100000 FREIGHT
CARS ARE idle
(By United Press Leased Wire. J

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
CHICAGO, Jan. RAILROAD
men today are figuring a percent
age of loss accruing to their lines
through the slump of the recent
prosperity boom that began after
the election of Taft and Sherman.
Arthur Hale, chairman of the
car efficiency committee of the
American Railway association, de-
clared that at least 100000 cars
were idle throughout the coun-
try.
The loss to the companies fol-
lowed the expense of preparing
these cars for business that did
not materialize.
A strange part of the situation
is that while freight traffic is at
low ebb, the passenger business is
satisfactory.

ADDIE 1855 9L,s

There is nothing so hard on a
pitcher, especially on a hot day, as
to have the opposing players make
him pitch the limit to every batter.
By this I mean not hitting at
the first ball offered. Instead the
man at bat takes one or two
strikes, and by so doing, makes
the twirler go the limit to get
him.
This applies especially when the
game is close and the pitcher is
obliged to go at top speed all the
way to land a victory.
It's an old rule among the play
ers that on a day of this kind the
best way to "get" the pitcher is
to make him pitch This accounts
for the fact that SO often the spec
tators see the man at bat take
one or two strikes without offer
ing to hit.
At first glance this seems almost
suicidal for the club at bal, but
where it is kept up all day it can
be seen that in the end it more
than pays.
1t is a pretty tough job for any
pitcher to stand on the rubber for
nine long innings and be forced to
pitch hard to every batter that
steps to the plate.
Work of this kind Is bound to
tell and nine times out of ten the
twirler, when forced to go the
limit all day, will show signs of
weakening before the game is
over.
Probably the one great reason
why more pitchers do not lose
games on account of this fact is
because the rest of the players are
also affected by the heat, and in
the closing innings of the game
are not as strong and full of life
as early in the game.
Many times during the season
the pitcher begins to wobble along
about the seventh inning, and the
only reason he gets "by" is be-
cause the opposing players are call
IN also.
/ In cases of this kind about all
the pitcher can do is to hand them
over and trust to luck and his sup
port to pull him through.
Another fine way to put a pitch
er "all In" on a hot day, especially
IL he be a little portly, is to have
a few fast men lay down some
hunts.
i 1t doesn't do twirler a bit OF
good to be forced to chase over to
the third base line a couple OF
times in an inning as fast he can
go and handle few of these lit
tie rollers.
It's a tough enough job for the
pitcher to go through a close game
on a hot day without being forced
to handle lot OF hunts, but whom
the opposition Is also making him
pitch the limit all the way, IT. gets
doubly hard.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1909-01-07


times, 1t is almost impossible for
the catcher to handle the delivery.
! For some reason, the pitchers
who use the "spitter" are unable
to tell exactly where the ball is
going to break or how much of
a shoot it will take.
One time the ball will break
out, another time the sphere takes
an inward shoot, but most of the
time it breaks down, just like a
drop curve.
The queer pranks are the
bane OF every catcher. Ches-
bros wild pitch at New York,
which gave Boston the American
league championship a few sea-
sons ago, caused by a splitter
getting away from the big fellows
control, has already been made
famous.
Buck" Orth, who until the
middle of last season, served up
"suit hall" slants and shoots for
the Highlanders, nearly put Harry
Bay out of the business one day
during 1906.
Buck" had splitter" that
breaks like an outcurve, only a
good deal faster. Bay, who
crowds the plate when hitting, and
who grasps the bat with hands
spread apart, swung hard on one
of Orth's offerings.
The ball, instead of going
where Harry thought 1t would,
took one of those crazy shoots
towards Bay and struck him on
the forefinger of his left hand.
Naturally, the ball did not
travel very far, just going over
Orth's head and SO slow that II

SCRATCHING IN LYON.

The following extracts from the
editorial columns Of the Lyon County
Times would indicate prospects OF
considerable scratching in that baili-
wick:
1T Is disgusting and contemplate
10 see a few Democrats for revenue
only, going about now saying all
manner of mean things about the
present Democratic nominees. Some
of these boiling Democrats have held
office in this county until their heads
have grown gray and now, when the
people decide to retire them (for
they would never retire Voluntarily
they now feel called upon to destroy
the very same party organization
that honored them in the past"
Some of the boiling Democrats
say Sike Hodges has not got the
ability to perform the duties OF coun-
ty attorney. After electing Walter
Krone to the Office of county attor-
ney, it does not seem like am, one
ought to question Hodges ability.
There has been no ability connected
with the county attorneys Office for
four years This being the case we
are in a fair way to make an i'm
provement."
The graft that a few boiling Dem
oerats have been getting out OF the
county under the present administra-
ton has been corrupt and diaboli-
CAL"
ut is a pity that the phrase law
and order should be solled by it, use
under the tongue of such corrupt
ingrates md turncoats."
What should honest people think
Of Democrat who makes a race in a
primary and then refuses to vote for
the nominees? Such a thing Is al
most unspeaiiable. Yet we have some
Of this very class here in Lyon?"
