A Philadelphia newspaper recently printed the following story: “It would naturally be supposed that when any one referred to the best pitched game by any Washington Dpitcher last season, the name of Wal- ter Johnson would be menticned, be- cause of his wonderful prowess. His name would suggest itself the minute | the subject was broached, and vet no| less an authority than Counle Mack | I mads the assertion that the best pitch- ed game he witnessed last season was delivered by Long Tom Hughes.

Some Are Short Lived, While Others Have Stuck to Teams. Nicknames have been a part of pro- fessional baseball ever since the game was put on an organized basis, and Frank Chance's notion to bestow_ the name, New Yorks, on the New York Americans marks a departure. The meaningless Yankees, sometimes used to refer to the club, always was with- out rhyme or reason, and Highlanders doesn’t fit any more. One of the old- est pseudonyms is Giants, which the New York Nationals have carried since the 80s. The title was bestowed at the time because of their size, and has stuck, savs the New York Sun. Nick- names springing from the color of the stockings have been accepted readily by the roaters, such as Reds for Cin- cinnati, Browns for St. Louls, Cardi- nals for the St Louls Nationals, White Sox for the Chicago Americans and Red Sox for the Boston Amerl- cans. The sox part of it ‘originuted in Chicago and was copied in Boston. It makes a terse and satisfactory appel- lation. There bave been Browns in St. Louls ever since the Comiskey period there, and brown is distinctly suggestive of St. Louis. The Cleve- lands have been called the Blues as | well as the Naps, and back in the; Tebeau regime they were known as the Spiders, One of the eldest nicknames was Beaneaters. _ Successively the Bos- tons became Doves, Braves, Wardmen and Rustlers, but since the Beaneater days have had no nlekneme univer- ally accepted @s is the nams Cubs for the Chicago Nationals. Before they were Cubs, the Cubs were (Orphans, being called that when Anson left them. TLater they were the Colts, There was a time when the Breol- Iyans were known as Bridegrooms, that because of the frequency of trips to the altar. They also have beem | known as Superbas—Hanlon's Super- bas—but the name they are best known by and the most appropriate is Trol- | ley Dodgers. . Within the memery of | man_ it always has been Phiilies with | the Philadelphia Nationals, the gene- | obvious. The dignified | has been part and par- ] zdelphia Americans ever since they existed, but the same term was used back in the days of Harry Stovey and his associates. But for the real picturesque mick- names go to the minors. Once upon a time “they were Cowboys in Kansas City, the title being dropped for the more prosaic one of Biues.

New York, Feb. 26.—After another bear drive had forced quotations of many stocks to new low points for the long decline, the market rallied today. Speculative conditions were little changed. The market was still uncer- | tain and at times decidedly unsettled. New low prices were rocorded for U ion Pacific, Amalgamated, Steel, Paul, Erle, Atchiscn, the Hill sfock and a long list of léss prominent is- su Activity on the short side was con- fined principally to the first hour of trading, when the bears operated with rather & free hand. Some stop icss orders were uncovered, and the man- ner in which high grade investment stocks were disposed of suggested fur- ther Mguidation. The marker showed little 1ife while the recovery was in progress, activity being confined as heretofore to the downward swing, and the only important demand secm- ed to come from the =short inte: t. Selling of inactive stocks continucd, losses running up to five points. The one new factor of gen terest was the declision of the fornia railroad commission that where the Southera Pacific granted to Cen tral Pacific use of the tracks and t minal facilities the same privilege should be extended to other competing lines. In the opinion of the heads of | the Harriman lines this ruling, if tained, would Interfere seriot with the proposed dissolution plan, and might even cause its faffure.

Many wives in majer league eitles breathed ighs of relief one day in 1901, when it was announced that Nig Cup- py had made his exit from the blg lengues. Not that the women dis- Itked Cuppy ,but—where 15 the woman who wanis to keep supper warm aft- way bomeward from the ball game? It was always a 6.30 supper when Nig pitched. Cuppy was in the big league when dinner was served at noon, and only in our most exclusive little eircles had it displaced “supper” as the even- ing repast. Teday George J. Cuppy is the pro- prietor of a biiliard hall is Elkhart, ind. He is 43, a native of Haton, O, has a larger midship eross section than in the ’90s, and lceks prosperous. Cuppy was painiully slew in the box | but he was the star side kiek of that | ether grand piteher, Cy Yeung, en the Cleveland team from 1892 to 1898. What veteran but recalls those Heme- ric struggles of 1895-96 between the “Spiders” lad by Patsy Tebeau ,and ! the peerfless old Belimore erewd, with the Temple cup at siake? Cleveland | won the cup in 1895 with Yeung and | Cuppy on the hring line against Hof- fer, McMahon and Hsper, but lost in | 1906, when Wilbert Robertsemn had Joe Corbett working like a elock and Hof- fer was at his best. Cuppy now objects te being ealled a “slow pitche; and declares he wa ne slower than the average. ‘He says “I see they are now getting away with pitching 150 balls a game. When 1 was in the business I used to pitch that many to four Orioles, McGraw, Jennings, Ke: i Kelley.” Ccalled stow,” i CUt —ai b & i o—ire, T would not huve heen apy siower ina the pitchers are now. One thing, they | ean say about my work, I was game and never refusea fo work day after day.” And this is true: Cuppy would tackle that Baltimore outfit—and they were terrors—whenever he was asked to, and he game elear through. Cuppy plaved with Davton in 1890, Hendyilie, P, In 1201, and joined Cleveland In 1892, remaining until 1899, when he was transferred to St Louls: 128 was with the Boston Nal tionals in 1966, and wound up his great eares the nest sessen as a mem- ber of the Besten Americans. “The enly imprevement 1 ean see in the game is Ty Cabb,” says Cuppy. “Oth- erswise it is no faster than in the 90s.” Hugh Jennings, in the estimation of Cuppy was the greatest plaver the game ever preduced. Cuppy pays his old partner hemage as the greatest pltcher of all time. No one knew Dbetter than Cuppy what Youns was capable of, and Nig isn't the only Am.
