middle of the season OF 1897 and
hit .544 my very first year.
We were on an eastern trip
when Waddell joined us at Wash
ington. He was the first real bug,
as we now call them, to get a
lot OF publicity over his freak
stunts. Up to that time the
writers took base bali very seri-
ously and wrote about it just
like the financial experts talk
about the stock market.
notice there has been a lot OF
discussion lately as to what
started the idea that left-handed
pitchers are bugs. | don't pre-
tend to speak with authority, but
! am sure that the idea started
with Waddell. He was certainly
entitled to the honor, if it be one,
OF putting the left-handers i'll

Waddell. II was instructed to

can do it, if you want to risk it.
So Waddell bounded up the
stairs and in a minute was knock
ing on Clarke's door. Fred
finally woke. up and wanted to
know what darn fool was both
ering him.
ITS me, Rube Waddell, your
new pitcher" the southpaw
shouted through the keyhole.
