handled the offerings of many wonder full twirlers. And I have seen many phenoms in action. But few of them ever have eclipsed in natural pitching ability a youngster named Hogan, who played with me on the East Brookhcld team and later joined me when I was with Meriden. Hogan had speed that truly could be called binding. He had a drop that was marvelous-and mere. It broke so swiftly and so suddenly that it was a ball practically unhitta- ble. Mixed with these he had a won- derful slow ball, and, best of all, Hogan had courage and brains and pow erful phy that stood up under ev- cry strain in those days. Unfortunate ly for Hogan and for baseball, the youngster took sick and died quite sud denly just at a time when his work had attracted major league attention and he was slated to be graduated into the high-class circuit. It has always been my feeling that if Hogan had lived to serve out a pitching career his name would have ranked with that of Radbourne, Rusie, Mathewson, Young. Alexander, Johnson and the others.

ing in. And ever since I have tried to teach my own boys to be generous to the faults of newcomers who are get ting their first trial in the majors. Many a promising youngster has failed simply because his teammates have hindered, rather than helped, him.
 Naturally. the class of pitching which 1 was asked to handle in the majors was far superior to that which I had encountered as an ordinary thing, with the East Brookfield club, with Meriden or with Hartford. But I had been extremely fortunate in my earlier years to have been on the receiving end of the exhibition game hurling of some of the big leaguers who used 60 play small towns in their odd moments so as to pick up little extra money
 Among them was Jumping Jack Jones, who had been a member of the Athletics of 1883. He was one of the had a style of delivery which gave pitcher was privileged to take a hop and jump before delivering the ball Jones went to rather a peculiar ex- treme in delivery and all around the circuit crowds turned out to see him perform in a way that was highly reminiscent of a jumping jack.
 Jones passed out of the major leagues soon afterward, but the sobri- quet chung to him through all the years afterward He had a wonderful voice and after he quit baseball. it is my rec ollection that he went on the stage and did concert work and ranged for many years among the song celebrities.

Long before the last game was played in 1890 it was obvious that the organization was doomed to failure. And so, all of us began looking around for jobs in the National.

Powderly Showed Under
 by LipscOmb Team, 13 to l

The Lipscomb baseball nine ran rough shod over the Powderly club yesterday afternoon at the Lipscomb field, by the overwhelming score of 13 to 1. The Powderly team was helpless with the stick, as the slants that Upton, the Lipscomb pitcher, twirled at them were too much for them. Upton was only touched for two safeties during the game, while his teammates hit Hall at will, securing ten bingles off his of- ferings.
 Besides the superb twirling of Upton. for tho home team, the fielding of Dow den for the same club was excellent. This boy pulled off some classy work on the diamond during the game.

Heaven may protect the working girl, but there's no hope for a wild pitcher.
 The Pelicans couldn't touch Samuels fast ball-neither could Peters, hardly. Morrison tied Sam's free pass record and then decided to throw 'em over and duck. At that Merry worked fairly well after he recovered from Buck" weavers heart-brealIing homer with the bases choked.
 Billy Webb and Eddie Mcdonald cleo trified the fans with several circus catches yesterday. In the fourth in ming Webb stabbed Suilivan's hot grounder with his bare hand and threw to second base, where Eddie made an other stop, killing Daniels, who had walked Both stops were wonderful and the fans for the time overlooked the humiliatmg score long enough to give both men a hand. In the sixth McDon- aid ran over near first base, cut down FieIders drive and aided by Bernsen's nice pickup robbed the runner of hit.
 The fans were anxious to see Torkel- son, the Pelican pantomime artist get his bumps after he relieved oung ana they enjoyed the Baron rally, even though it fell short of the necessary total Torkelson is one of the clever est clowns seen here in a long while and his antics elicit much applause from the bleacherites Incidentally the jcvial Pelican pitcher does much to rat tie the opposing team when cutting up on the coaching lines Monday he pulled off pantommie dice game poker game, prize fight and drunk, which stunts al- most eclipsed the ball game for time.
 The Barons are hitting well now and their fielding has been fairly good, but that's as far as we can go. We hate to wear out that old hoodoo alibi, but it must be- admitted that something IS on Moley's neck. For instance, the Baron bauers drove out eight or ten wicked drives yesterday that went foul by few feet Then, too, every Baron error has occurred at critical moments and it has seemed that every bad bounce gees against the locals.
 Moley is one of the hardest working managers in the game today As soon as each battle is over he rushes back to the hotel, gets long jimmy pipe and sits quiet smoking for an hour or so thinking what, if any, mistakes he made in the days work. Moiey IS ot the driving type of manager, but his men swear by him and lots of them admit that they have learned more base

ball since they came here than ever be- fore. It hurts Afoley worse to lose a battle than it does anybody in the world and you can bet your bottom dollar than he is not overlooking anything or playing any favorites in running the team.
 Lefty Sigman is doped as the Baron pitcher today, with probably Dick Rob ertson opposing him. In case Daubert's s finger is sufficiently recovered to. allow him to play short Buck Weaver may draw the hurling assignment. Sigman pitched a beautiful game in his only time out thus far and if he does as well today nobody can kick.
 Pat Duncan is rapidly acquiring the reputation of being the hardest hitter in the circuit. When Pats drives are caught they usually jolt the fielder who makes the out. Peters is holding up well in his hitting, too, and under Moley's tutelage should be able to clout up among the leaders.
 Everybody knew Webb could hit when he got started, but the way Dutch Bern sen is swatting the pill now has caused Moleys mug to be wreathed in smiles. Bernsen deserves the support of the fans, for he works hard and is putting out a fine brand of ball now.
 Tom Stevenson bingled twice yester- day and scored each time. Tom also handled 10 chances at short without the semblance of an error. The Barons have made II double plays in the six games to date and many of them are due to Toms lightning work around the key stone.
 Frazier hasn't quite come up to expec- tations thus far, but then he has an awful tough job trying to fiji Billy South awful tough job trying to fill Billy South too much of him. Give Bill chance and he will hit the ball at a lively clip.
 gentleman of chance whom we hap pened to encounter yesterday stated that he always bet against the Barons until the first of June, after which he switched over and backed Moleys men. Of course, these fellows are not to be considered, but their method of figuring is interest ing and nearly always accurate.
 The University of Alabama will tackle Techs team on the Tuscaloosa campus this afternoon and tomorrow. Noojin is anxious to get away with this series which will give his nine the southern championship.
