Cff the field, Frank Chance, csptain and manager of the Chicago Na
tional league team, the World's Champions, is a veritable Beau Brummell.
He dresses in the height of fashion and if it were not for the tanned com
plexion, acquired on the diamond, he would never be suspected of being a
professional ball player. The above picture is from his latest photograph.
VETERAN PLAYER SCOFFS
AT "GOOD OLD DAYS" TALK
Man Well Known in National Game
Admits That Modern Baseball
Is Speedy. '
I
At last an old-time baseball play
er has come forward and acknowl
edged that the game as It Is now
played In the big leagues Is speedier
and better than it was in the so-called
"good old days." Charley . ' Morton,
now president of the Ohio and Penn
sylvania , league, a well-known ball
player in the old times, is the man
who thus braves the ire of the other
veterans of the diamond. '
"We hear a lot about the old star
players during the years when I was
a player. Of course we had good men
then and we played good games, but
it always has seemed rather foolish
to me to compare those men with the
ones who are in baseball at present.
- "Our facilities were crude then, and
even if no Improvement had been
made in the players' physical makeup,
the improvements in apparatus, gloves
and such would put the present day
player in a class far removed from
that of the men who were engaged
In the game in my time.
"The decline of batting hasn't been
so great after all, when you review the
figures carefully. When I played ball
the pitchers knew much less about
curves, the 'spit' ball was unheard of.
and many little things which contrib
ute to pitching success had not been
devised.
"The squeeze play, the hit and run
and a lot of other combinations of
batting and base running which are
supposed to be Vf modern invention
were practiced then, but not to the ex
tent they are now. I recall the
squeeze play as early as 1883, but it
was .not worked extensively. Such
plays then were considered 'freaks' to
be used only infrequently.
"But, to say that the men engaged
in baseball then covered more ground,
hit harder and were more graceful
fielders is ridiculous. It would be a
sad thing to think that our great na
tional game had not kept pace with
other American institutions and had
not progressed in 20 years. Nobody
ever hit the ball any harder than Wag
ner and Lajole, nobody ever fielded
any faster than a half dozen big league
men do now. In the old days each team
had a few stars now every one has
to be a star or the manager is looking
for somebody else to take his place.
"The -'good old" days' are nice to
look back upon, but I am still in base
ball, not as a player, of course, and I
can find more to admire, more to en
thuse over and more to enjoy in mod
ern baseball than I could back in the

Fund for Disabled Players.
President Ban Johnson when in
Boston discussed with some en
thusiasm the proposition to establish
a home for disabled and unfortunate
ball players. He said that Connie
Mack of the Athletics had proposed
that some day be assigned when a pre
centage of the receipts of games on
that day be contributed to a fund for
this purpose. Mr. Johnson was not
insistent that a home should be found
ed, but he did think that a fund under
the control of a competent board of
trustees should be started soon. He
was of the opinion that at no time
would there be more than 25 benefi
ciaries, and that only the most deserv
ing cases should be acted favorably
upon by the trustees.
WADDELL TO USE HEAD IN
PITCHING IN THE FUTURE
Rube Would Enter Class of Brainy
Twirlers and Save Strain
on His Arm.
"What's the use of a fellow throw
ing his arm away to win a game of
baseball? ' I'm through with that kind
of pitching. From now on I'm going
to use my head and save my arm."
Such were the musings of Rube Wad
dell the other day, after he had shut
his former teammates, the Philadel
phia Athletics, out in the final game
of the series with the 9t. Louis Browns
at St. Louis by a score of 10 to 0,
Think it over, fans. Rube Waddell is
to use his head.
The big eccentric pitcher now with
the Browns' forces gave a demonstra
tion of his head work in the game that
was truly splendid. He turned a trick
that he probably has never accom
plished before in his career on the
sail field. He shut out the heavy
hitting Athletics and struck out only
two batters.
Waddell has pitched many and
many a shut-out game before, but it
is doubtful if he ever did It and still
struck out but two men. In looking
over his own record of shut-out games
we find that as a general rule he
fanned all the way from eight to four
teen men. That has been his forte in
the past. He went after every batter
with all the muscle of his great left
arm. He tried to fan every man that
faced him. His head was only a
thing of beauty, while his power lay
in his arm.
Now Waddell is to become a brain
worker. The knotted muscles of his
arm are to relax while the folds of
gray matter will become active. From
now on he wishes to be classed with
such pitchers . as Plank, Howell,
Mathewson, Brown, Cy . Young and
Doc White.
He made that good resolution Just
before the game. Every morning now
he can be found eating brain food.
When he gets in a game his mind will
be greater than that of the batter.
He will plan to outguess him. When
the batter expects a speedy ball. Rube
will waft over a slow curve. The bat
ter will be ready to hook a curve ball,
and instead he will have a fast one
shot close to his neck. Rube will ex
pect help from his teammates. No
longer will he try to win the game
by himself. When no men are on the
bases he will pitch easy ones and
save his arm. He will let the batters
hit the ball and expect the stone-wall
infield or the strong and fast outfield
of the browns to do the work of get
ting the man out.
Has a "Green Stick" Fracture.
Frank Bowerman, the Boston Na
tional league catcher, hurt his band
in a game the other day. The in
jury is a remarkable one and has
awauenea mucn interest among sur
geons and physicians. It is what is
surgically termed a "green stick" frac
ture. That is to say, the crack in
tne KnucKie is just liKe a Dreak in a
green stick full of sap. A fracture of
this kind is common in a bone of a
child, but rare indeed in a person
more than 20 years old. It never oc
curs when a bone is brittle, and the
older a person gets the more his or
her arteries harden and the more brit
tle become the bones. The fact that
Bowerman had such an injury shows
that he actually is as young as he is
lively on the ball field.
