SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHIN i'lON SOUTH AMERICAN LOOKS GOOD IN FIRST WORKOUT Argentinian Demands to Know Name of His Next Opponent After He Beats Brennan—Rickard Confident Visitor Is Coming Champion. BY FAIR PLAY. EW YORK, February 23—The South American invader very, much among us today. Luis Angel Firpo—looking anything but what his second name sounds like—did some of his fist-swinging ! stuff in Madison Square Garden gym today before a select gang of fight | scribes and other fisticuff experts. This Firpo person doesn't look so bad at that. 1Ii his ability meas- | ures up to his appearance, those hairy hands and arms of his ought to! carry him a long way toward the goal which Firpo most ingenuously and | with determination insists he will reach, which is, to wit, the heavy- weight championship of the world.

I am inclined to believe that pinety-nine base ball men out of every one hundred will agree with me. y There has never been a pitcher like fathewson in the past and I do not | expect to see another like Nim for the next quarter of a century.

And there are few who have the tre of mind that will develop these ur usual qualities that are given by birth, It was my fortune to lathewson'’s manager during vears of his greatness, and 1 was in a better position to observe his de- velopment, perhaps, than any other man.

Also he | knew how to pitch. He belongs on any all-American team. Addle Joss Another St Addie Joss was another of the star | pitchers of the American League |along with Johnson. He was what | ball players knew as a thinking I pitcher. "Joss was very tall and had |such an easy motion that he could keep the ball on top of the batter all the time without the latter realizing that he was being fooled. Against Joss the ordinary batter was always on the defensive Instead of the of- {fensive. He knew the weaknesses of | his opponents and played them as a cat would a mouse. Addie Joss was indeeg a great pitcher. He was one of th¥ best loved men in the game. Sadly enough, he died while still quite | young. i Rube Waddell was, perhaps, the most picturesque of ail pitchers, as T have pointed out by incidents in pre. vious chapters. He was nothing more nor less than a southpaw freak. No- body ever knew exactly the mental | process that enabled Waddell to think | 50 clearly and quickly on the field and | then do such nonsensical and freakish | things off the fleld. There was never | another like him. I am inclined to believe there never will be. The nearest to him In mental character- istics was Bugs Raymond, though they were in no way alike in pitch- ing. WALTER JOHNSON, Who never h: be on a had the good fortune to hampionship team. Rube Had Huge Hands. ‘Waddell had such tremendous speed and such puzzling deliveries, coming always as a surprise, that he was practically unbeatable. When in good physical condition Waddell always had the game in the palm of his hand. Incidentally that was a most remark- able hand. Rube's left hand was so large that he could completely hide a billigrd ball in it. He was one of the few men who could make their fin- gers meet around a baseball. That gave him tremendous sperd. A base ball to him was like a billlard or pool ball to the average pitcher. By being able to completelyencircie the ball with his fingers Waddell could put iny kind of a twist on it that he de- sire In a previous chapter I have men- tioned Waddell's eccentricities. One that will always live in the memories of fans was his trick of calling in all the outfleld and infleld, with the —————.‘_—__, BEO DO Only TwoDays More in the Annual Sale of HESS HIGH SHOES and Winter-weight Oxfords Thers have been few greater pitchers in all the history of base ball than Walter Johnson. I shall never forget when we went to Washington to play an exhibition game with the Senators and Josh Devore, for the first time, saw the great Johnson. There had been much talk among the players as to whether Walter really had so much smoke or if it was just fan talk. Devore, a whimsical little fellow, walked up to the bat and set himself. Immediately Johnson whizzed one by st that he didn't even sce the ball. He looked around sort of dazed, and he did so Johnson whibped over another. By this time Devore was staring in wonder. Then on popped one into the catcher's ids so quickly that Devore didn't ct a chance to draw back his bat. ? coming back’ to the vou know, Ve be n The advantage of being able to buy HESS SHOES at these extraordinarily low prices bas added many hundreds of satistled wearers to the list of our regular patrons who are satisfied that HESS SHOES ARE TOP NOTCH VALUES AT REGULAR PRICES!

Then he would wind up the side by strik- ing out the batters or making them bounce the ball to him. He did that in several exhibition games, very much to the delight of the fans and to the satisfaction of his own sense of_humor. While Waddell was eccentric—did many crazy things—don't get the impression that he didn't know what he was doing when in the pitcher's box. No all-American team would be complete without Rube. This completes my selections for the one great team of all time. In the succeeding chapters I will present my selections of the AileAmerican League and All-National League teams.
