AS Frank Schultz remarked to
Harry Lumley one day: "Lum, If you
had a million dollars, you'd hire the
best pitchers in the country and make
them take turns pitching to YOU"
Cap" Anson, leader of the famous
old White Stockings, was one of the
hardest and most faithful trainers ever
at the head of ball club. His system
of conditioning consisted largely of
running. Ned Hanlon also was a be-
liever in running to reduce weight
strengthening the legs and add speed.
Both Of them blundered sadly because
they seldom adapted the training to
the individual, and gave the 140-pound
athlete the same prescription they
forced upon the 200-pound fat men.
Hanlon, when managing the Cincin-
natl club, came near running one Of
the greatest of pitchers-Orval Over
abby ordering him to run around
the ball park ten times every morning
Overall was big, but not fat, and the
running so weakened him he never
pitched good ball for that club.
Arms and legs, to the present-day
ball player, are what complexion is
10 a woman, and they devote more
time and care to them. The attention
bestowed upon a throwing arm by a
player after his second or third year
of training passes belief. and one who
has suffered an attack Of Charley

between his arm and his legs.

The Double Meaning of High Price.

In his article in the September Nc
Clure's on "The Increasing Cost of
Living, Henry Smith Williams says Of
the present high prices:
"As purchaser you will be irritated
perhaps out-and- out angered-when
you find that your gold piece is so
little thought of that it will only buy
three pecks Of wheat, or four pounds
of stake, or three pounds of butter, or
three dozen eggs. But II, on the other
hand, you chance to be a producer of
wheat and meat and butter and eggs,
you will view the matter more COM
placently, so far, at least, as these
commodities are concerned. And, ex-
tending the application, whatever the
thing you have to sell, be it commodi-
ty or skill or knowledge, you will
probably not be displeased to reflect
that 1t now represents the equivalent
of more money that 1t did few years
ago. In other words, the high prices
that seem so annoying when you wish
to buy something from your neighbor
are far from annoying when applied to
the thing you have to sell. You dis
like exceedingly topay % cents pound
for meat; but you are not displeased
at being expected to charge SO, let us
say, as your professional fee for a
service to the butcher that you former
ly rendered at 81.

"The Old Gag" play christened
and used by Anson's infield when
Pfener and Burns and Williamson
were helping invent plays, was one
which taught the succeeding genera
tions of players how a man caught
between bases should be run down.
With the White Stockings never more
than three men were allowed In the
play, and to the present time all man.
ayers direct their men to play 1t
that way. one man chasing the run
ner down near the man guarding the
base, and then tossing the ball to him
and, when the baseman turns the
runner back, the one who has been
pursuing him, fall in to guard the base
Thus both avenues of escape are
closed, and a fresh runner is always
ready to pursue the firing man. The
White Stocking inf1eld worked "the
Old Gag" to tire out pitchers of the
opposing team and won many games
through that alone. They would play
TO let the pitcher get good start, and
when they caught him between bases
lHty ran ulul W SldNt vi tAuduollOhi
refusing to touch him until he sur
rendered from sheer WEAKNESS. They
caught Rusie once-but the big pitcher
refused to run, and throwing both
hands above his head trotted to the
bench without waiting to be touched.
There Is nothing that steadies a
pitcher and a defensive team, or stops
an attacking club quicker than to
catch a runner asleep on the bases
in a critical moment
In this particular Of catching run
ners in the crucial moments of games
John King was the greatest in the
business. His ability and his GOODNESS
in that style of play alone was enough
TO stamp him the best Of catchers.
King probably did not catch as many
runners in season as some other
catchers did, but he caught them al
ways at the right moments, when they
counted, and scores of games won by
the Cubs during their championship
