Joe McGinnity is through with base bail unless he can arrange to take over some minor league franchise. The Iron Man declared himself this week fo New York. He came to town to interview Manager John J. McGraw, but slipped up on seeing hie former boss. MeGinni not play in the American association, nor will he play in the Eastern league “I have made up my mind on the matter,” said he. “If | am through with the big stuff I'li stili figure in the big way somehow or not at all.

It was hore that the split between McGinnity aud McGraw occurred. But, in McGinnity's wind, the pen- nant was not thrown to Lhe Cubs by the excusable ove ight of a plain rule by Fred Merkle. The latter was a youngster who had made the great leap from th owest professional com- pany to major league.ball.

There have been all sorts of storles that the Waterbury club was in a bad way financiall dent Tracy said that the vommittee failed to find anything that would justify such rumors.

Corcoran of New Haven, the former National rager, who wants to buy the club, was on hand, and so was Joe Connor, the Spring- fleld catcher, who is al=o sald to have managerial ambitions. it was said that Dan O'Neil has designs on the club and that at the recent league meeting | New Haven Mr. Connor told Dan Nell that he would like to buy the ciab and have the ex-Pony magnate g0 In with him. Mr. O'Neil said that he had no personal interest in the af- fairs of the Authors whatever, but «imply came as a member of a com- mittee to represent the league. It is id that Bill Luby of Springfield also wants to become a manager and buy out Waterbury with O'Neil as a part- ner. Tommy Corcoran came to Water- bury on Thursday also to have another conference with Mr. Durant in rela- tion to buying a controlling interest in the club. Mr. Durant told the com- mittee that he would have nothing to | do with baseball this coming summer. Harvard Drops Carlisle, Takes Brown.

More Than/One Pennant Lost Becauss | of a Wild Heave—Clarkson Lost One. If you were a baseball player'and played with a team that led in the ace most of the time and then lost the champlonship on a wild pitch in | the fa and deciding game of the | you'd feel pretty sore, wouldn't | you? The death of John Clarkson | recalls the fact that not only have at | least three league pennants been lost miscue of that kind by a pitcher cost his club the world's championship. It was in 1886, when the Chicago Nationals and St. battled in the world's occurred. Clarkson p and which proved the deciding game for Chicago, and St. Louis scored the winning run on a.wild pitch made by John. Dr. Pushong, the brainy catcher of the Browns, now dead, was at bat with Curt Welch on third base, Clark- son let loose a wild pitch which got by Mike Kelly, and Welch scampered home with the run that won St. Louls the world’s championship. The old timers remember how the Athletios won the championship in 1888 on & wild pitch. It was in the last game of the season. The Athlet fos needed one more victory to insure them the pennant. They wound up the s2a%01 at Louisville with a series of four games. The Louisville players, spurred on by offers of big money from Chris Von der Are, whose St. Louis Browns had a chance to tle the Athletics, tried all they knew how to earn the cash prom- ised them by Chris to take four stralght games from the Philadelphi- ans. The Athletics had played them- selves out and were sadly crippled after the hard campaign they had gone throngh, Louisville had won the first thres games, and 1t looked bad for the Ath- letics, Then came the final game and Guy Hecker, Louisville's great pitcher of those days, was sent In to adminis- ter another Peating to Billy Sharsig’s nen. After a fierce struggle the score Louis Americans was a tie when the ninth inning opened. Stovey. the Athletics' ‘star mitter nd greatest base runner in the coun- , made a bit in the ninth and worl his way around to third base by the time two of his teammates had been disposed of. Then. with two down, Hecker made a wild pitch and Harry raced home wifh the run that won the game and gave the Athletics the champlonship. In 1908 a wild pitch by Jack Ches- bro.cost the New York Americans the pennant. On the last day of the sea- son New York and Boston were sched- uled to play two games on the same afternoon.

FROM TOWN BULLY TO WORLD GHAMPION. Rise of Stanley the Ketchell—Led Gang in Youth, From the leader of the toughest street Grand the upan likely white candidate to meet Cham- plon Jack Jo?nlon. . Something like ten years ago was a gang in Grand Rapids known as the “West Siders,” and, this crowd had the entire city terrorized. The leader of this gang was Stanley Ketchell, and for dare-deviltry and nerve he was far superior to othsrs. After the gang was broken up by the police “Keach” started on the wander. ings that were to take him through Canada and the western states. At 13 years he was cooking for a grain outfit in TIowa; two months later he was a firenian on @ threshing machine engine in Winnipeg, Canada, and from there he roamed through the Great Northwest, living as best he could, but seeing the country and all the time acquiring a love for the open that has never cooled. “I didn’t care much about being a professional fighter,” said “Ketch’ in telling of his boyhood days, “but I just wanted to do something. T ran up against a fellow In Butte named Mau- rice Thompson, when I was a bellhop in a hotel. He licked me and I licked him. ‘We used to go to the floor together whenever we met. Then somebody got me a match with him in a prelim= inary. He bett me, but then they all sald I could fight, though I really didn’t think_so. “Whenever T would go Into the ring I thought here's where Stanley Ketch- el gets his. I was scared to death half the tlme and could see. myself licked from start to finish. But now things are different.” Ketchell 18 not a typical pug. Neith- | er doés he resemble a retired mission- ary or a young business man. He has a "personality all his own, and his walk, talk and gestures remind one of the open. Ketchell is a product of the west, and looks it. He isn't a swagger boy with a fluent command of the latsst slang phrases and swear words. He talks in a low tone, does not boast of his accomplishments nor tali of what hie is going to do. CLABBY'S RECORD.

Fred Pfeffer, himself one of the best players that ever walked on tHe diamond, says there never was a pitcher who could equal John Clark- son in the matter of control. Pfeffer declares that Clarkson always could | put_the ball exactly where he wished to. He may be right. but long ago there was a player in Philadelphia, named Farguson, pitcher, second baseman, batter and all around player withdut a peer. Ferguson, just to show his control, was in the habit of standing a bat up on the home plate. Taking his - position In the box, he would knock the bat down thre times out | of five with the ball. In the presence of several college professors, who did not think a basaball' could be curved, Tony Mullance, a pitcher for the Cin- cinnat! club, stood a man about four ELECTRICITY FOR LIGHTING CHANGE IN PRICE The price to be charged to persons and corporations for electricity for lighting has been changed by the un- dersigned, to take effect on Nov. 1908; "that is to say, all bills rendery 82 of Nov.

Young Corbett who Tuesday night at Pittsburg falled to make as good as showing before Mull Bowser as he had hoped, announced to his friends yosterday that he was through with boxing. Corbett was much disgusted with his own lack of speed, and ms when he was unable to catch up witl a man as slow as Bowser it was timi to quit. BOXING NOTES. Bat Hurley and Charley Griffin are re-matched to box ten rounds at New York, February 1. Tommy Furey, the Attleboro whirl- wind, and Max Freeman will come to- gether in a fifteen-round bout at Ly- mansville February 23. Boston sports regret that the match between Mike Sullivan and Harry Lewis is not to be decided there. New Orleans gets that fistic plum. Ray Bronson, the Indianapolis box- er, proved he could run by holding Do- rando even for four miles at Indlan- apolis. Bronson ran the third relay and finished in excellent shape. When asked if he would resume boxing, Frank Gotch, the wrestler ,re- plied: ~“Positively 1 have no intention of becoming a prize fighter. If g white man is to be found to whip Johnson the promoters will have to pass me up. Wrestling is my game and I am going to sick to. i In all probability when Bartley Connolly, the Portiand boxer, who Is touring the British isles, returns home he will bring with him Thomas, the middleweight champion, whom Ower Moran believes good enough to beat the best middleweights on this side of the Atlantic. 3 HAS PITCHER WILLIS.
