hear the story of the man who not
only broke tip a o.iaeDau gaum um o

- lat-,ha-t-th-JUnLDinningweu,
here goes.
. 1 Walter Kuhn, Portland recruit ea,tch
r, was the man. i
.1 free no and. San Jose were the team
r - The California outlaw" town made up
th league.
The trick waa turned In the season
of 1908.
T WeU tell yon all bout thennntwoal
feat later,rbut while we are on. the mat
ter of records, thero Is Just another one
that will be of interest. Kuhn probably
holds the world's high mark for the
' number of chances accepted In the out-
, field.' They ' only numbered 17, about
half a down tnoreihan le, remembered
of SyoHieiouTrfeiaeftBcr-basebatt
" became a national pastime. We'll tell
you all about that too, " a .
Played for 23 a Month.
Kuhn. who Is II years of aire, began
playing baseball on the lots of Fresno
when he waa about It years old. His
advancement was rapid. -At the age of
l c years, Kuh . caught his- first pro
feslonal , game With the , Fresno- State
. loagua team. He had algned a contract
to play at the munificent salary of $25
a month, -which, in itself, is probably
another : record In this latter day of
frenzied baseball -finance., -f : v;
, When Mike Flstier put his Coast
league team into Fresno, the red-headed
backstop found himself out of a job
and hooked up with the amateurs. He
played amateur ball until the middle of
1908. when he Joined the Fresno out
laws, playing behind -the-bat and at
third base, and his chroniclers state that
he was a star In both positions. In
liOi ) with the same ; club he .played
every position In the park, his pitching
experience being limited to eight in
nings in one game, but they say. after
he relieved the Fresno regular pitcher,
the Oakland club never got a foul.
When the state league fell under the
spell' of the national commission last
' year under the rules laid down by that
august body, Kuhn reentered organized
baseball with the rest of the brigands;
Sow He : Seoame As '- Outlaw.
He became a member of the outlaws
by virtue of the fact that Cliff Blanken
shlp, then captain of the Fresno team,
signed him ; to a Minneapolis contract
and he later refused to reoort These
on the inside say that Cliff was afraid
of his job and for that reason wanted
to get rid of the young catcher. Along
. -with Billy Bloomfleld, the Portland
twlrler, Kuhn signed a contract with
Minneapolis on condition that if he
..didn't feel like reporting at the end of
the season, Blankenshlp would not send
his contract Into the secretary of the
national association. Fresno fans began
clamoring for Kuhn to catch all the
time; and the pitchers were eager, to
1 have him receive Instead of Blanken-
Ship, "V ,.lf.'r- .'"'J r:;j i.
This it is said, prompted Cliff to
send his contract to Secretary Terrell,
although he neglected to; do so in the
case of Bloomfleld. , His wife became ,111
" shortly afterwards '' and . Kuhn refused
to report to Minneapolis, whereupon he
was suspended. In this report his case
is almost identical with that of Tommy
Sheehan, -,who refused to) ' report to
Brooklyn M the National league when
, Portland will send a strong aggrega
tion of bowlers to compete in the West-
- em Bowling congress to be held at Spo
kane March 9 to It. More than 15000
. in prizes offered for the various events.
There will be .140 five men teams, 200
" two men and 300 individuals in the
meet The local howlers are counted
as some of the Iniost expert players
in the country.. Two teams will go from
this city. They are known as Tom Swln-

Illness In his family required his con
stant presence- on the toast ,
. Sensation ef Camp.
This year Kuhn has been the sensa
tion of the training camp. McCredls
says ha. reminds him-more of Marty
Bergen, one of the greatest catchers
In the game, than any other backstop
he has ever eeen. Oscar Jones, who
has pitched to them in the big and lit
tle leagues, said be never had a catcher
who showed the ability of Kuhn. He is
as fast as a bullet and is always in
position to throw on reoeivtng a pitch.
There is none of the windup of Ous
FlsheriwhenKuhtt slama. ball to a
base. He whips flatfooted and uses
only his arms when he throws. This
is a decided advantage and when work
ing with a fellow who watches the bases
like Bill Steeii It is next to impossible
to get away with a suaL . Those who
have seen him In the training camp
predfUthat he.wlll be ane-of the great
est catchers la the country" In a few
years. :,vv;-,... -n. ,. .
Now for the yarn about breaking np
the outlaw league la Hits Fresit was
playing San Jose at Fresno. - There was
great Interest, In the game, gan Joee
was half a game ahead of Stockton and
a big delegation of Stockton sports came
down to see if the game was on the
square. Charlie Baura was pitching for
Fresno end Kuhn was catching. Elmer
Stricklett, the spjtball discoverer, was
the San Jose deceiver and Bobby Eager,
the receiver. " V;'" . j e
; Bald He Would Snook Homer, -f
Baum was dead anxious to win from
San Jose and Kuhn naively informed
him that If it was necessary he would
hit It over the fence. Twice in the
early Innings he slammed the ball to
the fence and Reed in left field pulled
sensational catches. The third time up
Kuhn sacrificed a man to second, tht
only one in the game to get that far.
In the last half of . the ninth, Eager
began ""kidding" - Kuhn." The redhead
took it good naturedly and after chaf
fing with Bobby for a spell, picked out
one of Stricklett'S "spltters," ' and
hoisted it, this time clear over the left
field fence. Idolising fans .showered
silver . dollars on him and ths Fresno
ites and Stocktonltes went clean nutty.
Stockton and San Jose each had two
more games to play. Stockton waa up
against Oakland, the team which estab
lished a record of 17 straight defeats,
and San Jose was against Sacramento,
one of the strong, teams of the league.
San Jose refused to play any; more, after
being defeated and placed behind Stock
ton, and the league broks up.- """. ..y
His Wor In the Garden, v"
The 17 chances that, Kuhn recorded
were made In left field in a game be
tween Fresno and Oakland in ISO. Thir.
teen of the number were files, while four
were assists, made In throwing men
out, three at the plate and one double
play on third base. None of the older
players here can remember of anything
that approaches this record. ; 4
. Kuhn also had a habit of throwing
men out at first now and then from left
field. This feat only toes .to indicate
the marvelous arm and accurate snap
the little fellow has in whipping Jhe hall
around the diamond. That Kuhnfwho is
a clever and consistent batter, will be
Portland's first catcher next season.
supplanting, Tommy' Murray and beating
out Jack Bradley, is the prediction f
those who have seen hint play.

Ous Ahrens. and, Perle, Casey. . . ,
The other .team, consists of Charles
Kruse, Al Ahrens, L. F. Bishop, George
