PICKERING AND SCHRECK
HOLD ALL EAIING RECORDS

Usually the passing Of the veteran
ball player is a matter OF great regret.
The folks who patronize the games
like to see the old fellows stick as
long as they can deliver. There's
something about the old-timer that
makes you warm up To him, probably
because you recall all the good things
he pulled OF when In his prime.
One class OF men, at least, let out
shout when Ollie Pickering and Os-
sic Schreck shook the dust of the
American league diamonds from their
shoes and went over TO the Associa-
ton. Eighty-seven suffering hotel
proprietors let out the glad stun when
the venerables departed.

With The
Sporting
Editor.

In view OF the work OF the De-
troit pitchers to date some comment
on control might not be out OF place.
Sit In the press box and watch the
first man uD for the other side walk
and listen To what the scribes say.
Good night Another Run" is the
customary utterance.
All the great pitchers are strong
on getting the ball over and for a
very good reason. Every batsman has
certain kind OF ball, high, low, In
side or wide, that offers him the great
est difficulty. The ball may be
straight as string, but lit thrown In
the right location will give him three
times as much trouble as the best
curve pitched In his favorite spot.
Hence, the value OF control.
An enterprising Cleveland scribe
has figured out the percentage OF
bases on balls given by Nap pitchers
in the home games on which batters
scored. In SO games the Nap fingers
passed ia men. 27 per cent OF whom
crossed the plate. Opposing pitchers
walked S3. and 10 per cent counted.
Runs resulting from bases on balls
cost ave defeats out of 36 games.
In the, 2s games played at home
since June 1. the Tigers have found
bases on balls very profitable. In that
period los Detroit players have been
passed and 20 of them crossed the
plate. This does not take into &C
count men who moved up through
bases on balls, but includes only those
who reached first base by that means
The opposing players trotted 70 times
and made % runs In consequence. OF
the Tigers who strolled % per cent
scored, for the opposition %.
II will be observed from the figures
that Detroit pitchers passed 26 less
than opposing fingers. which speaks
pretty well either for their control or
the eyes of the Tiger batsmen. A diff
ference Of one base on balls per game
is considerable. In IL games no Tiger
scored because Of a pass and In IL no
visitor profited by wildness.

eight years, native of this parish and q
prominent citizen, fell dead Sunday on the
streets of Comfort, Texas, where he had
gone in search of health. He had been in
poor health for some time and only about
two weeks ago left Shreveport SANTA
rum, mention of which was made in our
last issue. He was fast gaining flesh and
it was thought that his condition was i'm
proving, but such proved not to be true.
Mr.. Vance was an estimable citizen and
springs from one Of our most prominent
families. He was the eldest and last living
son of Capt. w. c. and Mrs. Nina Vance.
Aside from his personal qualifications, he
was an energetic and progressive farmer.
He will be greatly missed by wide circle
of friends both in Bossier and Caddo
Parishes.
He is survived by his wife-Mrs. Mary
(Arnold) Vance-two little children -

mother and sister-Miss Estelle Vance.
