of himself
Mamaux does not dissipate, in the
way dissipation Is generally regarded.
He does not drink nor does he or
dinarily keep late hours
But Mamaux eats anything any
time and uses no judgment in his Sc
lection OF the food He is just as like
ly 10 make a night OF lobster and fee
cream as not and he cats much candy
and rich foods which threaten TO
ruin his digestive organs.
The change in Mamauxs pitching
is told in the figures.
He has worked In FIVE games this
year and lost all Of them, two TO Gin
cinnati, two to st. Louis and one to

Chicago. He did not work in a full
game on the eastern trip and was
not effective when he was started He
has allowed a fraction under FIVE
earned runs per game this year.
In 1916 Mamaux won q and lost
IS games and allowed 2.53 earned
runs per game. In 1915 he won 2i and
lost games allowing 2,03 earned
runs per game.
II Mamaux eats himself out OF base
ball he VIII be following the example
OF Elmer Flick who ruined his stom-
ach by heavy eating and was forced
10 give up what might have been a
promising baseball career.
Flick would eat a heavy meal be-
fore going out to play baseball Most
ballplayers cat only a little soup or
bowl Of milk.
Many players with great prospects
have lost out in baseball because OF
not using good judgment in their
habits.
Larry Mclean. who could have been
one OF the greatest Of catchers. kid
ded himself out of baseball Mclean
refused to take himself, HIS job or
anything else seriously. Dave Rob-
ertson came close TO making the same
mistake, but John McGraw saw what
was coming and talked Robertson
into looking at things more seriously.
