' THIS PITCHER GOOD
Something About History of Nichols,
Who Is in Automobile Business
in Kansas City.
I' you want to arouse an old-time
fan, whisper to him, "Pid Nichols."
It is a broad statement, but thou
sands will support it, that baseball
neVer produced a finer gentleman, a
greater pitcher, or a more splendid
type of man than Charles A. Nichols.
Today he is owner of a flourishing
automobile sales agency and a bowling
alley in Kansas City.
When he was 22, slender in build,
boyish in appearance, Nichols earned
the monicker, "Kid," which has stuck
to him like a burr, by pitching Boston
into the championship in 1891
Boston won the pennant in 1891, '92,
'93, '97 ad '98, and Nichols was al
ways there, doing his share, and more.
In those five years the "kid" pitched
222 games, of which he won 156, giving
. him the wonderful average of .702.
In the earlv '90 'a haadiAll woi a
rough and rowdy game. The Tebeaus,
the MeCIraws, the Burketts and the
Kellys were in the ascendent and Bal
timore, Cleveland and Pitsburg were
spesially hard teams to handle. Play
ers surged about the umpires, ques
tioning every other decision,, but Nich
ols was at all times quiet and orderly
until play was resumed, when he quick
ly retired the batter.
The best hitters were clay in the
hands of Nichols when he was in his
prime. No mater how rough or un
ruly they were, the players always re
spected Nichols as a man and as a
pitcher.
Behind the "Kid" on the old Boston
team were Tom Tucker, Herman Long,
Bobby Lowe, Hugh Duffy, Tom Mc
Carthy, "King" Kelly, Charlie Ganzel,
Charlie Bennett, Stivets and 8tnlcy.
Some baseball team, folks!
Nichols was as great a pitcher in his
day as Mnthewson, Bender, Walsh, Joe
Woods or any star of today. Ho did
everything they do, equally as well,
and he faced more great batters than
the stars are now called upon to meet.
He does not believe the game is any
faster than when he pitched for Bos
ton. He unhesitatingly names Morde
eai Brown as tho game 's greatest pitch
er, and the miner may feel proud at
the compliment, coming as it doos from
a man who many believe is entitled
to the honor hiself.
Two men are named by Nichols as
the greatest players. One is Prank
Chance, who is managing the High
landers this season and the other is
Herman Long, the great Boston short- j
stop.
Nichol's career began in Kansas City j
in 18S7; he was with Memphis and
Kansas City in "1888, and in 1889 with .
Omaha. He went to Boston in 1810 and i
remained until 1902, when ho returned I
to Kansas City, remaining through ,
I'm. In 1904 he was with the St. I
the same team and the Phillies, where .
Xouis Cardinals and the next year with .
lie closed his major league career. I

Manager Bay L. Baker, of the Salem
senators, is making extensive prepara
tions for the excursion to McMinnville
Sunday. As an incentive to those who
sell tickets, he has offered an automo
bile to the train, will eive the winner a
special seat on the train, and at Mc
Minnville there will be another automo
bile ride around the town and a big din
ner. Refreshments on the way home
will also be on the list.
Birdie Croe, the speedy little out-
fielder of the New York team, once
known for his hitting ability, has not
been noticed to any extent by Manacer
Chance during the present championship
race. Last season Birdie was one of
the heaviest sluggers in the American
league, whaling the ball for an aver
age of .322.

DON'T GIVB TJP IF YOU
ABE SENT BACK TO MINORS
Don 't be discouraged if you get sent
back to the minors, said Joe Tinker to
one of the juniors the other day. Al
ways figure it out that you will im
prove with experience, or else that the
n,.n.. i i v ,
manager didn t know how 1 vrt..
manager umn't know how good you
really were that in either event some
big club will surely call you back. .
Correct lots of them have been nol-
ished by an extra session in the minors.
and lots more have shown that the first
manager didn't know a ball plaver
whe.,he saw one. Incidental to this
train of thought: How about Wallv
Smith, whom the Cardinal's sent South f
Everybody in the South savs that
Wally became the best ball player in
fine and he would have shown hiirh
class at St. Louis if worked often
enough to demonstrate.
Ye-ah, they do guess 'em wronir now I
and then. Gavvy was turned back three
or four times, but look at his hitting
now! Gandil and Moeller, ave. and
Foster, too, all of them pretty nifty
cogs in, the great Washington machine,
were turned back as being way below
the fast standard. George McBride
got two or three kicks out of big socie
ty. Jimmy Archer got two or three
boilers with lurid adjectives. Strunk
bobbed in and out and in again. The
Giants condemned Danny Murphy as a
won't-do performer. Jesse Burkett got
the hook from New York only to come
back as a demon batsman. Lots and lots
of 'em the same way. Young man, if
you have confidence and gall, don't
worry when they tell you to pack and
pop away.
Two Fi.jhts in Montana,
Butte, Mont., June 13. Montana

Dillon meet at the Copper City club and

are the first two matches of any im
portance to be staged in Montana since
the passing of the law legalizing box

Miners' Union Day, the biggest holiday
of the year in Butte, and both matches
are expected to draw capacity audi

terday from President Lynch, of tho

No Substitute Could Do This.
No inferior substitute, but only the

and I had spells of dizziness. I took
Foley Kidney Pills and they did the

June 13. Trainer "Bill" Hayward will
lead nine athletes to Portland today to
represent the University of Oreiron in
the annual track and field meet of the
Pacific Northwest Athletic Association
Saturday. Captain Walter McClure,
Olympic distance runner, will not be
one of the delegation.
The reason that Hayward is leaving
McClure behind is that the rangy run
ner has turned out for practice onlv
one night since the conference moot
almost two weeks ago. "Captain or no
captain," says Hayward, "all candi
dates look alike to me." McClure
pleads a badly strained tendon in his
right leg. The Oregon captain has been
out of condition the entire season.
