RE VAL ati i Last Labor Da ions. — Barney Pelty, the clever pitcher of ‘llle St. Louis Browns, has one hoodoo club. Any team that beats Pelty when he is right always realizes that it has been in a ball game. There is one team Pelty has usually been able to beat, whether he was in prime shape or not, while there is another club in the American league that Pelty can never remember beating. Cleveland is the club that has always been easy for Barney, while Detroit has been his real ‘hoodoo. According to the clever pitcher of the Browns, he can't recall ever hav- ing beaten the Tigers, although he re- fuses to admit that he never turned the trick.

Silver Flint was the Chicago club’s chief backstop, and he was a marvel. As the years passed Mike Kelly became Flint's al- ternate, and the dash and headwork of Kelly, coupled iron strength with the reliability and of Flint, fortified the team tremendously. ‘When Kelly went and Flint began to fade Tom Daly joined the team and Daly in his youth was a whirlwind catcher. Then came Charlie Farrell, and the “Duke” wes a wonder when he was young and slim, even as in the days when he was fat and sage. Anson Got Kittredge. In 1890 the rell, and Jack Brotherhood took Far- Boyle was also brought into play by Comiskey’s all-star team. Against these great catchers, who de- lighted the South Side fans, good old Anson introduced Malachl Kittredge, and “Kitt” became catcher when the teams consolidated. Kittredge reigned for years, sharing the honors toward the last with Tim Donahue, a fine catcher and most lov- able comedian. As this powerful pair began to fade Frank Chance arrived. The burly Chance more than made up for the falling strength of “Kitt” and Tim, but, in turn, gave way when John Kling came on the scene. Frank went to first and Kling became head catch- er, a position he held undisputed for years, until his own rebellion took him from the aggregation. The sub-catcher of the Cubs, Pat Moran, himself of quality about equal to the best on the other teams, was showing good form as Kling’s suc- cessor, when the brilliant Archer was added to the staff and at once became r. Down on the South , through the reign of Kling, Comiskey was depending on Billy Sullivan, and the hardy Turk ‘made good, ranking in the front flight season after season. ‘What other city can show the series of great catchers paraded at Chicago through a generation’s changeful time? GOTCH WILL THROW THE POLE. Zbysco Strong, but the Humboldt Boy is the Quick Thinker. Can Frank Gotch throw Zbysco? If we take the answer as dellvered in Buffalo, we might hesitate. And yet—to the Poles of America who are sportively inclined I would set forth this admonition, writes Lloyd K. Jones in a Denver exchange: ‘When Frank Gotch and Zbysco meet for their bi match, you fellows go down into the basement—away back into a dark cormer. Take your purses and big, strong wire epikes, and like- wise a sledge hammer. Nail said purses to some dependable plank, Then, with enough to pay gate toll, plus the market price of five stelns, saunter forth, The next mosning you will still have some of the substance of life and com- merce, and there will be no revolution in Poland. Here are the facts, and while the evidence is purely circumstantial it is worth thinking about.. Zbysco is the last hope. When he falls, they have all fallen. He s strong, tough and willing. He believes he can toss Gotch. It wasn't any frame-up. Down in Zbysco’s heart he feels the proud pulsation ef victory. Frank wrestled easy. There isn't any need of a denial from Humboldt, Iowa, He let things slide along, because it would have been bad medicine to do to the big Pole what he had done to the other importations. And—when th¢ two meet again and Frank cuts loose in his good old way, the man from the country near Russia is going to feel what Nappy Bonaparte felt at a place called Waterloo. Zbysco is big. I believe he is strong —perhaps stronger in brute force than Gotch.. But his power is trained to a certain syncopation. He must have time to exert his powers. His muscles don’t jump from complete relaxation to the maximum of rigidity. Maybe two or three seconds must elapse be- fore full muscular force is attained. In that time Gotch has turned his play -and the job is “did.” Zbysco stands for a type of strong man that is common. Gotch stands for a type that is unusual. When they made Frankie t threw the mold away and said. ‘Tis well; one in a century is enough.* The heavyweight lifter does his stunt with plenty of time at his disposal. The wrestler exerts the very limit of his physical force within a. space of time too brief for even the best stop- wateh to register. The slow muscle fellow sets himself with care before making a lift. The wrestler makes the lift with his muscu- lar activity speeded up to the last notch. Hence, the wrestler need not be a marvel of physical force. He is the last word in force plus speed— which, it I recall, spells momentum— and that is Gotch. WATERBURY CLUB FOR SALE. Dowd's Offer of $3,500 Declined—Play- ers on Hand Are Nucleus for Good Club. A new ownership is expected for the ‘Waterbury baseball club before the first of January. It is known that Dan O'Nell has made a bona fide offer for the team in the last two weeks, through President Tracy, but that the figure was not satisfactory to H. R. Durant, who controls $0 per cent. of the capital stock. M. J. Finn, former owner of the Little Rock (Ark.) club, has been a bidder, but has net vet made an offer satisfactory to the own- er. The best offer has come from Tom Dowd, who has offered $3,500 cash. Last year that this time the club could have been bought fer a song. ‘The season of 1908 ended with an in debtedness of $2,800 and the prospect for 1909 was apparently a hopeless one. However, just at the time when the league politicians were to take it away from the present owner and hand it to Dan O'Neil, several well known busi- ness men, Thomas W, Fitzmaurice, W. ‘W. Wallace, F. P. Bacon and John Lilley, stepped In and kept it going. These men said to go ahead and that they would stand the bills. They had local pride enough to want Waterbury to have a club. The result has been, according to Mr. Durant, that last year's indebtedness is all wiped out, the club faces the season of 1910 Jake Beckley, the old first now a poultry breeder ‘telegraphed with nothing to pay eut, and with the nucleus of a fine ball club. in Ohio, recent- to Cincinnati for a big 5 3 To Discuss Pledge System.
