TINKER IS BATTING HOODOO ST.
Manager of Cincinnati Reds Cause*
Christy Mathewson, Star of Giants,
Much Annoyancs.
CBr CHRIBTY MATHEWSON. Veteran of
New York Pitching Staff >
Joe Tinker, manager of the Cincin-
nati Reds, has given me more trouble
than any other
batsman I ever
have faced during
more than twelve
years of service In
the National
league In fact. 1
long ago came to
regard him as my
batting hoodoo be
cause Joe always
has been a leading
factor in the de-
feats handed m«
by the Chicago
club. The season
of 1908 was a great one for Tinker. |
both before and after that memorable
pennant fight which went right up to
the last ditch. Joe and 1 have been
having some lively brushes, with each|
trying to outguess the other. Prob-
ably the roost bitter pill ever given
me by Tinker was administered on th«'
old polo grounds. New York, one aft-
ernoon late In the season of 1908.
New York. Chicago and Pittsburgh
were fighting it out In see-saw fashion
for the pennant, aud Brown, an old
rival, was pitching against me. The
eyes of fandom all over the country
centered about the result of the race,
which had narrowed down to the real
crisis. Neither side had pushed a run
over the plate in seven innings, and
naturally the great crowd gathered
about the yard was wrought up to a
high state of nervousness. In the midst
of one of these general brainstorm*
Tinker laid hold of the* ball, drilling a
liner high and far away to left cen
ter, the ball crashing against the cor
ner of the fence. Cap in hand, the
Cub shortstop whizzed around the
pathway, digging at top speed for a
homer. That run was the only one
scored In the battle, and Incidentally |
the beating this accorded ine practi
cally blasted every prospect we had
for winning the National league cham
plonshlp. At first Tinker had a weak
ness against low curve bolls cutting
the outside corner of the plate, but it
didn't tako him long to remedy this
fault One afteraoon after he had

Names Erased From Records
That the records of the corporation
commission in the case of Futch Bros,
of Mangum versus the Orient and
other railroads, in which the complain-
ants seek a refund for loss and delay
in a cotton shipment, have been tam-
pered with, was discovered at the hear-
ing of the case before Special Exam-
iner Henderson of the Interstate com-
merce commisison. The complaint
was originally filed with the Oklahoma
corporation commission, but because
of the interstate phases of the contro-
versy it was carried to the interstate
commission, and all records and testi-
mony were sent to the interstate com-
mission.
When the case was called by Exam-
iner Henderson, the Wichita Falls and
Northwestern, the Orient and the Fort
Worth and Denver City railroads, the
principal defendants, were not repre-
sented. I'pon investigation the discov-
ery was made that the names of the
Wichita Falls and Northwestern and
the Fort Worth and Denver City roads
had been entirely erased from the
reco.ds and the names of the receivers
had been substituted for the name of
Orient railroad. As a result of this
tampering, the three defendants were
not notified by the Interstate commis-
sion of the hearing scheduled to be
held in Oklahoma City and the three
defendants failed to appear before the
examiner. The case was continued,
but Examiner Henderson gave the
complainants the privilege of amend-
ing the complaint, so as to include the
names omitted aud change^, and bear
the date of the original complaint.
Henderson declares that he will inves-
tigate the matter fully and make every
effort to find out the person or persons
guilty of changing the records.
The names of five Oklahoma post-
masters were sent to the senate for
confirmation by President Wilson.
They are: It. E. L. Woods, Duncan;
F. M. Reed, Jr.. Afton; J. M. Ennis,
Antlers; Chas. J. Townsend, Isabelle;
J. Lee Willenon, Hush Springs.
Earl Hamilton, Browns' Clever Star.
Hamilton of St. Louis again demonstrated he was some pitcher when he
let the Yankees down with one hit. He has been doing grand work this 1
season and promises to be one of the leading twirlers of the American league.
Joe Tinker.
fanned three times Joe took a solemn
oath he'd never let it happen again
He set about to cultivate a new style
of batting against that particular sort
of pitching. If you'll pay strict atten-
tion to Joe In his batting poise nowa
days you'll note that he stands con
siderable distance from the plate. He
also Is said to hold a unique record
In that he never has been hit by a
pitched ball during his long service in |
the National league. When I first
knew Joe he wielded a long bat and
choked It as he stood close up to the
plate. Now he swings with one of the
shortest sticks in the big leagues. One
of the best things Joe does against
my pitching Is to comb extra-base
drives, hence he is duly qualified to
hold the title of "My Batting Hoodoo."
(Coprlght, 1911.)
QUEER DISPUTE IS SETTLED
Golf Ball Is Driven Over Center Field
Bleachers of New York National
League Grounds.
The dispute between golfers and
baseball players as to whether a gol!
ball could be driven from the home
plate at the Polo Grounds in New
York over the center field bleachers
■was decided in the affirmative the
other day. Grantland Rice, golfer and
baseball writer, and Oswald Klrkby
widely known amateur golfer, both
succeeded In making the drive Rice
put over one ball In four, and Klrkby
two In four. The golfers drove against
the wind, but the ball carried over the
top of the fence, which is about 5(
feet high at this point, by about IF
feet. A brassy was used for the
drives, and it is estimated that the
carry was about 200 yards The dis
tance from the home plate to the
fence is about 165 yards No ball
player has ever been able to drive a
pitched ball even into the lower part
of the center field. Manager McGraw
of the Giants saw the feat performed
Griffith Lauds Speaker.
Trls Speuker is the greatest out
fleldtr the game has produced, accord
Ing to Clark Griffith "I have seen al |
the great fielders of the last 25 years.'
he says, "and not one of them can be
classed with Speaker."
