COMPARING PITCHERS
RUsIE AND MATHEWS0N.

NEW YORK. January 4--George Davis,
the crack shortstop of the Chicago Ameri-
cans. and Clark Griffith INDUCED in an
argument yesterday at local American
League headquarters as to who, In their
opinion, was the best pitcher they had ever
seen on the professional diamond. 1T is a
toss-up between Rusie and Mathewson,"
said Davis Both have excelled all other
boxmen. l have never batted against Matty
in game, but I have met his curves in
practice and want to say that he has just
as good control of the ball as Rusie. Mat
tvs most effective ball Is straight drop,
but his speed is great factor as well as a
wonderfully controlled slow ball He uses
his forearm and elbow and winds up In such
a manner that a batsman Is sure to be
puzzled Rusie, on the other hand, de-
pended on an out drop, which he controlled
with remarkable skill, in addition to his
fast ball; but he had very little preliminary
motion and used his shoulder almost exclu-
sively. Rusie possibly had the better
physique. but in head work and vitality he
never outclassed Mathewson." Griffith,
while admitting that he had never batted
Mathewson's curves, declared that he had
seen him pitch often and that he had form
ed the opinion some time ago that Rusie in
his prime the best twirler that ever
stepped into the box His curves speed
and control were the best assortment I ever
looked at declared Griff. land no pitcher
has ever approached him in class since he
made his record in the base ball world"

CHASE LED BATTING
IN PACIFIC LEAGUE.

NEW YORK. January 4.-Hal Chase the
Americans. has put In a part of the Amer
Pacific Coast League.
The batting of this young player was
easily the best done In that league, which
just recently finished its schedule Like
Jimmy Ryan. Chase furnished base ball
paradox in player who threw with his
left hand. but batted on the right side OF
the plate.
Clarke Griffith manager of the Highland
ers. was anxious for Chase to try left
handed batting last year. but feared to
have him make the change in the Ameri-
can League. as 1t was Chase's first sea-
son In fast company and so important a
change might disconcert him. He advised
Chase. however. to join California team
when he returned to his home after the
American League season closed
Chase has tried his hand as a port-side
ciubber, and soon found that he could welt
the ball Just as well with the right hand.
while his average increased through his
ability to beat out more hunts.
Next season. when Chase joins New York,
he will bat ft-handed, and Clarke Griffith
confidently expects that he will press Har-
ry Davis for the honor of being the best
first-sacker In the American League
Chase has all the natural qualifications
for q star bail-tosser. He is lightning fast
on his feet. and gets started quickly. He
uses good Judgment In base running, and
can hit the ball hard. He covers q great
deal Of ground at first. and often picks
