Last season when the Chicago
Cubs fell down some Of the wise ones
said It was because Johnny Killing, the
star catcher. was sulking in his tent
and not doing the backstop work for
the team. When the season was over
and Pittsburg won the pennant OF the
National league by comfortable ma
jority Joe Tinker, shortstop for tho
former champions. expressed the opin-
Ion that 1t was the absence Of Frank
Chance, the peerless leader, from so
many games In the early part OF the
season that put the Cubs down and
out.
There seems to be a whole lot to
Tinker's argument. Already this sea-

pretty fair control. and sometimes
perfect control for months at q time.
A fellow cannot say honestly he al
ways has 1t for there are times when
the ball won't 60 anywhere he wants
it to go and he has to retreat.
Then comes the curve, and II fol-
low can get that fast enough and
break 1t where he pleases he needs
little else-at least as long as the
speed lasts.
There is a lot more to pitching than
that, however, for no matter how fast
a fast ball Is, or how 1t jumps, or how
fast curve is or how much 1t curves.
the batters are going to do lot Of
hitting II they can find out In some
way what is coming. A pitchers mo-
ton is for the purpose Of keeping
them from seeing his position Of
hand, or his swing Of arm in time to
see what 10 coming. A good motion Is
necessary, not only to keep the bat
tiers from getting on to what fellow
Is pitching, but also to save the strain
on the pitching arm and back, and to
add to the speed. The only thing it
hurts IL control, and II you notice
when a left-hander is wild it is main
~ because he Is swinging himself on
his stride. Then he has to shorten up
the swing to regain control. and If he
has not the speed with the shorter
swing-bing bing-and to the bench
for him.
All that is all right as long as there
are no runners on the bases. The
minute q runner gets on first the
pitcher must cut his balk motion and
hold up the runners. Every one has
a "balk motion" always thought
the balk motion was cheating the
rules and that If the rule makers
wanted to make more base running
the umpires ought to call balk every
time-instead of once a week. If one
is q balk another Is. have a pretty
fair balk motion myself, but the fact
is have caught more runners OF first
by outguessing them than in any other
way.
know all the batters and where to
pitch to them-or where not to pitch,
rather-but In q game l watch them
closely to see what they are trying to
do. and then cross them with some
thing else.
The easiest games for me are on
dark days when I can just cut loose
the speed and curve and NOW them
down. On rays like that pitcher with
speed does not need to strain his head
thinking. He can just pitch.
This stuff is on the square with me.
and | hope it will help some young
pitchers. 1t will show them, anyhow,
that they will have to do their own
thinking In every game.

Footwork in baseball Is one of the
most necessary things. A man who
handles his feet we'll. either batting,
fielding or base running. ia a good
player, for footwork Is better than
ability with the hands. It is as neces-
sary for player to be shifty on his
feet as it is for boxer. No one can
be shifty unless he is on his toes all
the time, and flat-footed player is as
bad as a flat-headed one-and usually
the two things go together.
The batter who is on his toes, bal
anced and ready for the jump, will
hit, for he can shift and swing and
still get his weight behind the bat.
The shifty runner on first is ready
to move either way-to dive back to
first or go on to second. In the field
he moves with the ball, and is moving
when it Is hit. SO he covers more
ground.
A young player starting in the bust
ness should watch every move of the
batter, and poise himself for the start
lust as a sprinter does. l remember
that one of the first things taught me
after joined the old Chicago club
was starting. and the crowd of great
players under Arson won many games
because they started faster and were
reader in Selling an opportunity than
their opponents we're. Another thing
they taught me was sliding to bases,
not only so as to avoid being touched,
but also to avoid getting hurt or hurt
ing any one. That slide known as the
"Chicago slide" was the invention of
Kelly and adopted by Burns, William
son, Pfeffer and the great players of
that day. There is more footwork to
that slide than in any other depart
ment of the game. It consists in
watching the position of the baseman
who is receiving a thrown ball and
throwing the body In the opposite di.

leg partially bent under and tho ~

the "Rube," as they have called me

much thinking. but they keep taking

The first thing a left-hander needs

Is with speed enough to make the ball

men will be Democrats in the next
House. Maine has sixteen counties
and yesterday the Democrats carried
thirteen OF those erstwise Republi-

presages a tremendous Democratic
majority in the next House and the
election Of Democratic President in
