No Advantage to Ball Team.

keep in shape. good pitcher ought to
be able to work every four days
OF course, there are exceptions.
Wood, for instance, is a pitcher who
depends mostly on speed for his eff
fectiveness. once a week would be
often enough to work the Ness City
lad. But Arellanes, Cicotte. Collins
and Wolter are fully capable of per-
forming about three times in two
weeks, and if these men get in shape
as expected next spring. the chances
are that Manager Donovan will de-
pend upon a much smaller pitching
staff than the Red Sox boosted last
season.
Managers and owners both are be-
ginning to realize the folly of keeping
five or six able bodied men upon the
bench while the bulk of the work is
left to couple of good men and a lot
Of second stringers. Travelling is ex-
pensive and salaries today are at a
pretty high figure. If the work could
be gotten out of five men, the saving
both in travelling expenses, salary ana
general efficiency would be consider
able, and owners would be willing to
tack a snug slice on to the compensa-
ton of the five dependable men who
could go in and do their regular stunts.
On the whole, 1 doubt if the Red Sex
carry more than seven pitchers next
season, five to work regularly and two
others to be kept in case of emergency.
More than this number will do neither
themselves nor the club any good, and
| believe that Manager Donovan recog-
niZcs this fact.
Many of the clubs in both National
and American Leagues will reduce the
size Of their box staff next spring be-
fore the bell Gangs.

binary manager should be reasonably
well satisfied.
The Red Sox had one of the biggest
strings of pitchers in the country last
season. They had Hall, Karger Wood,
Cicotte, Matthews, Arelanes, Pape.
Wolter and Schiller at the seasons
end, while previously there We're Ry-
an, Chech, Steele and Morgan as mem
bers of the pitching corps And yet had
Morgan pitched the ball for Boston
that he did for the Athletics and Young
had been retained, these two, with
Arellanes and one other reliable man
to take his turn in the box, might
easily have beaten out both the Ath-
lctcs and Tigers and taken the pen
rant to BOSTON.
The better part of the pitching for
Connie NaclIs club was done by four
men-Plank, Bender, kIause and Nor
gan. And four or five regular men on
any team would be worth double as
much as string OF nine or 10 men
with only one or two of them in first
class pitching condition.
Too many pitchers are a hindrance
instead OF a help. If Cicotte, Wood and
Wolter had been in shape to help out
Arellanes last season the pitching staff
of the Red Sox would not have been
the weakest in the American League.
But the Wildness of Wood, the injury
TO C;cotte and the bad start that VOL
ter got in tie spring handicapped the
team so heavily that Arellanes was
forced to do pretty nearly half the
pitching for his team.
With bunch of bush leaguers as
experiments, some eight or nine of
them in fact, Wolter and others who
might have done splendid work if Civ

IT HAT long pitching strings are no
longer necessary, and that four or
five dependahl men are worth two
or three times that number of twirlcrs.
is a fact that the past season and the
winning Of the championship by the
Pittsburg Pirates have pretty well es-
tablished
Previously the necessity of having
seven men. each one ready at all times
TO take his turn at box, was Il point
that was emphasized by managers.
And during last season, too. the ma jor
league manager that did not have at
least six available men for the box
inquired that he was heavily handicap
ped in the fight for the coveted bunt-
ing
Things have changed, however The
Wonderful work of the Pittsburg pitch
erS, and the now very patent fact that
tour twirlers practically did the brunt
OF the work for the Pirates, have given
managers and owners cause for be-
lleVing that too many pitchers are
worth hardly as much as none at all.
With Camnitz, Willis, Maddox and
Lelfleld performing in their turn. the
l1fateS were up in the race throughout
the entire season, and they finally drew
away easily from all other competitors
at the end. In previous years it was
the pitching of Mordecai Brown. Pfeis-
ter. Overall and Reulbach that won for
the Cubs, and everyone for years has
realized that Christie Mathewson has
been the real mainstay of the Giants
With couple of other pitchers t. help
out Matty and Wiltse, the Giants
might have been up in the race this
year, too. This only goes TO show the
value of one good pitcher to team.

"Jeffries' muscles are long and sup

thickness of the bones in the fore
arm adds weight and rightly t. his

COMPLY.

Some citizens of Heath threaten TO

sohoo, at Heath. Il the county school
trustees decide TO await another
year before occupying the new school
building. They claim that the build
ing VIII be ready for the opening OF
school next September as double
force of men is working on the build
ing. and an attempt Will be made to
catch up with the work.
Mr. A. p. iIill who was one OF the
leaders in securing the school for
Heath. this morning said: "A sub
scription is being raised for the pur-
pose of taking the matter into the
courts unless the county school
board decides to hold the next see-
sion of the county High school at
Heath. At least. we will find out the
reason why / believe that the c.ti-
zons OF Heath will come up with
their agreement OF a bonus. although
some will not. because the board did
not establish the school at Heath
last year. We want the High school
next year and win do something to
get It,"
