To nv mind pitching is a fine art.

To my mind pitching is fine art.
Il differs from the other fine arts
principally in that the artist has to be
endowed with good physique and
plenty of strength. Then, too, the
artist, in this case, has to be born with
an everlasting capacity for hard work.
There is no let up for him, once the
season is under way, until the curtain
is pulled on the final game. It's a case
of work, work, work, all the time,

poets, are born to their calling. Many

NEW YORK NATIONAL MAN TELLS
OF THE PITCHERS VIEWPOINT

only that we find a pitcher who is at
all able to hit a ball. Such a man is
Mullin of the Detroit American
League Champions. This chap Is able
to "sting it" with the best Of them,
and because he is a hitter he is held
up as a marvel by all the critics of the
country. Take the list of averages"
of any big team and you will always
find that the last half dozen or so
in the batting column are twirlers.
Pitchers Poor Base Runners.
Then consider base running. Where
is the pitcher who is a good base rum
ner? Some of them may be fast on
their feet, but once they get on the
bases, they never know what to do
with themselves. They never take the
chances or pull off the startling
steals that are the usual performances
Of our good ball players. And in the
fielding line the twirlers are once
more a rather negligible quantity
Remember | always make allowances
for the few who are exceptions to the
general rule.
And if / wished, I could go down
the whole list of the necessary quail
ifications for the ball player, and in
every case show that the pitcher is
the only one of the good ball team
who cannot answer the requirements.
His Brains Are Different.
To be sure 1 do not say that the
pitchers have no brains, for even the
kid who is just beginning to know
what baseball Is will tell you that its
the pitchers nut that gets him by"
But the pitchers brains must be diff
ferent from this Of the other player.
The headwork Of the box artist are,
think, constructed alongethe same
lines as those Of the stage magician.
/ The latter is before the public to fool
them. They know he is trying to bluff
and they are ever on the watch to de-
tect him at It, yet he always gets by.
/ SO it is with the pitcher. Every bat
ter he faces knows that he is try
ing to get him to bite, to quote the
pcpular expression, and ne is ready for
him. and trying to outguess him. Yet
the good pitcher keeps right on, and
year after year, shows the same line
Of goods, yet continues to be success
full.

By George Wiltse
pitcher. New York Nationals.


pitchers are in a class by them
selves. They are not ball players, in
the ordinary sense of the word" was
the rather startling statement of
prominent newspaper writer, short
time since. To be sure this radical as
sertion created a lot Of hubbub. But
when you get down to points, there's
a whole lot of truth in it. Just take
look at the different pitchers in the
leagues, and watch them, and you'll
be surprised to find that this epigram
so startling at first sight, has more
than little truth in it.
A ball player, in the best meaning
of the word, is a man endowed with
wonderful physical and mental fac
ulties, one who is always ready to take
advantage Of a slip or miss in the
york Of his opponents. He is one
who can figure what will happen,
when there are a thousand and one
things that are likely to occur. He
must have great physical strength,
and yet be quick and graceful in his
movements.
Demands Quick Decisions.
He must be able to figure in the
flash Of a second, while he is perhaps
running at full speed after a ball, to
which one Of nine Of ten possible
points he VIII throw it when he gets
it. He must subserve his individual
hopes and aspirations to the good Of
his team, and he must be ready to
obey orders though he knows that by
disobeylng them he could bring great
glory to himself, and do his team no
harm. He must be able to get up at
the bat and hit the bail though there
are nine sets Of brains working
against his one. These are only few
Of the absolutely essential qualities Of
the ordinary ball player. There are a
thousand other things, just as diff
cult as these, that are matters Of every
day performance with him.
Yet how many pitchers can fill ever
small number Of the qualifications
specified above? In the matter o.
batting alone, ninety out Of every hun
dred Of them drop out Of the class
who have the right to be called rea
ball players. 1t is in exceptional case
