SEVENTEEN BOATS MAKE RUN

Races VIII Be Feature of Day.
August Belmont and Gray Bat Are
Scheduled 10 Take Part.

One of the most successful boating
events ever held on the Potomac River
was the opening OF the yachting season
by the Corinthian Yacht Club with a
cruise to occoquan on Sunday last
IN the early morning the club members
and their friends, equipped for cruising,
gathered at the club house on Water
street southwest and on signal from the
commodore mornings were slipped and
a large fleet OF representative motor
boats Of the river headed down stream.
with the commodore's flag in the lead.
A finer day for the occasion could not
have been chosen. The four hour run
without any serious mishaps brought the
fleet to Belmont Bay. Here in single
file formation, necessitated by the tortu-
Gus nature of the channel, the run was
made up the picturesque occoquan river
TO the little town of that name. at the
head of navigation. Shortly after noon
anchors were dropped at the foot Of the
falls and preparations made for dinner.
Some of the visitors availed themselves
of the hotel accommodations. while those
suitably equipped lived aboard boat.
The start for home was made Monday
at two O'Clock: and the sight Of the fleet
emerging from the little river into the
bread Potomac was one long to be re-
membered. Naturally some OF the boats
could not refrain from attempting 10 es-
tabllsh their supremacy and the result
was a series of lively brushes, some OF
them lasting for many miles. One excit-
ing contest was that between the Viz
ginia and the Vika. which ran a dead
heat from Craney Island 10 the club
float, distance OF twenty-five miles.
Seventeen boats participated in the run
as follows: Virginia, Vika. Spunky, Ruby,
Alter, TrUant. r. Y c., Fiji, Rensselaer,,
Minneola, Norma b., Felicite, Arno, Alice,
Irene, Stuvie, and Eleanor.

speed boat races are on the program and

in the race in which the Gray Bat and

gether. These boats have met once be-

By ROBERT GROOM,
Washington pitcher.


Many people have the idea that a
pitcher n,s a low batting average because
he doesn't try for a high one They
imagine that a pitcher doesn't want 10
hit because II he does he viii have TO
run, and thus diminish his effectiveness
in his subsequent work in the box.
But while 1t is TOO true that hard
run about the bases does nothing TO Inn
prove a pitchers accuracy, it is both
untrue and unkind to accuse pitcher
of loaAng because he doesn't hit A
pitcher is proud when he makes 3 hit.
No one realizes better than he that he
is not generally considered so much a
player of bail as he is a mechanism for
delivering balls to the opposing batsman.
The distinction is none the less acute
for being fine drawn.
oh. well. We didn't expect you 10 hIt
it; that's not your job. yelled at a
pitcher who has struck out with three
men or bases. is more maddening than
consoling to the unfortunate man whose
only value to his team lies in his ability
to put them over IN such a way that the
other fellow whiffs or fiies out.
Have you never noticed the desperate
eagerness with which a pitcher fields ?
He loves to get in the game. loves TO
figure in a put-out. Many pitchers would
rather help pull of successful double
than get a strikeout 10 their credit.
The reason lies deeper than unwill-
ingness or lack of desire 20 hit. More
over. to my mind, it is a variation of
the same reason which affects catchers,
and surely no one would accuse a catch
er of ioafing for fear run around the
bases would injure mis- effectiveness
I believe that pitchers and catchers
cannot hit because the vast majority of
their time in the game IS spent watch
ing balls go from them or come toward
them with full knowledge OF what is
going or coming and watching these
balls from an entirely different angle
- that which they get on the ball when
standing at the plate.
From Pitchers Viewpoint.
The pitcher. for instance, sees all the
fast and curve balls from behind. He
can tell as soon as he lets a ball go
whether it Is going over or not, al
though, of course, he hasn't any sure
idea what the umpire is going to say
about it. When the pitcher comes to the
bat he begins to see balls coming at him
instead OF away from him; he has to
Judge their trueness-Whether q ball or a
strike-by the looks and not by the feel
of il, and because his experience is all
in the other direction he fails at the
plate to judge accurately.
Take my own case AS far as / can
see, I do anything any one else does at
the plate 1 have as good a swing, am
as willing 10 stand close as any one, yet
my batting average is joke l think

AS for the catcher, he is always look

sure; but he is looking almost along
their line of fight, instead Of down
upon that line, as the batsman must look
and he, too, knows so much what Is
coming toward him that when YOU
change his point OF view and make him
hit at ball, the nature Of which he
doesn't understand beforehand, he is
more or less helpless.

OAA
But ! do believe that figures bear my
theory out to this extent-tnat pitchers
or eatehers who leave their positions and
play a season in some other position
always find their batting average inn

cause, when playing other positions, the
only balls they see which they have 10
judge as balls or strikes are those which
come at them when in their position
at the plate, and not going from them
as pitchers see them, or coming to them
on line with their eyes as eatchers see
them. Most Of all. they never know Gun
less they guess what is being served 70
them. Consequently. their entire atten-
ton while at bat is devoted to solving the
problem OF the balls pitched, with no
distFacting experience or knowledge of
such balls from a different angle or d.
rection to confuse them
1t should not be forgotten, either that
both pitchers and eatchers have more
hard work 10 do than any other PLAYER.
and are consequently more fatigued when
at bat than the rest of the team. and
fatigue always affects accuracy, whether
of throwing or batting eye. Again. a
pitcher averages four times at bar 10
about twenty-six of any other member
Of the team, due to pitchers working
only every three or four DAYS. Conse-
quently, pitcher has so much less ac-
tual practice at the plate, which NAV
also have something to do with his poor
batting average
1t is probable that there are other the
cries to account for light hitting by bat
teries. But I have never heard any
which seemed more plausible than these
of mine which ! express not at all as
facts, but as beliefs, and with an entire

should be directed az the weak spot. Run
bases on pitchers who do not watch the
bases carefully, outguess the slow-think-
ing pitchers, and bunt on the bad field

run early in the game, for the first run

them to hit The first run, ] think, Is
almost half the game. and one run in the
first inning usually is worth three later
in the game.
II is nearly all a study Of individuals,

base. il is one OF the most difficult posi-
tons in the field TO play. and when the
other team is at bat a third baseman is

the chief attack by bunting is direct
ed at third base. and the baseman, play

position. He must decide whether a GER
tain batter will bunt or whether he viii

tending 10 bunt and then push the ball
hard past him. If he decides wrong, his
chances for fielding a hard pushed ball
while he is running forward are slim. II
he gets the ball, it is because he is lucky
enough to have Il hit straight at him,
because while coming forward he Is I'M
able to change direction or to stop in
time to field such a hit. A wrong guess
with men on first and second usually
means the loss OF the game.
I know through experience what almost
every batter is likely to do, but in base
ball there is nothing quite so dangerous
as thinking you know what man viii

times He is likely to change quickly and
upset everything. I watch the batters
