NEA Sports Editor

Nicholas Altrock is known to fans
OF more recent years as a baseball
buftoon, but he wasn't always a
clown who required no makeup.
Nick Altrock, son of a Cincinnati
shoemaker, was one Of the great
left-hand money pitchers.
"Altrock was che of the Slyest
pitchers l ever saw Fielder Jones,
leader of the HitleSs Wonders, once
said. HE had a corking curve, a
change OF pace, remarkable control,
a heart bigger than the loving cups
that are his ears. The tougher the
spot, the better he worked, physical
ly and mentally. He was a fine field
er and had the most deceptive move
to first base the game ever knew"
With Los Angeles in 1901, Altrock
deliberately walked seven batters
and then picked them off first base.
1T was the only way I could get
those sluggers out" he beams.
The baseball world was surprised
when Jones opened the World Series
of '06 with Altrock, his spot pitcher
Where were Doc White and Big Ed
Walsh?
Altrock made up Jones' mind for
him as group of White SoX rode
out to the west side park in hack.
COLLINS SAVED TRAIN FARE
What are you worrying about?"
he asked the boss. Jones admitted he
wasn't enthusiastic about the pros
poets of beating Mordecai Brown
and the Wanted Cubs, who had es-
tablished National League record
that still stands by winning 1l6
games.
Don't worry any more" said Al
trock, shifting his chew of tobacco.
Just let me pitch"
That takes terrific load off my
shoulders replied Jones. Il was
wondering what pitcher I'd have to
waste on Brown"
Altrock and Three Fingered
Brown each yielded four hits and
Nick won their memorable duel in
snow furries and cold, 81. The SoX
went on to take the set, four games
to two, Miner Brown evening his
score with Altrock by banking the
Hitless Wonders in the fourth en-
gagement, 10.

New York, June 24,-Dan Ferris,
secretary-treasurer of the A. A. u,
emits mild bleat about what he
terms the public's utter disregard
of other events in the National
Champions on Randalls Island,
aside from the 5000 meters in which
Gunder Hagg ran little j. Gregory
Rice ragged.
why" says the rotund Ferris,
who is Mr.. A.AU., they didn't call
it the 5OO0-meter race. They called
it the Hagg-Rice race. 1t was the
Hagg-Rice race instead of one for
the national championship.
What about Harold Davis

California boy equalled his own
A.A.U. 10O-meter record, 0:10.3, and

SotcheI Paige
In NewHoven

New Haven, June 24.-The Kan
sas City Monarchs, still setting box
Office records with Satchel Paige
as their chief attraction-but with
plenty Of baseball talent to back
him up and to carry on when he
retires from the mound-will play
the West Haven Sailors at donovan
Field, Savin Rock, on Saturday
afternoon. The game will start at
4 o'clock.
Paige, who has pitched in more
than 1000 games during his IS
years on the mound, is still moving
EN- down with his fast one and a
creat turnout of baseball fans is
expected at the Rock when he
makes his appearance there Satur-
day. 1t will be the first time Paige
has shown in this section.
Hailed by baseball experts as bet
ter than many pitchers in the
majors, Paige has backed up these
claims with splendid performances
throughout his career. His remark
able pitching won the worlds COL
ored championship for his club last
year in four straight against the
Philadelphia Homestead Grays.

But Only Main Event Meant Great Deal,
And the Boss Got q Kick Out of 1t Himself

secretary treasurer, was the lion
hearted but hopeless sprint OF Greg
Rice on the last two laps OF his
race with Hagg!"
Yes, only the main event meant
a great deal. The boss got a kick
out of it himself.
Generally speaking, track and
field is dull to watch outdoors.
Strangely enough, it is more at
tractive indoors. !,
officials should enlist the services
of Snowman to sharpen it up like
the famous Millrose Games, which
are presented with vastly more
color than any similar production.
After all, track and field Is the
finest Of sports, and the war has
taught us that it should be ex-
banded and encouraged.
Gunder Hagg runs like Count
Fleet and his long blond hair floats
behind him like Whirlaway's tall.
While Rice wore himself out
warming up for half an hour under
a red hot sun, Hagg remained IN
the GOODNESS of the locker room.
"Why warm up?' asked Gunder
the Wonder. I'm too hot now" The
Swift SWede kept on the grass in
one pre-jog around the stadium,
did not get on the cinder track until
it was time to start. He has rewrit-
ten the training code, but obviously
knows what is best for himself.
Butch LaGuardia stopping traffic
to Randalls Island the day pre-
vious cut the attendance to the
Hagg-Rice duel to 10000. That
meant that the bulk Of the crowd
would have to walk mile over the
Triborough Bridge and to the stadi-
UNI.
Regardless of that, the Army Air
Forces Aid Society got 100000 out
of Gunder Hagg's American bow,
$4,000 coming from advertising in
a 168-page program.
Shutting off the traffic to a bene-
fit in an inaccessible municipal
stadium must have been a part OF
Butch LaGuardia's health program

AltrOck Wasn't Always Clown;
He Was Great Money Pitcher

Jimmy Collins of the Red Sox left
Altrock in Chicago in June, '03 to
save transportation. Nick remained
among the elite only because Jimmy
Callahan, then guiding the White
Sox. then guiding the White Sox,
recalled a two-hit performance he
turned in against the Pale Hose for
Milwaukee in an exhibition game the
year before.
Following a game in which AL
trock had taken royal American
shellacking. Callahan asked Collins
if he had any surplus players for
sale.
The only excess baggage we're
carrying is that bum who pitched
against you today" asserted Collins.
I'll gladly leave him in Chicago to
save paying his train fare east"
MADE HIS MONEY GLOWING
Altrock won SO games and lost 80
for the White Sox the following
three years-19 ard IA in '04, "a and
II in '05 and 20 and 10 in '06. Pass
ing out of the American League in
'O9, he pitched in the American AS
ISOLATION for four years.
Although his big league career I'M
doubtedly was cut short by his re-
fllsal to adhere to training rules, AL
trock had almost as much as ever
when he took another brief Amer
lean League whirl for Clark Griffith
and the Senators in the war year of
10, when he was crowding 40.
Altrock is the joint holder of the
American League record for chances
accepted in a nine inning major
league game by pitcher-13. He
had three putouts and 10 assists in
topping Chief Bender and the Ath-
letics, 81, Aug. 6, '04.
Altrock came along 20 years too
soon to collect important money for
pitching. He could use his World
Series shares of $187463 in 'O6, when
his salary was no more than $2700.
Since he quit pitching 81 years
ago, however, his salary has aver
aged $4,000 and he has made twice
that amount with the aid of vaude-
vile and exhibition appearances
and royalties from syndicated ar
ticles.
With nothing up his sleeve but
his arms, Nick Altrock, the coach
and comedian, is as much a part of
Washington as the monument.

him SO well, and he was that kind
of fellow.
'I'I never forget how he looked
and what he said the day he and
his crew brought their big bomber
home safely and made a dangerous
crash landing after the raid on the

when camp stepped out Of the
battered plane, he stood there look
ing at it and shaking his head.
Then he snapped his fingers and
grinned wryly. Apparently he was
thinking that an outfit which had
come through such session should
survive the war.
Leaving the plane, I suggested
that he must have got a big kick
out of the raid. Lou said that de-
pended upon what I meant by
kick He said he never really en-
joyed flying; but that he had gone
into aviation because he figured
he could be of most help in the war

the thing to do. He explained, You
go out on a mission and, before it's
over, you swear it will be your last.
But you 60 out again and again.
Then camp amazed me by say
ing, It's almost the same with run

run in competition, but I thought
it was the thing to do because 1t
would help me through school and
also help my school. Running Is
great exercise; but competing with
top-notch runners over a mile
stretch is brutal. I used to tell my
self after every race that I'd never
compete again. But the next race
I'd be back at the starting line

when the war would end and he
could get back onto the track. Sit

the sun beat down mercilessly on
his tent, he said, There's plenty Of
miles left in these legs, and I'm
hoping to land place on some ALL

Allied meets after the war. Even
if the war lasts another couple Of
years, I'll still be young enough to

That's why the slender, muscu-

change It's venue in the interest of
war time transportation conserva-
ton. Beginning next Monday, June
%, the twenty-four days meeting
originally scheduled for the pictur-
esque little course near Yonkers,
will open at tn eJamaica track OF
the Metropolitan Jockey Club.
That stable, faithful clientele of
Westchester and Connecticut race
goers who never miss an Empire
City meeting-but seldom visit the
Long Island tracks, will have to re-
wise their midsummer plans. But
they will not find racing at Jamaica
hard to take. There is always cool
breeze at the Long Island course, as
those who attend the regular early
spring and late autumn meetings Of
the Metropolitan Jockey Club will
bear witness. The grandstand Is
commodious; more than half mil
lion patrons sol ,625 to be exact--
attended the recent spring meeting
at Jamaica.
Just about all of the leading thor
oughbreds in training in the East
have been nominated for the nine
time honored stakes of the Yonkers
meeting.
The Empire City Handicap, at
$25 900 added event for three-year-
olds at one mile and three-six-
teenths, will be run on Saturday,
July 8; the Demoiselle Stakes, Of
SIS 900 added, for wo-year-old fillies,

an added feature for the holiday
program, there will be the Question

Outstanding pitching perform

The majority of the boys who
made up the high school teams this
spring are listed on the rosters of
one club or another in the league.
No doubt the high school coaches
will be glad to hear of this because
it results in more experienced play
ers for next season.
Because there are so many high

no ban on the Dusty players partici-
