Scout Billy Murray Sees Few
Good Youngsters.

Pittsburg, Pa, June 25-wiIliam
Murray, the former manager OF the
Philadelphia National League baseball
club, who is now a scout for the Pi-
rates. arrived here Friday morning
after a trip extending over a period
of four weeks, during whichN he looked
over considerable minor league and col
lege material in the hope of finding
something worth while for the local
team. Billy had long talk with
President Barney Dreyfuss, but would
not admit that he had made any recon-
mendations.
Il did not go crazy about any of the
players ! saw" he said. Most of my
time has been devoted to watching col
lege teams perform, and did not visit
many places at that. Did 1 find any
future greats7 Well. IL any existed in

and shall be a much surprised in
dividual II about 90 per cent of the
players that are being bought UP by
major league clubs do not turn out to
be lemons.
This applies particularly to the col
lege boys who are being signed up.
Many of those who have been touted
as wonders do not even know how to
put on a uniform. I saw absolutely
none that appealed to me, and am
beginning to think that college base

used to be on the university circuit

hit games and striking out fifteen to
twenty batsmen in nine innings, but
you would cease TO wonder at these
performances II you could see the bats
men against whom these games are
pitched.
They know very little about the art
Of batting. and it is easy for a pitcher
to fool them. An inferior major league
pitcher could go into these games and
not allow a hit, so do not be surprised
II lot of the college wonders who
have been signed up for big league
clubs explode in a hurry.
There may be a few exceptions, Of
course. For instance, Pittsburg has
picked up a promising proposition in
last year, and he impressed me fav-
orabIy. as he gave a fair exhibition In
spite OF the fact that he was behind In
his studies and was handicapped by
worry and hard work trying to catch
up. He has a good build for a pitcher
and possesses plenty of strength.
LAS for the minor league talent this
year, I have seen none OF exceptionally
high caliber. The big league teams
have better men sitting on their
benches than are to be found In the

CURVE PITCHING IN
AMERICAN LEAGUE

, pitchers are using the curve a good
deal more this season when they have
three balls and two strikes on the
batter. Under these conditions the
batter knows the pitcher will try to
get the next one over. Pitchers gen.
orally have better control of the fast
ball, and last year could take q chance
on having a hit. This year they prefer
trying TO fool the batter with curve
even at the risk OF q base on balls.
'Tn a game I umpired In Boston
Ralph Works passed five. men rather
than pitch the fast ball with three and
two on batters. The catcher signaled
for fast ball each time, but Works
shook his head. He took a chance with
the curve and could not get II over.

ABOLITION OFPOOL SELLING
FAILSTO HURTHORSERACING
Breeding and Industrial Interests Are BeDefited-Sta
tistics Show Vast Interest in notting and Pacing.

The suspension of thoroughbred racing
at the several metropolitan centers has
been severe blow to that interest; and,
while the sundry and several State laws
prohibiting all attendant features OF bet
ting may, on the face OF things, seem 10
have relegated the sport Of kings" to the
discard. a sane review Of all the condi-
tions, which SO prevailed as to demand
the curtailment of certain predatory in
terests, demands popular acclaim OF the
present prohibitive statutes which, though
seemingly drastic, will in good time prove
the salvation OF legitimate racing. Thor
oughbred racing will endure, and with the
management OF the sport once again IN
the control of men to whom the thor
oughbred horse is the product of genera
tions Of intensified hered!ty rather than a
machine of chance. the classic events Of
the running turf, around which are clus-
tered the halo Of tradition and sentiment
will be renewed and the racing glories OF
Ascot, of Derby. of Longchamps' and OF
Melbourne will be rivaled.
Though the thoroughbred interests have
been buffeted by adverse legislation and
their promoters and their devotees have
been driven from pillar to post, the light
harness horse-the trotter and the PAGER
has pursued the even tenor OF its course
and has IN no manner been affected by
the ban imposed upon the betting ring.
This condition Of affairs is due primarily
and solely to the fact that the managers
Of harness racing have ever considered
the betting ring only as an incident to
their racing programme and have not
viewed It as a source Of principal reve-
nue., and wherever the lazy has demanded
the cessation Of the betting incident the
management has bowed gracefully to the
decree and continued its programme as
conducted In previous years, depending
upon the ever-increasing patronage at the
gate.
On account of the glamour Of the rum
ming track the sulky brigade has never
come into its own at the racing centers
where the thoroughbred was so greatly
in evidence, but with the elimination Of
the bookmaker the trotter is gradually
receiving merited recognition not only
where the thoroughbred once reigned su-
preme. but In every city, town, and ham,
let from coast to coast and from the
Canadian wilds to the gulf. The fact that
1.159 professional harness meetings were
held in the United States and Canada
during the racing season OF 1910 conveys
but slight conception of the growth Of
the sport, and there are not included In
this count the hundreds of matinee pro-
grammes and events over the Ice.i Up
ward Of 1900 trotters and PAGERS partici-
pated in these professional and amateur
events, and from this estimate the tre-
mendous investment involved in the con-
duct of the sport can best be conceived.
The following tabulations by States of
harness race meetings. compiled from the
official records, Is most enlightening and
indicates the nationwide interest in the
American light harness horse:

During the season OF 1908 Bert
