Steele, which opens FL .ay at the
Queen theatre.
Near the Rpinbow's End Is a
story Of thee bloody days In the
old west Wien cattlemen and sheep
ralSers Fdttled fiercely for possess
sion Of the ranges. The star. Bob
Steele. noted for his superb horse
ranship, is cast as jim BledSoe, son
Of a cattleman who fences in his
ranges to keep out the sheep Of his
neighbor, Tug Wilson, a sheep

jim, warns Jim of Bucks plans.
Buck and his gang capture Jim and
tie him 10 a tree and proceed to
cut the fences. Wilson, although a
sheep man, agrees that old Bledscoe
Is right in thus protecting his range
and Is killey by Buck for interior

blame for the murder on Jim. How
it all turns out and how peace once

Balm MAY STARTLE
GOTHAM RING FANS
BY WILBUR WOOD.

n YEW YORK, October 22.-An in
M quiring reporter no doubt could
journey from the Battery to
the Bronx, If his dogs held out,
without finding any one who gives Able
Balm chance to take the light-heavy-
weight title from Make Rosenbloom
when they meet in Madison Square
Garden tonight.
Yet there have been such upsetS.
Ring history, even the chronicle OF
championship contests, Is studded with
startling form reversalS. Going back to
the beginning of the glove era, it was
considered a sign of sortening of the
brain if any one suggested that Corbett,
the California dude, had chance with
Sullivan, roaring Boston strong boy.
Johnny Buff wasn't given q look-in
with Pete Herman, but he won. Recent
ly the New York Boxing Commission
barred Fields Thompson bout with the
statement that 1t was too lopsided. The
mach went to Detroit and Thompson
took the title from Fields.
Billy Mccartney, old song and dance
man of the sock market, recalls that
the sharps gave AID Wolgast no chance
to win from Battling Nelson when they
clashed at Port Richmond, Calf, on
Washington's birthday in 1910. VOL
CAST won on a technical Knockout in
the fortieth frame of what was to have
been q Aground battle.
Mccartney was promoting in San
Francisco and had Nelson's promise to
fight for the title. When Wolgasg came
along and won from Lou Powell, fair
lightweight, in 20 rounds, Mccartney
offered him the match, which Ad ac-
cepted for $4,000 guaranty.
So in spite Of fistic form, Balm may
come through.

SPEEDY "A" WHITES
OVER 100 BATTERS
~EarnshaW, HadIey Also Do
WelI-MaIone, HaIIahan
Old Loops Best.
BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

N YEW YORK, October 22.-AS
M base ball fans continue to
4 argue over the world series
J, pitching, especially the
comparative effectiveness of Lefty
: Grove and George Earnshaw OF
the Athletics, it is of interest to
. note that unofficial figures give
: the most strike-outs Of the 1880
season to Grove. His total is
;. above 100, and there is reason
= to believe that the Philadelphia
southpaw will be in the lead when
the official averages are made
+, public. Earnshaw is second in the
American League, with more than
1876.
Both Grove and Earnshaw are speed
pitchers. Both of them have curve
ball, that of Grove being more OF
bender than Earnshaw's.
The st. Louis Cardinals, in the World
series, said Earnshaw had more speed
than Grove and more speed than any
pitcher against whom they had batted
during the season. In the last game OF
the series, at Philadelphia, the Cardi-
mails found the speed of Earnshaw bet
ter than it had been in the game he
pitched In st. Louis.
HadIey Well Up in List.
-, The third pitcher in strikeouts in the
American League Is quite sure to be
Hadley of Washington. He, too, is
speed pitcher, so 1t is evident that
speed was very effective against Amer
lean League batters. Ferrell OF Cleve-
land will probably be fourth In strike
outs. -.
:. In the National League the left
hand pitcher with the most Strikeouts
A quite sure to be Hallahan Of st.
Louis, with about ITS. Hallahan has
Q wider curve than Grove and perhaps
a more deceptive curve. He puzzles
batters with his curve ball quite as
much as with speed, although on day
when he Is at his best his speed Will
carry him through q hot-fought con-
test.
will run almost even with Hallahan,
but he will not have as many strike
outs as Earnshaw. Malone and Root OF
Chicago, both right-handers, probably
: will follow Hallahan and Vance in
order, Malone having more Of strike
out record than Root.
Speed Great Asset.
The information TO be gained by
these records is that, with the present
style of batting, speed carries through
more successfully against the free
swingers than the curve ball. This
seems to run true enough except in the
case of Hallahan, who can call upon
Q capital curve to help him when he
has control of 1t.
Managers are trying to find curve
pitchers and insist that the supply Is
running far below normal. 1t Is true
: they look for speed with curves, but
they would gladly sign all Of the pitch
ers Of the Mathewson and McGinnity
type they could find. Both Of these
stars had speed and q splendid assort-
ment Of curves under full control.
