and the reason is clear If my pitchers

feats can be avoided. A fielder can be
developed in time, for practice makes
perfect. but YOU cannot make a hitter
out Of a man who knows nothing OF
the science of batting In the first place
a good hitter must have nerve and con-
tidenoe. Then comes quick eye and
knack of swinging at the ball at the
proper moment. Once a batsrnan gets
it into his head that he Is weak with the
stick he's useless. Much depends upon
how he :s criticised by the newspapers
and fans. Encouragement does a world
of good. for some players must be made
to believe they are great stickers before
they are willing to believe it. Pop Arson
used to say that hitters were born, not
made afterward. and he was dead right
, Frank Selee had the same idea, and that
was why he handled winning teams. He
wasted no time with fellows that couldn't
hit and therefore. having got together
team OF sluggers, he bolstered up the
other end by getting effective pitchers
That is the principle l am following with
the Sox, and in another year I'll have
a pennant winner. It's the same idea
followed by Connie Mack and John Nc
Graw, and it's just good common sense

McGraw hasn't a catcher who would

Mickey WEIGH were better pitchers than
Wiltse, Drucke and crandall. Roger Con-

how to play second with more skill than

PHILADELPHIA. June 12.-"Toots"
Shultz, former captain of the Penn base
ball team, and a pitcher on the Phillies'
staff. will leave tonight to join the Buff
falo Eastern League team in Montreal
Wednesday. ShultZ goes with a string
attached, and after season in the fast
minor league, will rejoin the Quakers
next fall.
Shutz had a wonderful record with
Penn during his college career. but in
his few trials against National League
teams failed to battle the batsmen.
Manager Doom attributed it to faulty
delivery. which, it is believed. "Toots'
can correct under the tutorage of
George Stallings, former manager of
the New York Americans. who is now
leading the "Bisons.
It is rumored that AID Brennan. the
Phillies southpaw. will also join an
Eastern League team. probably Buffalo.
ALTHOUGH no announcement has been
made as yet. Both ShultZ and Brennan
are pitchers of promise whom Doom ex-
poets will develop.
