The History of the Worlds Greatest
Colored Pitcher
Sporting Editor of The Whip by Richard Whtorth

my first year in base ball. At that time l
was with the Chicago Union Giants then
owned by Peters. pitched thirty-seven
games that season being returned win
ner in 30 of them the season of 1915. l
signed with Mr.. Rube Foster of the
American Giants Ball Club and from
that time until now | have played for
him. | have found Mr.. Foster to be a
square fellow and good friend even
TO those who are not deserving. In my
first season with the American Giants,
he did not allow me TO start a single
game, he used me as relief pitcher; of
course this was not hard to take. He
had wonderful pitching staff that
year, all men who were capable of finish
ing their games. | would sit on the
bench and decide what kind of ball !

hitters. / felt that | was quite ready

start of the next season I had all the
confidence of seasoned pitcher, so he
decided 20 start me. He did and / won

found that my arm was o. X. was de-
lighted to find Foster right again. He
has given me the benefit of his years Of
experience, gained by him while pitch
ing. A young pitcher is indeed for
tunate 20 have an experienced pitcher
who has the art of fooling the hitters
at his finger ends and better still, is al
ways willing to assist you. If am con
sidered good pitcher which is my wish,
Mr. Foster should have full credit for it.
You asked that give you in my opinion
the best ball game ever pitched. l
think my masterpiece was pitched at
Palm Beach in 1918. Joe Williams

while | was with the American Giants
representing the Royal Poinciana. We
had gone in to the 8th inning with the
score IL. In the next inning the Royals
get two on with two outs. Jewel hits

l was on that one l would supper in
Chicago. Duncan, our left fielder dives
for it, gets it in his meat hand, turns
complete somersault and comes up
with the ball. Six thousand 10000
persons broke into applause and the
players say was still applauding while
they were under the showers.
The writer of the above story in my
opinion is one of the best pitchers in
baseball He has truly made a bust
ness of baseball. He studies his games,
he sits during a game looking at what
is being served 10 the hitters as they
face the other pitchers, remembering
their weakness and slowing this in
formation for future use. He breezes
along when there is no one ON bases,
should hitter get on, he tightens up,
using all the cunning of the fox that
he is to get the batter in the hole. He
seems without nerves, cool, calm, and
deliberate as seasoned veteran, he has
an ideal disposition and he is one of
the greatest pitchers, his color is the
only thing that costs him ten thousand
dollars year
A word to the young men who con
template becoming ball players; look
him over, because he is good model
to work from.

Schorling s Park, Sunday afternoon
The American Giants took one of the
most exciting games this afternoon from
the Cuban Stars, winning in the tenth
frame. Whithworth, RUDE Fosters ace,
was sent to the mound in the first of the
tenth after Wickware had passed Junco
and La Blanc was sent to run for him.
Whithworth famed Jiminez who is one
team, and caused Portuando to pop
up to De Moss. The Giants pulled the
game out of the fire in the tenth after
two were gone, Dixon, the peppery lit
tie catcher, singing, sending home De
Moss with the winning tally.
The Giants were ON the tail end of
a three to nothing score till the eighth,
when Baro S error let Grant in with one
run after two were dead. De Moss
doubled, scoring Barber with the second
run. In the ninth Torrenti's double,
Dixon s out and Francis long sacrifice
fly tied the score.
The crowd was the biggest of the
year. The Gunthers will play Sunday
with Sullivan, who tried out with the
White Sox this spring pitching.

marvel ten long years. He has all that
is needed to be what he is, the smartest
baseball player of all times.
He has brains, something the aver
age ball player is not annoyed with
He has speed, he has the ability to think,
and the CUTS TO attempt 10 execute his
thoughts.
He is about two thoughts ahead of the
ball players of today. While training
the White Sox Club We were playing
Detroit at Detroit in the ninth inning
with the score tied. Cobb is up. He
hits fly ball over second base about ten
feet. Ping Bodic, who is playing center
al that time came in at top speed TO
try for the ball. Cobb has turned first
going TO second. Slows down as though
he was going 10 stop. The BAN drops at
Pings feet. Cobb, who t.as' never
stopped, puts on all gears, going to third.
Bodie hesifated for a second, gets set for
the throw and let's go of the ball. Cobb
looks 20 see where the ball is, and judges
it will hit in the base line near third
base. Lee Tannehill was playing third
and stoops 20 get the ball on the bounce
as the throw is short. Cobb slides just
as the ball hits and hits ball and base
about the same time. The ball bounds
into the Detroit dug-out. Cobb is up
and scores before the ball is recovered.
So they call il days work. Raymond
Schalk, the "World's Greatest Catch
err of the White Sox Ball Club, is the
one player that Cobb does not fool often
in o season. When Ray sees Cobb close
his mind and start TO run, no matter
what base ne is on he thinks the safest
place for the ball is in the catcher s
hand, and the catcher s foot on the home
plate. The ball players are just as de-
si,ous of seeing Cobb perform as their
country cousins. Every bench
