ROCHESTER— 020000000-244 BALTIMORE— 0031 0 0 0 0 X - 4 8 1 HAVE heard learned discus sions full of high-sounding phraseology.” says Frank Houseman, the retired ball player, ‘‘and 1 must say that in my time I have encountered many men who could throw the English language around most delightfully, but 1 wish to say that there was once a time in iny life when I realize the possibili ties of English, the glories of our native tongue and the flexibility of the unwritten dictionary. This oc casion was in Florida many years* ago. I was wintering down there with a lot of other players, among them being Johnny McGraw, now manager of the New York aggregation. W; were playing a game one afternoun and I was on third base. McGraw had reached second and thought he saw- a chance to get clean home when a. safe drive went w’hizzing out in the field. I saw he could do it, also that the umpire was looking after the ball, and as Mac drew nigh I gave him the hiplock and double tackle. He whirled round and out and shot far away into the suburbs. Over anl over he rolled, bringing up with his face in a clump of weeds and hi<* mouth full of sand. ‘‘McGraw scrambled back to the base before the ball could reach him and I judged it best to move up the line a bit out of his reach. And there he stuck with his foot on the b ig and delivered an oration. And what a speech it was! ‘ Sometimes I wake up in the nigh* and think I hear once more the words Johnny used. Eloquence, file and forcefulness, complaint and de nunciation. classified references to my family tree, my personal habits and appearance. my destination after death—all these were features of McGraw’s oration. I listened spell bound, but I did not move. Not even when he ajdded peruasiveness to his elocution and offered me atrac- tive inducements to come within his reach did I change my position. “I have heard Bourke, Cochran; I have heard William Jennings Bryan—I have heard them all—but never in all my life, before or sine?, have I heard anything to equal the speech McGraw delivered there upon the coral sands of Florida.” seasons back, it actually described the shape of a half moon as it curled into the plate, but tne youngstdT was so wild that he had to go. Ask Ed Konetohy about that enormous curve. One of them started so far outside the plate that the Big Train stood and laughed—then It darted round on the half-moon track and nearly killed Konetohy, who was laid up for weeks. He will swear, if vqu ask him. that no mortal man ever threw such a curve, and that no law of nature or physics could account for that half-mom ball. Strange curves, a lot ©f them—but all you hear of now is "the slow one.’’ “the straight fast one.” and ‘ball with a hop.” As that hop appears on route, so the different pitchers ar** distinguished, and the critics talk about “the sharp break to the curves.” If ever a pitcher can throw with the outdoor ball the mysterious, gigantic upward leap that can be thrown with the big indoor ball, that pitcher wIH make Marquard’s record fade. It's a cinch to do it, too—I can take a* Spalding, grip it as the indoor ball i» gripped, and make it curve upward in the same identical fashion—BUT— there will be no force, no speed, and the blamed ball will not go 30 test ere falling dead. But what a snap for a strong arm pitcher who will prac tice It some winter! KLING TO JOIN REDS WITHIN A SHORT TIME CHICAGO. April 18.—Catcher Johnny Kling already has started practice and is getting ready to join the Cincinnati Reds, according to Al derman Lewis Stitts, a close friend of Kling, who returned from KansaA City yesterday.
