With SO years experience as an ar

been only one Christy Mathewson."
There are some remarkably able
pitchers in the major leagues today

all. He had everything a pitcher ever

Nagurski Skidding.

ON THE performances Of the Pack
ers and Bears in this vicinity it
b rather obvious that Bronko Nagur-
ski of the Chicago team soon must re-
sign his title as the best fullback in
professional foot ball in favor of Clark
Hinkel, the former Bucknell star, who
smashes lines on behalf Of the Green
Bay eleven. Nagurski Is showing the
wear and tear Of many foot ball cam
paigns and losing stiffness, although
he still can knock down a stone wall.
Hinkel Is much faster and one had
the impression he was hitting equally
as hard aS the old Bronx"
Although the 1885 foot ball season
started in August with the All-Star
Collegian-D Detroit Lions game In Chi
cago, it still is not finished. There
remains q professional game to be
played In San Francisco on January
81, and by that time some ambitious
college coaches will have started the
1887 campaign with what Is termed
"Spring practice" It seems there al
ways Is foot ball in business some
where, no matter what the season.

Lauds Pitching Trio.

EMSLIE, who never gave an inter
view when umpiring in the Ma
tional League, and who still Is reti-
cent about talking for the press, also
named Cy Young and Rube Waddell
along with MathewSon.
There were no better pitchers than
Mathewson, Cy Young or Rube Wad-
dell" he says, mo better hitters than
Ed Delahanty or Willie Keeler, no bet
ter first baseman than Hal Chase and
no better all-around players than
Honus Wagner or Larry Lajoie."
Asked what Delahanty, outstanding
home-run hitter of the dead-ball days,
would have done to the lively ball,
Emslie smiled and said:
He'd have hung up a record the
present day kings Of swat would have
had trouble touching"
Emslie, incidentally, has no use for
the lively ball. He comedies it creates
more hitting and perhaps more base
running, but blames it for cutting
down the fnesse of the game.

AS player, manager, club president
and league president, the Kentucky
born lawyer learned base ball along
the steel-spiked base lines of the old
days and through the red and black
ink of the front Office.
Bramham was elevated to the presi-
dency of the National Association of
Professional Base Ball Leagues at the
minor league convention at West
Baden, Ind, in 1881. Relatively,
base ball leagues were busting faster
than banks then.

He HAD played base ball in semi
pro circuits around Hopkinsyille,
KY, his birthplace, served as presi-
dent of the Durham club and organ
lied the Durham Carolina League in
1921. At one time, in the early l92Os,
he was president of four leagues
simultaneously-the old South At
lantic, the Virginia, Piedmont and
East Carolina.
When he became king of the bush
leagues" Bramham stuck the hypo-
dermic needle into minor base ball and
squeezed in enough hard-headed busi-
ness practices to bring it through
the depression years. His accomplish
ment preserved the spawning grounds
OF major league talent.

roll when he started as president at
