Pittsburgh Star.
His Clever TWirIing Won Worlds
Championship Eleven Years Ago
Still Has Plenty of Stuff and
Knows How to Use It,

Babe Adams is the most remarkable
athlete now hurting the pill in the big
leagues. BY all the laws of nature
he should now be cOmbing his long,
white Whiskers and relating to his
grandchildren the tale of how he
pitched the Pittsburgh team to a
worlds championship in 1909-eleven
years ago.
But here he is still in the flesh
though there is more of it clinging to
his frame than there used to be-and
still around shaking a mean arm and
shutting out National league teams.
Ten or twelve years ago Adams
MathewsOn and Brown were the three
crack pitchers of the National league
In those days the Pirates, Giants and
Cubs always operated in the first divl-
sion.
Brown faded out seven years ago.
Mathewson passed out little later.
