MANY WAYS TO
WORK PITCHERS
PROBLEM OF WORKING BoxME
ONE OF THE HARDEST BASE
BALL MANAGERS HAVE
TO SOLVE.


Chicago. October THE choice OF
pitchers-how To select the men TO
send against the various hostile teams
and in what rotation 10 wcrl; them
has always been one of the toughest
problems for a captain, and, in this
city of scientific ball, with all the ac-
companying frills, it is becoming stil
harder.
Here are three lines OF procedure
open to a captain, and each line has
its special advantages, with special
second To work the best pitchers
in regular rotation. never varying eX-
cent i'm case of illness or disability
second, to work the best pitchers
against more powerful teams, givin'
the tailenders over to the weaker slab
men, and, third, to work the good
pitchers against the feebler CLUBS
trusting To team strength and game
ness to carry the weaker hurlers to
victories over the topnotchers.
I AS side issues to those problems
must be considered the ACCESSIBILITY OF
rsinr tho loft -bonder of the club
against teams with number OF LETT q
handed batsmen and of working the
right handlers on the reverse OF the
same principle; also, the wisdom NJ
using certain pitchers against clups
which they are supposed to have "buf-
faloed." or of keeping other pitchers
out OF reach of certain teams that al
ways fail them savagely.
Il is complex and many-sided
proposition and the manager who can
solve It most successfully is the fell
low who can win a barrel of games
even with pitching STAFF of really in
ferior value.
The scheme OF working men in reg
ular order. irrespective of any side Is
sues. works well when the staff Is
evenly balanced but the plan is sho'
fun of holes when the staff is compos'
ed of men whose skill is widely varied
or when some one OF the pitchers
IS an invariable mark for any particu'
lar club. 1t win only go through sue
cessfuliy when the men are all on al
even plane of ability and enjoy equal
~ the confidence and enthusiastic
backing of the fleldcrs.
Many managers believe ii saving tn
greater pitchers for the grim battles
with the topliners. figuring that th'
weaker pitchers. With good supper
behind them, viii dispose of the tail
enders. The plan works well when tn
tailenders are really feeble sisters Blu
in a close race. where even the seventh
place team will stand as high as .4O'
this will never do. The tailenders II
such struggle are but the faintes'
shade easier to whip than the cham
pions. and will evcrlastingly what
the tar out of the softer hurlers.
The reverse idea-using the hes
pitchers to NOW down the tailen'
teams. and thus harvest big crop o
games. while the strength and homes

TO take fair quota OF decision from
