OVERALL RATED GREATEST
PITCHER IN THE WORLD
Bis Jeff Overall Is undoubtedly the
best pitcher In the world today, says
the Chicago American. This big fel-
low has been going along with the
Cubs this year, pitching more games
than any other man on the staff and
has won them all in the most impres-
sive manner.
Kut not only this year has the bl*
fellow accomplished wonders, but last
year as well. It is not generally known
but this California giant has won no
less than fifteen out of his last six-
teen games, and the one not credited
as a victory was an eloven Inning tie,
his last game of 1906.
This year he has been the chief de-
pendence of the Cubs and has made
the fans sit up and take notice at his
wonderful work. He has shown that
even the great Christy Mathewson,
tile pride of Gotham, has nothing on
fclm and the best critics declare that
Is better than Mathewson ever was,
and his record for this year and last

COACH WARNER HAS FORM-
IDABLE LIST OF GAMES
ARRANGED
U. OF C. AND GOPHERS
Indian School Management De-
sires to Give Big Cities
Chance to See Redskins
Carlisle, Pa.. May 25.—Glen 8. War-
ner, who resumed his care of the Car-
lisle Indian Athletes at the beginning
of the year, has announced the make-
up of his football schedule for the
coming season of 1907. Warner be-
lieves that the great college game Is
not as hard on the players under the
new rules as It was formerly, and
thinks that by a liberal use of substi-
tutes whenever practicable the team
he will have at his disposal can han-
dle the proteutlous schedule he offers
In good shape.
There can be no question but that
the list of games to be played by the
eturdy aborigines this year Is mora
formidable than that facing any col-
lege in the country, but the master-
hand of Warner Is seen In the admir-
able arrangement of the contests
which are to be played In the big pop-
the Seat, and at
apnl|s. it is very
TTttHka! v nfiv u Ames will be addod

The University of Virginia game at
Norfolk. Va., the Vanderbllt game at
Nashville, the University of Cincinna-
ti game at Cincinnati and the W U.
P game at Plttaburg have been dropp-
ed for the season and big games with
certainly shows this to be true
as these two years go.
The trouble with the big fellow in
the early part of last year was that
he could not get enough work
is one of those strapping giants that
needs constant work to bring out the
best that is In him.
Overall has shown but one weak
this year. That Is that he cannot get
started quickly enough. Invariably the
opposing team finds him for a few
hits In the first inning and he some-
times contributes a base on balls or
two before he settles down. That Is
because he Is not sure of himself and
has not yet fully located the angles
of the plate and therefore Is afraid to
cut loose at the start.
After the first Inning, however, he
bums the ball across with his terrific
speed and his puzzling curves and gets
better the longer he pitches. He nev-
er tires and when once started the op-
posing team Is usually helpless.
Princeton University, at New York
City, and the University of Chicago,
at Chicago, added.
The Indian school management
feels that the first named cities
should sacrifice their Indian game for
a year at least, to accommodate the
big cities who have not had an op-
portunity of seeing the redskins for
some years.
An unusual modification In the In-
dian schedule provides that the season
will close with the Chicago game on
the Saturday before Thanksgiving..
The schedule follows:
September 21—Albright College vs
Carlisle Indians at Carlisle

lege vs. Carlisle Indians, at Carlisle

There will be soma difficulty In ar-
ranging the match as Longboat Is an
amateur of unquestioned standing
while Hhrubb Is an acknowledged pro-
fessional. It la thought that the In-
dlun will not consent to compete with
a professional as he hopes to go bo col-
lege and make ths school track team.
Shrubb Is a wonderful runner and

he and longboat participated, records

It's the guy with the pepper and the gab
that gives the bleachers an aggravated
attack of Dementia Americana.
I have given some study to this new
disease called "Dementia Americana." j
and I find that the commonest form ct |
"Dementia Americana" is a summer
complaint largely epidemic in the vicin-
ity of baseball parks. It Is fatal only
to business, but when once contracted
Is never permanently cured. The symp-
toms are an Intense craving for the
morning papers on getting up in the
morning, and a ravenous appetite for
sporting notes. A habit of closing up
the office Ih the afternoon and wander-
ing to an enclosed park to perform
calisthenics and do gymnastic stunts
with some thousands of others afflicted
by walking on each other's complexions
and doing double somersaults on your
neighbor's tile. At such times the de-
sire to exercise the lungs appears to
be overwhelming, and a severe attack
Is frequently followed by paralysis of
the larynx. They do not use asylums
for this form of "Dementia Americana,"
us a protection to the other patients.
Now. sonny, it's your mission In life to
spread this "Dementia Americana," and
If you don't start an epidemic up around
that knowledge factory you'll have to
beat it back to the wheat belt, where
you can hitch up with the home team
on the milk wagon.
Some of these times I want to ship
you down to Cuba to trim your lamps |
on some fielding that will make your
breath come in short gasps. When It
comes to sensational work tn the field,
those Cubans have anything In Uncle
Ham's stable backed clear off the boards.
They're firetty much on the cheese with
the stick, and they're shy with the gray
matter on the bases, but they're a bunch
of highway robbers in the field. They're
so fast they'd be run In for exceeding
the speed limit in this country, and they
pull down hits with one hand like pick-
ing berries. And throw!—those Colorado
mad tiro's can trot out any time In the
year and make Esra Sutton's record look
like a shot put, and they don't know
what a sore arm Is. When an outfielder
throws to the plate the ball comes in
on a line, and If the catcher misses It
some one In the next county gets a
wheel torn off. If those dagoes only had
the think tanks and the pit. hers they
could make the world's championship
look like a runaway.
Well, I must close now and go fishing.
It's pretty good now up above the dam,
but down by the village the water Is so
low that the guys are kicking about the
dust which the fish put up when they
swim up stream. Will write you again
next week- FROM TOUR DAD.
CURS AND GIANTS COMPARED.
Chicago Is Out hit ting, Outficlding and
Kuiiuiiig liases ik'ikv Tliait
New York.
The Cubs and the Olants appear
evenly matched. There may be a
slight difference In the hitting of the
clubs, but the pitching staffs are about
on equal terms, and It is almost cer-
tain that the present series will be
twlrlers' battles, says the Chicago
News. Local fans are on the anxious
seat. They are expected to keep close
to the tickers for three days.
Each club has six twlrlers it is send-
ing In to work in rotation, and of this
number Chicago has three pitchers
who have not as yet lost a game, while
New York has three pitchers who
have not met defeat tills year. Two
of McGraw's pitchers have lost all
the games for the club. For Chicago
Jack Pfiester, Brown and Taylor are
credited with losing for Chicago. Ov-
erall, Ltingdren and Frazer are the
local slabblsts who have not met de-
feat. while Mathewson, Ferguson and
Wiltse carry those honors for the
(Hants. Of the last three men named
Mathewson and Wiltse will probably
work, with Ames or McGinnity taking
part in tiro third game. Ed Reulhach
cannot be counted on working in this
series, as he has not as yet struck his
right gait.
Figures on the work of the Inflcld-
ers with the stick lean slightly in favor
of the Chicago bunch. Stelnfeldt, who
Is again hitting well, has far the bet-
ter of Devlin. In twenty-seven games
played by the local third sacker he
has made thirty-one hits and crossed
the pan ten times. Chance and Tinker
have a shade over MqGann and Dah-
len, but Corcoran Is out batting John
Evers. Chance has niade twenty hits
In twenty-five games for a total of
twenty-five bases, while MoOann has
made fourteen raps In twenty-two
games for a total of fourteen bases.
The Chicago club is also on the top
in the fielding line. That Is, the In-
flelders have been doing better work.
Tajclng Chance, Evers, Tinker, Stein-
fefdt and Hoffman as a whole, against
McOann, Corcoran, Devlin and Dah-
len, the errors sum up as follows:
Chicago, 18; New York. 25. The out-
fielders break about even In covering
the gardens, as each club has two
men with errors and one without.
Single and Scheckard made the errors
for the Cubs and Seymour and Shan-
onn have them for New York, while
Schulte and Strang have played an
errorless game up to date.
The Chicago team also has It on the
Giants In stealing bases. The total
number of bases for both teams, ex-
cluding the pitchers, are: Chicago,
43; New York. 8 6. Evers. Chance and
Slagle are keeping up the record for
the Cubs, Chance and Slagle being
tied with eleven, while Evers has ten.
For New York the men are about on
even terms In pilfering sacks. Strang
leads the club with eight stolen bases,
while Shannon and Breshahan follow
him with five.
In scoring runs the Cubs' Infield and
outfield have the better of the New
York combination by two runs. Ninety
runs have been made by the locals,
while the Giants have crossed ths
horns plate clghty-slght times.
n summing up the respective
merits of the players It Is apparent
that the Chlcsgo team has been out-
hlttlng, outfleldlng and running bases
better than Its rivals.
was not uncommon for him to "play"
$50,000 on a single race, and It is a
matter of record that he once bet $4 8.-
000 to win $3,000. He died recently
an impecunious paralytic and not long
before he "passed" he summed up
"the game" in a talk with an iuter-
vlewer as fojiows:
"From my own bitter experience,
after more than thirty years of racing.
It is beyond human power to beat the
ring Betting Is, after all. a question
of figures, or rather of mathematical
proportion. On a moderate estimate.
1 should say that there are thirty-two
chances against the backer in every
race that is run. But I am in no mood
for giving advice, and don't suppose
that any one would take It if I did.
If there are any fools, young or old.
who believe that they have a divine
mission to break the ring let them go
ahead and take their chances as I
have done, with a similar result."

Mike" Dwyer was the most fa-
mous "plunger" that the American
running turf has ever known. In ths
hey-day of his spectacular career It
pointed out in concise manner the big
advantage1 Altrock has over an oppos-
"Nlck Altrock Is one of the hardest
pitchers in the world to beat, because
he doesn't give the baserunners a
chance to steal on him." says Frank
Selee. the former manager of the Chi-
cago Cubs. Mr. Selee. who has always
been one of the closest observers in
baseball and one of the most interest-
ing talkers on the national ganv
*
Ing team.
"In the first place," says the veteran
manager, "Altrock has almost perfect
control. That means you have got to
hit the ball to get to first. Secondly,
you can't steal on him, because he
watches first like a hawk and has a
wonderful snap throw to the base
which does not permit a runner to get
more than two steps away from the
base without great danger of getting
caught.
"There are several pitchers In the
game who have more speed and better
curves than Altrock, but who don't
win as many games. Nick more than
makes up for his lack of speed and
curves by his great fielding, his ac-
curate control and his attention to
men on the bases. It has been the
same for years. Good left-handers
who kept the runners close to first
were always winners.
"Against that kind of pitching a
team Is at the horrible disadvantage.
You can't steal basea. and the hit-
and-run play Is easily broken up.
When the runners are kept hugging
first, force plays at second base occur
with frequency and the Inflelders are
given more time to pull off double
plays."
KNEW BASEBALL LANGUAGE.
Tl*e Musical Editor Wrote the Base-
ball Story for the Sport Scribe.
The baseball editor, having been
summoned by telegraph to attend the
funeral of a distant relative, and hav-
ing barely time to catch the train,
turned his notes over to the musical
editor and asked htm, as a special fa-
vor. to write up the game that had
been played that afternoon.
The musical editor took the notes
and studied them.
"I don't know much about base-
ball," he soliloquised, "but I know
some of the words In the vocabulary."
Here Is the story hs turned In a
few hours later:
"The game between the Chlyorks
and the Bostrolts yesterday afternoon
was witnessed by a large and oritlcal
audience. It was a cold day. however,
and the fans were conspicuous by
their absenoe. Overcoats ruled Instead.
"The performance opened with the
veteran Sulllvls at ths bat Four or
five strikes were called on him, and
then he lifted a beautiful foul over
the left field fence, taking third on
the play. Hahnsome stole home mak-
ing two out. Donnobell was hit in the

Rattles Before Small Omwdi Usually
On the Square.
Now thst ths Bums-O'Brien Job has
been pretty thoroughly sifted out and
all hands properly frlssled, there Is a
chance to make quick arrangements
in the fistic game. And, first of all,
and as a pointer for the future, let It
be said:
Big buildings and big money kill
pugilistic honesty.
There has never been a fake of any
caliber in a small clubhouse There
has never been a fake where the mon-
ey at stake wasn't of colossal sire.
Where there are buildings with ca-
pacity to hold huge crowds and take
in big money, the temptation to fake
seems to come up as surely as the
sun sets and rises. There Would never
have been a scandal In Chicago if Tat-
tersall's hadn't given Gans and Mc-
Govern the chance to exhibit there be-
fore a mighty multitude.
The ndvocates of "big shows" com-
plain that the stars of pugilism can't
be coaxed to fight In small hnlls. They
can't? Didn't they turn up right along
In the little places, till Tattersull's got
busy? Didn't Ryan. McCoy, Choynskl,
Gans, Dixon, Walcott, Root and
O'Brien cheerfully exhiblte their skill
In those places, well satisfied with
what money came their way, and put*
ting up better fights than Nyor# sliown
In the big building?
When t^ere a chance to have a
light In a place where $15,000 worth
of people will come In .the tempta-
tion to "get the money easy" seems loo
much for the warriors. Odd, paradoxi-
cal. but trot—a fighter will go hon-
estly and fight his head off for $1,-
200, but will fako and rob the public
for $12,000 How can this be figured
out? What's the answer?
Let Nevada have the big arenas—
a finish fight and the fierce-eyed- men
who surround a Nevada ring will tend
to make those bouts on the level I*et
Callfornlans have the big buildings
and the big ones—If the public will
ever come to them In the future. Small
buildings and real contests should h«
good enough for the rest of the coun-
try.
In New York, when a few small
clubs ran, there was great scrapping.
After the big ones opened up there
was a great scandal. So has It been
In all places, and so, apparently, will
it lie forever.
Los Angeles has been a great place
for scandals and funny deals—Just as
bad aa Chelsea, where the fight fan
might as well have shaken dice with
himself to pick a winner. Kid Her-
man got It good out there. Nate IjowIs,
his manager, was tipped before Kid's
fights with Herrera and Attel that If
either of these men got the slightest
shade on Herman the Kid would lose,
while the best Herman could get, shy
a knockout, would be a draw And so
It proved.
California isn't as had as It was
some years ago. when the San Fran-
cisco promoters used to get the fight-
ers together before the fight and say:
"We don't give a rap who wins, ljy*
we've got to know who Is g«> ",ig to
win before we place oil* bets" It's
pntfy bad* th niui this last it-
fair Is the lefionlzed limit.
