HOW VETERAN MISSED DEATH BEATING ABERG IN RUSSIA ovine World’s Champion, a Physical Freak, Resembles Old Time Cave Man Type of Giants—-Losing Only One Match in Nearly One Thousand, Zbyszko Plans to Retire Undefeated After One More Year. By Robert Edgren. TANISLAUS ZBYSZKO, always introduced by Joe Humphreys as “the Mighty Son of Poland,” has had a career filled with’remarkable ad- | ventures Zbyszko's age is variously given as anythiug from forty-one to forty- tix. Probably he is forty-eight years old. In spite of that he now holds the world’s heavyweight wrestling championship. A few months ago be beat Strangler Lewis for that title, and more recently beat Lewis again, Born in Poland, Zbyszko received a® S00d education and might have been} Noted In some of the finer professions | |¢ Russia, but wandered around countr: or arts if he hadn't been a physical | th + with little money and| freak.

A natlve of Galatia, then under Austrian rule, he was| romptly interned and at one time put nto a Russian prison. But in. spite of war conditions, he was released and allowed to compete in wrestling matches that were frequently held in the Russian capital. It was there that Zbyszko had the greatest. thrill of his lite—the greatest thrill, probably, ever known by any wrestler.

By Bozeman Bulger. Speaking of leaning on the pill or bustin’ that ole apple, we saw a game yesterday between the Harmonys and the At!antics up at the Astor Library. It was played in 1855, Oct. 21. There was so much excitement,| according to the description of the} writer, that the crowd became per- fectly infuriated at a decision of the umpire “with which they disagreed.” The game lasted three hours and ran three innings, under the direction of Referee Leavey and Umpires Brayley and Yung. The score by in- nings: Harmony 6 14 322. Opponents.... 6 9 9—24. As far as could be recorded under4 most difficult circumstances, there were eight home runs and five batters caught out on the first bounce. All of which is submitted as evi-| dence that the ole apple took some vustin’ back in them days, This game is among the hundred: carefully chronicled and presented to} the Public Library by the widow of the late 4! G..Spalding, This gift isa compiete history of baseball and {sj well worth examining. | The entire collection of baseball books, scores, clippings, photographs and everything pertaining to base- ball from its start numbers 3,803 pieces. It was left to Mrs. Elizabeth Spalding, but she thought it would be of more general benefit and in-| terest if given to the Puplic Library, it is the only complete collection of matters covering the birth and growth of America’s national pastime in the United States. It takes up an/ entire room. Several weeks were | spent in cataloguing it. Again speaking of bustin’ the ole apple and Babe Ruth and such things, I picked up the official aver- ages of the players of the Excelsior | Club of Brooklyn in 1867. A column showed the number of matches in. which the players engaged. In the last column opposite their names, were the number of home runs. One| George Flannley, a pretty handy fei- | low it seems, had fourteen home runs in thirteen games. Several had as many as fourteen, the lowest showing five. That boy must have been a weak hitter. The score card in that day had columns just as they are to-day ex- | cept that the captions at the top of these columns read “Fly catches,” | “Foul catches,” “Left on bases,” runs,” “Fly balls aaiaeed: tut,” “Passed balis” and “Called balis.” ! During those fourteen games of the | season the Exceisiors averaged forty- | R.ne runs a game. Not bad, eh? { found a score card—can't tel a} Flayer without ‘em—from the Polo} Grounds in 1878. The blank squar and the columns for the summarte were exactly as they are to-day. In 1878 Mr. Chadwick wrote a book | un how to play ball, particularly how to pitch, He showed a photograph | cf a man with whiskers toesing the ball underhanded and wearing long Pints \ Baseball in those early days, ac-| cording to the library collection of vetures and records, ran mostly to! shirts, striped caps and long) Harry Wright's! the rate of 288 per leatcher, first baseman, second base- ious Study cent. from the day he first appeared in uniform until he became a man- orer. There was a big game at Philadel- phia, ‘by the way, where Harry Wright was manager. Brooklyn was the opponent and it was a great fnancial success. The receipts totalled $69. That sort of reminds the Yunks of last year when they played | a fame at Philadelphia to a cash take down of $4.80. The Philadcl- phians are consistent. The first professional ball club was ine Cincinnati Red Stockings, orga- nized in 1869. They made a tour of tae country and did not lose a game in a whole season. They were finally beaten by the Brooklyn club in eleven innings. After that the chub ealled it a day and quit being prow fessional, On file is the original contract of Ezra Sutton, a star who signed with the Boston club. His salary, enorm- ous in those days, was $1,200 for a year. The records of the Metropolitans are on file from 1856. An interesting thing is a score card showing that In the early days the batters came up in the order of their positions. The pitcher always led off and was followed in order by the man, shortstop, left fielder, centre/ fielder and right fielder. That ac- counts for the present system of num- bering the players on a score card.
