Teschner and William Rosenberg. re
sspective winners of the 100-yard and

Waddell Pulled
Feat Alexander
Might Balk AT

CHICAGO. Jan. 12.--There was dis
land Alexander in local sporting
centre the other afternoon, because it
happened that several baseball fans met
and such discussion has been quite
in order ever since President Weigh
man, of the Cubs, announced that
Grover has become one of US. The gen
eral opinion Of the fans was that the
Cubs now possess one of the greatest
pitching stars of all time.
Naturally the talk brought up other
stars of the past and present and led
to the question. "Who was the creates t
pitcher OF all time? ?" A story told last
summer by Bill Dinneen, American
League umpire and former pitcher for
Boston and st. Louis, helped in solving
the question. Dinneen's story, saved for
the hot stove league, was about as fol-
lows:
"Back in 1904, the Boston club was
in hot fight for the pennant, the sea-
son was nearly over, and we were
booked in Philadelphia. 1t was RUDE
Waddell's turn on the slab and We
needed that game. Before leaving tho
hotel we conspired to get Rube's goat
Big La Chance was playing first base
tor US and was the huskiest man on
our outfit. We decided to have La
Chance lead RUDE into a friendly wres-
thing bout before the game and per
haps tire him enough so we could beat
him.
During the batting practice RUDE
was fooling out at first base and La
Chance started joshing him about fish.
ing and hunting. When an opportunity
presented itself, La Chance would give
Eube friendly shove or slap on the
back. One shove led to another a bi,
harder. and just when La Chance
thought he had the big left handler
worked up to the point of graphing
he was given the surprise Of his life
without giving warning, Rube
yanked off his glove, grabbed La
Chance with both hands, raised him
clear up above his head and Their
dashed him to earth in aheap.
LA Chance was barely able to PLAY
frst that day. and RUDE shut US OUT

kins. and the men who hamper the
democratic development of the game"
At meeting held at the 7th Regi-
ment Armory yesterday it was ar
ranged to postpone the annual national
indoor championship lawn tennis tour
nament for men until Saturday. March
so. with the finals set for Saturday.
April 6.
Julian S. Myrick, acting president of
the y. S. n. l.. I. A., and King Smith,
president OF the 7th Regiment Tennis
Club, arrived at this decision after
considering the matter from all angles.
Last week it was announced that tho
tourney might be cancelled, the lack
of coal to heat the big armory' being
one of the reasons advanced. 1t would
have marked the first interruption in
this tourney in the nineteen years Of
its existence, so the decision to con-
duct the event this year, even though
at later date, will be welcomed.
There are several advantages in the
new tournament date. In the first
place, there will be far better light
in the nrrnory for the players. There
will not be any question of freezing
temperature to contend against, either,
and in addition. the holding of the
tournament around Easter week will
not leave such long gap between the
indoor season and the opening OF out
door play.
Undoubtedly, there will be many of
the younger stars represented in the
national indoor tourney this year.

with the close attention shown by the
Brooklyn pastor.
There came, yesterday, a brief note
from the Rev. Fitzgerald, addressed to
MY. Ned Uawth orne," and asking us
to ran q notice about the grand annual
smoker of the Presentation Club, Ber-
gen Street and Rockaway Avenue,
Brooklyn scheduled for next Wedncs-
day evening.
Now, if there is anything that warns
the cookies Of our heart it is to be
called "Ned." 1t sounds so free and
easy, SO democratic, so hail-fellow- WE'LL
met. Frederick, Fred and Freddy seem
commonplace in comparison. If the
Rev. Fitzgerald had addressed us by
any one of the last three monickers we
would not have paid SO much attention
to his request. But as it is, who are
we to resist NED?
We proceed: "On Tuesday evening,
January Is, the Presentation Club Of
Brooklyn will conduct its grand annual
smoker at the clubhouse, on Bergen
Street and Rockaway Avenue. In past
years this affair has always come up
to expectations, and this year prom
ises TO be no exception. Tho arrange
ment committee, which has been busy
for some time, has succeeded in pro-
curing the services of many notables
in both boxing and wrestling circles.
From present indications this will be
the biggest show that the club has ever
put on. The special feature this year
will be the picture of the Mccoy
O'Dowd fight. Between the bouts there
will be offered singing and vaudeville
acts. Among others who will appear
are Bull Montana Helmar Johnson,
Gunboat Smith, Harry Pierce, Bob
Rush and frankie Callahan"
There it is, just as the Rev. Fitzger-
ale wrote it, and it looks like a good
show

held for trial by Magistrate Brough on
Friday, reserved decision on the mo-
ton of N1r. Bien to discharge O'Gatty
from custody. Bail was fixed at $500
and the defendant paroled in custody
of his counsel for two days, to permit
the securing of bond Attorneys for
both sides were requested to submit
briefs on Thursday.
O'Gatty was one of the boxers who
appeared in bouts at Billy Grupp's
Gymnasium on December IA. Elr. Bien
told the court that O'Gatty had in
quired before entering the ring, if an
admission fee was TO be charged, and
had been told no admission would be
charged.
