out enough runs chalked up to make the
score good and plenty" OF course, it
would have been hard on Mercer to pull
him out Of the box last Tuesday, but 1t
would have been base ball, and no one
would have thought the less of Mercer
ability. A lead Of three or four runs is not
a very bad one, but when it comes down to a
lead of eight or ten, the task of overcom-
ing such a handicap seems unsurmount-
able. Several pitchers of known ability
have asked to be taken out having the
clubs interest at heart, under a heavy fire
from the opposing club, but the hope that
the tide will turn and the batting streak
cease has led many captains to allow
pitcher 10 stay in the box until the game is
lost This idea of pulling a pitcher out of
the box was one of Wards brightest, and
it's wonder it has not been copied more
extensively.

ever, and Wefers was eligible to compete

which runs for four years.
