nLIFFORD BOOUE who will play
with Marshalltown, la.. In the
Mississippi valley this season
likes to tell about Zeke McGrath vet
eran amateur hurler, who owns the
slowest curve ball In the city.
This story Is one of ( lift's fav
orites about lhe veteran amateur
' pitcher. "Five years ago we journey
ed over to Shenandoah, la., to play
in a tournament,” said Cliff. It so
happened that Zeke was assigned
to pitch a morning game against
Hamburg, la. Things went fine for
Zeke in the first inning, blit in the
second inning a strong wind came
up which took Zekc’s slow hall just
the opposite way which it was sup
posed to travel. Zeke decided then
it was useless to throw any more
curves so he tried a few straight
ones. The first hatter who swung
at one of the veteran pitcher's
straight ones gatehered in a home
run and the second batter knocked
a three-bagger.
"So Zeke decided to throw a curve
hall again and he wound up as If to
deliver a tantalizing outdrop to the
batter but the ball never reached the
hitter. It was blown over the first
base stand by the wind and the man
ager promptly waved Zeke to the
bench.
"Outside of this one Incident Cliff
was a good pitcher.”

Mathewsnn lias two remarkable
recruits among his rookie*. Stryk
er. the Worcester boy, led the
Kastern league pitcher* la*t season
with the wonderful record of 2<
victories and seven defeat*.
Y eargin, the pitcher recalled
from Greenville, N. I'., wa» a
rookie with the Jioston Hub In
training last spring, lii* work im
pressed I hike Farrell, the crafty
coach, and Fred Mitchell, the man
ager, also was sweet on the hoy.
Finally, just to make him feel good,
Mitchell told Y eargin that he was
going to keep him with the team
all season and not farm him out
at all.
Now, most any boy would have i
been elated over this grand news,
hut not Yeargin. lie began to get
sad and low in his mind. As the
team moved northward playing ex
hibition games the North Carolina
recruit was marked as "the man
who neier smiled.” I’assing through
the .Carolinas Yeargin became posi
tively mournful. Finally Farrell
discovered the trouble. "The kid is
homesick,” he declared. It was the
correct diagnosis. Yeargin admit
ted it. Yes, he boasted of it. lie
was a bridegroom, and he wanted
to see his Carolina bride.
Mitchell farmed him at his own
request to Greenville. lie won 10
and lost nine in the C arolina league.
Now, with a jear of married life
behind him, Mathew son figures that
this young pitcher will welcome a
big league trial far from the Caro
lina cotton fields and mountain
ranges and that he will make good
under tile supreme test.
Berlenbaeh Scores Twenty-Fifth ^ in:
Stone Stops McGill in Eleventh Round
New York, Feb. 28.—'Two of the
ring's most promising title aspirants
scored knockout victories * tonight in
star attractions of a show at Madi
son Square garden.
Ad Stone. Philadelphia's "fighting
marine" stopped Have McGill, Irish
light heavyweight, in the lltli round,
while Paul Bcrlenbach, New York
middleweight sensation, gained his
23th consecutive knockout at the ex
pense of \oimg Fisher, Syracuse vet
eran. Both were 12 round matches.
Stone and McGill put up a slashing
battle but the former marine’s heavier
punching had Met fill in frequent dis
tress, the referee stopping the fight
when the Irishman, bleeding and
groggy, reeled about the ring under a
shower of blows in the lltli round.
Stone weighed llfi and McGill lit 1-2
pounds.
Fisher failed to live up to his repu
tation for ruggedne-s against Iterlen
hacli. lie showed flashes of aggres
siveness in the first two rounds but
wilted rapidly under the heavy bat
tering of his young opponent after
the third round, when he claimed a
low blow. 6
The bell saved Fisher from a knock
out in the fifth round, when he
sedmed to go down more from an ef
fort to dodge Bertenhach'x uppercuts
than an aclniil blow. He took the
final count after 21 seconds of fight
ing in the sixth, a left uppen nt send
ing him sprawling.
Weights, young Fisher. 158 1-2; Her
lenbach, lfi-5.

The fir«t of these came in the flf*

right hook to the jaw.
The upstate entry retained the i*er

the action was nun-active.

calculated to increase Berienbach
