Pennsylvania Has a Girl Pitcher Who t« a Whirlwind. Allentown, Pa., Aug. 24.—What do you think of a twirter who is a girl and who really pitches big league ball? Perhaps some day Cy Young and Christie Mathewson will give way to a pleasant faced young lady who will proceed to make the batters puncture the air with holes and simply froth at their inability to solve her delivery. The prodigy of the season is Miss Carrie Moyer, who recently accom plished the remarkable feat of pitching eight innings for the Moxies and shut ting out the strong Temperance team. Miss Moyer allowed her opponents but two hits. ISight thousand people cheered as inning after inning good batsmen struck out or popped little flies to the infield. A deceptive out curve and drop ball .proved their undoing. Although of a stock build, she pos sesses the typical baseball player's ap pearance, but does not pose for the grand stand. Only 17 Years Old But 17 years of age, Miss Moyer, started In as a baseball player when quite yojung. Practicing with her brother she acquired the knack of sending in a drop ball and later de veloped an outshoot. Her forearm AMERICAN CIGAR 1 HI Fi'th Avertua HEW YORK CITY.

Lithe and active, she has fully demonstrated th fact that all the awkwardness of the usual throwing of a ball by a woman can be fully eliminated. Her slow balls are most deceptive In the first inning the heavy hitters of the Temperance team were inclin ed to be easy with the female wonder but in the second inning attempted to make up for the carelessness and were unable to do so. Time and again the Temperance bo|s^fanned the air until the|| backs Good at Batting, Too. At the bat Miss Moyer displays the same splendid Judgment she does while in the pitcher's box. One of the two runs scored by the Moxies was due to her base hit, made in the fourth inning. It was one of (those safe cracks too high for the second baseman to reach and too far in for the centerflelder to reach. It was a good, sound smack and set the large crowd wild. Miss Moyer refuses to run bases, so that another member of the team is always ready to run for her. To Study Music. While at home Miss Moycnr, plfiys for her own amusement, but While away she demands money. With her earnings so far this season she will Study music in New York during the coming winter. Although a musician of ability, it is her aim to become per fect in the art. Much of Miss Moyer's ability as a baseball player is due to the practice she obtained while a student at the Keystone State Normal school. It was during her school days that her spare time was given to athletics. The all around exercise was used to good advantage and made her a favorite with all the other students. So far thts season Miss Moyer and her brother have been the star bat teries in six games, winning four. Cheap Player. New Haven, Conn., Aug. 24.—The lowest price ever paid for the release of a baseball pitcher is believed to be the consideration paid by C. J. Danher of the New Haven team to J. J. Madi son, president of the Holyoke, Mass., club, for the transfer of Carson C. Hodge, the Holyoke pitcher, to the New Haven team. "What is your price for Hodge?" said Danaher to Madison nt the league meeting. "I will sell him for a quarter," said Madison. "Taken," said Danaher, and Madison wrote on the back of an envelope: "I hereby sell Carson C. Hodge to C. J. Danaher for the sum of 25 cents." He signed the contract, Danaher paid the quarter and the deal closed. Now Hodge refuses to abide by the arrangement and Tommy Dowd, the team captain, is backing him up. A league complication is likely to result. »$RTH-COP SCHEDULE. Fargo at Home With Calumet Aug 24, 25, 26. Houghton, Aug. 28, 29, 30. Duluth at Home With Lake Linden, Aug. 31, Sept. 1, 2, 3,3.
