Famgqus Catcher Had Peculiar Way of Deceiving Umpires. Speaking about catchers, old Mike Kelly was pretty fair, according to a tale related by Tim Murnane, the vet- eran baseball scribe. In ’'$9 the New York Giants and the Boston club left on their last western trip, tied up for first place. No two ball teams were e more evenly matched.. On the west Boston stopped off at Wash- ington to play a game and was forced to go ten innings, Umpire Phil Pow- ers calling the game on account of darkness, with the score a tle. With the score a tle, Washington went in for the tenth and soon had the bases full, with no one out. Tom Daly was at the bat, with three balls and no strikes and was ordered to hold his bat on his shoulder, as the mext ball would give him his base and force the winning run over the piate. John Clarkson, a man usually with perfect command, was in sore distress. i¥elly, who was playing right fleld, had time ‘cailed and came running in to the home plate and ordered Catcher Charley Ganzel to the outfleld while he finished the game behind the bat. Kelly put on his mask and pad and was allowed to catch a few balls from Clarkson. It looked like a 1,000 to 1 that Clarkson would never get out of the hole, but Kelly remarked “Come on, old sport, put it right over,” and with his big mitt for a target Clark- son took deliberate aim and shot the | ball for the plate. It was a shade wide and high, but Kelly handled it clever- ly, saying at the same time “That's the boy,” and had the ball on the way {back to Clarkson before the umpire | called “One strike.” | Daly smiled and made no attempt to get in position for the next ball | Clarkson took his time and started the | next ball for the center of the plate, but it worked wide several inches, and once more Kelly handled the ball in |his own way and handed it back to | Clarkson, remarking “Perfect strike,” i | and Mr. Powers called “Two strikes.” | Daly thr bat on the ground and protested. Ke was keeping up a nning line of comment, advising the to stop abusing the umpire all, By this time Daly de- ided to take a shot at the next ball, and Kelly brushed off the plate, turned shington bench and remark- Then, turning “Take your time, v is bluffing’ Then he placed mitt over the center of the | st high, so that the batsman | could plainly see it, and called for the iball.

It was a clear case of genius saving the day, and that night, as the train left for the west, Mike Kelly was the happiest player on the team. He said: “A zame is never lost with one chance left.” It was the finest piece of generalship that I ever wit- nessed on a ball fleld, says Murnane. FINANGIAL AND COMMERGIAL PRICES BORNE DOWN.

A Although big league managers and scouts are always looking out of the best there, is in the way of training grounds as well as players, it remain- €d for a Hartford amateur outfit to discover the superior of Ber- muda as a place for ‘workouts, Now a couple of league clubs and one in the International otrouit have about decided to go there this year. Harry N. Anderson’s All Stars, picked from the Hartford Amateur loague, were the firat to play an in- ternational series in the Britigh ool- ony. The trip was made last Maroh. Shortly afterward the Jersey City In- terngtional leaguers went there. A few days ago Arthur Irwin, the famous scout, now business manaeger of the Highlanders, took a trip down to the isle of lilies to look aver the ground. i Irwin got busy right after his ar- rival in Hamilton, visited the cricke grounds, which the Jersey City tea: used last year, and called on hotel proprietors to see what they could do in taking care of the New York base- ball party, should the latter decide to go there. The cricket grounds are within ten minutes’ walk of the hetels and provide room enough for two teams to train on. They are green and level, and Irwin says that the turf and the climate—what he has seen of the latter—are better for trining results than any place in the south in the United States. : Weather is Perfect. The cricket field has a commodius clubhouse, equipped with baths and the weather right now is suitable for baseball, mild and warm. Of course the arrangemenths to bring the New York team were sub- ject to the approval of Manager Chence. It is planned to ship the pitchers down on Feb. 15 and the rest of the squad on Feb. 28. The return will be made on April 2. The Highlanders are to play in Jersey City on April 5 and 6, and in Newark on April 7 and 8. They are not likely to play any other exhibition Zames in Bermuda with the Jersey Skeeters in case the latter train there again. The schedule in all probability will provide that the Highlanders open the pennant season in Washington, the date, 5s is known, being April 10. It is their turn to epen in Washington. Doc Barrett Strodg for It. No less enthusiastic over Bermuda than Irwin is Doc Barrett, the train er. The Doc, by teh way, is to be with the Highlanders steadlly from Feb. 15 to Oct. 1. He has obtained leave of absence from Williams college for that perfod for the next two years. With the thermometer at 68, the Doc is wearing in Hamilton what he calls his “40 love pants,” the same being his tennis flannels.” “An ideal place to train,” he declares. “If this is a sample of the weather. Why you cut your pitchers loose here, if necessary, without being afraid of a bad break in the weather to_stiffen up their arms. If it's like this in March, I don't see how the place could be beaten.” “Tve been going south for thirty- three vears,” says Irwin, “and never have seen anvthing that looks as good all around as the Bermuda proposi- tion.” SOX HITLESS WONDERS UNDER FIELDER JONES.
