DOOMED FOR AXE
Fine Sprint of McAleer's Old Timers
Won't Save Their Necks, Ae-
cording To Grille.
BY ). ED eaiLto.

The recent good playing OF the Ma
tionals will not cause a change OF
policy so far as the future Is concern
ed. The fact that the team as now
made up has won fifteen out Of the
last twenty-five games played Is not
going to bring forth any standpat dec
laration from any of the club officials.
Many of the old faces will not be
found In the local lineup next season.
II IL as good as settled that Wild Con-
roy and Kid Elberfeld, two favorites
with local crowds, are to be cast
adrift. Elberfeld will very likely be-
come manager OF some minor league
team, while Conroy will find berth
In the Eastern league, where his SER
vices have been very much In demand.
But the cleaning out OF old blood will
not end with the departure Of this
pair Gessler Is not to be retained IL
Long and Moeller, the two outfeld re-
cruits, come up to expectations. or
the old guard. Schaefer seems to be
the only one who will hold on to his
job. Germany has played splendid
ball this year and still retains his
speed, and even II he should be sup
planted by a younger man at first base
he would be too valuable to allow to
go elsewhere.
McAleer will have two infield posi-
lions to all. and he will have Morgan,
Foster and Cunningham TO select
from, not TO speak OF Scott and Sheer,
recently secured from Youngstown.
He figures that he should be able TO
fill second and third to advantage
from this material Then there are
virtually two vacant outfeld positions.
Milan, OF course, is fixture, but
Walker probably needs more expert
ence, and Gessler comes under the
same classification with Conroy and
EIberfeld. McAleer believes that he
has the two outfielders wanted in
Moeller and Long. He expects TO add
several young pitchers to his list by
the draft route. but will stand pat
with his three Observation-Disclosures
Star.

Dy iiF WHI6Tt.
Hypnotized by pitched ball, I'M
able TO duck or dodge out OF the way
OF rib-cracking heayes from the pitch
er's box.
That's what's the matter with Frank
Chance. peerless leader" OF the Chi
cago Cubs, who has been out OF the
game much of the season with bad
headaches. Another hypnotized vic
tim OF the pitched ball is Elberfeld,
OF the Washington American league
team. But ElberfelG has not been
driven TO the bench yet.
Chance was "beaned" % times ow-
ing to his inability to get out Of the
way and Elberfeld hasn't counted
smashes.
Both men have painstakingly ex.
planned 10 the members OF their own
teams and to other players that they
can not dodge an approaching ball.
For time this talk was accepted as
an excuse, designed to let them
crowd the plate, but as time went
by, the fact that IL was the truth be-
came apparent. Their team mates took
Il for granted that the men were for
some reason, helpless TO move.
Chance and Elberfeld set themselves
at the plate fat footed, In such man
ner that they are unable to step for
ward or backward quickly to escape
the ball. Many others do the same,
but the pair named carry 1t farther.
They are unable to dodge. to escape
the ball.
Grover c. Alexander. this seasons
leading National league pitcher. told
me the Philadelphia pitchers were
cautioned early In the year not TO
pitch In, when Chance was at bat, as
he could not get away from the ball.
"T have been very careful when
Chance was at bat" said Alexander.

because I did not want to take
chances"
Which shows that baseball isn't half
as bad as some would have US believe.
Hereafter when you read about pitch
ers who bean" a dangerous batter
to scare him, take 1t with a grain OF
salt
The testimony Of other National
league pitchers bears out Alexander's
statement.
Connie Mack says that when, at
first, Elberfeld was hit 80 often the
umpires refused TO let him have his
base unless he was hit hard enough to
take away the suspicion that he was
trying to let the ball Craze him. The
"Tabasco Kid" was accused of letting
the ball hit him In order to get his
base.
I'VE argued with Elberfeid, asking
him why he permitted himself to be
hit so often and he would say, Hon.
est, fellows, I can't help II. I 60 up
there every day determined to duck
when see the ball coming at me, but
can't get away from II. It's just as II
I was hypnotized."
This explains why the American
league pitchers have heen unable to
drive the kid" away from the plate
At bat Elberfeld crowds the plate until
he Is over the danger line. Pitchers
have tried for years to drive him back
and despite the fact that his rms
have been. at times, so tender from
stopping pitched balls that he scream
ed from pain when they we're mas
saged. he did not change his batting
position.
In time the pitchers learned that
Elberfeld could not get away from tne
ball and as In the case OF Chance, they
now try to keep the ball away from
him
