A1 Demaree, Former Southern League Pitcher, Sketches Polo Ground Scenes
C LEVELAND, May 22.—"Fred
Falkenberg has a better fade
away ball than Christy Mathew-
son. Left-handed batters can hit
Mathewson but find it almost impos
sible to get even a single off Falk
enberg.”
Such is the declaration made by-
Frank Baker, home-run hitter ex
traordinary and hero of the
world’s series of 1911. Raker made'
baseball history when he hit Math
ewson for four bases in one of the
games between the Athletics and
Giants for the world’s championship.
He batted against Mathewson in
three games of that memorable series.
He has made the work of opposing
pitchers a study. For that reason,
his comparison of the two most
famous exponents of the fadeaway-
are of great value.
"Mclnnis and I were talking about
Falkenberg in our room the other
night,” Baker continued. "Stuffy said
he believed a right-hander could hit
Falkenberg easier than a left-hander
and 1 believe he is right. To tell
the truth, 1 would like to see how
many hits a team composed entirely
of left-handed batters would make off
Fred. I’ll bet he would come mighty
close to pitching a no-hit game.”
Ira Thomas, member of Connie
Mack’s famous strategy board, is an
other admirer of Falkenberg.
"I have not batted against Fred
this year,” says Thomas, "but from
observation, I would say he has the
best fadeaway delivery ever pitched.
Matty’s fadeaway comes up to the
batter rather slow. He works it as a
change of pace. Falkenberg throws
his fast ball and fadeaway with the
same motion. The batter does not
know which it is until he swings and
misses. The fadeaway comes up much
faster than Matty's fadeaway, and
for that reason is harder to hit. Fred
is also the owner of more speed than
Matty now has. I would rate Fred
as one of the five best pitchers in
the country.”
Baker’s intimation that left-hand
ed batters in particular Find Falken
berg a puzzle is correct. Falkenberg
has pitened and won seven games. In
one of those games he was not right,
the contest at Chicago when the mer
cury registered about 36 and Fred
could not get warmed up until he
had pitched to at least one batter in
each inning. As a result, the lead-
off man in each round, generally a
left-handed batter, was greeting Fred
with a hit.
Excluding this one game. Fred has
held the left-handed, batters to 11 hit?
in 96 times at bat, an average of
.114. Counting the Chicago game
he has held the portside sluggers to
18 hits In 109 times at bat. an aver
age of .165. For a right-handed
pitcher this is a phenomenal record.

LOS ANGELES, May 22. -Joe Mandot
will not fight again for many months.
He will spend that time getting over
his encounter with Bud Anderson, who
knocked him out at the Vernon arena.
Fight fans learned to-day for the first
time the terrific handicap under which
Joe fought. In he second round Ander
son fractured one of Mandot’s ribs, mak
ing Joe’s famous left useless during the
remaining ten rounds.
Mandot is going to the mountains
and will not enter the ring for six
months. He has called off all future
dates.
T OM SHARKEY, who aspired to

keeper of a public house and tips
the scales at 225 pounds, wouldn’t ad

a 120-pounder, as published in the
New York papers the other day.
But he bought wine!
Sharkey was acting cashier In his
saloon when a reporter asked him:
"How about that story that you
were knocked out, Tom?”
Tom gave a right hook and left
jab at the cash register, rang up $2.50
and called:
"Bring us a quart of wine!”
PICATO MAY MEET WATSON
IN LONG BOUT ON COAST
SAX FRANCISCO, May 22.-
Charles Picato, the youngest of the
three brothers of the Lo.« Angeles
family of fighters, is in the city look
ing for bouts. Like his brother,
Charles is a lightweight, and will
probably make pis local debut in the
four-round game. Babe, who has
boxed here before and made good
against the best of the local four-
rounders, may be matched with Red
Watson for a 20-round bout before
Jim Griffin's club in June.

determined to send a copy of the

who will write me for it.

The wine was brought and Sharkey
again *was asked about the report
that he wan knocked out.
“By that skinny greezer?” he ex
claimed. “Say, did you ever see a
picture of my babies?” and he dragged
down a photograph of four horses
and added:
"These are my babies.”
"But how about that knockout,
Tom?”
Strawberries Are Fine, Too.
“Say, you ought to see my straw
berry patch at Sheepshead Bay,” lie
raid, ignoring the question. “I’m go
ing to get 150 quarts this summer.”
"But how about the knockout?” the
reporter persisted.
“Pretty good wine, that.” the heavy
weight suggested. "Don’t often come
across like that."
"But the knockout?"
"Let’s have another bottle on me,”
Sharkey said, still ignoring the ques
tion. "Won’t you have another?
Well, let me tell you. son. I’m think
ing of going back into the fighting
business. I’m as good as ever and
a real white hope.”
"But did ‘Yellow’ knock you out?”
“It’s a shame you won’t have an
other bottle on the house. Good
stuff it is. too," and pointing to a
painting of himself in fighting togs
Sharkey remarked:
“That’s the way a man should look
in the ring.”
Then he gave the cash register an
other wallop and rang up the second
bottle of wine.
And the reporter fled.
According to the story about the
knockout Sharkey was telling friends
of his pugilistic career in the rear
room of his saloon in East Four-
, ieenth Street.
“Yellow” Puts Him Out.
He got to his fight with Fitzsim
mons when he came out second best,
a.ad banging his big fist on the table,
shouted:
"I can lick any man between Four
teenth Street and the Battery!”
"You couldn't lick a postage
stamp." came from George Davis,
known as "Yellow, the Newsboy.”
That statement was too much for
| Sharkey, and be challenged Davis, a
featherweight, to fight.
The men. so the story ran. peeled
off their coats and in a ring formed
of chairs* they began sparring. Sud
denly Davis delivered a vicious kick,
which caught Sharkey in the pit of
the stomach. He went down in

knocked out.
The police came, but the fighter
said he didn’t need medical attention.
He had an awful headache.

Crackers Win Games; Pitchers Toss Them Off
RED SOX MAKE FORTUNE
EVEN IF THEY FAIL TO WIN
THE CHAMPIONSHIP AGAIN
ing. According to baseball lore avail
able at Princeton, Mann was the star
pitcher of the college team known
as the Nassau nine at that time.
During the fall of 1874 Mann pitched
several games' In one week and his
peculiar delivery wore the skfn from
the tip of his fingers. In the final
contest of the week he was obliged
to play third base. Late in the gam*'
he was forced to relieve the pitcher
in order to save the game. Owing
to the tender condition of his fingers
Mann was obliged to throw the ball
with little or no grip. He immediate
ly noticed that his delivery was break
ing in an odd manner, which caused
opposing batters to strike out. Dur
ing the winter month?* he continued
to experiment and in the spring blos
somed out as a pitcher with a real
outcurve at his command.
By Percy H. Whiting.
A H yes, as we said before: If
the Atlanta pitchers were even
moderately effective, the oth?r
Dixie League clubs would have to
take out an injunction to win a game
from the Crackers
Yes. indeed—IF THEY WERE.
Rut they AREN'T.
It really was accommodating of the
Cracker hurlers to turn out a little
worse than everybody expected. It
cheers up the race so.
Crackers presented him with a com
fortable five run lead.
Now any pitcher who kisses off a
lead of five runs has something the
matter with the old throwing mech
anism—something blamed serious.
And that’s just what Dent did in th<*
seventh. The first three men wno
faced him singled. Joe Agler then
contributed an error. After which
came a three bagger and a single.
ing between Graham and Kissinger,
and the Rube got the better of the
argument, forcing Pat to pop a weak
one.
PPDIE AINSMITH is the only*
catcher of recent years to be
credited with a putout at first base.
The Washington first sacker made th«-
putout at St. Louis, and it goes to
him because he was the only man on
two ball clubs who was wiye to what
was going on.
Agnew was at bat and hit the ball.
It hit his foot and rolled in fair ter
ritory to Laporte at third. Agnew
did not run but sat down and rubbed
his foot. Laporte did not throw.
Finally he chucked the ball to Schae
fer who was* playing first. Herman
stood still with the ball in his hand
and did not touch first.
Ainsmitli, the only man besides the
umpires who realized that Agnew had
hit a fair ball, walked down to first,
took the ball from Schaefer and
stepped on the bag. Umpire Fergu
son called Agnew out. The play went
Laporte to Schaefer to Ainsmitli.
I ONG ago, when there was a run-
ner on second, it was a favorite
diversion with Mike Kelly and Buck
Ewing to let the hall slide through
their paws, turn frantically ’round,
and give a thrilling imitation of a
maddened catcher pursuing a passed
ball. The runner, with a loud cackle
of joy, would immediately light out
for third, whereupon the catcher,
calmly picking up the ball from be
hind his heel, would chuck to the
waiting third sacker for a certain
killing. Tricks of that kind were
often put over in those ancient days
—but the modern catchers never
seem to think of stich devices.

White City Park Now Open
MOW take this Mobile team, which
is here for three battles with
the Crackers. It's largely a lobster
team, outside of the slab men and
one awful slugger. But the hurlers
have been going good and with a lit
tle support they have won an awful
lot of games.
The Gulls have reached Atlanta
with a five and a half game lead
over tne Crackers. The coming se
ries can’t pull them out of first
place even if the Crackers make a
clean sweep of it. But then it can
warp their lead an awful lot.
If tht* Atlanta pitchers, go even
fairly well it's a cinch—but you can’t
tell.
T AKE yesterday’s game, which the
Crackers failed to take, 7 to 5.

rlly prove that Dent will not Jo,
But it is a strong indication that he’ll
have to cheer up a lot his next time
out. A pitcher who can’t win with a
five run lead is considerably to the
bad.
Gilbert Price was sent in after the
game was gone. He walked the first
two men who faced him. let the next
single and then escaped w'ith only one
run against him.
Parsons started for the Turtles and
after losing the game had it handsi
back to him on the bats of his team
mates. With a pinch on in the ninth
Kissinger was sent tn.
The Crackers made an awful effort
to rout Kissinger. Joe Dunn got on
the coaching line and called him “old
monkey face" so loud and vigorously
that Umpire Hart canned him.
Despite all the efforts to rattle him
Kissinger landed Smith and Bisland.
Then Joe Agler strode out, kicked
the hats Into a disorderly pile, picked
out one at random, stalked to the
plate and atoned for his error with a
beautiful two bagger.
This left the fate of the series rest-
TN any close ball game that Mem-
A phis team needs a guide. They
have pulled some ferocious hones at
various times in the series, but Par
sons nearly uncorked the prize.
With the bases full of Crackers

him. And Parsons started to throw

It w r as only the wild shrieks of his
teammates, “Throw It home, throw it
home.” that saved him from making
a miscalculation that would have
been a classic.

B OSTON, May 22.—With their sea
son just about one-fifth finished
the world’s champion Red Sox
have played before about a quarter
of a million spectators. If the team
returns to anything like its old form
it should have no difficulty in keeping
up this attendance throughout the
season. That would mean a total at
tendance for the year of about one
million and a quarter. ,
Should the Sox gradually improve
until they finally strike their old gait,
thereby getting actually Into another
pennant race In the final month or
two of the season, this attendance
would jump tremendously. A close
finish throughout the final weeks of
the season would mean crowds of
enormous size day after day. and the
figure would go beyond a million and
a half.
So you see the winning of the
championship of the world in baseball
means very much more than the re
ceipts of the year in which the title
Is taken. It means greater profits
the succeeding year, even if the team
falls behind Its standard of the tri
umphant season.
A total attendance of a million and
a quarter means receipts of more
than three-quarters of a million dol
lars. A million and a half will leave
about $900,000 at the gate.
The Red Sox will receive consider
ably more than half of the total re-
ceipts, because their home crowds
will be greater than those on foreign
fields.
It is safe to predict that the Red
Sox this year, not considering th*‘
possibility of a world series, will
make a greater profit than they did
last year when a world series and its
•net gain of about $90,000 left about
a quarter of a million dollrs "velvet”
in the club treasury.

club makes this year will be prin
cipally "velvet” to the men mentioned
above who own one-half, and to the
Taylor Interests, who hold title to
Fenway Park and a half interest in
the club.
ThlR is the reason why the mag
nates who control the world’s cham
pions are not stricken with worry
over the slump of the club. Of course,
they want to win again, both for the
increased profits that another victory
would bring, and for the sake of
good sportsmanship, as well. But
they stand to make a fortune, win or
lose.
The relation of this is meant to
show that the Sox owners have a tre
mendous Interest in this year's club
from now on. The team will come
home June 3 for a long stay. Every
club In the league will visit Fenway
Park before they go West again. The
showing of the club in the next two
weeks will determine the size of th*3
early crowds at Fenway Park. And
the work of the Sox, after they return
home, will affect thousands of later
daily attendants, one way or the
other.
Spring Time Is
Blood Gleaning Time
Wonderful How Quickly Your Entire^
System Awakens When the Blood
is Cleansed.
Let S. S. S. Rid You of All Blood
Disorders.
If you are down with rheumatism,
if you sneeze, feel chilled, are choked
with catarrh, have a cough, or your
skin is pimpled and irritated with
rash, eczema, or any other blood dis
order. just remember that almost all
the ills of ltfe come from impure
blood. And you can easily give your
blood a good, thorough cleansing, a
bath, by Using S. S. S. There is no
need for any one to be despondent
over the illness of blood impurities.
No matter how badly they attack the
system, or pow unsightly becomes
the skin, Just remember there is one
ingredient In S. S. S. that so stimu
lates the cellular tissues throughout
the body that each part selects its
own essential nutriment from the
blood.
This means that all decay, all
breaking down of the tissues, is
•becked and repair work begins.
R. S. S. has such a specific influence
on all local cells as to preserve their
mutual welfare and afford a proper
relative assistance to each other.
More attention is being given to con
structive medicine than ever before,
and S. S. S. is the highest achieve
ment in this line. For many years
people relied upon mercury. Iodide of
potash, arsenic, ’ physics,’’ cathartics
and “dope" as remedies for blood
sickness, but now the pure, vegetable
S. S. S. is their safeguard.
You can get S. S. S. in any drug
store, but insist upon having it. And
you should take no chance by permit
ting any one to recommend a substi
tute. And if your blood condition is
such that you would like to consult a
specialist freely and confidentially,
