SLOSSON, General Agent WALTER dTrrNS : Walter Steffens, c -ptain of the Chicago University footbaH team, is con sidered one of the best quarterbacks in the west. He is very fast in handling the ball and in running back punts he is without a peer. SOME PITCHERS ARE ALSO GOOD BATTERS Many Twirlers Who Can Line Out Ball When Hits Are Needed Some Examples. PAST SEASON A SAD ONE . FOR EAST IN BASEBALL All Honors Taken by Western Teams in Major Leagues Giants Near. '' Pennant Winners. , "Pitchers as a rule don't clout the ball much, but there are a lot of the sluggers playing ball now that used to hurl up the curves, and some of them will last a long time yet," said the fan. "Cy Seymour ca'n line 'em as well as anybody in the business. We used to think that Cy was the whole head of cheese as a curve flinger, and he was, too, Brit even before Cy got through pitching he was shoved Jntp the outfield, not because" he was a world beater as a fielder, but because he could bing the ball hard. His repu tation for pulling down home runs came after. "And how about ltoger Bresnahan? This fellow started out as a pitcher in Washington, but the wise manager down there soon learned that he could hit 'em . on the nose, and it was. a case of. put on the mask and get be hind the bat. Since then Roger has developed into a good all-around iuan, but it is his batting that makes him the big thing that he is in baseball to-day. i . . "Two of the told standbys of the fa mous White Sox of the days of Pop Anson's regime were pitchers before they began to shine as hard hitting fielders. The two men I refer to are George Van Haltren ' and Jimmie Ryan, both of whom are still playing ball. Old Van certainly could line 'em out and was a mighty valuable man to the Giants until he broke h'is leg. "Then we have Jesse Btirkett and Bobby Wallace. Both of these 'men were good pitchers, and were turned out Into the field long before their usefulness as pitchers had passed and all because they could make the base hits. . ' .. . "Frank Isbell of the present White Sox team was a pretty good pitcher in his day, and so was Jimmy Callahan Both these men struck terror to pitch ers when they stepped to the plate Charles Hickman, Pat Dougherty, Joe Yeager, and the two Stovalls were other pitchers who batted their way into the baseball limelight. "But Donovan, Ed Killian, H,; and George Mullen need not worry abont their livelihood after they pass their usefulness as box artists. All three of them are good hitters. Ed Walsh of Chicago is a natural hitter. But he has several years to go as a pitcher." FOOTBALL NOTES Coach Larkin of Cornell is out of the hospital and has again taken up the task of coaching the Ithacans' backs and ends. The idea of secret practice on the college - football fields oftentimes is more to teach the players work with out the distraction of having the spec tators about them to drill the team on special-plays or formations. The Lafayette team, which - held Princeton to a .O-to-0 tie, has not a senior classman' in the lineup, which augurs well for next year. TheVlast time Lafayette met Princeton was in 1905, the Tigers winning 22 to 4.V Bob Cook, the old Yale oarsman. will have to share his unique distinc tion which he gained when he coached ; the 'Yale crew on horseback on' the bank, with Harry Kersberg of Har I vard, who coached the guards from a . motor cycle at Cambridge Wednes- , day. ' In all the years that "Hurry Up' Yost has been at University of Mich igan, no team except Penn or Chicago until the other Saturday . bad tied or beaten his team. Penn beat Michigan twice, and Chicago took a 2-to-0 game a couple of years ago. This makes Michigan's O-to-0 game with the state college of Michigan especially disap pointing to the coach. . Sad indeed are the baseball fans of the east. Gloom is selling above: par in gay New York. The season of 1908 has been a pretty tough one not only for New York., but the other eastern members of both the big league cir cuits. . While the Gotham, ' fans can get- some enjoyment out of the fact that the Giants were ; near-pennant win- nets, there is but little for the fol lowers "of the Highlanders to enthuse over. Last spring the club owned by Frank Farrell looked like a sure pern nant contender, and for six weeks it lived up 'to its reputation. Then the gas bag sprung a leak and the High landers began a drop, that ended only when the cellar was reached. The New York American club has the Jdistinc. tion of being one of the worst tail-end- ers in the history of Ban B.'s league, There isn't much to bo happy, for in that. . - , , v . In Philadelphia the fans have had but little to brae about. The :Ath lelica have been a rank , disappoint, ment.. From a pennant contender last year, the club dropped to a poor sixth in the season just closed. True, the Phillies finished fourth in the older organization but ' Murray's team played such erratic as well as bril limit ball that the supporters of the game in Slowtown never knew what to expect. Both Clubs promise to bo in the race in 1909, but you can never tell. . - - The Red Sox look pretty good to the Boston fans and they expect much from Taylor's youngsters next season There Is no question about the ma. terial being there, but the club lacks a leader to develop it. . The biggest mistake ever made by the Boston club was the release of the veteran "Jim" McGuire. With McGulre leading, it's a cinch the Boston American team would have been up in the race next year, . but with its present manager the club, is but a possibility. The Na tional league team under . Joe . Kelly has been a huge failure. Patsy Donovan has had a bad year of it in Brooklyn and gives but little hope for next, 'season. " Washington fans are up in the air over the Nni tlonals. In the games at home this year the team managed by Cantillpn has shown' the ability to play high- class ball, but on the road it has been more or less of a joke, , The leaders of the eastern teams realize that their only Hope for' a win ner next year depends on the success of the youngsters already picked up and those who will be grabbed up during the winter. On the form shown in the fall games it looks as if some mighty promising minor leaguers had been corraled. Chase Drawing $45 Per Game. It is said.jtbat Hal Chase, the pre inier first baseman of the New York Highlanders, ' who Jumped to the Stocktou team in the California State league, is receiving $l,0(fo to play out the remainder of the season with Man ager Cy Moreing. -i This , sum, with transportation both for himself and wife from ; New -rork to California, was offered -by-' Mareiug. Chase was hired to play 23 games, the number on schedule, and at the above rate is getting $45 a game. v, ; Coy Elected Captain of Yale Eleven Edward Haris Coy of New Haven, Yale 1910, has been elected field cap tain of the Yale football team and will have charge of the work of the team during the games for the rest of the season. Capt. Robert Burch will not be able to play even 'in the final games, but will retain his title and direct the work from the side lines. Coy is 20 years old, 5 feet 10 incLes tall, and weighs 194 pounds '. i , ' ' No better flour sold on the , Lincoln market. Every sack warranted.
