"Artie" Linton. who plays centre On

in the game between his team and the

by the fast Brooklynites. The SCORE VA
IL TO 2 in the Crescents' favor.
Shirref was out for a record, too, end
he made five goals out of the eight
scored by the Cresceuts In the FIRST half.
Both he and Linton we're very accurate
In their shooting.
Although the st. Nicks played any
thing but good hockey. II was clearly 20
be seen that the Crescent team In much
stronger h a last season. n that the
New York A. c. seven will have to play
a lot faster than they did against che
Hockey Club IL they expect to beat out
the quarter mooners'' for the trophy.
In last nights game the Crescents'
team work was about on . par with
what the Winged-Footers have been
showing in that line. Their forwards
were very fast, n II they develop a
stronger defense the Crescents will b
about the strongest team we have ser

HOSE fans who have felt sorry

have wondered how they stood
up under the W. hours strain on their
arms might ~ well put their sympa--
thies on the shelf. According TO Arthur
Irwin, the veteran scout for tho High
landers and one time manager OF the
Giants, pitchers have less trouble Win
their arms than tho players In any other
position. In this ne Is backed up by
Christy M~athewson. who returned from

This rather interesting statement by
Irwin. and he has made It repeatedly.
was challenged by Arlis Latham, who
also claims to know something about
bad arms. Arlie's arm got so bad
toward the end OF his career that he
couldn't throw a ball across the dia-
mond. and he cannot to this day. AZ
any rate Latham took the opposite side
Of the question and that brought on
the confab that attracted quite a crowd
of the colony OF baseball men who win
ter In New York.
Latham started II by making the broad
assertion that pitching was more wear
ing on the muscles In a mans bod,
than the work required in n Other
position on the diamond.

PITCHER USUALLY STAYS IN GAME
LONGER THAN ANY OTHER PLAYER

that the pitchers usually last longer
than any other players Records were
recalled to bear out this statement. one
OF which showed that old "Cy' Young
has been In the game for more than
twenty years. Another was Vic Wills,
VINO has been bending curves over the
/ late almost as long. Then there IL
Deacon Phillippi OF Plttsburg. who has
been In big league harness more than
fifteen years. Al Orth was a pitcher
for more than fifteen years. and the
same can be said OF Bill Dineen. The
pitchers, as a rule, last on ar average
four years longer than the infelders.
and that looked like a clincher for
Irwin.
b Just then Matty blew In 20 shake
hands and tell about his hunting trip.
"How about this. Matty?" spoke up
Latham. do o think pitchers last
longer than other players"'
Certainly" replied Matty. AT least.
their arms last longer than those OF in
1elders. Your arm Is a good example.
Arlie. Did you eve see a pitcher whose
arm got TO where he couldn't throw at
all?"
That may be true agreed Latham.
out how do you account for Il? You
know. tho pitcher uses his arm more"
"Tve thought OF that. and still I agree
with Arthur" replied Matty. In my
opinion the answer Is simple. The
pitcher never uses his arm except when
he IS ready. In other words, he never
throws a ball when his arm isn't warm.
He Ii working all the time. and conse-
quently his arm remains warm. He al
ways warns up before he goes In the
box. His arm never gets the sudden
jerks that frequently occur to innelders.
