DOES NOT CARE TO BAT

Monroe. La, March 1s.-The rara.
avis of the baseball kingdom has been
discovered here in the camp of the IT,
gers. He is a ball player who doesn't
care to bat: in fact doesn't even swing
a club and stand around wishing for a
chance Furthermore, the man isn't
a bush-league pitcher but a veteran
ball player who has been known as a
good sticker and a wonderful pinch
performer. This unusual player is
none other than Joe Sugden, the De-
troit tiger coach.
Joe came south to give Hughie Jen-
nings the benefit of his experience in
one certain line. He was glad of the
chance and he has been doing nothing
but the one thing for which he came.
From the moment Joe arrives on the
field, until the last of the colt pitchers
leaves on his jog for the club house
half mile away, Joe does nothing but
act as a receiver general for the shoots
of the youngsters interspersing til ?
meanwhile an amount of sage advice
and comment
"Hit? Why I don't come down here
to hit said Joe 1--WE had my day at
that, and it's past. I'm tending to work
and staying away from the plate
where I'd only be keeping some real
bali player on the idle list"

This IS YOUNG'S LAST

Hot Springs, Ark, March In the
hope of making his last year in base
ball average up to the years In which
he did his best pitching, old Cy Young
of the maps is developing spit ball
upon which he will place his main re-
lance this season. Young confided
this to one of the Cincinnati players
on Friday.
Old Cy says this will positively be
his last year in baseball and that he
intends to work his head off to make
1t one that win be remembered. Young
used the splitter the latter part of the
season of 1908 and occasionally dur
ing the last two years while working
with the maps.
"If Cy uses the splitter and is able
to handle 1t the way he hopes to, he
should have a grand year." said Catch
er Mig Clarke on Friday. "He will be
the hardest spit ball pitcher in the
league to hold because of his great
speed but will also be the hardest to
hit

STAR CATCHERS
ARE A RARITY

Boston, March 17.-Throwng catch
ers and high-class first basemen are
growing very scarce. For some rea-
son the catchers lack the strong
throwing arms they displayed several
years ago. 1t may be caused by the
lack Of work or by the fact the i'm
portance of holding the base runners
close to first, but the fact is that the
sharp line throwing of the stars of the
past is seldom duplicated by the back
stops Of the present time.
For some reason the ball players
arms are not so strong as in years
gone by 1t may be that the boys start
too early. and their wings grow weak
Whatever it is, the fact remains that
the fine throwing catcher is nod a VAL
liable asset to "a ball team, and the
magnates are hunting for a new crop
The first basemen also are growing
scarce. The pace set by few men
has made it trying on the ordinary
player endeavoring to hold up his end
at first base. With Hal Chase, and
Fred Tenney, all left-handers, showing
the way and Chance setting the pace
for the ight-handers. it's no cinch Job
at the present time to satisfy even the
fan critic, who is close observer of
the work of infielders.
Holding thrown ball is now the
simplest play at first base. The men
must be a ground coverer, as at sec
ond, or short, a fast and accurate
throWer, and be able to gather in fast
and slow grounders on the dead rim
In fact the time has come when the
