TENNIS, BILLIARDS, ROWING FOUR PLAYERS OUTSHINE ALL THEIR FELLOWS Fans Idolize Graceful Stars Such Men as Lajoie and Chase, by Their Wizard Insight, Captivate Fans with Spectacular, Yet Consistent, Play BASEBALL Idols! What a long row of them there is In the joss house of the national sport. There are names with which to conjure from the late '70s to the present time. Have "Al" Spaldlng, George Wright, Harry Wright, "Ned" Williamson, "Baby" Anson, "Arlle" Latham, "Buck" Ewing, Charley Comiskcy, "Mike" Kelly. John Clarkson, "Sir Tim othy" Keefe, "Pat" Tebeau, John Mont gomery Ward, "Joo" Start, "Old Hoss" Radbourne, "Old Sport" Galvln, "Dan" Brouthera and two score and more of others been forgotten in admiring the achievements of the idols of the pres ent? Not so, for the memory which Is still green enough to go back to former days chertsho3 ;>s fondly its recollec tions of the old timers as its possessor admires the skillful art of the present generation. Why is a baseball idol? "Arlie" Latham, the wit of the dia mond, once answered that question by replying, "Because he can't help It. Nature sentenced him to it and he has got to serve his term without any time off for good behavior." Analyze Latham's statement closely and It will be found that truth is stowed away in its phrasing. The public creates the baseball idols, not the managers. The public is keen' and incisive in its judgment. It se lects men with red blood, quick per ception, strength, agility, physical grace sometimes and the rare skill of being able to do something a little better than somebody else at a critical moment. It takes one man for his pitching, another for his fielding, a third for his batting and when it finds one who can run, bat and field, or another who can strike three men out in succession when the game Is tightest and the excite ment la raging at fever heat it ex presses its adoration with a roar of applause that drowns all other sounds within the carrying power of the hu man voice. , • Combined with the necessary physical skill which must be an essential for a baseball idol there seems to be a cur rent of magnetism between him and the crowd that puts both in common touch. The mistakes that a baseball idol occasionally may make are forgotten In the memory of what he did some other time when the stress of battls was fiercest that brought victory to his team. No player who wavers or falters when the crucial moment is at hand can hope to bask in the smiles of the "sun gods." The Big Four Four players of the present genera tion are perhaps more discussed and argued over than any who may be named. They are Christopher Mathew son of the New York National league club, as great as any if not the great est pitcher ever connected with a pro fessional team; Napoleon Lajoie of the Cleveland club, one of the best batters in the history of baseball; "Haps 1 Wagner of the Pittsburg club, a splen did batter and a sensational floldcr, and "Hal" Chase of the Now York Amer can league club, whose graceful art at first base has never been surpassed, and who combines with it the qualities of a good batter and a good base run "Christy" Mathewson has made all of his reputation under the eyes of New York baseball enthusiasts. He played for a short time In a minor league club before he joined the Giants, but he was really in the primary stage of his career when he came to this city and he has developed from that to the leading position in the great ar ray of pitchers who occupy positions with the major league teams. He is popular because he is a win ner During all his career he has never had a wholly unsuccessful sea son His nearest aproach to one was In 1906, when he fell off a trifle because of illness contracted in the spring. At that ho won about two-thirds of the .games which he pitched. There seems to be nothing which <other pitchers can do that Mathewson \annot duplicate, and he can do a lit tle in addition. He uses tremendous Wed when he thinks it proper, varies it with a slow ball when he believes that he can fool the batter, can pitch a drop that will fall away from the plate until the ball seems to n°at like a toy balloon, and, with It al, prob ably has more perfect control of the balf than any other pitcher in either le These are his technical qualifications. And to them a modesty that amounts almost to diffidence, a deportment with which no fault is to be found and a boyish demeanor that belies the force of the man underneath it, and you have an idea of "Big Six," the nickname that the boys have now attached to him. And the boys of New York mado Mathewson an idol. Ho came here , a boy, and every boy In the city became vitally interested in him when he be gan to be successful. "Matty" and his successes were the gossip of the school yard, and as •Matty" always had a kind word for every boy who accosted him was not 'time before a train of youngsters fol lowed in his wake whenever he ap peared in public. Where the boys :'ound an idol their elders quickly found 1 Napoleon Lajoie played ball ih Fall Mass., before he became a mem er of the major league. He began his areer In expert circles in Philadelphia, md he whipped his way into the hearts f the Philadelphia populace by rapping c ball over convenient fences for me runs or hitting it over the heads the outfielders for three baggers en there were two or three men on bases. Incomparable Lajoie *c clubbed himself into popularity, tn who, can make home runs, three ,'gers and similar "wallops" with the Diamond World Worships Many Baseball Heroes MAL CHASE bases full never have to wait long be fore they are enthroned among the idols. A baseball "fan" can forgive much If a player can only hit. It is the primi tive admiration of the weak for the strong. Lajoie has the modest personality of the big man who cannot help it because he is able to make home runs. He would rather hlsi-urs any other player in a nine with which he happens to be connected than himself. If he should win five games in succes sion by making a home run each day the chances are that the only expres sion of satisfaction to be gleaned from him would be that his team had won. That's why baseball "fans" like Lajoie. "Hans" Wagner is even more diffident thta Lajoie. If he thought he was to be interviewed he would be likely to lock himself in his room. But "Hans" is an idol. The baseball public from California to Maine knows that if he comes to the plate he Is likely to drive the ball so far that the outfielders will chase it to the fences, or with such tremendous force that a fielder could scarcely be criticised for avoiding it. There is not a spectator who goes to a same but is aware of the fact that Wagner, with that wonderful reach — the reach of the octopus grasping its p re y_ w iii stretch himself into an in credible length, and with one of his broad, powerful hands pull the ball to the ground where a less agile man Would navor have been able tn touch it. "Hans" Wagner is the India rubber idol of thr national game. "Hal" Chase — "Prince Hal" they call him — is not only an idol because he can play ball well, but because he plays it with a physical grace which commands the admiration of every person who has a touch of the artistic in his nature. Hal Chase an Idol While the men did their share to make Chase an idol, it would be decidedly un fair to the women to say that they did not assist in the work. This young Cali fornian, who ha 3 been in the east but a short time and who has played all of his baseball with the New York Amer icans, can skip around the diamond with the polish of a French dancing master and play ball with the rugged accuracy of "Old Joe" Start, who was something of a first baseman in his day. No first baseman ever 'has been his equal in ability to take a hop, skip and jump from first base to the plate, pick up a bunt hit on the way and throw out some unfortunate runner who is trying to get to second base. Others than Chase make this play, but there is no one who makes it just like Chase. He is an idol because he does old fashioned things in a new fashioned way. He runs like a deer and he has the daring of a "Buck" Ewlng. The famous old New York catcher was not fleet of foot, but he attempted to make bases when other men were afraid to try and the audacity of his efforts so worried his opponents that they were more likely to blunder than to play accurately against him. You see in Chase some of that same splendid nerve. Give him an inch and he will take an ell. Give him half a lead to second base and ho is likely to be home before the play is over. Matthewson. Lajoie, Wagner and Chase probably represent $25,000 worth of annual expenditure to the New York National, Cleveland, Pittsburg and New York American league clubs. Lajoie draws a large salary, not only because he is second baseman of the Cleveland club, but for the reason that he is also the manager and captain. The other players are paid hand somely solely upon their merits as players. Their exact salaries are known only by themselvjs and the owners of the clubs wit* which they are connected. They foot well into the thousands. If their releases were to be sold, under the special provision by which ball players in the pro fessional leagues are kept in reserve, in order that some rich and wealthy chit may not absorb all the best talent of the country, it is certain that each of them would bring $10,000 or a sum very close to it. » : George Davis a Star ■ ln Chicago with the "White Sox," the champions of the world there is a ball player who may well be called a tri-clty idol. At various times he has been worshiped by the fanatics of Cleveland, New York . and . Chicago And he is worshipped by those of all three cities even now. - _ .; < ■ . .: George Davis began to be idolized because of his youth, and he has con tinued to be idolized because of the excellence of his playing. In the days of 1890, when the National league : and the • Brotherhood were at war, I Davis was discovered by the Cleveland club in Cohoes, N. ,Y. Cleveland had lost most of its play ers to the Brotherhood organization. lnI In the intense > rivalry ' between the leagues It did not take | long to divide all the baseball patronage : into ; hostile sections. ,■■ •"■[ ■■■ *.; ■ V '•■ ■■■-' .' ''. Neither of '< them i could see. much good in the players of the other, and finally . baseball . became .' so bad that nobody could see much good in it any where. ■ ~ ■ ' " : - ; ■■ * : . • - Out -v In •' Cleveland the Brotherhood had a lot of veteran • ball players who were- too lazy to try. Over at the Na tional league ground Davis, young and energetic,, was hitting .:> the ball for home runs and three baggers. '.' .••; I By and by the sarcastic "fans" began to : advise v the ;• Cleveland Brotherhood players , to l go to ' • the | National I league ground 'and' learn something "from . a kid." That * was ' the ■ beginning ,of . tho LOS ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE 9, 1907. UP-TO-THE-MINUTE NAPOLEON LAJOIE popularity which Davis never has lost to this day. There is another player in Chicago who is an idol because of sympathy, and he does not need the sympathy a bit, for he is abundantly able to take care of himself. Little enough that affects the baseball "fan," who is de termined to sympathize whether the player care for it or not. This man happens to be Brown, the pitcher of the Chicago National leabue club. Sometimes he is called "Three Fingered Brown." An accident in youth deprived him of a portion of his right hand. It did not prevent him from learning how to pitch a curve and how to control 'the ball well. Three. Fingered Brown Because of his crippled hand those who are with the under dog in the fight always wished Brown luck on general principles. That created sen timent for him. The first thing that the Chicago "fans" know Brown was pitching his club to the championship. That made him an idol. He was established on a pedestal firmly founded in the affection of the west side of Chicago, and his fame and his maimed hond are almost as much a tradition of Chicago literature as the long record of Mathewson's victories in New York. Coughlln is tho idol of the Detroit baseball devotees. It Is not because he is a particular graceful player or a wonderfully accurate player. It is his bulldog grit that makes him popular. Coughli.i has the fine faculty* in base ball of never knowing when ho is boaten, He may make an error one moment that will give the other side one run, and in the next five minutes make a three-baggrer that will bring In three runs for his side. That's why they like Coughlln in Michigan. There are other players who have been worshiped by the baseball "fans" of Detroit in tho past— do you recall "Charlie" Dennett, "Lady" Baldwin, "Deacon" White, "Hardy" Richardson? but none for whom the "bleacherltes" dig in their toes more peristently than tho swarthy skinned Coughlln. St. Louis had an idol In 1906 who bade fair to have a temple erected in his honor in 1907, and it was solely be cause he could lilt the ball. Stone, of tho American team, is tho chap. Awkward of manner, clumsy in his position at the plate, even unforceful in his way of striking at the ball, he managed to make more base hits than any other man in tho American league, and tho St. Louis public enjoyed him for his clumsiness. No matter how much the critics of other cities might scoff at tho ungrace ful attitut.o he assumed at the plate, St Louis people would come back with a scornful rejoinder, "Well, he hits the ball, and that's more than the others Beckley Growing Old St Louis, having the better of the argument, gradually began to worship Stone's awkwardnesß, but, alas for the transition of human fame, Stone has not been hitting so well this spring, and the foundation of the temple is shaking. , The St. Louis National league club is hard up for an idol. The oldest and best known player on the team is Beckley. He once made boilers for a living and he could bat In his day so hard that one would think he might shatter boiler plate with the ball. He is not the great player that ha was ten years ago, but he is so old that St. Louis venerates him for what he has done. Other players on the St. Louis National league team are young and almost unknown in National league circles. They are aspirants for the job of idol. Two or three of them appeal 1 to be FRANK CHANCE smart enough to make idols some day if they are properly trained by a com petent manager. Cincinnati is another city whose idols are in embryo. There has been such a clean sweep of the players that none but men who are to make, not to un load, reputations are left on the team. Among the newcomers js one who Is called "Hans Wagner II." His name is Lobert. Keep an eye on him. He is likely to be high idol to Cincinnati some day. The name would catch the Queen city if there were no physical qualifications to help Lo bert out. There is another at Cincin nati who may sit on tho throne of the worshiped. Baseball players call him "Admiral Schley," because his name is Schlei. He is a catcher, and he does things once in a while which cause tho phleg matic Cincinnati "rooters" to rise to their feet, pound their beer glasses in front of them and shout "Hoch!" Washington would have an idol if the team ever could be made strong enough to be a constant winner. Wash ington people are disposed to becoms enthusiastic when Patten pitches. Ho is their nearest approach to an Idol. Philadelphia was once filled with idols. There were so many rivals that it almost resulted in an idol war. One section was for one league and one for another. There were subsections o* the rival leagues. The Quake*) spent their evenings discussing the respective merits of the individual players. Then came baseball war and broke up the happy family. Erratic "Rube" Waddell Until last year the Athletics fur nished the popular idol of the city. He was the erratfc and self-impulsed Waddell. Ho was worshiped because he could do nothing like anybody else. He could not pitch like a perfectly normal baseball player. Once in a game he beckoned to the outfielder to go to the* bench. Then he struck out the side. He has one claim for idolatry unsur passed in tho history of the national game. One day at Detroit he was sup posed to have been on hand to pitch the most important game of the series. He failed to appear . at the baseball park. Late that evening he wandered into the hotel with a long string of fish in his hand and insisted upon tak ing them to the managers' room to show them to him. He had spent the day at Lake St. Clair instead of fooling around with a baseball team. When he arrived at Philadelphia they gave him an ovation, for he won every game that he pitched after the fishing trip. The Philadelphia Nationals were bur dened with batting idols. They had them in the early seventies, and they have seldom been without them until the last three or four years. Now they are cultivating a new one. His name is Sherwood Magee. He has been with Philadelphia less than throe years, but he has shown a tremendous zeal' in smashing the ball out of the lot. Hence tho popular clamor when he comes to the bat, and Magee is likely to follow In the steps of "Big Sam" Thompson and Delehanty. There Is not a baseball "fan" In the United States who has not heard of "Cy" Young of the Boston Americans. He is an idol because of his age. He is a vegetarian. He began to pitch in 1891 with Cloveland, of the National league, and he has been In harness since that time, and has never had an unsuc cessful season In his life. Small wonder that he Is an idol. He has pitched "no hit" games, one hit games, record strike out 'games and al most all other kinds of games. A giant physically, he is as gentle as a woman and as soft hearted as a child. His per sonal conduct is above reproach, and there has never been a harsh word spoken of him since he has been con nected with tho national game. Tenney Popular Fred Tenney of the Boston Nationals is an idol in a way. Boston "fans" like to see him make his quick plays to sec onl base, and like to see him hit tho ball when there are men on bases. They talk a lot about him ns a ball player, but when it comes to discussing him as a manager they criticise him. He is the only instance of an idol being an idol and not an idol. Perhaps if he should bring the Boston club up in thu first division this year ho would become a thirty-third degree idol. It makes all \Jj_e with a manager whether nls ream is successful or not. Boston . "fans" tell with pride that Tonney originated the play, best made by a left hander, of doubling up a batter by throwing to second ahead of the runner and catching the batter at first with a quick return. Ask them what they think about Tenney's manner of handling his play ers, and you get the Mr. Hyde side of the question. Brooklyn is not minus an idol. Far from it. He, too, happens t be a first baseman. It's strange how many idols have been at first base. Brooklyn's idol Is "Tim" Jordan, and he lives in the Bronx. He ;s president of a West chester association which has been dubbed in fun the "Tim Jordan Home Run Bund." Jordan is an Idol because he hits home runs. He made more home runs In 1906 than any other player In the National League, and Brooklyn took him into her arms in spite of tho fact that he belonged to the other side of "RUBE" WADDELL the East River, and officially adopted him for her own. He is affectionately known as the "Big City." That's because he hap pens to be a resident New York ball player. Whenever he clears the fence with a home run all Brooklyn goes to Coney Island for a jubilee. It has been rather cold this season, so there has been no incentive to go to Coney Island. There are two score of ball placers whose names have not bee-i mentioned who are idols. They are more "po sition idols" thnn "general idols," if thoro may be such a distinction. For instance, there are some who thin"- tl.at Bresnahan is the greatest all around catcher in the United States. Others believe that King is a trifle superior. Scores think there Is no third baseman "jual to Arthur Devlin of New York, while in '.ie west they are attached to Bradley of Cleveland. Evers of Chicago is regarded by many as the best second baseman. Some think "Iron Man" McGinnity a marvel. Turner of Cleveland is con sidered to be the greatest shortstop by his admirers, and so on through the list, but none of them r'.and forth with the distinctness of Matl.owt.on, Lajoie, Wagner and Chase. It has hoor, said that tho "Big Four" represent an, outlay of $25,000 a y»ar. All the Idols which have been men tioned could hardly be put under one tent for less than $75,000. AMATEURS, ATTENTION!

PART It EDITED BY STAFF EXPERTS BLACKWOOD GIVES FIGHT CLUB VERSION Manager John Blackwood of the Bclasco theater has a word of explan ation regarding the Panorama rink property being named in connection with a new fight club. Mr. Biackwood said last night: "So far a» my contemplating partici pation in the management of a new fight club is concerned there is nothing to it. Any connection of the Panorama rink relative to athletic affairs arises as follows: "Adolps Ramish and Philip Wilson have secured a lease on the property. Tho Melodrama Theater company has been organized, with myself as man ager. We intend tearing away tho rear portion of the present building and enlarging the house. "After the work has been completed we will rent the building for any amusement proposition which may meet our terms. "It has been proposed to make ar rangements for an athletic hall. While we do not intend to be actively in terested in prizo fights we w4ll rent the building to any fight club which may offer suitable inducements. "When plans are perfected the house will be given over to theatrical affairs." PICKWICKS TO MEET HOEGEES FAST GAME SHOULD RESULT TODAY San Diego Club at Present Leads the State League— Flag Victory Will Cause Tie for First Place What is expected to be a rattling fast baseball game will occur at Chutes park this afternoon betweert- the Hoegee Flags and the San Diego Pickwicks. San Diego now leads the Southern State league, and" a victory for the Flags will result In a tie for first place. The southern men's success has been in a great measure due to the fast twirl ing operators who have held down the •Pickwick box. ' Karnes, who will appear this after noon, formerly played with the Phila delphia National league club and came west because of his wife's poor health. Thus far he has been very successful against the Los Angeles clubs, as any follower of the bush league games here abouts will realize. In all probability Marshall will toss them across for the Hoegees.

NEW YORK, June B.— lt is true, as reported, that the Henley stewards have decided to return the entry o* Constance S. Titus for the Diamond sculls, on the ground that his expenses are to be paid by contributions, a great injustice will be done to the American champion. > Although entered formally by the Nonpareil Rowing club of Harlem, Titus was to pay his own expenses to England and not a penny of it was to come from other Individuals or organ izations. Titus is a genuine amateur. His oniy fault is that he refuses to compete against Frank Greer, the former champion, who is anxious to meet him afloat. But that his entry should bo turned back for that or for the mistaken idea that his expenses were to be defrayed by club contribu tions Is a mockery upon the spirit of fair play which is alleged to exist in England, but which spirit does not ex ist. It Is true that the entry of Titus is not indorsed'-by either the National As sociation of Amateur Oarsmen or the American Rowing association, the chief ruling bodies of this country, but then West of Philadelphia went to Henley last year without official indorsement other than the Undine Boat club of the Quaker city, and if West, why not Titus? The latter is a better sculler than West, however, and that may be one of the chief reasons why they do not want him along the noble Thames. SAN PEDRO TIDE TABLE High. " Low. ;>; ;> A.M. P.M. A.M.
