Mckechnie Has Last Laugh,

a LOT of base ball men laughed
when old Bill McKechnie sat down
at his desk last Winter and signed a
flock OF rookie 'old men" for his Bos-
ton Bees, Generally, it was consid-
cred somewhat of a joke that Old Bill
was going to bank on candidates of
freshman experience and senior years.
But Bill, as usual. proved about as
foolish as McGraw For the rest of
the league is kicking itself now over at
least one OF Boston rookie veterans
Fette. This 'youngster" is 30 years
old, and for the last few years has
been doing a workhorse act with con-
siderable success for ST Paul of the
American Association.
Why none of the other big league
clubs never gave him tumble remains
mystery. But old Bill took a chance
and today Fette is one OF the three TOP
elbowers in the league. He has beaten
every club that he has faced. and he S
faced them all except the Giants and
Philles.
The only club to top him SO far is
Pittsburgh, nosing him out Al earlv
IN the season. Yesterday was revenge
day for Fette in big way, as he hand
ed the league-leading BUGS their first
shutout of the year. He blanked them
with seven hits for so win and his
sixth victory against one defeat this
season.

TIME boys along the base ball
front were picking a nice, quiet
second division berth for the
Dean-less St. Louis Cardinals
today.
At the same time, the talk that
wasn't given over to the Dean doings
was directed at the work of another
pitcher, Lou F'ette, who's been proving
himself the surprise package of the
Boston Bees and the 1897 National
League rookie crop.
Without their great pepper offer, -
whether he's right or wrong in his
row with Ford FTiCk, the Cards are
anywhere up to 20 games weaker, de-
pending on how long he's going to be
on the outside looking in AS a re-
suit, if his suspension lasts for any
length of time, the Gas House Gang,
which already is deep in a pitching
depression. figures to wind up back of
the eight ball and out of a piece of
the series melon.
If they do. two clubs, the Bees and
the Dodgers, may fight it out for the
fourth spot in the final National
League line-up-the Dodgers, because
Burleigh Grimes has given them a
shot Of dynamite, and the Bees, largely
because of Fette.

KING
CLEANS Up CLASS
Stops OIin, Now Must Turn
to Ranks of Bigger Men
for Opposition.

- T. LOUIS, June 4 lP,.-John
Henry Lewis, champion who
has outclasSed his class, today
- cast speculative eye over the
heavyweight field where a good law
yer is the best sparring partner and a
right in the court the most Furnishing
blow.
The Phoenix phantom practically
exhausted the raw material in the
light heavy division last night when
he stopped Bob Olin in the eighth
round of a scheduled 15-round title
bout.
For again demonstrating he is the
best at his weight, Lewis received
$4,000 OF s23872 gross gate.
Oiin's Rib Is Cracked
nL1N. from whom Lewis won the
crown IN 1885, received 49, per
cent and cracked rib
The cracked rib was the result of
crushing right in the fourth round
which sent Olin down for a seven
count. He went down again early in
the eighth, and on the third down
Referee Walter Heisner decided it was
time to punt. He rushed over to the
nonchalant Lewis and raised his hand
in token of victory, by technical
knockout.
Olin, who amazed by his stamina in
staying Is rounds with Lewis in 1885,
apparently was in no distress until the
fourth round

nNLY the game fish, huh? Well,
Gerald Walker is another. When
the Mats first invaded Detroit this year
Walker was leading the major leagues
in hitting and all Flivvertown was
hailing him as the next batting
champion. .---
Buck Nevsom pitched the second
game OF the Washington-Detro series,
and on Walkers trip to the plate the
big fast-baller of the Mats hit him
on the elbow, which Gerald threw up
protectlngly to keep from being hit
IN the lace. 1t was painful blow and
conveyed message from Newsom to
Keep loose at the plate"
man who would play safe
would walk up the next time and
not crowd the plate, as Walker
crowds it. But Gerald didn't.
And the next time up he hit
home run.
Even more conclusive was the proof
to gameness that Walker gave on the
current trip. NewSom again was pitch
Ing and on Gerald's first time at bat
another fast ball, high and inside.
MADE him throw up his arm. There
was an ugly, sickening smack and
most OF the crowd thought, as Walker
groveled in the dirt. that he had been
struck in the face. His wrist, however,
took the blow.
Here was another message, grim and
dangerous, but Walker disregarded it.
He drilled into a double play the next
time up, but then he singled off New
som and then he doubled driving
Buck out of the box with this blow.
On his next trip Ed Linke was
pitching, and Linke had beaned
Bobby Doerr already this season.
But Walker teed off on him and
banged q double.
Finally, with Joe Cascarella pitching,
he started the eleventh inning with a
single that instigated a game winning
rally. -Four straight hits after a ball
travelling at rate Of 120 miles per
hour, probably had missed killing him
by the breath of a wrist.

nahan in the head with a fast ball
Bresnahan was carried to a hospital,
where his condition became so critical
that his wife was notified to come
from Toledo at once.
When Mrs. Bresnahan arrived the
next morning Roger was still uncon-
scious. Many people thought that he
would never play again and that if
he tried his nerve at the plate would
be broken.
"Bresnahan's injury was such that he
had to stay out OF the lineup for six
or eight weeks. And it so happened
that on the day he rejoined the
Giants they were playing Cincinnati.
Our pitcher that day, coinci-
dentally, was Coakley. and John
McGraw sent Bresnahan to bat
for somebody.
From my position in right field
watched closely for a sign that Bres-
nahan had been made plate shy. What
l saw was this: Bresnahan stepped
into the first ball pitched and smashed
1t against the left-feld fence for two
bases. If he hadn't been slowed down
by his long lay-off, he might have
