Old Timer Says Four Assists
From Outfield Are .Not
So Many. ,
That Fred Clarke's. four assists In a
game with the Philadelphia club was a
record broken is disputed by ; Frederick
Haught of the City of Brotherly Love.
Discussing the matter he says: ',,
"Nearly 2Q, years ago a right fielder
on the Cincinnati team, I think his name
was Wright, beat that by two, if not
three, and the beauty of it was that
every assist he made cut Off a bate
hit. The Reds were playing the Phillies
here. There was a tremendous 'Crowd,
necessitating the stretching of the
ropes to accommodate the overflow in
the outfield. J,'jij,E""' yf 'arry the
ropes so near the ngnt n;jvij
those days. ? r ....
"Wright seemed to be a pretty sharn
fielder and. ha-d a -goo4 arm. Instead of
playing In the "turf, --where the right
fielder usually played, he measured his
distance so that he could back and get
afiy ball that did1 not actually go into
the crown. This hrought htm equi
distant, between the . ropes and the
base lines. All flies tbat went to tils
territory Were either outs of two base
Wts, but whenever sv grounder went
out his' way there was nothing to it.
He really played rtgjA tlt'd.. short stop,
and he nailed either six or setfen men at

was there almost before htm ; and he
made a circular slide, hooking his ankle

"KING" COLE READY V'!
. TO PITCH HIS GAME

- A number of the western: and eastern '
admirers- of Leonard Cole don't think
the young pitcher of the Cubs can stand
the work in the proposed world's serlea.
It is contended that the thought of the
Importance Of the contests and facing
a team 'like the Athletics would upset .
him. - ' .
Cole' was asked ; If he thought hi
Wu,ld be able to pitch with the cqolnese
that he had shown up to date and his
answer was: , t '

portance.but that should not' make any
difXerepce with a twlrler. If Chanre ,
puts me In I would do just. as t have
done In the past. Perhaps f will be
more cautious, as I have not , seen any
of the Athletic batters, and have not the
least Idea how they hit I pitch to win '
in eyery game and I would do the same
In a world's series game," '
