Who Will Be Pitching Star of
1.912 Struggle?--Review of
Heroes in Past World's Series
UtHO will he the pitching hero of the 1912 world’s
/ championship series? Boston fans are willing to bet
money, marbles or chalk that Joe Wood will twirl
f rins* around Matty, Marquard or Tesreau. New York
baseball “bugs” predict that ‘’Jeff” Tesreau will pitch holes
through Wood. O’Brien and the remainder of the Boston
twirlers. ' " , \ j

Browns Won in 1886.
Com!? key’s Browns beat “Pop"
Anson's Chicago White Sox in the
jgSf, series, Caruthers and Foutz
, great ball for St. Louis.
j n the 1885 series between St.
Louis and Chicago each team won
three games an (Lorre game was a
tie. The players got s4l apiece
nu t of this series. Last year each
of the Athletics drew down $8,654
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'
every 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. Arlle
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 ami Joe Cor
bett pitched four strai - ht victories
for 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 the 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 wonderffil pitching
of “Deacon” Philippe. Pittsburg
obtained a fly'ing 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
«rwed up tight, especially when
Philiippe beat Dineen in the fourth
game.
Old Cy Young saved the series
for Boston by whipping Kennedy in
the fifth game. Dineen beat Leever
In the sixth. Young thrashed
Philiippe in the seventh and Di- !
uen knocked down Philiippe in the
Pi ghth and deciding battle. He
struck out Honus Wagner with
three men on bases. It took all
the fight out of the Pittsburg Pi
rates. Dineen shut them out, 3-0,
In the final game.

Jimmy Callahan in the coming
city series between the Cubs and
White Sox.
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
efi 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.”
Cobb, 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.

Not a One Idea Car
Individuals have done great work.
Much advancement has been shown by
different designers. But in all cars built
under that method, there is a limit, for
the designer, no matter how experienced
or clever he may be, is bound to fall
short of perfection. By combining the
experience of 48 men, some man in the
group is always able to make good the
shortcomings of his fellows.
The New HUDSONS show, therefore,
cars that have been built on a new idea.
No similar group of men in size or ex
perience ever before combined in build
ing an automobile and by the same token
no automobile ever built is so nearly
developed along the right lines in all
details as are the A’etr HUDSONS.
