CANTILLON is TRICKED
Washington Manager Fooled at
His Own Game.
Elevates Pitchers Box So That White
Sox TWrlers Couldn't Get Ball
Over Plate-Comskey
Lowers His.

Long ago, when the world was
young" says Joe Cantillon, once man.
ager of Washington, Charlie Comis-
key and were running rival teams in
the old Western league, and what we
didn't plan in the way OF jobs and
tricks upon each other wasn't worth
putting in the Book of Frauds. | al
ways figured the great-hearted Comis-
key as my legitimate meat, and he
soon learned few things on his own
account, so that the score was kept
fairly even as the days went by.
"One time, when Commy's team
was slated for series on my grounds,
a really great idea struck me. In
those days there were no rules re-
stricting the height of the pitching
mound, and some awful elevations
were constructed round the circuit.
resolved on making hill such as no
pitcher ever used before, and made
it, too. The ground-keeper at my park
built up mountain, and trained my
hurlers on that mountain every morn
ing for four days. When Comiskey's
gang arrived they We're dumfounded to
see that Mount Whitney of pitching

and with my pitchers grinning down at
them. But they kicked in vain; there
was no rule to stop me, and the game
began. For three days we had rich
fun with Commy's men. My pitchers
sent the ball swooping downward with
a speed and an angle of direction that
they couldn't touch, while Commy's
pitchers, unused to such an altitude,
were helpless, hitting the batters on
the feet and rebounding the ball from
the turf for wild pitches.
I'VE arrived in Comiskey's burg two
weeks later, and l felt pretty sure
that we had a cinch. No matter how
the old Roman might elevate his
pitching mound, he couldn't fool us,
for my pitchers were all trained to
the hill work, and could not be ratified
or put to the bad, even if they were
asked to throw from the summit of a
steeple. But when we got to Commy's
field we let go one long, lingering yell
OF anguish and despair. We We're
tricked, beaten, flim-fammed and
skinned alive.
Immediately after his return from
my town, so it seems, Comiskey got
busy with his plans for dark re-
venge. He had his groundkeeper dig
a grave at the pitchers slab-an eX-
cavation about up to the hips of the
average man-and then he trained his
curving force, day by day, to that
most difficult of feats-throwing up
hill. 1t is awful labor, but, of course,
a man can learn to do it, and by the
time we appeared in the vicinity they
all had it down to perfection. Can
you imagine the finish?
MY pitchers, trained to throwing
downward from a mountain, were alb
solutely done. They couldn't get the
ball anywhere near the batters and
man after man walked, while the few
feeble losses that came over the
plate were batted half mile. For
three days the carnage went on and
we were trimmed II to 2, II to and
II to 5. Then Comiskey and ! got to-
gether, agreed to restore our pitching
slabs to their normal altitude and
never again to try anything on each
other"

stead of being sent to the bench it
might be that the team would rally as
quickly behind him as it would behind
fresh pitcher, and it frequently has
been demonstrated in baseball that a
pitcher may be hit hard in one inning
and after that hold a team to almost
nothing.
