BASEBALL
HE HAS A LAME Arm
But Big Jack Katoll Is Still Able
to Fool the Opposing
Batters.
German Goes In When Game Is Lost
and Pitches Gilt Edged
Ball.

II Manager Wilmot would play the
pitchers who are fright on the bench
and use those with sore arms on the
slab, he might do better than he is doing
now. At least that is the conclusion forced
by the performance Of Jack katol In the
last three innings Of yesterdays game. It
is respectively suggested to Wilmot that
vasbinder who is reputed to have the
.amest arm in the miller pitching staff.
with the exceptions of Katol, might DO
able to win game.
E Sporer started in to send them over
for the millers and Lefty delivered the
goods for two rounds. Knoll tr1pled In
the second. with only out. but fast
fielding retired him at the plate on Lee
wees swat. and Lefty emerged with his
record clean. In the third, however, with
Vtwo down and Maloney roosting at Vas
binders way station, Nance and Grady
walloped the leather for keeps, and Cy
Vasbinder declined on hard one from
Rothfuss bat Net result. three runs.
The fans knew that Lefty due to
have one bad inning In every game, and
they figured that with this round past,
all things would be we'll. In the fourth a
single and Martins bobble allowed the
cowboys to occupy the first and third
roadhouses before any outs were recorded,
but Yeager caught McAndrews at second.
and Lefty retired the next two batters,
pitching himself out Of bad hole
The mlllers were not hitting Mcdonald
enough to cause heart failure to any of
the fans. but the faithful remembered
the eighth inning batting rally in Wednes-
days game and took heart If Lefty had
stayed down on earth all might have been
well, but in the fifth round Willyum
Nance and Michael Angelo Grady started
more trouble. With Maloney at first by
virtue Of pass. Nance clouted the bali
for two. and Grady. whose bite. contrary
to the proverb, is worse than his bark
swatted for one. At this point :Wilmot
galloped in from right garden and more
In sorrow than in anger threw blanket
over Sporer and led Thomas from the
stable. Thomas lasted just round and
half. and Katoll was called upon to
trot the remaining heats.
Ihe Dig German got a generous hand
when he appeared on the track, and he
aroused half a dozen other demonstra-
tions before the seance was ended. In the
three rounds ten men faced him. One hit
safely, the others We're retired as fast as
lney came up. In addition to this gilt
edged pitching. Katoll clouted out two
clean hits out of two times at bat
In spite Of the splendid exhibition given
pY katoll, it was apparent that the story
about his lame arm was no stage lest,
He had but 1.-THE of his former speed.
and he threw them over with visible Of
tort. But evidently Katoll, with a lame
arm. is better than most pitchers with
sound members. 1t is to be hoped that
g Jack will be able to take his regular t,,rn
IN the box from now, on
Inc m1llers loosened up on Mcdonald
IN two or three rounds as if they intended
to drive him to the woods b,,t for son,e
