Firewater was, and is, the downfall of many redskin stars. It wrecked the prom- ising career of Sockalexis, the first great Indian player who starred in the outfield for Cleveland in the "90s. The Indian was a fine looking fellow, well set up and a great player. He could do thing well. But he couldn’t stand praise, and just as he was becoming really great he started playing with the firewater, and it wasn't long before he was in the minors, then in the bush circuits, and he dropped out of sight altogether just when he should have been at the top of his game. The two greatest Indian baseball stars that the game has known were undoubtedly who starred as a catcher for many years with York Giants, and Chief Bender, the famous Ath- er. Both were tricky and cunning players, Bender as one of the craftiest pitchers that ever toed the started out in baseball with the Butte club in the thwestern league, and I recommended him to the St. ‘lub. He served two years there and then the Giants him. He starred for years in Gotham. Skeels, a pitcher, was the only Indian player that |s*e Frank Frederick, the star center | had on bred Seattle club, and he showed promise of @ great star. He threw his arm out, however, and the same again. where Moses Yellowhorse, the former Pittsburg is coming os Sacramento and will pitch in the Coast this year.

Johnson per formed his three re- markable pitching fonts on September 4, 6, 7, 1908, against the New York Americans in that elty. All that Johnson did was shut out the Yankees, then known as the The peculiar part of the feat was the more Johnson pitched the better he got. In those days the single umpire system was in use tn the major leagues. It was my very great privi- lego to be entirely in charge of those |three games, which I belleve stand In the old days of the single um- pire system, the arbitrators always welcomed pitchers’ battles, Since it in necessary for an umpire to cover every play with the single xystem in| vorue, clone games in which the pitchers were masters of the situa- tion, always made the work much easier. While thone thr Johnson shut out New York on con- secutives days were remarkable pitching feats, they were soft picking from the angle of the umptre.

In Monday's papers, Joe Can- tillon the Washington manager, an- nounced that if Johnson shut out New York in the third game he would send Walter right back for the fourth consecutive time. New York used the great Tack Chesbro against Johnson to break the shut-out epidemic. Johason turned in the best game of the three, winning 4 to 0, New York making only two measly hits. In the late innings of the game, Johnson was hit on the rignt acm by one of Chesbro’s fast spithalls, The kame was delayed about five minutes while Johnson had his arm mas. saged.
