strength OF the clubs. l am sure the
people who patronize basketball in
Detroit would rather see games be-

the greatest pitcher In any period OF

Before he made the unparalleled
record of pitching feats in Providence

.HOUCK SHOWS

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-Philadelphia
has added another promising little
4 fighter to her list through the per
formance OF Tommy Houck against
Jimmy Carroll. Of California. IN a fast
ten-round bout at the Olympic Ath-
Ietic club last night. Despite the fact
that Abe Attell sat close To Carrolrs
corner and advised him throughout
the mill, the Quaker lad easily out
pointed the Californian.
II was one of the best bouts pulled
of. In New York this year. In the ear
lly rounds Carroll bothered Houck with
his left jabs, but when the Philadel-
phian solved this attack he was new
ser In danger.
In striking contrast TO this bout
was the set-to between Jack tTwin)
Sullivan Of Boston, and Jim Stewart,
the l-ooklyn heavyweight. which end
I'd In the fourth round because Stew

accident saved the Brooklynite lot

took his measure at the outset and was
shooting them In pretty fast at the
close. Stewart was big disappoint-
'ment.

DOPE
BY
TIP WRIGHT.

When the major league magnates
meet in New York, Dec, IL. 18, IA,
one OF the questions to be threshed
out will be that OF dropping the pitch
ers from the batting order.
The men fostering this thing are
the men who want To see an increase
in the batting. They think that by
letting the pitcher occupy the bench
between innings, instead OF taking his
turn at the plate, the weak spot In
the lineup Will be done away with.
They are working on the theory that
large percentage OF the pitchers are
weak with the stick, and more of q
detriment than help.
But these same men must not for
get that the great big interest in the
national game Is its uncertainty.
While the fans want more hitting
don't think many will fall In with
plan like this. IT'S fundamentally
wrong. Every man who plays on the
defensive side should have a hand In
the offense.
You remember how often you have
groaned, In a pinch, when with a man
on and. perhaps, two out, you have
seen the pitcher walk to the plate. In
stinctively you know he Is going to
strike out or at the best hit TO one
Of the INTEL iers and be thrown out.
| And how you have whooped when he
managed 70 slash out a ringing base
hit
True not many pitchers are noted
or batting ability. Occasionally one
is able to bat above 200, but In the
American league only IL were I'm this
class, and ia the National league 10
pitchers hit better than 200 Still the
pitcher who does deliver the timely
wallop Is OF more value than the one
who doesn't drive in any runs with
his hits, but who gets higher aver.
! age.
believe there will be considerable
discussion on this subject when the
magnates get together but | don't be-
| lieve any OF them will vote 10 take
the pitcher out of the batting order.
