his title against Johnny Brown, the
English bantamweight king, who Is
now here looking for a. crack at the
title.
Brown has been here before, sim
ilarly ambitious, but upon the occa-
sion of that visit he did not even get
chance to try for the gonfalon OF
his class Better luck may be in the
offln%-maybe.
AS for Rosenberg, now that he is in
his home diggingS, he is making lot
of noise about tackling the best that
the promoters can dig up. Charley
knows better than any one else that
this is just noise. Maybe he is try

Johnny Brown. the English bantam,

Mig" Clark down in Corsicana,
Tex, made eight home runs in one
game. Doak Roberts who is now
president of the Texas League, says
the fences We're all right, too. Indeed.
he declares that on one side Of the
field there was nothing between Clark
and New Orleans, except some stray
steers and Charley Roses shack The
players who were in the game insist
that the fences We're little abbrevi-
ated, as they remember thin.
Three minor league pitchers. in
their day, have struck out 20 batters
III one game. That is better than the
major league record. One of them,
Mitchell, came to be major Lacquer
IN tim, but he never struck out 20
batters in the majors. He was with
San Antonio when he made his record.
Davis Of Knoxville struck out 20 and
so did Applegate of Paris, Ky.
The great no-hit game of the minors
was pitched by Fred Toney, before he
was captured by Chicago, Cincinnati
and New York In succession, and Fred
never pitched another game like it,
although he was one Of the great
pitchers of base ball from the mechan-
iCal standpoint Brought up in the
North, where the boys begin to play
ball from their knickerbocker stage,
Toney might have become the greatest
pitcher ever produced as a winner Of
ball games and as man of endurance.
He had it in him but he could not
get it out.
On May 10, 1909, Toney pitched a
no-hit Trimming game, with 10 strike
outs, for Winchester against Licking
ton, Ky. That is one of the most re-
markable feats of base ball. The
strength of this man was enormous
and his grit unbelievable, yet he col
lapsed one afternoon on a red-hot
diamond at St. Louis after pitching
for the Giants one of the great games
of his career. He had eaten enough
liver and onions at luncheon to kill an
ordinary human being.
For endurance however, there was
