succeeding design has been a marvel
of it's time.
His cars have at once become the
standard for other manufacturers.
Still, with this noteworthy success,
MIR. Coffin has never produced a car

been his record for splendid achieve

trade to turn to his work as always

automobile engineering. 7~AIr. Coffin
row devotes Lis time exclusively to
the Hudson. His greatest work, we
arc told by competent critics, is
found in the 1911 car.
Many 1911 cars have been announc-
ed. With hardly an exception has
there been any change from the pre-
yious years models. Perfection of
details is the common story told But
do you think that the year 1910 mark
ed the perfection OF the motor car?
The Hudson "33' stands out strong

different FROM anything ever produc-
ed. And yet the Hudson "33" upsets
no principle of engineering. It com

kids" but began late. have watched
school boys of fourteen and fifteen
cracking their arms. A few hints TO
these boys may help. In the first
place. boy ought to learn to warm
up" before he starts to pitch. Few
do. The pitcher who is going to
work in a game ought to start per-
haps ten minutes before time to play,
throwing the ball easily, and with a
free swing Of the arm and body and
gradually increase the speed as the
arm warns up and the muscles work
freely. Then Ae can pitch as hard as
no pleases without endangering the
arm. II he starts pitching hard with
out this preliminary warming up he
will ruin the shoulder sooner or later
instead of developing and strengthen
ing It, and have sore arm all the
time.
Another thing, he should not pitch
too many curve balls. The first thing
a boy ought to learn is that curve
it not effective unless other balls are
being pitched. Control is the first e.
sential I know we won college pen
nants for years because our coach
taught US two things: First, that
the pitcher should get control and
pitch at the plate steadily, and, Sec
ond, that the batters should learn to
wait. The success Of our team was
in the fact that our pitchers seldom
gave bases ON balls and had control
enough to put the ball over. A boy
ought, however, to remember that
when the other team Is swinging at
bad balls not to pitch them good
ones, and that a straight ball a foot
away from the plate will be missed a.
.often as curve is.
A boy who will take care Of his
arm, avoid straining It and practise
slowly and steadily. tossing the ball
either at mark or to his catcher and
striving always to get control, rather
than speed and curves, can make q
pitcher of himself. The other things
will come naturally and II he has the
arm and the control he will last long
enough to learn more.

"OLD ROMAN" COMISKEY
OPENS 100000 PARK

Charles Comiskey, the "Old Roman"
Of baseball, has opened his fine new
plant in Chicago. The new home of
the "Sox" is about the finest place in
which the great national game is
played. It cost close to a million dol
lars, according to report.
Comiskey is one of the big men IN
baseball, and the great success he has
achieved is deserved. He has done
much to place the game on the high
plane where it now is found, and al
though in the last two or three sea-
sons his team has not been very close
to the top at any time, he has held the
admiration OF thousands Of fans"
When he placed his team in the
American league ten years ago, the
first game was with Milwaukee. The
sox lost, but the 5000 spectators were
enthusiastic. From that day to this
they have been rabid in their friend
ship for the team.
To show two things-the belief Of
the Chicago fans in the White Sox, and
the growth in the interest in base
ball-it may be necessary only to say
that on the day the new park was
opened there were 10000 persons In
the grand stands and bleachers.
Old time fans will be interested In

Everything in baseball today is the
signal system. The marvellous per-
formances of the Cubs, the irresisti.
BILE rush OF the Tigers and the sensa.
tional play of other teams owes much
of its brilliance and seeming luck to
team signals. Even the umplres find
1t profitable to understand some of tho
signals while officiating. OF course,
It keeps them guessing lot, because
signals often are switched in a game,
but they come to know, In a general
way, what is going to be pulled off.
The authority for this statement is
President Tip" O'Neill Of the West
ern league who was once an umpire
himself Understanding signals in
a general way was often a help to
me-" said O'Neill. For example, the
umpire would often be caught mapping
on a base decision If he didn't know
that steal or hit-and-run signal was
given. This enables him to keep one
eye on the play and the other on the
other angle of the play. 1t has beer
said that the umpire might give some
OF the plays to the other team If he
knew the signals. That's all boeh. No
umpire could do that and retain his
job.
'Umpiring is one of the hardest
jobs in all creation, and for that rea-
son every little thing helps that aids
him in his general allround work 1t
is easier In the big league nowadays
where there is a man on the bases all
the time. That takes away nine

SIBlLiTIES DECLARES THE
CLEVELAND PITCHER.

Copyright. 1910. by Joseph B. Bowles.,
l am asked to write how to win,
but the ball player does not learn
from that, but gets his lesson from
losing. We study our mistakes and
try to correct them, and after cor
recting and correcting up to near the
time the arm wears out some Of US

There Is no game IN the world that
offers such a variety of plays and so
great number of ways to make each
one. 1t is a game Of possibilities, and
to take advantage of them a player
must study his own profession all the
time. One might learn it all. but for
the fact that the other fellows are
studying at the same time, and just
when he thinks he knows all about
them they switch on him and he must
start all over again.

and speed he may have, think the
most essential thing is that he shall
possess the keenest power of obser'
walton. Pitching, in fact, is the one
acquired art of baseball. Every other
position depends more upon the natu'
raj ability Of the player, while any
one with a good arm, free motion
and fair brain can become a pitcher
through constant practise and study.
Whether he Is a success or not de-
ponds largely upon what kind OF

A boy who aspires to become a
pitcher ought to begin early-and to
begin caring for his arm from the

, catch, because think a fellow must
stay back there and think and study
and learn until he gets 1t for himself.
There are some pointers, however.
that may be of some use to young
fellows who are just breaking IN.
Stand steady all the time and as
nearly In throwing position as pos
sible. Study the batters, what kinds
of bats they bring up, how they stand
in the box, and try to think out what
they are likely to try to do. Always
step in as close as possible when ex-
pecting to have to make throw or
when the batter is showing signs OF
bunting. Be ready to go in at all
times. Another thing, catcher can
do a pitcher a lot Of damage by using
bad Judgment in what to call for. DO
not curve q pitcher to death. Make
his work just as easy for him as the
situation will permit, If you are giving
the signals. 1t is easier. OF course,
to catch the curves when they are out.
It is bad idea, too, for catcher to
try to protect himself at the expense
of a pitcher. A catcher should not
make pitchers pitch out too often and
waste balls that may be valuable, just
so he can throw from better position
to catch runners. A catcher ought to
watch the base runners more closely
than any other man does. He ought
to protect the pitcher by signaling
him when to drive runners back, and
at the same time to protect himself.
He ought never to allow pitcher to
pitch with players out Of position. not
until he is certain the whole team
knows what the signal is, If he has
signaled for some throw. He ought
always try to slow up pitchers when
they are working too fast. and give
them a chance to steady.
No player can tell another one how
to play, but each one learns something
from experience which may help
youngster, and l hope these ideas OF
mine will help some one. l think
they would have helped me II some
one had told me at the start.
