BEAT P|TTSBuRG," BATTLE
CRY OF CHICAGO CUBS
Err, WHO HAS BEEN EFFECTIVE
AGAINST PlTTSBURG.

AL the beginning OF the season
nance gave three men for Mcintyre,
the Brooklyn twirler, who always had
been stumbling block for Fred
Clarkes band. Mac won the first
game he pitched against the Pirates.
and the Cub fans howled with glee.
Later on he wasn't so effective.
In Lou Richie the Boston Doves had
a man, who, like Mcintyre, had been
able with a weak team behind him, to
beat the Pirates. Chance nabbed
Richie, trading Roy Miller, an out

of the Doves put Miller into the first
game against the Cubs and doc"

BY the way. while mentioning this
game it might be added that Three
Fingered" Brown was the pitcher for
the Cubs. Brown hasn't been show.
ing great form SO far this season, and
1t was supposed to be sort Of test
for him. When the Doves hammered
out eight hits the Chicagoans were
about ready to believe that Brown may
not be the great twirler this year that
he has been in former seasons. On
the same day st. Louis got seven hits
of Watterson in one inning
The trade for Richie gave the Cubs

It gave him some excellent material
for trading purposes.
Ty Cobb, the spotlight hero Of base.
ball, has learned to smoke. Behind
that statement there is story. Cobb
was reared down in Georgia, but in
spite of that fact he never smoked or
used tobacco in any form until last
season, and he was considered one
of the models of the game in that re.
gard. One day when his batting av.
erage was fading away rapidly, down
toward the 200 mark, he began to
get discouraged. He was hitting the
ball as hard as ever-harder, perhaps,
for he was gritting his teeth and wa
ding into it-but it seemed that he
could not make the ball go safe. He
was sitting modify around the hotel
one night, when Bill Donovan In
formed him gravely that what he
needed was to smoke In order to i'm.
prove his batting eye. Bill produced
a cigar warranted to kill or MAIN at
40 yards, and Cobb lighted it. He
smoked that cigar, survived, and the
next day he got three hits. That set
tied 1t. Within month Cobb was
getting his two and three day and
smoking cigars as fast as he could
consume them. He smokes all the
time now. Whether it Is a coinci
dence or not, look at his batting aver
age.
Within an hour after the sale OF
Pitcher Fulenwider to the Columbia
team of the South Atlantic league, by
Chattanooga, Pitcher Victor Schlitzer
of the Chattanooga fell over a bat
and broke his ankle. He was warm
ing up before the game and acciden
tally stepped on bat. 1t turned with
him and he fell with his weight all
centered on his right ankle, which
was caught under his body. He was
removed to the hospital and physi
clans say it will be three month and
perhaps the entire season before he
is able to play again. Schiller was
purchased from the Boston Americans
Fulenwider will have to go to Column
bia, although he is now wanted by
Chattanooga. Osteen, Montgomery
player, broke leg few days ago.
The Carlisle Indians got so interest
ed in baseball that the college author
tiles were forced to give up the sport
They are so keen over the game that
they did not want to devote any time
to studies at ALL They really felt
hurt when they we're told that they
must attend the classes. Baseball is
supposed to be the great American
game, so it is only natural that the
great American Indian should take up
with it with SO much spirit. Great
athletes are those Indians, and the
way they run the bases is a caution.
Leroy, the Indian pitcher with the
Red Sox, is one of the stars the col.
lege turned out, and Bender of the
| Athletics is another.
Harry Krause, Connie Mack's sen.
sational southpaw, is not being
worked as much as last year, with the
result that he is showing even better
form than then, when he won over
ten consecutive games. Krause is. of
frail physique, and for that reason
cannot be forced, but by using him
about once a week he Is sure to win
large majority of his games. Krause,
like many other pitchers, has the rep.
utation among opposing batters OF
Having nothing and being only
'lucky." That, of course, is absurd,
for his work has shown him to be
great pitcher.
