m EMARKs Mordecai Brown Of
IRI the Cubs: The batting help
I'M lessness of pitchers, has been
rich Joke for thirty years
and, no doubt, will continue
TO be so as long as the old game is
played. Why are pitchers SO feeble
with the stick? Why are they lemons
with the bat and on the bases?
The average man outside the
game would think that pitchers
should be the best batsmen in the
world. They know all about the
tricks of throwing the ball; they
should know just what Is being sent
by the other pitcher, and, therefore,
being educated. as il were, they
ought to be exceptionally good hit
tiers. But, as a rule, they are miser'
able punks with the stick, and are
getting worse, instead OF better, as
the years go by. Yes, know hit
.176 In 1909, but ] never did claim to
be a Delehanty.
"The reasons for the weak batting
of pitchers are numerous; 80 numer-
Gus, in fact, that any one OF them
would seem wholly logical as an ex-
cuse. For one thing, the pitcher, es-
pecially in a hard, close game, is
about all in as he comes back from
the slab at the end Of every inning
He Is painting, half dizzy NERVES and
muscles all throbbing. and, how can
a man in that condition be expected
to go up and hit the ball?
There is good reason for helpless
ness on the part OF great many
pitchers. Then, again, many hurlers
are specialists and students of pitch
ing and nothing but pitching. They
spend all their practice time learning
the tricks Of the slabmans trade
those and nothing more. They can't
bat. simply because they don't know
how. -. a,-
still others disdain batting on the
principle that they are earning their
salaries by pitching and nothing but
pitching-that they do enough along
those lines, and that 1t would be fool
ish for them to even attempt to bat
Still more OF the slabmen allege
that batting and running the bases
tire them out so that they can not
do their best with the curves, and
hence they are really serving their
clubs most faithfully when they do
not try to slug.
