"WHO'S ED WALSH" Little Stories About Baseball By W.A.Pkelon- 1 SUPPOSE," says Bhody Wallace, the great shortstop, "that Ed Walsh imagines everybody in the world of baseball admires him, considers him a great pitcher, and mentions his name in tones of deepest admiration. How we all deceive ourselves! How we do exaggerate our own renown! Probably Ed would be jarred out of his spiked shoes if he knew that in April 1912, there was one man, right in the big leagues, who didn't even know that Walsh existed, and, for that matter, didn't know that the American league was a large, independent, national agreement body! 'This remarkable man was pitcher Baumgardner, of the St Louis Browns, a kid hurler who came up from the Mountain league. His first big league game was against Corniskey's club, and, while he warmed up before the battle, I thought I would jolly him along a little. So I walked over to him. Now, boy,' said I, 'don't you be afraid of these fellows. Just you go right along and pitch to them the same as you would to the guys in any little league. Don't worry.' " 1 won't,' said he. "But say, who's the big fellow warming up for the White Sox?' '"Him, I answered, 'Why, that's Ed Walsh.' " 'And who's Ed Walsh?' again asked Baumgardner. arWhy, boy,' I exclaimed, 'surely you know Ed Walsh? "Nope,' stolidly replied Baumgardner. 1 never heard of him. Who is the guy, anyway?' "I controled my amazement with some difficulty. Ed Walsh,' said L, "is now, and has been for years, one of the greatest of all pitchers. Many people consider him the greatest spitball pitcher now in the game. He has been the mainstay of the White Sox for seven years, and right now he seems to be as good as ever. In short, my hoy, you are gazing upon one of the most wonderful pitchers in the his tory of the game!' "Baumgardner looked at Walsh while a disbelieving grin curled round the cor ners of his mouth. "1 don't think he can be so much of a much,' negatived Mr. Baumgardner, firmly. If he was such a wonder, the National league would have drafted him.' "And all I could do was to gasp and stagger."
