MATHEWs0N'S IDEAS ON
TIE ART OF PITCHING
BY "chrIsty" Matthewson.

THE proportions of qualities
needed for good pitching are
; about as follows: Fifty per
cent. control, 80 per cent. luck,
10 per cent. speed, 10 per cent.
; curve.
; "All the speed, the fast jumps,
the cross-fres, the spit balls, the
big curves and the head are
worth nothing unless a pitcher
: has control.
"The most disheartenlng
thing In the world for a young
; pitcher is for the team to fail
to hit behind him. That has
broken the heart of more new
, comers than any other one
, thing.
"The team has never been
lucky enough to hit we'll behind
Marquard, and that Is largely
: responsible for his failure to
get a good start. He has every
thing that goes to make a good
|, pitcher. Let them get a few
; runs ahead for him and see
what he will do. He needs con
J fidence.
"The most puzzling thing in
: the pitching business is how
man can go In without any
} thing and win his game.

.ne state little while some one told
nim about Brother Jones Old mule
uown in Audrain county. He went
.here and investigated and came back
nome with a smile upon his lace.
ihen he began telling the people
ABOUT the four-footed patriarch in this
way:
Brother Jim Jones was Method
ISL OF the old school; always at his
pace in church, ready to shout, sing
or pray with the best of them. He
was always honest with his neighbors
and his God. Among his stock was
oid Bill CIpw, a black mule, nearly
third of I century old. His serv-
Ice had been almost as long as his
years. One morning Brother Jones
hltched Bill Grow up to the plow and
started across the field.
Git APT said Brother Jones.
Bill Grow didn't move. He just
turned his head and looked kinder
mournful like at his boss. and then
lay down. His working days were
over Brother Jones saw that, be-
cause it was the first time Bill Crow
mad ever refused to move when COM
manded. He went up and looked into
the mules eyes and saw tears in them.
he knew Bill Grow had done the best
he could, and that he hated to quit.
lhere was no help for 1t, and so he
turned the mule out in the woods to
die.
That night Brother Jones boy, Joe,
came to him and said:
Pap, what'ye you done with old
Bill lCrow?.
Why, son, he fell down at the
plow this morning, and so | turned
him out to die. Guess his working
days are over
" You turned old Bill Grow out to
die?
Why, sure; he amt no good any
more

working all his life for your

good, too.
And you goin to church every
Sunday and singin' 81 want to be an

way after he worked for him all this

This was putting the thing in a.

feel like he had been pretty mean to
old Bill Grow He spoke to his wife
about it. and she told him that if
he didn't go out and get Bill Crow and

Jones had treated his old mule out.

TWO GAMES PLAYED

Hotly Contested.

EotlY Contested.
A game of ball was played OIL the
local diamond last Friday afternoon
between the Washington and Blev-
ms teams, resulting in the defeat
of the Blevins boys by the score of
Z TO 5. Another game was arranged
for Saturday morning, which was
lost to the visitors by the score of
to 5. Both games were splendid
exhibitions and afforded plenty of
excitement to the fans" through.

Fridays performance promised to
be walk over for the Blevins del
egation from the start, as they led
off with two scores in the first in
ming and prevented the locals scor-
ing for the first three innings, when
the score stood four to nothing; but
in the fourth our boys settled down
to business in their usual way ard
managed to run in three scores.
Blevins was shut ont in the fifth,
sixth and seventh, and Washington
scored four times in the latter iu-
ming. The rest of the game was
"easy money" for the locals.
The game Saturday looked as
though it would belong in the pro-
fessional c'ass for the first few
innings but Washington led ont
i'll the fifth and the score keepers
began to get busy. Blevins failed
to score up to the sixth, but at this
juneture ran in three The loea
again scored in the sixth and twice
in the seventh. The last half of the
ninth dawned with Blevins at the
bat, two men ont, and the score
standing three to four in favor Of
Washington; f. Horton missed
tagging a runner at second by play
ing too far off his base. Stuart
then singled and advanced the run
ner to third when fly was placed
in deep center by Watson, and Page,
the old reliable, stood on his head
in trying to pull the ball from the
clouds, allowing both runners to
reach the coveted goal. This game
was pitched for the locals by Allie
johnson and this was his second
experience as twirler i'll match
game. This youngster acquitted
himself with credit, and with proper
training, we predict Il record for
him another season.
