Skinny Shaner Gets His---Outside the Picture, Fortunately
Bv Damon Runyon.
N EW YORK, Aug:. 20.—Handsome
Harold McCormick, president of
the Amalgamated Assassination
of Pinch Punchers, has called a meet
ing of the boird of directors to con
sider the application of Sir Mique
Donlin, who desires membership in
the organization so he can go around
pinching with the Yankees, or some
one.
The puchritudinous, but otherwise
a>l right Harold, has notified Messrs.
Ham Hyatt, of Pittsburg; Charley
McDonald, of Boston; Doc Miller, of
Philadelphia; Benny Myers, of Brook
lyn; Johnny Bates, of Cincinnati;
Jack Lelivelt, of Cleveland; Otey
Crandall, of St. Louis; Olaf Hfnrick-
fien, of Boston, and Hugh High, of
Detroit, to meet him in a dark alley
some night so he can poll the delega
tion.
It is believed that Sir Mique will
be admitted, if he can survive Jersey
City, and his residence there will not
be in any way held against him. as
it is well understood that Mike is a
Broadwayite at heart.
When John J. McGraw founded the
Pinch Hitter, little did he think that
it would flourish and spread across
all the leagues, as i<t most certainly
has flourished and spread. When the
Giant chief employed Samuel Strang,
the best baritone ever in baseball,
to pinch hit for him. it was because
John J. McGraw desired pinch hits
and not that he desired to encourage
pinch hitters, but from the lowly be
ginning of S Strang grew the great
army that we know to-day.
Strang “Some Pincher.”
It is related of S. Strang that he
went up fourteen times in the tight
places and tore off eleven hits, and
sso when S. Strang went away from
here to suing and such McGraw lay
in wait for another pincher of his
caliber. Handsome Harold McCor
mick is the answer.
Meantime, nowever, other clubs
had adopted the pincher, and now we
have among others, the Illustrious
persons named above, most of whom
do nothing but pinch hit, but who get
fat salaries for sc doing, while com
mon, or garden, ball players work
from day to day for the same amount
of money.
And who shall say that they do not
pay for themselves? Not us. We
shall not say it, because we have a
high regard for the pincher, and,
moreover, we envy him his job.
Sir Mique could always spank the
baseball, and he had that peculiar
quality of confidence that makes
the pincher pinch. Take Harold Mc
Cormick. for example. Harold does
not believe the pitcher ever lived
who had anything on him. Harold
reasons that he has something on
the pitchers, especially when he crocs
up in the pinch.
Pitchers Fear Harry.
He argues that the pitcher is the
man who is entitled to be afraid
and not Handsome Harold McCor
mick. Wherefore, he pinches punctil
iously, and wherefore, he is retained
at what may be enormous expense,
for all we know, on the payroll of
the New York Giants.

A HASTY compilation of the Schush
family now playing professional
baseball, shows the following line-up:
Schalk, Schang. Schmutz, Schardt.
Schact and Schauer.

J OE TINKER says he will resign.
which is the same thing in a gen
eral way that the Cincinnati fans
said when thev saw him coming.
• * *
C HRIS MATHEWSON was once
quoted as saying that he could
tell what Honus Wagner intended
doing by watching his feet. Events
of last Saturday prove that Chris
is either becoming nearsighted, or
that Honus has new feet.
* * *
C HARLEY M. TESREAU. the pitch
ing pachyderm, is still In there
leading the boys in number of strike
outs. Charley M. has whiffed 132
batsmen, which record is topped only
by Wonderful Walter Johnson, of
Washington. D. C. Walter has breezed
163; Tom Seaton, of Philadelphia, is
next to Tesreau in the National
J.eague with 126 strike-outs, and he
1^ the champion base-on-baller, with
89 passes, while Charley M. has a
matter of 87.
* * *
I T appears that John J. McGraw is
determined to have at least one
look at ‘‘Preacher’’ Perryman, the the
ological hurle** of the Virginia League,
at all hazards. He has exercised an
option on the young man, who is now
et Roanoke. Perrvman was supposed
to report at Marlin last spring, and
for days and days the Giant chief
anxiously searched the horizon for a
glimpse of the youth, who is said to
be several stories in height, but
Perryman came not. Tt is said he
remained In Georgia to complete his
college course, and then he returned
to the Virginia League, where Mc
Graw first heard of him a year ago.
BUCK O'BRIEN NOT WANTED
BY A COAST LEAGUE CLUB
LOS ANGELES. Aug. 20—The
services of “Buck” O’Brien, one of the
pitchers who helped the Boston Red
Sox win the world’s series last fall,
were declined with thanks by the
management >f the Venice club of the
Pacific Coast League last night.
O’Brien is now a member of the
Chicago White Sox. Captain Calla
han telegraphed President Eddie
Maier offering to sell O’Brien. Maler
wired that he could not use the vet
eran. Report that O’Brien is a hard
nan to handle probably had much to
do with Maier’s decision.

EX-CHAMPION WRESTLER
NEAR DEATH IN JOLIET, ILL.
JOLIET, ILL., Aug. 20.—James
Bardell, former trainer of the White
Sox and ex-champion lightweight
wrestler of the world, is dying in a
Joliet hospital.
Bardell has been failing for months
and suffered a complete nervous
breakdown a week ago. Physicians
declare there is only a small chance
for him to live. He is known through
out the country among sporting men
as a trainer and boxing referee, and
is an old personal friend of Charles
Comiskey. Jim Jeffries, Tommy Can
non and other sportsmen. He was one
of the three sponsors of Packey Mc
Farland’s first fight at Tattersall's
old fight arena in Chicago.
LEACH CROSS AND DUNDEE

matched for a 20-round fight on La
bor Day at the Vernon arena.
JACK JOHNSON MAY NOT BE
ALLOWED ON LONDON STAGE
LONDON, Aug. 20.—There Is a
possibility that Jack Johnson, the
American negro pugllst wul not be
allowed to appear cmi the stage in this
city. "
The announcement that he would
do a turn next week at one of the
music halls brought a number of re
monstrances to the management to
the effect .that the London public,
after the recelations of Johnson’s
violations of the white slave laws of
the United States, would' not stand
for the negro pugilist as an enter
tainer.
The manager retorted that he did
not think the question of morality en
tered into the matter if the boxing
exhibition by Johnson was a good
one. Besides, the term “white,
slavery” does not mean the same in
England as. it does in the United
States, and the crime with which
Johnson is charged in the United
States would not be an offense
against the law' here. The Federa
tion of Variety Artists will discuss
the question at a meeting in this city
on Thursday.
Mike Kelly, the Indianapolis boy, has
entered upon the boxihg scene. Kelly
wished to announce that he is open to
meet any boy around these parts and
is particularly anxious to get on with
Charley Lee. “I will agree to box Lee
on a winner-take-all basis, if he will
sign for the bout now.” wailed Mike
yesterday when we met him at Five
Points.
The next big scrap to be staged on
the coast will be a twenty-round en
gagement between Joe Rivers and Leach
Cross for Labor Day. The mill will be
held in Tom McCarey’s arena. Charley
Eyton has been named as referee.
Kenosha, Wis., plans to open the box
ing game next month. John Keating,
promoter in the Wisconsin city, is after
Tommy Murphy or Leach Cross to box
Charley White at his opening show'.
However, both these boys do not seem
overanxious to don the mitts with the
Chicago whirlwind.
* * *
Jimmy Grant writes from Chicago
that he is boxing daily and expects to
be in fighting condition soon. Jimmy
is trying to get on with some of the
stars around the ‘‘Windy City” and says
he will probably sign for a match
within the next few days. Grant is to
help train Charley White for his match
with Johnny Griffiths at Akron, Ohio,
on Labor Day
Danny Goodman, the veteran light
weight, has signed articles for two
bouts. On August 28, at Hibblng, Minn.,
Danny meets Young Thomas, and on
September 1, at Superior, Wis., Johnny
Tillman is to be his foe.
Steve Ketch el, the Chicago light
weight, will don the padded mitts with
Eddie Johnson, of Denver, at Pueblo,
Col., on September 16. They are sched
uled to go twenty rounds and are to
weigh 133 pounds at 3 o’clock.

guest of honor, admitting modest

that much. And this is the time to

Bill is not a man to flourish the
trumpets about himself or his work.
He is a quiet, earnest man—and a
dynamo in action when it comes to
energy. He is a man of one idea
when it comes to his work. That
idea is baseball. He has brought two
pennants to Atlanta, and has taken
a club hopelessly In the ruck the last
two years and made it fight for a

Atlanta fans owe Bill Smith much

STILL AFTER M’ALLISTER
AND PETR0SKEY MATCH
SAN FRANCISCO,’GAL., Aug. 20—
Promter Jim Coffroth Is still struggling
with the Bob McAllister-Sailor Peiros-
key-Jimmy Clabby problem. Jim wants
first of all to arrange a return match
between MCAUlstef* and Petroskey. be
ing satisfied that there is an insistent
demand for the same.
In making his deductions, Coffroth Is
influenced by the fact that McAllister’s
friends believe Bob should have received
the decision in the recent bout, while
Ptroskey’s followers are calling upon all
non-partisan sports to bear testimony
that McAllister would have been
knocked out had the affair lasted a few
rounds longer.
In such a case, of course, a return
match would fill a long felt want If
it takes place Clabby is assured a
match with the winner, something worth
hanging around for. If McAllister, after
due consideration, decides he has had
enough of the boxing game for a while,
Coffroth will turn his attention to a Pet-
roskey-Clabby match.
