three things he was too well stocked to re-

control Ruth in the main, depends upon
his speed Waddell had the speed. but with
this he nterpolated "A curve that came

Rube was a canny, cunning workman and
no part of a boob
In one of his last few games after he
had been released by Mack and turned
over to st. Louis. he asked permission to
work against the club that let him go as a
has-been. He drew the assignment and the
T}ube responded by striking out seventeen
Mackmen and establishing q league record
He was out by the end Of the trail con-

enough stun left to strike out more men
than any right-hander or left-hander In his
league had ever done before--or has ever
done since.
