SPORTS OF T MATTY IS SAVING HIS WHIP Biant Star Pitcher Is Now Relying on Abllity to Outguess Batter Rather Than Speed. Christy Mathewson, it 1s said, 1s using a different system of pitching now from what he did formerly. Matty realizes that he canmot last forever, yet he wants to stay as long 18 he can. Consequently he is giving bls arm all the rest he can. A New York critic has this to say of him: “Mathewson is saving his mighty fght arm. As he grows older Sir Christy Mathewson. Christopher realizes that the time s approaching when he will be com- pelled to retire. For that reason he doesn’t use great speed at all times, but employs methods that keep his fielders busy. It is only when he finds himself in tight places that Matty puts smoke on the ball to bowl over the opposing batsmen. Headwork, rather than brute strength, is the secret of Mathewson’s pitching this season.” ST. PAUL AS BASEBALL FAN Would Be Enthuslastic Rooter and At- tend All Games, Declares Rev. Dr. Young of Brooklyn. One Sunday in each year 18 devoted by Bedford Presbyterian church of Brooklyn to a sermon on baseball. The services are held under the aus- pices of the New York league of Y. M. C. A. baseball teams. This year’s serv- lce was held recently and the sermon was delivered by the Rev. Dr. Edward Young. He told his hearers that St. Paul, if preaching in America this summer, would undoubtedly be an en- thusiastic fan and would attend the games. “Paul was an enthusiastic sports- man,” the preacher said. “So close was his friendship with the presiding officers at the great games of west- ern Asia as to excite their very active solicitude in his behalf when Paul seemed In danger—so records the Book of Acts. He used athletic terma frequently, speaking of himself as a runner and boxer and figuratively ap- plying the term “great umpire of the skies” to his Master. “A bad time came to the ball fleld ® few years ago when betting and sold contests ruined the game, but now young men are here taught honor, the slightest infraction thereof being vis- ited with exclusion from the fleld.” One by Tim Hurst. Tim Hurst, the former major league umpire, was asked one day what was the closest and hardest decision he ever made, says the Sporting News. “It was in Baltimore,” he said, “Jen- mings was on first, McGraw was on gecond and Stenzel at the bat. They started a double steal. Jennings aa he passed Long, hit him and Long tripped him, after which Jennings went on and jumped into Collins. Tenney tried to hold McGraw, but he ‘broke away, reached second and kicked the ball out of Lowe’s hands. Stenzel swung his bat and hit Robin- son on the hand trylng to keep him from throwing. Robby tripped me and poked me in the back to keep me from seeing and Stenzel spiked my foot.” “How did you decide it?” was asked. “I called it a foul ball, sent the runners back and kicked Stenzel on the shins,” sald Tim.

P POOOPOOOPPPOOOO®OO @ With the Boxers. ® POPOPOOOOOOOOO®O®D Matty Baldwin has received an offer from a New York boxing club, to meet Matt Wells, the English champion.

HE DAY | NEEDHAM GOOD CARD PLAYER Catcher Is as Strong at Card Game as at Baseball Game— McQGraw Pays Compliment. Tom Needham is an expert at both the national games and if he could “catch” as well at baseball as he can at poker, he would be a star of the country. His average on fllling straights In the middle is .640, from which the average of his other catches may be judged. John Mo Graw pald Needham the highest com- pliment he ever received. Thereby hangs this tale. % The New York club had been on the road for weeks and Needham was catching every other game of ball, and everything possible in the poker me. The team returned for a long stay at the polo grounds and a-young recruit from the west joined it for a tryout. The youth was extremely. quiet and revying, and seldom had a word to say to any one. Several of Tom Needham. the old players tried to get friendly with him, but could not penetrate his reserve. One day one of the players called McGraw aside. 2 “Say, Mack,” he whispered, “there’s something wrong with that kid." “What’s wrong with him?” snapped McGraw. “I think he's a bit crazy,” volun- teered the player. “What makes you think so?’ de- manded McGraw. “Well,” the player hesitated, “I've been tryin’ to talk to him for a week and all he’ll say is ‘Good.’ ‘That's “He ain't craxy,” snorted McGraw; “he’s been playing poker with Need- bam.” MANY HURT IN BIG ' "AGUES Regord-Breaking Season of Injuries to Basoball 8tars—Every Crack Has Been Retired. This has been a record-breaking season of injuries to balldom stars. At one time or another almost every orack In the circuit has been retired, with the list of broken bones and cracked digits topping all past per formances. ! Those {injured, struck down with sickness or otherwise unhorsed in the Natlonal include Titus of Philadelphia, broken leg; Evers of Cubs, sickne: ‘Wiltse of Glants, broken finger; Mey- ers of Giants, finger split; Hofman ot Cubs, injured leg; Chance-of Cubs, tnjured ankle; Evans of 8t. Louls, droken hand; Rucker of Brooklyn, sprained ankle; Barger of Brooklyn, broken finger; Clarke of Pittsburg, in- Jured leg; Kaiser of Cubs, broken fin- ger. In the Américan they embrace: New York—Chase out weeks through fllness, Knight out ten days through sickness, Vaughn out five weeks through sickness, Wolter out (injured leg), Hemphill out (sickness), Fisher out (sickness). :Detroit—Gainor out 'with broken leg, Jones injured in col- Qsion. Ohbicago—Callahan (broken fin- ger), McConnell (injured leg). Cleve land—Lajole out months through sick- mess, Jackson (broken finger), Young {(llness), Joss (death). Boston—Wag- mer (wrenched ankle). Philadelphia— Barry (wrenched ankle), Collins (il ness), Coombs (illness). Washington —Johnson (illness), Summerlott (wrenched ankle), Ainsmith (broken leg). PITCHERS DON'T LOOK GOOD World’s Champions Predict Jennings’ Youngsters Won’t Stand Gaff Through Season. , On the basis of their showing against the world’s champlons, the juvenile pitching talent of Detroit does not look like any parade of ex- ceptional merit. In fact, against the Macks the youngsters looked like a punk and bush outfit, and it was the wonder of the champlons how the deuce they managed to stand up as well as they have shown. None of them proved to be stars. Lively has a fair spitball that, when it Is breaking well, is likely to fool some of the weaker vesesls, but he has nothing else, and the Mackmen spun his shoots all over the lot. Cov- Ington looks fairly good, but doesn’t shine. ‘Works is mo better than he ever showed, and Lafitte has been ill. Thus a fair estimate cannot be made of his ability. - ‘The vetergns are in no shape, and on this basis alone it is hard to see where the Tigers can keep up their pace unless thelr : twirlers. deliver more than they showed against the Macks. ~ If the Chicago pitchers, the New York pitchers and the Athletic twirl- ors keep up their usual standamd of pitching they will form an alliance that POLICEMAN AND ~ ROBBER DIE IN (Continued from Page 1.) notified and the patrol and pnl{ce ambulances were sent. Ollinger was taken to the hos- pital where he died at 1 a. m. today. McCarty’s body was taken to the morgue. Escaped Convict Identified. Detectives at once went to the morgue to identify the body and Captain Nick Smith and Captain Frank Fern both positively identified the body of McCarty. % Immediately after the shooting the police went through the neigh- borhood expecting to find Peter Juhl, who escaped with McCarty from the state penitentiary. They looked for everyone who might have been with McCarty. Poolroom Man Arrested. In their investigation they arrested A. H. Dennison, proprietor of a pool- room at 2422 Central avenue. . Den- nison had been seen talking to Me Carty a few minutes before Ollinger took up the trail. He was taken to police headquarters where he con- fessed that he had been in McCarty’s company a great deal in the last month. He said he had taken the man around in his automobile but denied that he had participated in any crime and said on the other hand that he did not know the man was a criminal. The investigation extended over almost the entire area of North Min- neapolis. Sought by Prison Deputies- Just before Ollinger had forced the battle with McCarty, four peni- tenaitry guards sent by Warden Henry Wolfer and Detective Fraser of St. Paul, searched another section not far away. The warden had heard late in the day that McCarty and Juhl had both been seen in the vicinity of Monroe street and Fourth avenue NE. The guards went to the place and search- ed the neighborhood and the saloons, but McCarthy was at that time in New Boston and just as the prison guards left, Ollinger began tracking him. : Every Shot Takes Effect. At the hospital the physicians tried to save Ollinger’s life but their efforts were fruitless. Every bullet in McCarthy’s gun had taken effect. Five entered his abdomen and one went through his neck. Ollinger’s aim, too, had been al- most perfect, for his first shot is thought to. have caused McCarty’s death. Ong bullet went through Mec- Carty’s heart and another entered his head near his left eye. That the men clinched the police- men are certain, although the place where they fought was dark and the combatants could not be seen plain- “REVOLVER FIGHT| Iv: McCarty’s nose was broken and his head was badly bruised, as though the policeman had beaten him. S Fifteen Years on Force, Ollinger, the dead policeman, was an experienced patrolman and had a good record in the department. He was 52 years old and was appointed to the force in August, 1895. He was out in 1901 during the Ames administration, but was reappointed in 1902 and served continuously af- ter that. ‘He was six feet three inch- es tall and his physique made him an adversary worthy of MecCarty. McCarty and Juhl unlocked their cells early Saturday evening, March 4 and slipped out the side door of the cell house, scaled the walls and escaped from the Stillwater peni- tentiary. The escape was the first from Stillwater in nineteen years. McCarty had made similar escapes from two other penitentiaries. At Stillwater he had been employed in the machine shop and it is supposed it was there he made the keys with which he liberated himself and Juhl. McCarty and Juhl were in cells about 100 feet apart, McCarty in gallery No. 1 and Juhl in No. 4. The escape had been carefully plan- ned. Prison officials believe the men opened their cell doors simultaneous- ly and made the dash for liberty to- gether. Pedestrians saw the gray- garbed men climb the wall near the railway gate and hurry away in the darkness. Both were model prison- ers and had been accorded privileges of the first class. They had not been obliged to wear stripes and conse- quently were not conspicuous by their clothes. McCarty and Juhl are thought to have studied the movements of the guards and chosen a moment for their escape when the backs of all rifle bearers were turned. ‘When the escape was discovered a general alarm was sounded. Guards on and off ‘duty, clerks and other at- tachees of the institution were hur- riedly summoned and the chase was taken up. Remarkable Criminal Career. The career of McCarty was one of the most spectacular in the annals of American crimes. While serving a sentence of eighteen years in the state prison at Fort Madison, lowa, he managed to escape although close- ly guarded. A few years before, while serving a similar term in the Montana penitentiary, he had suc- ceeded in escaping. In all he served four prison terms. The offense which resulted in his sentence from Hennepin county was an attempt to shoot Patrolman Jonas Jonassen at First avenue S and First street in October, 1909. A number of holdups in that part of the city Jonassen became suspicious of Mec- Carty and attempted to question him. McCarty drew a large revolver and fired it at the policeman. By a sudden twist the patrolman escaped the bullet. Sergeant Mike Lawrence |sen’s . assistance. ~Before McCarty. could shoot again Lawrence struck him over the head with his club and knocked him down. McCarty was a ‘man of powerful physique and the policemen were -unable to handcuff him, owing to: the abnormal size of his wrists. He was sentenced in De- cember, 1909, to ten years in the penitentiary at Stillwater. ~McCar- ty’s arrest in Minneapolis occurred less than a week after his escape from the Iowa prison. He said, after being locked up, that he believed Jonassen was about to take him into custody for the Jowa authorities. McCarty had once before served time in Stillwater but then finished his term without an attempt at es- cape.

General Craft, an attorney of Terre Haute. Ind.. was once called into a Jewelry store in the town to settle 2 dispute. “See here, general,” explained the proprietor. “if I take a watch from Mr. Smith here and make repairs that cost me 10 cents and then keep it hanging up for a week and charge him $6 when he comes to get it, what per- centage do | make? We have been | figuring for half an hour and only get up to 900 per cent, and that is but a dollar, so we decided to leave it to | you." “Well,” said the general gravely, “you must know that it is a fact, and it has been demonstrated by calculat- ing machines, that at certain points in progressive numbers the law govern- ing them changes. In your case th ilaw would change long before it reach: ed the $6 and would run out of per centage and into what is known and designated as larceny.” Open Door and a Light.
