The great trouble with many pitchers
is that they merely go through the mo-

OF the catchers and try to get the ball
over the plate, but have no purpose for
any ball they pitch

most successful, even though he does not

SPORTING COMMENT.
BY J. ED GRILLO.

Judged by the great difference of Opin-
lon on the outcome of the Ketchell-Lang-
ford bout in Philadelphia last night, it is
pretty safe that there was little to choose
between the two fighters at the end. I'm
less there was decisive blow struck
two men of the type of ketchell and
Langford would be hard to judge in SO
short an encounter, and 1t is matter
Of fact that one-half of the experts who
witnessed the fight would have given the
decision to Langford. while the others
picked Ketchell. That in itself would in
dictate that had q decision been allowed 1t
would most likely have been declared a
draw.
About all the fight proved was that
Ketcheli has not gone back materially
as a result Of his defeat at the hands of
dissipation with which Ketchell was
charged iaas affected him to any extent.
for he seemed to show all his former
prowess in last nights fight
Incidentally, 1t is hard to see how
I.angford would stand chance with Jack
Johnson when he could not make bet
ter showing against much llghter ana
smaller man like Ketchell, even though 1t
was only a six-round affair, for in the
fight between Ketchell and Johnson there
was no doubt as to the outcome long be-
fore the sixth round, and had Johnson
waded in from the start he could have
finished KetcheIl much sooner than he
did.
In irving to pick up winning aggrega-
ton in base ball efforts are made to get
exact opposites. For instance. club
wants pitchers that cannot be hit and
batters that can hit any pitcher. Catch
ers ON whom 1t is next to impossible to
steal are no more in demand than base
runners who can steal on any catcher.
1t is. of course. not often that players of
this type are found, but that Is the pur-
pose Of every manager who starts to
build up team.
Pitchers who do not give their work
careful study are sure never TO make
success of It. There is but little differ
ence In natural ability between the aver
age major leag1le pitchers. but when it
comes to delivering that which each has

There will always be a great differ

That there must have been very lit
tie to choose between the two fighters
is gathered from the fact that the eX-
perts at the ringside seem to differ
materially in their views. Some insist
that 1t was Langford who would have
| been given the decision had the ref
cree the right to make one, while there
are others who are just as confident
that Ketchell would have been declared
the winner.
The reports of the fight as they ap

of the best judges of pugilistic con-
tests plainly show that there were
as many of one opinion as of the
Says Langford Won.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Getting a comfortable lead in the
second round Of the wind-up at the
National Athletic Club last night, Sam
Langford went nicely rated route
with Stanley Ketchell and won out by a
whisker or two at the finish. What he

suggested in the last two rounds what
he could have done. And yet at that it
was a most satisfactory bout from the
spectacular point Of view. There was
not the slightest question about Ket-
chelIs willingness or gameness. He
was always after the Tar Baby. but
the majority OF his efforts were abor-

round. Stanley Ketchell, the Michigan

Langford. the Boston Tar Baby" in
six-round contest at the National A. c.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.

question will only be answered when the
two men meet in a longer bout on the

and drove enough runs over the rubber

neckS require straight col
lars and others slightly curved. The same care is
given to the fitting of a colaret as to the set Of
an expensive gown, and it has to be tried on
and changed and adjusted as many times.
Dividers are used to gage the exact position
in which the vertical diamond bars that sup
port the strands of pearls should be placed
Endless care and judgment may be given to
laying out the pattern for one of these baubles
but when it to be fitted there is sure to be
trouble. 1t may be too tight at the bottom
and too loose at the top, or perhaps the ends
may not even meet at all.
Telling Real from False
THE pearl stringers eye becomes practised in
the detection of real and imitation pearls
has a hard look. 1t presents sort of sheli-lilze
surface with an Undesirable blush. This
blush is so cleverly counterfeited in wax imita-
tions that even those who are accustomed to
handling pearls day after day are likely to be de-
ceived.
In of the large New York jewelry houses
last winter customer purchased a hand
painted immature set in a frame of imitation
pearls. On examination it was found that
several of the pearls had been slightly defaced,
and the whole thing was sent to the manu-
featuring rooms for repairs By chance it came
under the eye of one OF the pearl strlngers who
instantly detected four genuine pearls in the
circle OF imitation ones about the picture. The
frame had passed through a dozen expert hands
without anyones noticing the presence OF
real pearls. No one could account for their
being there. If they had not been detected, the
purchaser of the frame would have had bar
gain; for the four genuine pearls were worth
many times more than the picture and the rest
of its setting.
