A PITCHERS VIEWPOINT
By George Wiltse, Pitcher New York Nationals.

whole list of the necessary qualifica-
tions 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.
To be sure | do not say that the
pitchers have not 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 those of the other player.
The headworks of the box artist are,
think, constructed along the 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 watcn
to detect him at it, yet he always gets
by. So it is with the pitcher. Every
batter he faces knows that he is trying
to get him to bite, to quote the popular
expression, and he 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 successful.
To my mind pitching is a fine art.
1t 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 case
Of work, work, work. all the time, day
in and day out. Pitchers, like poets,
are born to their calling. Many and
many the attempts that have been
made to develop into a twirler, Il
fellow who showed no innate ability
for it, and invariably has failure been
the result.
How should pitcher live? In the
first place it is necessary that he keep
good hours. His nerves are at all
times under a great strain, and it is
absolutely requisite that he keep them
in the best possible condition When
you are with baseball team, you can
not let the idea get into your head that
once you are off the field, you can for
get baseball You have to be a ball
tosser every minute of every day, from
April up to October, and even during
the winter months one has to be in
preparation for what is to come.
A pitcher must be wary Of any food
or drink that is at all stimulative his
nerves. again. to be considered. The
man who can let intoxicating liquors.
and even tea or coffee, absolutely
alone is so much the better off. 1t is
the little things that are liable to
worry the pitcher. and any nerve
stimulation, however slight, is more
than likely to get him going And
once a pitcher gets going. he might as
well make up his mind to quit the
game. For the fact that he is not as
he should be will wear on him, and he
will find his work falling off, and soon
Will be handed his discharge.
However, I am not a pessimist. I
think that baseball is great game,
and a splendid profession, and the
young man who has the ability, would
go farther and fare less well. in the
search of life work.

ITCHERS are in a class by

= =
w. themselves. They are not ball
= players in the ordinary sense
of the word" was the rather startling
statement Of a prominent newspaper
writer, a short time since. To be sure
this radical assertion created lot OF
hubbub But when you get down to
points, there's a whole lot OF truth IN
it. Just take a 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 facul-
ties, one who is always ready to take
advantage Of a slip or miss in the
work 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 strangth, and yet
be quick and graceful in his move
ments. He must be able to figure in
the flash of a second. while he is per-
haps running at full speed after a ball.
points he will throw it when he gets il.
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 dis
obeying 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 ball though there
are nine sets of brains working
against his one.
These are only a few Of the abso-
lutely essential qualities of the
ordinary ball player. There are IL
thousand other things, just as difficult
as these. that are matters of every
day performance with him.
Yet how many pitchers can fill even
a small number of the qualifications
specified above? In the matter of
batting alone, ninety out of hundred
OF them drop out OF the class who
have the right to be called real ball
players. 1t is in exceptional cases 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 1t" 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.
Then consider base running Where
Is the pitcher who is good base
runner? 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 your good ball player And in the
helding line the twirlers are once more
rather negligible quantity Remem-
Der l always make allowances for the
lew who are exceptions to the general
rule.

over-extension Of credits in holding stocks
at high price levels.
The reiterated reports of hitch in the
arrangements for dealing in United States
Steel on the Paris Bourse has aroused
some distrust, in spite OF the assurances
often repeated from the banking inter-
ests concerned that the project was pro-

Cunningham recently, was that provided
