For Sunday Games Between
Fairmont and Clarksburg.
Union Park Better.

The management of the Clarksbure
team has been unable to secure Fair.
mont to play at League Park for the
coming Sunday Clarksburg has
three games with Fairmont yet to be
played that are scheduled for Fair
mont or rather as they are Sunday
games to be played at Traction Park
six miles east of Fairmont.
The old time rivalry between
Clarksburg and Fairmont has died
off greatly and the situation is such
that no one will go over from Clarks-
burg to see the game and hardly any
will come from Falrmont. BY shift
ing the three games here a large Sun,
day crowd would have been accom-
modated and Clarksburg and Fair
mont would have both realized more
money on the proposition.
All efforts to get the games trans
ferred here have been of no avail and
they will be played at Traction park
as scheduled, though 1t looks to 4
man UP a tree as the arrangement IA
play them in Clarksburg would have
been much the better for both teams

FOOL BATSMAN
SAYS CUB STAR
Give Him the Ball He is MOI
Looking for, is the
Secret.

BROOKLYN, N. Y, June 12-
"Feint the batsman into expecting a
certain ball, then give him something
else"
That is Mordecai Browns explains
ton of his success as pitcher, and
his advice to all youngsters breaking
into the game and who aspire to be-
come great twirlers.
Almost every young pitcher thai
breaks into the big leagues possesses
everything in the way of speed, curves
and change OF place and other styles
oof delivery that the old timers have
says the Cubs idol, but the man
with the greatest speed and the best
breaking curves often get an awful
humping. Those are invaluable as.
sets, of course. but the whole plan
must be to out guess the opposing
batter. If you do, he hasn't
chance; If you don't. then you
haven't.
zone day when I was pitching
against a certain club 1 had my curve
ball breaking fine. struck out one
of the best batsmen on the club.
When he went to the bench he told
his manager that he famed on a
curve ball that didn't break.
There was a degree of truth In
that remark. Every slab artist must
know his opposing batsman. They
differ greatly and to cross them is the
whole purpose in life of the pitcher
So vary the degree OF your curves
That is what did to that batter who
struck out on a curve ball that didn't
break shot him one Of those big
benders and little later handed him
another curve, only this time the
break was very small. He looked for
a wide curve and it wasn't there. so
he missed II"
