suaded possibly to play one more year
with the Pirates. but some doubt IL.
Here's Adams own story.
81 cannot explain my lasting much
longer than many other pitchers on
any other theory than this: 1 always
take things easy; and / never worry.
/ discovered many years ago that
when l exerted myself / was not so
effective. for the mere effort of trying
to be uncommonly good distracted my
mind from the simple task of pitch
ing. The new changes in pitching
rules have bothered many of the
veterans. but / do not mind them very
much. My only kick was the rule
which prevented a pitcher from rub
bling the gloss off a ball. Now the
umpires do that, and everything is
o. X.
II am confident that I could pitch
one or two more years, perhaps
even longer, but I am not certain
that ] want to make that effort. /
have travelled around the circuit so
many times that / am tired of 1t
all, and as much as l like baseball
nothing would please me better when
this season Is over than to retire
to my Missouri farm and confine
my connections with baseball hence
for tn to reading about big games
in the sporting pages"
What sort of a chap is Babe"
Adams? Well, briefly, he is the
most lovable sort of a fellow you
ever met. He has the sunniest dis
position and even temper that ever
blessed a man. His private life is
clean, his habits correct. and he is
ever a gentleman. But what is more,
he is Pittsburgh's popular idol.
When Adams goes to the mound
in the coming world series he will
have several of hi sold 1909 team
mates to whoop her up for him.
First of all, there will be George
Gibson, now manager of the Pirates,
who then was catcher with Adams.
Then there will be Honus Wagner,
bow-legs, baby, bull-pup, and all.
Likewise, there will be Deacon Phil
lipee, who pitched in that great world
series, and Fred Clarke is coming
all the way from his home in Kan
sas. The old-time Pirates will back
Adams to the sky with their cheers
and their rolls.

Beginning Sunday, July 81, the
Griffmen played seven games last
week. They won SIX and lost one,
the Cleveland Indians finally succeed
ing In fracturing the winning streak
of the home brigade. And over
that stretch of seven games the Grit
men made five misplays. Detroit,
playing six games. had four. the one
club to Guido the Griffs. The White
Sox, playing but five games, were
tied with five errors.
This weeks figures are vastly diff
ferent. Counting last Sunday 9
game, the Griffs have engaged In
four tussles, all against the st. Louis
Browns, and they have been charg-
ed with fifteen misplays. In add.
ton, at least half dozen mental
errors might be dug up by the peev-
ish reviewer. We are not feeling
peevish today.
Team Falls Down.
During the second tour Of the
West. the fielding of the Griffs was
atrocious. Games were thrown away
by dumb playing and by plain boots
wherever the team was playing. Now
the team has fallen down into the
same hole from which II emerged In
ils lihdi NiClofy III betoit III DC
weeks ago.
OF the fifteen errors five have been
charged against Frank O'Rourke,
now to be replaced by Bob LaMotte.
He had one Monday and two each
Tuesday and Wednesday.
Bing Miller was checked up with
three errors, two in that wretched
Sunday exhibition and one on Tues
day.
Hank Shanks, yielding with the
others. made two boots in the st.
Louis series. So did Bucky Harris,
who was saved from another when
Dixie Davis failed to touch second
on Tuesday.
Rice, Milan and Mogridge were
each charged with one misplay.
Fifteen errors in four games tells
a vastly different story from five In
seven games. They come mighty
close to explaining the three de-
feats in four days.
Browns Tough, Eggs.
The Brownies are tough eggs for
the Griffs, malSek no mistake about
that. Seventeen games have beer
played between them and the Mound
City gang has copied ten to sever
for the Griffs. This is the poorest
work for the Washington club

In lSO8-twelve long years ago
Babe" Adams. In the worlds series
that year. was the hero. Then moth
ing more than a rookie, he won three
games of the series. 1t was nip and
tuck between Pittsburgh and Detroit,
ana Kid Adams separated the Tigers
from the worlds championship. He
was the wonder pitcher Of that time.
Some years since then the great
Babe" didn't play the greatest brand
OF baseball extant. Mali dozen
years ago they said he was through,
and II did at times look like II. But
last year Babe" took a brace. He
has been popular idol hereabouts for
long time. Win or lose, the gang
was always for him and they boosted
him when they were roasting other
players.
But Manager George Gibson made
wonderful progress last year toward
nag.winning team. but he couldn't
: quite come across. During the winter
/ Gibby plotted and schemed, and he
tswapped and dickered until this spring
Ahe had a promising looking team when
they went to training camp.
After the season opened and Pitts
burgh set the pace the croakers said
It was spring flash, and the Pirates
would blow up, but they are still going
good.
Realizing that Pittsburgh would
come mighty near having a winning
team this year, Babe" Adams deter
mined he would pitch in one more
worlds series. He has his heart set
on that, and the smiling veteran has
been pitching his. head off all season,
and every time you see Adams chalk
ed up on the score boards as the
pitcher you can get your money down
that Pittsburgh is pretty sure to win
that game.
Pennant Hungry.
Pittsburgh is hungry for pennant.
1t has cast Sleeps eyes at the pennant

quitting is good. He may be per-
