THINKS WELL OF RUBE. Cantlllon Only Is Man to Handle Erratic Twlrler. CLEVELAND. April ll Larry Lajoie, of the Cleveland club, la one player who believes that Rube Waddell, the eccentric diamond actor, still has the ability to travel in, fast company. Nap says that the fact that the Rube is with Joe Cantlllon this season will make him a big winner.

According to Larry, there is only one man In this wide world who can handle Waddell right and that man is the present manager of the Minnesota American Association club. Cantlllon will let Waddell have a free rein." says Lajoie. "He won't issue any orders, but will put It up. to Rube entirely. I expect that the Rube will pull off a select series of his copyrighted stunts again this year, but I wouldn't be surprised if he pitched fully fifty games for Cantlllon.

know both of them well and. believe me, they make a good combination. Waddell is far from the has been stage. He still possesses the stuff and it only remains for some one to get It out of him. Joe is the one to do it." SCHLJTZER.

FAST BALLS; REDUCE SCORES i oJi an i Christy Mathewson is of the opinion that the day of the alow ball pitcher in fast company Is a thing of the past. 'When I broke Into the big. league. said Christy yesterday, "Win Mercer, Clarke Griffith, 'Red Donohue and other pitchers were getting away with their games each one depending upon a slow ball to a large extent. Billy Reldy and Dusty Rhoades followed them, but look over the list of pitchers in the two big leagues today and you will not find a single pitcher who is noted for his slow ball.

There may be some who have a floater in their repertory, but they do not depend upon It to any extent. Today, the big league pitcher must have speed. The majority of the big league pitchers are large men, but large or small, they must be able to put steam on the ball or they: go back to the minors. In fact, when a big league scout reports some minor league find to his employer, the first Question that the latter asks is, 'Has he any smoker "I have reasoned it out that the slow ball pitcher scarcely ever won his games by small scores, and the clubs in the days when slow ball pitchers thrived generally had a lot of batters who won their games by big scores. It did not cause much damage If Ave or six runs were scored against a club that owned a slow ball pitcher If that team was able to go out and score seven or eight runs.

But nowadays the scores are smaller and the man with the floater finds it difficult to stand the pace. Big Track Squad at Earlham. Special to The Indianapolis News. RICHMOND. April IX Coach Thlstlethwaite, of Earlham.

a AMONG THE BALL PLAYERS. Every time Bill Dahlen. manager of the Dodgers, goes back to Brooklyn he has made up a few dosen ash bats, best stuff that can be obtained from Pennsylvania upland logs He never permits a trade mark or legend of any kind to be stamped into the Brooklyn bats. Hannua Wagner's feet not mates last year! Nothlnar in that. The corn doctor said "seven on each and strucic all of 'em out by the roots, vaguer always Elayed ball with his head, hands and road shoulders, which spoils the corn tale.

i 'Mr RUMBLE BECOMES ROAR WHEN BALL FALLS SAFE MIGHTY SWING BY CARISCH TELLS THE STORY. NIEHOFF GREAT BASE THIEF It was along in the sixth inning end after two Indiana were out that something happened at Washington park, yesterday afternoon. The tribe and the Brewers were running neck and neck, apparently without an advantage on either aide, unless, it was in the pitching department. Rows of goose eggs on the scoreboard showed that no runs had been cored, and the thousands of fans were watching for an advantage to appear, but hoping with tense feeling that the advantage would show for the tribe. Two men were out when Nleholt stepped to the bat.

The Hoosier third sacker had already shown that ho was a good waiter, and he waited again on Ullligan. Finally the fourth bad one was thrown past Niehoff and the Indian trotted down to first. The crowd took hope with this cllght advantage, and a sllajht rumble of tapping heels grew into a thunder. Then Carisch walked to tlio plate and spat on his hands. The thunder abated and only the rumbling was heard, and this died out when Gllltgan to heave the Dalls past the batter.

"One strike," yelled by the umpire, caused considerable apprehension. Gillian was encouraged and he sent another toward Carsch. 'The veteran catcher, wo had stood like a rock, gave a quick motion and his strong arms sent the bat around with a lightninglike movement. It met the ball and the sphere sailed away into the air. There was an instant hush in the crowded grand stand and bleachers, while the thousands watched the ball and the hurrying fielders who ran toward each other in left center.

The crowd saw them turn and run more in the direction of the flag pole and they knew then it waa probable the ball would fall safe. A roar like thunder came from thousands of throats and an instant later, when the ball fell to the ground clear of the fielders aad rolled farther, tub excited multitude arose to their feet and yelled themselves hoarse. The hit was a two bagger and Niehoff made the circuit of tha banes and scored what proved to be the only run and the winning run of the i first championship game of the season. I Great Sport 'for Fans. No better sport was ever offered the fans.

Schlltxer waa in fine fettle and his twirling waa of a brilliant nature. Only three safe blngles were ctven the and these hits were widely separated. Only once did it seem likely that the Brewers would score and that was in the sixth when Charles got a single and stole second. He went to third on Jones's out and the fans experienced a sense of relief when DeGroft went out. One of the best features of the contest was tho thieving of Niehoff.

This intrepid player stole three times after he had reached tf mra I K.U. mn4 tf.nrJk fT an error by Lewis. Each time he made such speed that it was not necessary to suae, and this meant much' considering that a man like Breen was the man behind the gun at the plate. The errors credited to Niehoff and Mows were in a manner ex cusable, as both were made on burning hot bounders. The Brewers, too.

put up a great fielding game, and this added to the pleasure of th enthusiastic fans who braved threatening weather to see the opening mill. AB. BR. 8H. Tt.
