The attempt to claim the credit for
bringing the oe-Mortimer Co. to Bel
fast can only mislead those who are ig-
norant of the facts, or who wish to be
deceived. This company came to the
conclusion some time ago that plant in
Maine was needed for their increasing
business in this section, and they had in
mind at one time location in different
part Of the State, but found on investi-
cation that it was not accessible by
water during several months of the year.
1t was then decided to look elsewhere.
Meanwhile, and for the past two wears.
Mr.. A. B. Stantial of this city, one of
the firms Maine representatives, had been
urging the claims Of Belfast, in which he
was seconded by Mr.. E. A. Carpenter of
Brooks, also an agent of the company,
and by Mr.. Fred S. Jackson of jackson
4 Hall, who handle the fertilizer. The
representations of Mr.. Stantial finally
resulted in an officer of the company
coming to Belfast, and after looking the
ground over here, and making like
visit to Searsport, it was practically de-
'scided to locate in Belfast if satisfactory
freight rates could be secured over the
Maine Central to Aroostook county, and
a lot of land for the proposed factory
was bonded. Not until this stage was
reached was the matter presented to the
city authorities. When the final decision
was made to locate here, Mr.. jackson,

There is better trade in the shoe market

Cleman from Ellensburg high school.
Cleman was safeguard on the varsity
football team. but his chief asset is
his baseball playing. He was last
year reputed to be the best high
school pitcher in the state and Whit
man fans are looking for him to do
some great work for the Missionaries
this spring. Hoke, a freshman from
Chehalis is another strong infield man
who has had lots of experience and
who is looked upon to make good this
Whitman will suffer greatly from
the loss of Schmidt, the Missionary
gackstop who played such good ball
last year. Schmidt graduated in June
and his loss will be severely felt. Raj
staad, an understudy of Schmidt's last
year will probably be developed for
the varsity this season.
All in all the baseball outlook is
briught and Whitman fans are hop
ing for some good games in the
spring. Whitman will play eight col
lege games at home this season and
eight more will be played on foreign
territory. This is by far the largest
baseball schedule of college games
that Whitman has ever had, and this
gives Coach Blanchard and Captain
Shubert all the more desire to turn
out a winning team.

10th Century Pitchers
Need Help of Catchers

throw a ball hard. He just losses
them. He just studies himself. He
knows what it is to be right and how
to keep right.
You will find that it is no easy
matter for a manager to pick out his
man to work in game. His pitchers
will claim they have everything when
they have nothing. He is lucky. in
deed, if he happens to hit on the man
who really has something. 1t seems
funny enough that a man should be
seemingly in the best of shape when
he warns up before the game, and
have everything leave him when the
contest commences, sho that he does
not know where he is at.
Lack of Right Catchers.
One of the reasons that pitchers
are not more effective than is the
case is that the catchers do not study
their man enough. They should give
more attention to the pitchers they
handle than to the batsmen of the
opposing side. Some think that all
that is necessary is to work on the
batsman, while it is highly necessary

not do to handle all pitchers alike.
1t is necessary to find out if the fast
bail of one man is as effective as
that of another, or if the curve bali
Of one is as battling as that of an
other Some catchers act as if they
imagined all they were in the game
for was t oreceive and throw and
rim after fOuI halls
When l first started in to play ball
the catcher did not have the work to
do he has today. He had only two
or three pitchers at the outside to
handle now he is lucky. indeed, If
he has less than a dozen, and the
numbers seems to be growing each
season. Now no two pitchers are
alike, and no two pitchers have the
same kind of ball. One always has
something the other chap has not.
Now there are few pitchers who
can stand the gaff. Look at the num-
Der of them who start the season,
and see how many there are who de-
velop during season. Look the
lists over in the champion teams of
the two big leagues-you find no
phenomenons used by Manager Jen-
nings He had to rely on old mater
ial, while on the corps of the Pitts
burg team Adams alone proved
star.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1909-12-13
Bv Jack Chesbro.

Managers who tax the arm of a
young pitcher too much must be
crazy. Yet so anxious are they to
win games for their club that they
do it, They take fearful chances.
They really do not care whether the
young star goes to the wall or not,
them.
So ambitious are they to. make
showing that if they number fine
young pitcher in their roster they will
make use of him at every available
opportunity. If the young man is
robust and strong he is not so liable
to go to pieces as lighter man, but
it is taking chances at that.
know of a young pitcher who did
not weight more than 145 pounds and
had snap delivery who was worked
under all kinds of conditions, and it
was a wonder to me he did not go to
pieces If he ever caught cold in his
arm working under such conditions
the chances are his arm would be
gone forever Two games week is
plenty and sometimes more than
enough for such a light young
pitcher
1t is a shame to work him. He
ought to be nursed as much as pos
sible his first year. He has not the
strength, the power or the physical
resistance to keep up he pace. There
are some pitchers who can go in
about any old time and make show
ing-men like Ed Walsh of the Chi
chago White Sox, Frank Smith, "Cy''
Young or Jack Powell, but look at
em-they are giants and they are
veterans.
Some pitchers are regular gluttons
they seem unable to get too much
work. They can go every other day
without the least trouble. Look at
that wonder, Walsh-he never pitch
ed a better ball in his life than last
year, when he pitched in 65 games,
which is far more than double as
many games as most Of the pitchers
work nowadays.
The other extreme is man of the
type of Joe Doyle Of the New York
Americans. He wants from eight to
ten days between the games in which
he works He is slow chap, any
how He claims that his arm needs
rest. He is one Of the greatest pitch
ers there is. You never see him
