BABE ADAMS HAS
NOTABLE CAREER
FORTY-THREE YEARS OLD AND
STILL A PREMIER BASE
BALL PLAYER.
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 12. (/^—Six
teen year ago, on a cold October day,
there came into everlasting baseball
fame a bulky Missouri ploughman,
for the moment one-of the great
moundmen of the day—Charles
(Babe) Adams.
Detroit had won the American
League pennant that year, 1910, and
Pittsburgh the National, but the Pi
rates’ pitching staff had crumped at
the last—with one exception. Adams,
a first year man, had won two games j
and stood on the mound at Detroit
i in the final struggle, facing another
famous righthander of that day—the
late “Wild Bill” Donovan, -who was
killed in the Twentieth Century
Limited wreck while on his way to
attend the baseball league meetings
in 1923.
With Detroit was the great Tyrus
Raymond Cobb of Georgia, still great
after 20 years; the powerful Sam
Crawford and a string of other dan- J
gerous batsmen. But Adams carried ,
, the series and the world’s champion
ship to Pittsburgh by permitting only
i six hits, materially aided by low-leg
ged, fighting Hans Wagner who seem
ed to be everywhere at once. Pitts
burgh scored eight runs for a decis
ive conquest in this seventh and final
game.
Today '•Babe Adams, now 43 years
old, stands ready to pitch his heart
out for another Pittsburgh triumph
in world’s series combat and the sen
timent of the Pirate fans very likely
will draw him into action in at least
one of the games. His arm has not
the stamina of old but his courage
and skill remain.
Babe has had a notable career.
Born in Tipton, Ind., in 1882, he went
with his father to Mt. Moriah, Mo.,
in early life. His father was a tiller
of the soil and so was Babe until his
work as pitcher for his home town
Haymakers came to notice. The Par
sons team of the Missouri Valley
League picked him up in 1905 and he
won 30 out of 40 games enough to
attract the attention of the St. Louis
Cardinals. After spending halt of
the season on a St. Louis bench he
was sent to Louisville and thence to
Denver. In the Colorad > capital he
became a hero, witn 38 victories out
of 50 games, and Pittsburgh snatch
ed him away for a short trial in 1908.
Then again he went to Louisville and
pitched so well that he came back to
the Pirates to stay.
After his remarkable work in the
world series of 1909, Aclams remain
ed for a long time in Pittsburgh, but
finally failed in 1917 and departed for
the lower leagues. But he pitched
remaikable ball for Hutchinson of
the Western and Kansas City offer
ed him an oppo* unity. I' was the
road oacl: to fame, a roal few ma
jor leaguers have traveled. The vet
eian conquered Columous twice in
the season of 1918, allowing one hit
each time, to show he wra? back in
form.
The latter part of the season, saw
him return to the Pirate fold and re
main there. In his career in the ma
jors he has pilcntji in 2,476 innings,
equal to 275 full games. This sea
son he has participated in the cred
it for a dozen contests, winning as
many as he has lost.
Richard Watson of Chicago is be
ing sued for spilling beer on Thomas
Kelley’s trousers, which he borrowed
to wear to a funeral.
Florence Ellersby, 22, made the
mistake of trying to pick the pocket
of the chief of police at Leeds, Eng.,
and was taken to jail.
Citizens of Pueblo, Col., made up
a purse of $150 for Mike Edwards,
75-year-old tramp, who had been
sentenced for vagrancy.
.Miss Catherine O’Neill of Chicago
had the tip of a finger bitten off by
a monkey she was feeding at Lincoln
Park. _ - , ? •'
