Last year each o f the Athletics drew down $3,654 for his share. ■ Quite a difference, eh" Comiskey's Browns figured in four world’s championship clashes. Detroit beat the Browns In 1887. "Lady" Baldwin, one of the great est southpaws of his time, won six and lost one game for Detroit. Co miskey's right-handers—Caruthers. Foutz and Hudson—were soft pick ing for the Detroit sluggers. Nearly even- member of the Detroit team was a .300 hitter. Keefe Outpitched King. The world’s series of 1888 between St. Louis and New York was marked by a tremendous pitching duel between Timothy Keefe and Charlie King. Keefe beat King three straight, 2-1, 4-2 and 6-4, and won the series for New York. King, whose real name is Koenig. Is now a prosperous contractor in St. Louis. He was known as "Can non Ball” King, on account of his wonderful speed. He sure could zing the ball over the plate. Charlie Comiskey managed the St. Louis Browns of 1888. Arlie Latham, Tip O'Neill, Curt Welch and other stars played under the "Old Roman." In the Temple Cup series of 1895 between Cleveland and Balti more, old Cy Young won three straight games for Cleveland. Bal timore won one game, Charlie Es per defeating "Nig” Cuppy. Te beau. O'Connor, Wallace and Bur kett were with Cleveland that year. McGraw. .Jennings and Joe Kelley played with Baltimore. Baltimore and Cleveland also tied up in 1896. Young was knocked off the rubber by the Orioles in the first game. Hoffer and Jog Cor bett pitched four steal“ht victories foi; Baltimore. Bobby Wallace pitched the second game for Cleve land, working against Corbett. William Dineen turned the trick for the Boston Americans in 1903 In t)ie memorable eight-game se ries with the Pittsburg Nationals. Dineen, now an American league umpire, was the greatest right hander of his time. Thanks to the wonderful pitching of "Deacon" Philippe. Pittsburg obtained a flying start, capturing three out of the first four games. Dineen beat “Schoolmaster Sam" Leever in the second game. The betting was 10 to 1 on Pittsburg Clarke Wagner, Leach and compa ny thought they had the series sower! up tight, especially when Philllppe beat Dineen in the fourth game. old Cy Toung saved the series for Boston by whipping Kennedy in lhe fifth game.

Adams Beat Tigers. 'Babe" Adams, then practically an unknown ball player, won the first game of the 1909 series for Pittsburg. He had been with Pittsburg all that season, playing third fiddle to Howard • Camnitz and Victor Willis, who were given credit for winning the National league- championship. Willis, Camnitz and “Lefty" Lei- , field were counted on to beat De troit. but the Tiger sluggers clout ed all three hard. Adams and Nick Maddox had to win the se ries for Pittsburg. Adams went the route like a stake horse and twirled three straight victories for Clarke's men. He made the heavy hitting Tigers look like “mutts.” < obb, Crawford and company found Adams a complete puzzle. The youngsters triumph was sensa tional In the extreme. He allowed eighteen hits in three games, struck out eleven Tigers and walked six men. Jack Coombs, of Philadelphia, equaled Adams’ record as far as winning three straight in the 1910 series, but he was lucky. Al though he beat the Cubs every time he worked against them, Chance's men slammed Jack's offerings fiercely. Nothing but superb sup port and the Athletics' ability to make plenty of runs enabled Coombs to go over three times. Bender Hero Last Year. “Chief" Bender, wonderful red skin, was the hero of the 1911 clash between New York and Philadel phia. The indian allowed sixteen hits in three games, winning two and losing one. Coombs beat the Giants once and Plank won and lost a game. Matty lost two and won one game. Otis Crandall won the other game credited to . New York, although Ames was really entitled to the victory. Marquard was taken out in the third; Ames pitched six innings; Crandall bat ted for him in the tenth and got the glory when New York jerked the prize out of the fire. 20-YEAR-OLD GIRL SWIMS AROUND BIG SEAL ROCKS SAN FRANtfIsCO, Sept. 25. -Miss Nel lie Schmidt, a twenty-year-old Alameda girl, is the first swimmer, a man or woman, who has circled the Seal rocks at the entrance to Golden Gate.
