Veddcr Hltton, the young gent who pitched the best game of his career Saturday when he defeated tin* strong Pelican team, shutting them out. in Ihe closing game or the year, and a<* cldenlallv winning the pennant for Nashville, Is a modest chap. Bittnn is a hrothnr of Phil Sltton. with the Atlanta team, but Is the el der of the two, anti of more stocky build and nhle to stand a faster puce than Phil, bin this does not detract from Phil's line performances. These two brothers first began to create a stir In the baseball world when members of the Cletnson col lege team, and it was predicted of them that they would make their mark In professional ranks. Veddcr entered f'lemson before his brother and made a success as a twlrlir, and was recognized as the leading college pitcher In tho south Some two or three years later Phil came along and duplicated the record made by his elder brother. Vedder broke Into professional I ranks with Jacksonville in the South Atlantic League, after having been turned over to that team by Nashville Hill Bernhard not thinking I/m quite ripe for the Houlliern League While with tile Scouts he pitched no run and no-hit games with surprising fre quency, and ft was Rltton'/ line right arm that held the Scouts up In the race and won the pennant for them Phil Hltton eame to Atlanta for a try-out this spring, but Hill Hmilh shipp'd hlrn to Augusta, for the same reason Bernhard shipped Vedder, and he duplicated his brother’s trick by pitching no hit and no run games, ami was Instrumental In keeping Augusta up In the race. When the Volunteers were crippled In the rifle pit a hurried call was sent to Jacksonville for V< d<b-r, and as the Scouts had a large margin lead that could not be overcome, he was sent to Bernhard and jumped right Into tne Ilme-llght In the Southern league, winning a majority of his rsmen and pitching the samo article of ball a all stag. that he dished out while |n th • Hally League. Bit! f! rnliattl bowed a clear e». seme of gray matter" when he do elded to fil'h Sltton against Brel ten sfeln, ft was a ease of a young and agile pitcher versus a less agile bo' experienced twlrler, and youth won out, Vedder has indeed created a record I for himself for one season.

There were tnanv lans who got cold feet on Saturday over the Giants’ defeat by the Pirates, hut they had no right to davelope trap pcs underpinning. The McOraw ites have the pennant virtually tuck cd away In their .leans, and there Is about ns much chance ot either the Cubs or Pirates doing the burglar act at this late day as the Brooklyn or Cardinals playing for the world* championship tigs fall. When the Giants most, recent work is taken Into consideration, the fact 1 lih' the fans are at a fearful la so strange as to be ridiculous. The (Hants, since leaving Chicago on Ati gusl 30 lasi, have won 18 games and lost two, a winning percentage of 900 end going some. They have not met Ihe Cuba since then, of course, but the Chicago bunch ’could not eveu regain tho lead from the Giants should Hie latter lose four straights lo Die Windy City crew, figuring un cording to tho Hlandlng of both clubs this morning. Then, again. It must be taken Into tho doflo that, the Cubs Will be onllged to play a double-head er in Philadelphia this afternoon, and again at the Polo Grounds tomorrow, for McGraw, who was never known to bo shy on tho managerial end, will doubtless show his usual shrewdness by coming rißht back tomorrow with two games. The Cuba owe oue game here over what the schedule calls for, and then the home club has the pri vilege of selecting the day when t|i# bargain day attraction shall be pall ed off H Is not likely, therefore, I hat McGraw will give Ills olosest ri vals any more rest than Ihe law al lows. Everything 1s fair In lor® end war, nnd If the present race hasn’t been Du* merriest hnttln In the history of baseball, there never was a bloodless war. . f - 1 Just Exactly Right. “1 have used Dr. King’s New I,lf# Pills for several years, and find them Just exactly right." says Mr. A.
