Many of these 1 happen to know. They were true color, because they were naturals, born with oddities few could believe. Rube Waddell was one of them, one of the greatest of all pitchers ,,.- who would rather go fishing or tend bar (for nothing) than win a ball game. Another was Crazy Schmidt of the old Reds, who carried a smal) notebook in his hip pocket, denoting the weak spots of all opposing hitters. Against Hans Wag- - G. Rice ner'i name he had this one line "A base on balls." That's what Wag-- her got from Schmidt. Bbufflin' Phil Douglas of the Giants Dizzy Dean of the Cards-a- re around the head of the list. Also Flint Rhein, Babe Herman, Bobo Newsom, Germany Schaefer, Shoe- - less Joe Jackson, Arlie Latham-nu- ts, wits and half wits-- but all great ballplayers. Latham was one of the smartest. The list is too long to go into further details. But, one of the leaders In this colorful Held has been overlooked and forgotten. His name is Bugs Raymond, the pitcher John Mc-Gra- w always insisted had the finest pitching motion he ever saw, In-cluding Walter Johnson, who was smooth as the west wind, and as tornadic or cyclonic. Raymond should be right around the top In this human oddity group that in-cludes only stars. I still remember my first meeting with Raymond, some 43 years ago. This happened to be a spring day in Atlanta around the now forgotten era of 1904. Crackers vs. Boston The Atlanta Crackers on that day were to play the world's champion Boston Americans, who, the fall be-fore, had beaten Pittsburgh's great team in the first, but still unofficial world series of 1903. This Boston team, managed by the brilliant Jimmy Collins, one of the greatest infielders of all time, was baseball's sensation. Big Bill n had been a major factor in winning this series from a team that had such stars as Hans Wag-ner, Fred Clarke, Tommy Leach and Kitty Bransfield. Boston, long before any Red Sox appellation, was about a 1 to 40 bet to win champions of the world playing against a strictly bush league outfit. By some odd chance, before start-ing a mile and a half walk to the ball park, I happened to be taking a drink at some wayside bar in preparation for the trip. A heavy hand fell on my shoulder and, as I looked around, there was an unke-mpt- looking fellow, around 200 pounds, who wore no necktie and hadn't shaved in at least two days. Here was the king of all the tramps I'd ever seen. "How about buying me a drink, fellow?" was his opening remark. I bought him a drink. Then I had to buy him another drink. "How do we get out to this ball park?" he asked. "We walk," I said, "if you are going with me." Then a sudden morbid thought hit me. "Isn't your name Raymond?" I asked. "Yes," he said. "Bugs Raymond." ,S7;s Out the Champs "Do you happen to know," I sug-gested, "that you are pitching today against the Boston Americans, the world champions?" "I never heard of 'em," Raymond said. "Where's Boston?" On the walk to the ball park that afternoon. Bugs spent most of the trek throwing rocks at pigeons, tele-graph poles and any target in sight. People I had known in Atlanta gave me an odd look after taking a brief glance at my unshaven, rough and rowdy-lookin- g compan-ion. Knowing what would happen later, I wasn't bothered about any social check-up- . Raymond started the game by in-sulting Jimmy Collins, Freddy Par-ent George LaChance and every star on the Boston team. He would walk from the pitcher's box up to-wards the plate and let them know, in forcible and smoking language, what he thought they all were. What the Boston Americans, the world's champions, didn't know, and what I didn't know, or anyone else, was this: They were facing one of the greatest spit-ba- ll pitchers and one of the greatest natural pitchers of all time if you could only keep sober, which even Mc-Gra-ninl ,,e-tliir- d couldn't. Not even with four bodyguards. Raymond had speed, curves, control-pl- us an Ed Walsh spitter. But on this particular occasion, Raymond shut out the world's champions. 3 to 0, and allowed them just three scratch singles. As we faintly recall the hazy details. Rav mond had 11 strikeouts. -- Even half sober," McGraw told "Raymond would have me once. been one of the greatest." Fourth Set of Twins Born To Wife of N. Y. Mailman NEW YORK The stork has a habit of ringing twice for this postman and his wife The fourth set of twins was born to Mrs. Charles Cummo, 34, and her letter carrier husband, who said: "I guess I'll have to buy a farm." The first set of twins died, but the Cummo family numbers three singletons for a total of nine living children. It's an old story to d Annette Marie, eldest child, who summed up the arrival of her two new lifters in a shout to a parsing friend "Marilyn, more babies." The Cummos have been mar-ried 10 years. lEKS IN HANDCEAFX . . .

ZURICH The medical staff of Zurich university clinic was stunned! at the sight of a man who calls him-self a "miracle" running around with a thin spear through his body, piercing vital organs. "I am always invulnerable, be-cause I am subconsciously con-vinced I do not exist at all," said! Arnold Gerrit Johannes Henskes, the self-style- miracle man. Henskes, a Dutch advertising man, had an assistant run him through with a long, thin needlelike spear which pierced his liver mid one kidney. He didn't blink an eye. While Prof. Alfred Hrunner and his staff stared, Henskes ran up and down a (light of steps the spear point sticking out of his back. y pictures showed the needle actually had pierced Henskes' or-gans, but Dr. Brunner remained skeptical. it is certainly an uncommon phenomenon, but no miracle," ha said. "I believe the apparent In-vulnerability of this man is due to the fact that the instrument is something like a big needle round, very sharp and extremely thin. "Such an instrument could per-haps pierce the liver, lungs or kid-neys without lethal cITect. There is hardly any danger of infection, as any bacteria clinging to the smooth surface of the weapon would be brushed oil when it enters the body." Henskes, however, was jubilant with the experiment. He said he had made it many times before, but never in the presence of medical men. He appeared in good shape. When the spear was drawn, he lost only a few drops of blood. "I just don't exist," he said happily. llBal lib JS BBHmBbSIw B B lMwisB THERE, WE DID IT AGAIN . . .

AVIATION NOTES Airport Chatter More than 1,000 private plane? will converge upon University ol Illinois airport at Urbana-Cham-paig- n August 4 when the Flying Farmers of Prairie Farmer Land gather for two days of meetings and demonstrations of agricultural and flying equipment. Governors of Illi-nois. Indiana, Wisconsin and Michi-gan, the area covered by the organ ization, have been invited. Crop dusting demonstrations with a heli-copter are scheduled as one of the convention features. . .

A long hotel strike in Phoenix, Ariz., took a new twist when the hotel management used a helicopter to deliver food and beverages over picket lines. Flying Eggbeater Several distinctions are claimed for the unique commuter service offered by a helicopter, which oper-ates between Boston's Logan air-port and the roof of a downtown garage. The flying eggbeater, as the plane is known, is the only helicopter in scheduled passenger service in the world; is the only one landing regu-larly on a roof of a building; it flies on the shortest airline route in the world; it charges the highest rate per mile, and it flies at the slowest speed of any scheduled passenger plane. The distance is about two miles as the crow flies, and its mechanical cousin, the helicopter, flies. Consid-ering that the fare is $3.50, tax passengers are paying at the rate of $1.75 per mile. But the purpose of the helicopter service is not to save money or to go fast but to save time. Another First The nation's first aerial cleaning service is operated by Wayne L.

Self-Taug- ht 'Doctor,' 23, Accused After Operation DKTROIT. - A high school student who "learned about medicine by reading" was accused of performing an emergency appen-dicitis operation in a Detroit hos-pital for $12o. Police also charged Theodore Cole Jr., junior at Cnss technical high school, with prescribing medi-cines and drugs and practicing with-out a license. Edward J. McDonnell, board of health officer, said Cole assisted in an operation on Mrs. Agnes Brown in Wayne Diagnostic hospital last September 21 and received $125 for his efforts. McDonnell said Cole signed hos-pital charts ordering that Mrs. Brown be given sulfa drugs and that penicillin treatments be discontin-ued. The prosecutor's office reported that Mrs. Brown recovered fully from the operation. Cole passed as a doctor by show- - ing printed letterheads and listing his name with the title of "Dr." in the telephone directory, McDonnell said. Cole's name also was listed in a directory of physicians prepared from telephone book listings and distributed to hospitals. listens to All dative Wrangle i Out One Yelp N'AP0LIS. MD.
