SPORT
Necdham, Cubs' Veteran
Catcher, Who Is to Quit.
Pnoto by American Press Association.
Tom Noedham, tho veteran catcher
of tho Chicago Nationals, has intimat
ed to a few close friends that he In
tends to quit the game at the end of
the season. Keedham Is one of tho old
est catchers In harness today. While
not n star of the flrst water, he has
always put up a creditable game be
hind the bat. For tho past two years
he has been a member of the Cubs and
has been used as second string catcher.
Bike Riders on Long Tour.
Arrangements have been made for
a world's tour for ten of tho leading
American cyclists immediately after
the finish of the New York sis day
race in December. Floyd McFarland,
Jackie Clarke, Iver Lawson, Joo Fog
ler, Al Goulott, Paddy Van Ilehlr, El
mer Collins, Jimmy Moran, Willlo
Fenn and Eddie Root will leave for
Berlin, where tho flrst raco on tho
world's tour will take place during
Christmas week. Tho raco will bo a
els day affair, and nfter tho contest
In that German capital thero will be a
week of sprint racing.
From Berlin tho riders will go to
Sydney, Australia, whero they will en
gage in another sis day grind in Feb
ruary. After n fortnight's rest tho

cyclists will remain until its close, re
turning to this country about May 1,
1012, for the season here.
This is tho biggest trip over planned
for the riders, and they have been
guaranteed a handsome sum.
Record Time For Double Header.
Rochester and Newark played two
full games recently in two hours and
thirty-two minutes. Tho second game,
in which ten runs were scored, was
completed In one hour and seven min
utes. This is believed to be a record for a
doublo header, whilo the second game
is believed to bo a record for a contest
In which ten runs were scored. Roch
ester won both games, 3 to 2 and 0 to 1,
so that each went eight and one-half
innings.
No Changes In Football Rules.
Thero will bo but one minor change
in tho football rules for tho season of
1011, according to Walter Camp, Yale's
athletic adviser and chairman of the
intercollegiate football rules commit
tee. Camp said recently that the pen
alty for the incompleted forward pass
would bo lightened, tho ball being
brought back to tho point whero it was
put In play instead of where it left the
hand of the passer, as was tho case In
1010.
Here's a Real Baseball Record.
P. Cassldy, Denver's right fielder,
has established a record for continu
ous games In Class A baseball. Cas
slday is rounding out his fifth year
with the Denver club without mlsslns
a single game through sickness, injury
or other cause, no has played more
than 700 successlvo games. Cnssldy

ican Icaguo team and with tho Pitts

sing, tho fleet footed former New York
A. O. middle distance runner, who is
touring foreign countries, will not
como back for a couplo of years, no
has been offered a position to coach
members of the Berliner Sport club
of Berlin, Germany, a batch of nth
lotos who are to represent Kaiser Wll
helm's domain in next year's Olympic
games.

CALLAHAN ONE
WHO CAME BASK
After Six Year Layoff Ouifisldor
Puis Up Great Game,
PLAYS BALL FOR FUN OF IT.
Worth a Fortune, ts an Actcr and
Politician In Chicago, but Loves
Baseball Quit Job as Plumber's
Helper to Break Into Pastime.
While carrying a bathtub on the back
of his neck and drawing $4.50 a week
for tho same Jimmy Callahan sat down
on the curbstone In the outskirts of
Fitchburg, Mass., one hot afternoon,
and his youthful brow began to wrin
kle with thought waves.
Across the street ho saw a cluster of
ball players climbing Into a bus. A
newspaper near at hand informed the
young plumber's apprentico that those
fellows were getting $150 a month for
busting a baseball In the eye nnd thou
had the rest of tho day off. For a half
hour Jimmy grappled with this prob
lem and then, with a sigh, picked up
his bathtub and moved on. By tho
timo ho had arrived at his destination
young Callahan, who In those days
was called "Nlsy," threw down tho
bathtub nnd threw up his Job.
As a result of that desperate move
on the part of Jimmy, though still a
plumber at heart, ho is today the own
er of a ball park In Chicago, is a polit
ical leader of great popularity, is an
actor a good ono at that during tho
oil months, has a stocking full of gold
laid away in the safe, is back with the
White Sos after a six years' absence
and Is one of the leading hitters of the
American league. With all that ho Is
ono of tho most popular ball players
that ever blistered an umpire.
"This coming back stuff is no won
derful thing," explained Callahan re
cently. "I never abused myself by
drinking or excessive smoking, and
whilo I was out of tho big league I
was playing ball onco every week with
the semlpro teams around Chicago)
When I started in this year I didn't
have to take oft weight"
Callahan Is simply a born ball player
and can't get away from it. For years
ho was a star pitcher, and when his
arm began to grow weak ho proved
his versatility by going to tho outfield
and becoming a star there. After six
years' absence ho is today hitting .330.
Jimmy Callahan has a very keen
senso'of humor, which accounts for his
success as a monologist. Ho delights
to tell of tho day when he packed up
his things In Fitchburg and started
for Philadelphia to become a big
leaguo pitcher. That was in 1894, sev
enteen years ago last June. After
throwing up his Job of carrying bath
tubs Callahan played regularly with a
team at FItctiburg and was known far
and wide as a coming pitcher. Finally
Arthur Irwin, who wns managing tho
Philadelphia club, heard of tho young
ster and offered him a Job.
Tho flrst thing Jimmy did before
starting was to send on his photo
graph to Philadelphia, thinking tho
wholo town would bo interested. He
then packed his belongings ono shirt,
two pairs of socks, two collars and a
baseball glove into a little blue klcs
ter. Get that "klestor?" Well, a kies
ter is composed of two papier mache
sides, something llko an old fashioned
telescope. Tho clothes are put In be
tween them, and then a leather strap
binds them together.
This blue kiester was tho pride of
Callahan's heart, and with buoyant
spirits he got off tho train In Philadel
phia. By somo strange mishap there
was no crowd at tho depot to meet the
new pitcher, and Jimmy was keenly
disappointed. Ho couldn't understand
it any moro than bo could tho fact
that his picture had not appeared in
any of the newspapers. This he blamed
on tho malls.
Nursing his disappointment ns best
ho could and shouldering his kiester,
Jimmy went to the hotel and regis
tered, which was quite an important
formality. After finishing his signa
ture with a flourish he turned the reg
ister around so that tho clerk could see
it plainly. Callahan then swelled out
his chest nnd waited for tho shock to
tho poor clerk. Again there was a pang
of disappointment. The young man hud
never heard of him, and to add insult
to injury tho clerk looked him squarely
In tho cyo and said, "It will bo 3 in
advance, ns you have no baggage."
This was another blow to Jimmy as
well as his kiester, but ho paid his last
three bucks, took the room, and said
nothing. "After gazing around at the
other players' neat suit capes I began
to got ashamed of my kiester.
"Out of $23 advance money which
the manager gave mo I paid the maid
a dollar to take that kiester and burn
it up. With $10 of my funds I paid
tho flrst installment on a diamond stud,
and then I was a big leaguer."
Jimmy forgot to say that ho flrst ap
peared in a $OS0 bluo serge suit Just
off tho dummy, which blew out of
shape in tho flrst big wind, and he
couldn't get it on again.
In duo timo Callahan got his first
trial, and ho plowed through the
leaguo from tho start.
Tho only reason for Callahan quit
ting tho game sis years ago wns that
ho wonted to make money. Now that
ho has made it he says bo wants to re
main on the diamond until they cot
the uniform from hip back.
What's the Matter With Thomas?
Thero are some names which seem
peculiarly suited to royalty; Lxmls, for
instance, has a kingly sound. Francis.
George, Henry in both spellings.
Charles, William, Edward nnd James
all havo served their turn. Johns there
bavo been, and Stephens. I remember
a Robert in Sicily and a Peter In Rus
sia and Scrvta. Frederick has often
worn tho crown, nnd royal honors aro
even now paid to Ferdinand in Bul
garia. But was there ever, anywhere,
a king named Thomas? Oscars and
even Haakcns ascend the dais, but
ever through all tho centuries Thomas
remains tho subject, sometimes strug
gling up to a bishopric or an earldom,
but never attaining tho crown. Nicho
lases wear the Imperial purple; God
freys lord It over Jerusalem; Alexis
struts in ermine; Alexanders faro forth
to conquest; Julius and Loo don tho
trlplo crown, but Thomas, poor plebeian
Thomas, has never a crown to his
namo. Now tell me, you who aro wise
in the occult Influence of names, what
Is tho mattpr with Tom? London
Idler
Washington as a Humorist.
Whilo president Washington's humor
Boomed to And expression In the diplo
macy of self protection. A French
revolutionist camo to him for a geucral
testimonial, which Washington did not
care to grant, yet ho did not wish to
glvo offense to tho French by a curt
refusal, so ho wrote an evaslvo enrd
worthy of Lincoln "C. Volncy needs
no recommendation from G. Washing
tan." After Cornwalll3' surrender at York
town Washington treated him with
high consideration. At a dinner given
In honor of the distinguished prisoner
Rocbambeau proposed "Tho United
States" ns his toast; Washington re
sponded with "Tho king of France;"
Cornwallls, perforce, faintly suggested
"His majesty," when Washington
startled them all by announcing. "The
king of England may ho stay there!"
with a ready wit that mado even Corn
wallls laugh. Century.
Paradoxical.
"All this time the cashier was burn
ing the candle at both ends."
