Mats FAIL Apart, Etc.

IN MAY the Mats began to fall apart.
Men were bought, sold, traded and
traded for. A catcher by the name
Of John Riddle was procured from
the American Association in exchange
for Hogan. He did all right until one
day he complained that his arm was
sore. X-rays showed Clipped bones
in his elbow :. chips that had been
there for years. Mr. g. yelled "Po-
lioe!" and demanded Hogan back. He
got him and then let him 60. The
Bees since have purchased Riddle.
In June or early July the Mats got

be mentioned. The hurler worked an
extra-inning game against another
club and in the gathering dusk he got

way, he reached first base and re-
marked to the enemys guardian Of
the bag:
"Why don't you hit = home
run and let us get out Of here?"
It got around, Of course. AS soon
as it reached authoritative ears he was
sliced of the roster. I guess that is
base ball, too.
Anyway, it now is late September
and going on October. BY dusk next
Sunday 1t will be all over for another
year. They start new chapter every

Zachary Had Perfect Year.

A Lien, who probably is No. man
on any American League UNI
pire's list Of cantankerous ball play
ers. has six-year major league per-
centage Of .744. He has won "a games
and lost 20 since he broke in with the
Yankees in 1882 and started to argue
with the umpires.
Almost any excuse is good enough
to send Allen into \ loud dispute over
q decision. Now almost 32-he will
celebrate his birthday Thursday in
Chicago-he still dislikes umpires al
most as much as he dislikes to lose 4
ball game.
He has never pitched worse than
.667 in campaign. In his first year
with the Yankees he won II and lost
four. The following season he won
Is and lost seven. Troubled with 4
lame arm in 1884. he won five and
lost two. In 1885 he turned in 13 VIC
tories. six defeats. He WAS traded to
the Indians for the 1885 season and
won 20 games, losing 10 for the .667
percentage.
The only other major league pitcher
with 4 perfect record for 4 season
was Tom Zachary. who won II games
and lost none for the Yankees in
1929.

Lewis Nears 2O0th Hit.

RUDDY came through nobly. He
spanked a single to center, scoring
two runs and putting Ferrell on third.
from where he scored on Buddy Lewis
single to center and made it IA.
Thus it was that Yves Ferrell picked
up the Mats pitching in the ninth. only
to lose Kohlman's lead when three
Athletic hits. plus an error by Blood
worth, enabled the Macks to tie it up.
Ferrell and Lynn Nelson, who re-
lieved Kelley. then battled on even
terms until the Mats failed to score in
the eleventh. BY that time darkness
was falling in great gobs and Mr..
Willie MCGOWAN, the chief ump.
appropriately called it a game.
Probably the outstanding item con-
nected with the game was the hitting
OF Lewis. Three hits bounced off Young
Buddy's bat and now he needs only
three more to enter the select circle
OF men who will have made 200 or
more hits in the majors this season.
