CARTER GREATEST OF
COLLEGIATE PITCHERS
Has Been Compared with Walter John
son and Grover Alexander.

There have been some great pitchers
in collegiate circles. Many Of them would
probably have made stars in professional
baseball. and some have stepped out of
college into professional ball and made
good. But II ever you start an argument
regarding, who was the greatest of all
college pitchers In the presence of any
old Yale grad. you win hear the name
OF Dutch Carter, and the argument will
be warm If you dispute his right to the
laurels.
Carter was Yale's star chucker from
1892 until 1895 and although Yale boasts
of many star beavers of the horsehide,
them as the brightest star in college his
tory.
Back in 1893 he pitched for the Yale
varsity. and Harvard beat him two
games out of three. But in the two years
that followed Carter reigned supreme and
he won both the Harvard and Princeton
series for Yale. He also had the pleas
ure of beating the Giants on the Polo
Grounds, and when he left school he
could have demanded rich salary, but
he turned a deaf ear to all offers.
Those who remember Carter say that
he could have won rank along with Amos
Rusie, or even the great stars of today
johnson and Alexander.
Carter loved baseball. but he thought
more of the sheepskin that gave him the
right to hang out his shingle, and he
settled down to practice law. So the bar
cheated baseball out OF wonderful
pitcher. II we are to credit the state
ments of old Yale grads.
