tried, even II he know he cannot hit it.
If he does not swing he allows the
catcher to run in three or four feet
TO meet the ball and gives him much
better chance to throw out the runner.
"A batter should study the pitcher all

pitcher losing his temper or getting
excited he can change tactics on him
all the time and outguess him at least
half the time.
He ought also to watch the posi-
tions of the aelders, to see where they
are shifting and how. I have seen
many games won because the bat
tiers guessed from the way the field
ers were moving what bail was to be
pitched, and we're prepared to hit

The biggest thing in winning games,
as see it, is patience and GOODNESS at

can get on the bases wins whether 1t

team of good walters, who are patient
and who do not hit or strike at bad
balls will beat the heaviest hitting
teams steadily. If you will look back
over the pennant-winning teams OF the
last 20 years you will find that they
were the waiting teams, and that they
won their pennants by getting bases
on balls rather than by hitting. They
got the runners on bases, tied up the
other teams infielders, and then hit
and the chances of their hits going
safe were doubled.
There is another thing-almost all
the pennant-winning teams have had
q good waiter to lead of the batting
list and get on the bases. and then
the third and fourth batters we're tho
heavy hitters. These are only my
ideas, but think sometimes there Is
not half enough waiting in the modern
game, and there Is lot of bad hit
ting, or hitting with bad judgment.

because the team that is threatening
to SCORE gets overan1ious and the bat

UMPIRE SHERIDAN QUIT
BECAUSE EYES ARE BAD

John F. Sheridan, the American
league umpire, who suddenly an
nounced his intention of quitting the
game Just before the contest between
Washington and New York recently,
told President johnson at Chicago
that his eyes are going back on him
and that as he would have to wear
glasses, he had decided to quit the
game for good. Mr.. Johnson sent the
umpire to an eye specialist and hopes
that Jack can be Influenced to don
umpire togs again.

season they used the acid test on the
arm and it was a case of tin can for
me. They had passed the iron age
in Dixie. Henry Grady, the silver
tongued statesman, was president of
the Southern league at that time. He
must have thought my voice sounded

You ask me to tell how l happened

order to help young and aspiring play
ers. If they asked me would tell
them everything could to keep them
from starting. Not that knock the
profession, but think 1t Is poor one

the small chances of being really sue

educated at the game in a good school,
on the lots around St. Louis. l think
that ball players develop faster when
they are in the neighborhoou of some
major league team. One or two Of the
players on prairie" team are at
every game the big leagues play. They
see how the game is played, and being
at that age as initiative as monkeys,
they work the same things on their
own teams and teach all the other
boys. have noticed that when any
city has pennant winning club the
quality of baseball played by the boys
and the amateurs in that vicinity Is
much improved.
The first regular team l made was
the Arcades at Springfield, Mo-, which
was quite team, merely because we

to teach boys than to teach men. as

was when to throw. l think l
must have thrown away half the games
we played before learned not to
throw when there was no chance to
get the runner. l think that is one
of the ilrst things a young player
should learn; to look before he throws
and only throw when he has chance
to make play. The next thing, 1t
seems to me, is to learn to handle
ones feet and to keep in the game all
the time, and be In position to move
when the ball is hit or before.

By KNOCKOUT.

Do you remember reading in this pa
per along about the time the Jeffries-
Johnson match was made that there
was plan to have Frank Gotch, the
worlds champion wrestler, turn pu-
gilist and fight Jack Johnson. If the
big boilermaker failed to win?
Well. 1t was printed whether you
read It or not, and now the scheme
has been sprung. Let me say right
at the start of that Frank Gotch never
will be seen in the ring with Jack
Johnson Gotch Is too smart. In fact
he's about the smartest athlete in the
country, If not the world Gotch Is
strong. Gotch is game and as wres-
tier has no peer. But there's all the
difference in the world between wres-
Ting and fighting, and different set
of muscles entirely is developed In
the two games.
Jim Corbett, according to report, was
going to give several months of his
valuable time to teaching Gotch the
fine points of the fighting game to
make of the wrestler the white mans
hope" a position Jeffries held until
July 4. Corbett Is in the show bust

and probably will be again next win.

Both know the value of getting their
names in print in connection with such
q story. No, Frank Gotch never will
fight Johnson and If he does he's too
smart to have any old has beens
teaching him the business. 1t would
be Gotch for Tommy Ryan or Billy
Delaney. Corbett wouldn't do.
AS l predicted last week, Tommy
Ryan has come out with the declara-
ton that he intends to prime his pro-
tege, Con O'Kelly, to fight Johnson.
Foxy Tommy says he can make
OKelly into scrapper in a year,
and will then challenge johnson for
the championship. About all the Harp
has now is size, but he'll know how to
fight when Ryan gets through with
him. They all do. But will he be able
to whip Johnson? It's a safe guess
the odds would be five to one on John
son should the pair be matched at the
end Of year. Fighters are not made
that quickly. They must have plenty
of hard knocks and they don't get
them In gymnasium. 1t is probable
that at the end Of year there'll be
no place in the United States where
a championship fight can be pulled of
anyway.
It's remarkable how this agitation
against the showing of the moving
pictures of the Reno battle has grown.
Maid Sylvester, superintendent Of
police in Washington, started it the
day after the battle, when, because of
. riot between blacks and whites In
the national capital, he said he would
not permit the pictures to be shown
because of the anti-negro feeling en-
gendered there.
Other cities picked it up and the
movement grew into such proportions
that the men who bought the right to
show the pictures and exhibit them
grew alarmed and decided not to show
them just yet. 1t is understood that
Jeffries received $4,000, johnson $780,
900 and Richard $4,000 or $6O, 900 for
their share in the pictures, which, in
addition to the expense of taking and
staging them. probably meant an out
lay Of 100000. No wonder the pro-
motors were alarmed BY the move
