Although he is still known by the infantile appellation of “Babe” Charles B, Adams. the Pirate pitcher, is not so young as he sounds. Accord- ing to vitatl'statistics on the subject, *“Babe’ will be thirty-two years old today, having heen born 3t Tipton, ind. May 18, 1883. A Hoosler by Lirith, Adams became a Jawhawker Ly adoption, and played his first pro- fessional ball in the Sunfiower State. 1t was with Parsons, Kan,, in the de- funct Missouri Valley league, that Adams debutted into the national pastime ten years ago. > News of the pitching prowess ex- hibited by Adams began to percolate { beyond the confines of the state made famous by William Allen White, and reached Denver. In 1906 “Babe’ be- came a Grizzly in good and regular standing, and his showing in the Western league was such as to com- mand attention . in major league circles. Adams remained m the Colo- rado metropolis & couple of seasons. In 1907 he was given a tryout by the St. Louis Cardinals, but was sent back to Denver. Late in the 1907 season he was given another chance in the main show, this time by Pittsburg, but was turned down. In 1508 “Babe” played with Louisville, and he pitched so well for the Coloneis that Fred Clarke called him back to the Pirates in 1909. “Babe” helped pitch the P'irates to a pennant that annum, and in the world’s series against Detroit he was the bright star. The Pirates an- nexed the world's flag tha: year by four games to three, and Adams twirled three of the four games won by Pittsburg, © “Babe's!” performance in the world's series was so spectacular that he ‘was hailed as the star of “slabdom, but his subsequent performances have not equalled his early promise. Adams is a good pitcher, but not a Mathewson 1or a Plank. . In pitching as everything else it is 'f 0id Daddy Time who applies the acld test. The Hall of Fame ien’t opened to slabmen on the strength of a brilliant to this they had succeeded in de- to Secretary Tumulty a letter president, written on the stationary of onal executive committee of ssional \Unfon for Woman and appealed to the president §8 “powerful aid to remove the ' disabilities of women.” Mrs. alck in her statement said: *'It I8 sort of thing which, in the | of many women, might serve sck suffrage in this country.” Summer membership for 4 months—$3.00 Mqthewson ’s Return‘ to Form °| ficlally filed at New Haven. | MATHEW SONY] started on the down grade at last; that he was going the route of all good pitchers; that he was passe, in Yact. But Matty did not share their gloomy i views. He admitted he was bad, but 1 sald that with the arrival of real base- ball weather his arm would limber up and he would be as good as he ever was. On his fifth start of the season | he way registered his first win of ihe i season. That he will win many more is as sure as fate, and that he will again be the mainstay of the Mc- . Grawties is surer, if such could be pos- : sible, i thowing in one spectacular serles, nor even is one or two years. Adams was the central figure/in the limelight for a time, and he has shown well since, but it is the old reliables of the pas- time, like the Old Master and Gettys- btury Eddie, who occupy the nitches in the game's Hall of Fame. “Smoky Joe” Wood, Russell Ford, Vean Gregg and dozens of others are men of bril- liant performances, but they couldn’t stick over the long route. In flelding Adams ranks among the best of the National league slab ar- tists. Last vear he led the league's pitchers in that branch of the game, playing in forty contests with a field- ing percentage of 1,000, no error being chalked up against him. In 1913 he made one error, and in 1812 his record was errorless. Adams had a very poor batting eve when he first appeared in the National league, and finished his first season wiith the Pirates with the swatting percentage { °f .051. He fattened this'to .193 in 1910, to .252 in 1911, and in 1818 raade his high batting mark of .289. Y.ast year his batting slumped to .165. Last year Adams won thirteen and lost sixteen games, which was not so tad considering the erratic support given him by his teammates. In 1913 Adams stood second to Christy Mathewson among the National league twirlers, winning twenty-one and los- ing ten games, with an average of 2.15 runs earned per nine-inning game, SIX IN ONE INNING. Michigan Puts Game Away Second. Syracuse, N. Y., May 18,—Michigan took the first game of the eastern trip i from Syracuse here yesterday by the score of 6 to 1. Both teams fought evenly as in their former tie games this eason, except in the second in- ning, when the Syracuse team went to pieces for a few minutes. Four hits, a base on balls, two errors and a stolen base found their way into the score sheet during the first half of the second inning and when the smoke rose, Michigan had shoved six runs across the plate. The score: r. h e 060000000—6 9 1 Syracuse 000000001—1 7 2 Batteries: Ferguson and Benton; Turnure and Travis. i in the Michigan ,..... | niciation to ‘ the LUSH POPULAR AT FORDHAM. One Week of Success Makes Him Idol of Campus. New York, May 18.—The Fordham- Eastern college game scheduled for tomorrow at Fordham field probably will be cancelled, as the Virginia nine is said to have abandoned its north- | ern trip. The Maroon nine under Coach Lush has scored thirty-five runs against Dartmouth, Army and Notre Dame during the past week. A total of farty-five hits have been made and the Maroon nine has stolen over a dozen bhases. Coach Lush has prescribed a new system of signals for the ’varsity, an answer being necessary from the player who takes the tip before the play is attempted, and not a slipup on the inside points of the game has occurred on the Fordham' nine since Lush has assumed charge a week ago. In the short period the new coach has handled the Marcon nine he has proved himself the most pop- ular coach who ever handled a Ford- ham team. HARVARD TAKES NO ACTION.
