" o known twirler in the far northwest, R the major leagues had no interest for him. This fellow Gregg, who had such a big vear in his debut as a major leaguer, is a funny chap. Nothing worries him, he has supreme confidence in his ability, and has the nerve which only great pitchers possess. The ball players like to work with Gregg on the rubber. He iz always generous to acknowledge the good plays in his behalf, but never does he crit- icise, no matter how many bad errors are made behind him. Instead of roast- ing ihé player who has just slipped up, Gregg offers words of encouragement, and ‘works all the harder to get out of the hole. T have often heard fans ex- press the opinion that the Naps seem to play better ball behind Gregg than any of the other pitchers. I know they perform better under such conditions, because they have confidence in the big southpaw and are with him. Washing- ton shines when Johnson is on the rub- ber, as does Chicago with Walsh per- forming. Confidence in the twirler goes 3 long way with his teammates. It was remarked to Gregg in my hearing by one of the other Navs that he hadn’t done much strikeout vitchinz. a stunt at which he shone on the coast.

New York, Jan. 25—An aggressive hear d weakened the stock market today, after an irregular opening in which some stocks registered substan- tial gains. The reduction in the St Paul dividend, announced after the| closo of the market yesterday, gave dear traders their opportunity. They were heiped by a drop of more than two poiats in the stock in London be- fore the cning here. Reading and Great Northern preferred rose strong- Iy at the outset, but professional trad- ers, taking the ground that the bid- ding up of ihese stocks was for the purpose of concealing selling eclse- where, attacked the whole list and prices yielded in every direction. Most of the leading issues were depressed e pulnt or below yesterday's close. In the lattor part of the day the mar- ket stiffened but the losses were not recovered eniirely, London traded more aectively in this market today, dispesing of about 15,060 shares.

That was a marvelous record, and no one belleved he would duplicate il in the majors, although there was much comment on the few men the big southpaw fanned. “In the first piace,” replied Grega in answer to the player's query, “I'don’t think I am quite as good as 1 was in 1910, T overworked myselt at Portland, and am paying for it this year. My arm don't feel as strong as it did on the coast, my speed isn't so great, and my hook doesn't snap as much.” “Then there is another feature rela- tive to strikeouts in the biz show. The ball players up here don't swing at everything you serve them; they wait you out, make you get them over. An- other reason iz, I am not working for strikeouts as I did last year. Every day in my last year on the coast the papers were filled with stuff about my chances to break the strikeout record. These notices spurred me on, and as a result T hung up a new mark. Since coming to the big league one thing that has been impressed on me most is the fact that there are eight.other athjetes assisting me, who are just as anxious to win as ¥ am.” Gregg has two of basebail's greatest requisites, brains and nerve. I never | saw a young pitcher grasp the finer points of the game or the weakness of batters more quickly that the western wonder. American league players and umpires will teil you that his nerve ie unlimited. In one game with the Ath- letics, in which I umpired at the plate, I saw Gregg on five occasions, with the count two and three, use his curve ball in preference to grooving the fast one. On three of the occasions a base on talls would have been costly, but each time the surprised batter watched the curve glide over and retired to the shade of the bench. Believe me, Vean Gregg is some pitcher. BREITENSTEIN OLDEST PLAYER. New Orleans Pitcher Was a Star 20 Years Ago With St. Louis. The oldest ball player in harness is Theodore ~Breitenstein, the sorrel topped left handed pitcher of the New | Orleans club.

B “Ed Walsh,” said Eddie Collins re- cently, “is the hardest pitcher 1 ever played against when it comes to gel- ting a lead off first. Let me tell you | right now that Walsh has the most baffiing motion of any twirler iu the country, har none. I myself think it is a clear case of balk when Waish winds up and then slaps the ball over to first. But no umpires have called him for it, except in one- or two cases when the offense was palpable. “There are only a few runners who dare take more than a few feet off first when Walsh is in the box. You can never tell what he is going to do until you actually see the batsman swing at the ball. Then you know that he has pitched to the plate. “Next to Walsh I place the crally Bender. A runner simpl¥ has to keep his eyes on Bender all the time while he s loafing around first base or he Will be outguessed. I think that's one of the reasons why Bender has de- veloped into a great twirler. Johnson of the Senators and Wild Bill Dono- van of the Tigers are two other plichers with whom it is dangerous to take liberties. In the National league 1 consider Mathewson of the Giants and Brown of the Cubs leaders in the particular art of keeping a runner close to the bag. _ “The third baseman has a lot to do in catching runners off first. It is generally his part to give the mignal to the pitcher when the man is far enough off first to shoot the ball over. There are some teams where (he catcher gives the signal, but the third baseman can do it bett: Next time You are at a game when Walsh is pitching and there is a runner on first, Just watch Harry Lord’s actions. Walsh will be standing moistening the ball and Leeping an eye glied on Lord. Suddenly Harry will shift one reach up to grab his hat.

A few days later a race for two 1iles for 3100 a side was arranged wit 12d McMahon, and I shortened my runs and began to-fry and get up more | speed. McMahon was at that time regarded as one of the fastest two- mile Tunners {n America, having Jost a race to the great E. C. Carter only a few vards, a short time he- fore. 1 was backed in this race by Downey, Rilev and Burns of Norwich and trained cn the Cranberry lot Coughlin of Greeneville, and prepared for the race at the fair grounds. This race created great interest in sporti: circles in this section, and the excjte- ment increased as the day of the race drew near. About a week previous to the -atc of the race, I ran a trial in 10m. 6s. from which my backers offered to ba me heavily. The trial was run in the open fleld, and it seems that a friend of McMahon was concealed in woods, near the track, and caught the time, which was at once carried to the ‘McMahon camp. The train of the hard, constant work was beginning to nave an effect on me, and I began to get slower. I did not realize I was being overtrained, and was feeling rather despondent, when I was surprised one afternoon, two days after the trial, by a visit from Coughlin and McMa- hon. John Gleason and I were at the track, alone, when theyjcame over and spoke to us. They had an object in view and came directly to the point. “What do you intend doing after yeur race with Ed?” ed Coughlin. “I think I will go to Philadelphia it nothing else ls arranged,” I replied. “Well, I have a proposition to make tc you which will be for your benefit,” rald Coughlin. “You intend to leave here, while Ed means to remain, and while we think we will win, we pre- fer to be sure, and if you agrec tc lose, we will give you the stake of $100 and take the gete and outside bets for our share. We will place the $100 in the hands of your-friend, John Gleason, whe will glve it to you if Td wins, while if you win he wili ro- turn it to us. You will be lucky to get 325 from the crowd back of you it you win, No, what do you say””’ To 1 was surprised at the prop- ositl hullflln it mildly.

Now, the previous evening, Jim| Downey had offered to bet Coughlin $100 to $75 that I would win. Coughlin replied that he would see him the next night, and immediately after see- ing me went to the saloon then kept by Downey and Rilev and offered to bet §100 to $75 that McMahon would wi This sudden change of odds sroused the suspicions of Downey who refused to make the bet at that time: jand Downey, Riley and Burns came up to the hotel, and asked Mulholland if T could win. ‘““He can't lose!"™ re- plied John. They then asked me if I would win and I told them 1 would if I could. They were not satisfied with John's answer and returned to the city, with the idea that Mulholland was in with | Coughlin, and would Gope me previous to the race, an idea which had no; feundation in fact, as John wae entire- 1y innocent. The match was declared off that night, and Coughlin at once came up to the hotel, and offered us one-half the gate money to run the race which | was widely advertised. ‘We accepted the offer, but when the next day we urrived at Franklin | square, which we found packed with more than a thousand people, who had come from all parts of eastern Connecticut to witne the race, we! found that Downey had leased the fa.r | grounds for the day, and all our trou- i ble was in vain, aaz the race had to| be declared off. !
