Athletic' Second Baseman Clouted Walsh Hardest Yale
Basketballists Lose Eastern Connecticut Easeball
Meeting Postponed Collins Defeats Samson Again.
I
One of these fellows that dig up
the winter dope for bassball fans out
of statistics .-f the pant season has
turned the 3pot light on the work of
Pitcher Rd Walsh of the Chicago
White Sox. a Meriden boy, whom he
calls the premier twirler of ths Am
erican league and of the world. In
the same breath he proves that Danny
Afurphy cf the Philadelphia Athletics
was the his noise of the American
league, when battin? agiintt Wa'sh
This fellow Walsh is a marvel a
marvel among pitching marvels. He
allowed but 339 hits during the sea
ton, arij as 1,675 'layers were churu'ed
with at bats while they were secur
'ng that number of blngls Walsh held
the American league batters to a .202
avernse.
Little wonder that he won the Am
erican league piUhu y horn rs the past
season in spite of the fact that he
pitched in far and awdy more gan-.;s
than any other flinger.
Walsh was used repeatedly in the
games against Boston, New York and

DANNY lURPHY.
Philadelphia, while Clrv land drew
him a fair nun ber of times. On the
othtr hand, Manager Jones was a lit
r "r gingery afcott working him against
Washington and Detroit, as the big
fUl"v nevr was any too successful
against either team.
Murphy Batted .414.
Although Bi.g Chief Bender is cred
ited with the best average among the
Athletics against Walsh, still he was
at bat on!) twice, s-'curing one hit, a
.500 mark .while to Danny Murphy,"
the real crown belongs. Murphy was
not only the classiest of the Athletics,
tut also was the leading batter of the
American league when opposed to
Walsh. Danny was at bat 57 times and
walloped the horsehide for J2 safe
liej., a .414 nwk. Eddie Col ins also
traveled at a merry clip against the
great "spitter," tav'ng seven hits in
21 visits to the plate, a .333 average

Hurtsel .233 aFrfint Walsh.
Char'oy Hickman of the Naps had
the unique distinction of faring
Walsh Just one time, fcoing sent to
bat in a pinch and succeeded in con
necting safely, givirg him a perfect
average.
Held Boston and New York Close.
Exceptionally effective was Walsh
ac-air.st both Boston and New York,
i ne former batting only .165 and the
latter .178. George Winter, the "spit"
ball pitcher, who became a Detroit
Tiger late in the season, headed the
Red Sox In batting against the fa
mous Walsh. However, he faced him
only three times, securing two hits, an
average of .667.

FINANCIAL AND
DAY'S CHANGES WERE SMALL.
Moderate Strength and Weaknr, Al
ternated 3risk Rally at Close.
New York, Jan. 13. The stock
market today was of much the same
character as yesterday. Periods of
nioderata strength and weakness alter
nated and the tone was spotty and ir
regular at all times. There was no
effective delay In evidence in sufficient
amount sucu as would mark an aggres
sive accumulation, but evidence of
some support at a .defined point in a
decline gave the bears warning of ob
stacles to be encountered in too bold
an attack on values. While this sup
port appeared cn the declines, any up
ward movement was likely to bring
selling orders into the market again.
The sentiment amongst the profes
sional operators was not optimistic and
the events of the day, while not of
great importance, were construed un
favorably. The response of foreign
markets to the news of the settlement
between Austro-Hungary and Turkey
was a disappointment. A decline in
private discounts in Paris and Berlin,
a rise in London exchange at Paris
and a fall in the London price of gold
were reflections of the relaxed tension
of the situation. London discounts,
however, continued to advance and
foreign stock markets did pot retain
the benefit first shown in the news.
Stock exchange members on the floor
engaged In some discussion of the
trade prospects In this country and
were Inclined to give ear to views-expressing
disappointment over the rate
of business improvement. Intimations
were heard of a probable disappointing
showing for the forthcoming quarisi.
report of the United States Steel cor
poration and the January orders re
ceived were said to be disappointing.
In this connection, the rate at which
money Is coming back from the coun
try into bank reserves is a disquieting
evidence of a lack of demand for it in
the circulation. The dally testimony
in the government suit against the
Harriman merger and against the
Standard Oil company and the pas
sages between the New York Traction
company receivers and the public ser.
vice commission stir tip the appre
hension of speeulatorsoer the possi
bility of a decisive occurrence unfa
vorable to corporation interests. The
closing- of the market while a brisk
rally was In progress again left the
day's changes small. Bonds were ir

were almost as helpless before Walsh
as were the Rd Sox and Highlanders,
the former securing 56 hits in 275
times at bat. an average of .204, and
the latter making ftO safeties in 244
trials, a maik of .205.
Jesse Tannehill of the Nationals
i-hared with Charley Hickman of the
Naps, the former Yale coach, the
honor of having a perfect average
against the "spitball" ar'ist. George
McBride was the real National leader,
however, and if he could clout the
sphere against all pitchers, as he did
against Walsh, he could surely lead
the league. In 15. timet, up he made
seven hits for an average of .467. This
surpasses Danny Murphy's mark, but
the lat.T faced Walsh almost twice
as many times. Jiin Delthanty tat
ted .429 against the Soxs' star twirler,
making three hits In seven times. Jer

line, Capt. Bob Ganley. was down to

Pinch Hitter's Life Not oS Easy as It
Looks.
"The pinch hitter's life is far from
being a continua' bed of roses," says
Addie Joss. "To the casual observer
it would seem that for a man to sit
on the btne'i every afternoon for sev
en or eight innings, with nothing to
do but' watch the game and then be
called on to step to the plate in a
pinch., to hit for some weak sticker,
would be pretty soft work.
"Nifthing of the kind. . The man on
a call club that is kept on the pay
roll to do stunts of thi3 kind has his
work cut out for him and even though
the rest of the regular i contir.ually
tel him wh?.t a snap he las, thi-re is
not a one of them who would willing
ly exchange places.
"The pinch hitter holds his job
mail ly on the strength of his abilitv
to swat the ball. Every time he is
tent in to hit for someone he is fully
aware of the fact that it's up to him
to deliver with a safe drive .
"He has been sitting on the bench
possibly the greater part of the aft
ernoon without getting a chance to
see what sort of stuff the opposing
pitcher is servintr this day, and knows
that the moment he steps to the plate
the flinger will give him everything 1c
his repertoire.
'"Ehi'n everyone In the stands is
looking forward to his ability to clout
and are banking on him t make good.
The fans very seldom, if ever, take
into consideration he fact that no
matter how good a hitter a player
may be, he only makes one base hit
in about every three trips to the
plate.
"Then 'there Is thaf degre cf un
certainty as to when he may be called
upon to get in the game that con
stantly ke'ps the emergency swatter
on the anxious seat all during the
contest.
"Ke never knows what moment his
manager will take out some w?ak bat
ttr that he can be substituted. About
the only chanc the pinA hitter has
to feel jubilant Is when he has been
called on to perform the hitting stunt
and drives out the base hit that re
turns his club, the victors of the con
tent. "To have the cheers of the fans
ringing in his ears at a ti'ne like that
Is a mighty fine thing, bui does that
atone for the number of times after he
he has failed to deliver the much
needed hit and on his wav to the club
house hear SQine particularly rabid fan
yell: "Get out, you big mut. You
couldn't fall out of a boat and hit the
water!" .

HOLYOKE GETS M-CORMICK.
Will Manage, Captain and Play Short
stop. Fred A. Winkler of the Holyoke club
on Tuesday received a signed contract
from Mike McCormick, who will act
as manager and captain of his team.
McCormick will play shortstop.
A tentative line-up of the Holyoke
team is said to be: Pitchers, Horjge,
Sindler and Reiger; catchers, Ahearn
and Armbruster; first base, George
Bowers; second base, Baker; shortstop,
McCormick; third base, Perkins; out
field. Dolan, Burke and McCabe. Most
of the new men are young fellows
breaking into league ball, and their
real value is known In nfirt only by
followers of Independent teams. Mr.
Wlnklo thinks well of Bowers, his first
baseman. This fellow Is rangy and
active and a hitter. Pennsylvania In
dependent ball was his line last year.
Two others will try for first base. Arm
bruster is now living in Holyoke and
lntands to get Into condition early. If
he can get into the proper form the
Shances are that he and Ahearn will
o the backstopping.
Baker, at second base, will find com
petition from N.ovak. a Pennsylvania
boy. Campbell, tanother fellow from
the same state, and Kinney, a sup
posed crack from the Chicago City
league. The Chicago league has some
crackajack players and it may be that
Kinney is one of the glittoialng gems.
Perkins and McCormick will also have
competitors for their jobs, but until
they show the veterans will be consid
ered safe. In the outfield, McCabe, the
former pitcher, and Dolanttand fiurke
will be the upper three. A Maryland
youth named Brennan will also attempt
to hustle the outfielders, aid so will
some of the young fellows trying for
the Infield.
Half a dozen exhibitions at least will
be pjayed. the number depending on
the opening of the league season. This
Is a matter yet in doubt. Two games
will be played Patriots' day with some
Eastern league club. Providence was
invited, but Worcestar was In first.
GRISWOLD'S COLLAPSE NERVOUS.
Yale Stroke Was All Right Physically,
Says Julian W. Curtiss. , ,
New Haven, Conn., Jan. 13. Julian
W. Curtiss, graduate advisory rowing
coach of Yale, in a letter to the Yale
Alumni Weekly regarding the death of
Dwlght T. Griswold. stroke f last
year's crew, who colltpsed during the
race with Harvard on the Thames riv
er at New London, last June, says he
understands that the- death was due to
typhoid fever and that It had nothing
to do with his collapse In the race.
"That collapse," he writes, "has been
generally misunderstood. It was pure
ly nervous, and not physical. His
nervous condition was supplemented
by the false start. Long after .the race
was over he told me that during the
same he felt something clutching at
his throat; that he did not feel physic
ally exhausted at all, but that this un
known something was preventing him
from breathing. Physicians lave since
told me that this was a sign cfervous
collapse.
COLLINS WINS.

Samson Fails to Down Him in Sixty
Minutes.
(Special to The Bulletin.)
Westerly, Jan. 13. Before an en
thusiastic crowd of his following here
tonight. Bill Collins, the Central Vil
lage wrestler, defeated every attempt
of Oscar Samson, the Pittsfield heavy
weight, to throw him twice in an hour,
as called for by the terms of the
match. The match was held In the
Bijou theater.
Collins did even better than was
called for to win and Samson could
not do as much as he did at a pre
vious meeting of the two men, when
he got a fall In 55 minutes. Collins
did a lot of fast footwork which kept
him well out of reach of Samson's
bunches of muscle.
At the close of the match, Samson,
who weighed 183, challenged Collins,
who weighed 158. to a straight match
at catch-as-eatch-can. The Central
Village man will give him a reply In
a week.
Eastern Connecticut Baseball Meeting.

new clubs that will seek admission to
the league this year.
Waivers on Jack Hannifan.
Not all the National league mag.
rates are so keen to announce pub
licly the names of the men they have
aeked waivers on a Charlev Ebbets of
the Brooklyn club. Ebbets told the
names of twelve players whom he no
longer desired on Saturday last. Other
owners have betn keeping quiet on
the subject. However, it's a copper
riveted fact that the Bostcn Nationals
have risked for waivers on infieller
Jack Hannifan. who no longer is
wanted, or needed, in the Hub.

Flowers to be worn on the evening of
the prom are not prohibited, but it is
urgently requested that this item of
expense be diminished in so far ns
possible. The several members of the
committee Intend to carry out t.V-!r
recommendation to the letter In not
sending flowers on any occasion."
