ED GRILL0 SAYS SLOW
BALL. is OVERLOOKED

Ed GTillo, the eastern ball critic, says
that a change of pace in which pitcher
serves a slow ball now and then is the
correct menu from the box nowadays.
He says:
Perhaps the most successful delivery
in baseball is a change of pace. by
which the pitcher throws slow ball to
the plate with exactly the same motion
as he delivers his fast or curve. The
effect of this slow bah is that the bat
ter expecting to hit a ball which Is COM
ing with terrific speed, is off of his
stride when the ball gets within reach,
and either misses IL entirely or offers
an easy chance. Strange to say, one
sees but few pitchers these days who
use the slow ball once in a while one
sees the effort made, but it is seldom
and before the pitchers were fooling
the pitchers relied chiefly on their
change of pace for effectiveness. There
were Griffith. Callahan. McGinnity
Donohue MathewsOn, and score of
others who mastered this delivery and
used il to great advantage. Nowadays
IL is only occasionally that one finds
a pitcher who uses ii in a game, though
most of them can show you how it
should be done.
1t is absolutely necessary that
pitcher have confidence in his slow ball
1t requires a bit of nerve to offer one
of these Looping balls to a crack batsman
and vet they are harder TO hit than all
the speed that a pitcher can command,
providing the slow one is judiciously
used

RABBIT STURGEON GETS
4'CAN" At SPOKANE

Spokane. April 22.-The first cut of
the season for the Spokane baseball
squad took place this morning, when
Manager COIN and Captain Ostdiek de-
cided to turn Rabbit" Sturgeon and
Wishman over to the Medicine Hat team
of the Twilight league, and SmithsOns
the sOuthpaw pitcher. was farmed out
to the Moose Jaw club of the same
league.
Arrangements are completed today
for the men to join the Northern league
clubs, but the Spokane club will hold
a string on the players and pull them
back again in the fall to take another
work out with the tribe in the hopes
of developing them into regulars.
Sturgeon has been showing great
class this spring. and looks Ike one of
the best youngsters in this section of
the country. He fields well and is
strong all the time with the war club.
Wishman has shown himself to be a
strong fielder and pitcher, and in the
closing games here last fall he slapped
the ball in Al form.
Smithson came to Spokane with
great record behind him, but was up
a gainst a hard proposition. with so
many strong veterans on the pitching
staff sfd Cohn found that he would
hardly have use for the star yOunster
until the close of the season at least.
The three youngsters will report to
the Twilight teams at once and get
started with the organization imme-
diateIV.

with last, with 4 points. The meet was,
perhaps, one of the slowest class meets
ever held at the university. The day
was cold and the wind was blowing so
that il was impossible to make any
kind of time in the events Hhe prin-
eipal feature was the fact that the
freshman class was so exceptionally
strong in all events. The other classes
had lost most of their good men in for
mer years, so that for real competition
between the respective classes there
was scarcely any.
The principal result of the meet,
however was the fact that II Drought

What Stage Found.

Chicago, April 22.-Coach A. Stagg of
the University of Chicago proved the
efficiency OF Walter Camps new foot
ball suggestions for opening up the
game and lessening mass play in his
second session of laboratory gridiron
experiments yesterday at Marshall
field.
The team gave a fairly smooth exhi-
bition of open football. using the re-
cent notifications and MIR. Camps pro-
posaI to limit the defense scrimmage
line to the same length as the offense.
Stage said the practice confirmed
him in his belief that Camps proposed
change will result in more end running
and less heavy mass play. With the
double line of defense limited TO the
length of the offensive scrimmage line,
the players resorted 10 wide end runs
and open field play almost constantly,
illustra ting the greater scoring oppor-
tunitiCs under the new conditions. Big
gains were made by the quarterhacks
through the line under the new rule
abolishing the five-yard provisions for
players receiving the ball from the
snapper back. The play usually caught
the defense asleep and went through
easily.

g AHH RE(INNIN( To TEII IN MA HRS


Early this season Washington was
seen at the head of the American
league. place the Nationals reach
about once in every five years. This
sensation of leading topnoteh club
has been borne by Jim McAleer. the
new manager of the Washington team,
for he is wise TO the fact, with every
one else in the baseball world, that
Washington isn't going to stay with the
leaders very Iong. If there were a few
more pitchers. of the Walter Johnson
type you would find Washington bat
ting some. but there Is but one Walter
Johnson and he can't do four mems
pretty fair chance of losing about
three out OF every four games.
The national capital is g. city unique
in the baseball world. 1t is one of the
few towns that will support losing
team. and this is due doubtless to the
fact that there are so many out Of
town visitors in Washington at all
times that crowds are drawn just for
peep at a big league game II the Wis
itor happens TO live in the bushes or
because some citizen of a major league
town wants to see his own team play.
Since the capital city was admitted
to the league in 1902, 1t has held on to
seventh or eighth place religiously.
1t was a sovereign right of the Ma
tionals and there was disappointment
when the club finished in sixth place
in 1902. fully so points ahead OF the
seventh place Detroit team. But this
was the first year, and since then one
OF the last two places has been held.
McAleer has a hard task before him at
Washington. His infield doesn't touch
the others in the American league,
neither does his Outfield, while with the
exception of Johnson. the pitchers all
have something TO show to make them
look very good, although Charley

Berger, while coming out of the
clinches, frequently landed a right up
percut. This is one of JOhnson's ia
vorite punches and Berger employed it
whenever possible with a view to
coaching Jeffries in blocking IL.
Joe Choynski was an interested spec
tator of the sparring. He expressed
himself as being quite surprised at
Jeffries physical Improvements but
said he believed the boilermaker need
ed some good, stiff boxing bouts to put

In addition to the boxing. Jeffries
went through his usual routine of road
work and gymnasium practice, covering
II miles on his morning run, with two
sessions of handball later and a Wig

won both handbali games, against Sam
