All things being apparently equal.
why are some pitchers SO much SUI
perior to others? Watch them during
the warm-up period, and there APP
pears to be little If any difference in
the speed and urves. Put them into
the game and the difference immedi-
otely asserts itself. 1t Is the test un-
der fre that proves the relative merits
of the boxmen.
Lots Of people labor under the i'm
preston that speed. curves and
strength are the necessary requisites
OF a great pitcher. True. few pitchers
acquire greatness unless they have
plenty OF speed and a good curve, yet
those two assets are far from being
the most essential. I know any
number Of pitchers who possess ter
rifle speed. who are the masters of an
assortment Of puzzling curves yet
they are only mediocre when put to
the test. I could name a dozen pitt
chers who appear to have nothing, yet
they must be classed as really great
itwirlers.
A brain that is able to think quick
by. a heart of oak and a good DISPOSE
ton are even more essential to good
pitching than speed and curves. There
are lots of twirlers who are unhittable
In batting practice, but who have
nothing when SEN to the mound.
There arc many pitchers who are
wonders just as long as the bases arc
the sacks get populated. Many go
along smoothly just as long as their
support remains intact: but a few
lerrors will cause them to establish new
latitude records. These pitchers have

F0GELs HEARING

Interesting Baseball Litiga-

End Of Month.

A baseball litigation without proco-

closing days Of tho month. Notice has
oes:1 sorvod on Horace g. Fogel. pest
dent and estensible owner Of the Phil
adolphia National league club. that he
must appear before the organization
to which his club belongs to justify his
formal charges that uynpiros named by
President Lynch are largely crooked
ana that Il wns through their instru-
mentality that New York was able to
win the National league pennant this
year.
Players prior to this time have been
accused Of ir%regularity. and way back
in the early stages of the game 1t was
the courageous action Of President
Hurlburt in obtaining the blacklist Of
four men proved Of crooked relations
with gamblers that saved the repura-
ton OF the game and placed 1t in a
position of public regard that brought
about its present amazing popularity.
been called on to meet charges.
It is said that Mr.. Fogel Is not &C.
tually a club owner. Before he came
into possession Of the controlling in
terest Of the team he was a newspa-
per man without mean other than a
not-excessive salary. In manner
largely like that by which Charles
Webb Murphy obtained control OF the
Chicago National. league club. and
largely with the aid OF that successful
promoter, Fogel suddenly dazed the
baseball world by purchasing the
Phillies from the coterie Of politicians
who owned 1t.
It. was then whispered and has since
been openly stated that h sale was
on paper only, and that he real owner
was Charles p. Taft. half-brother OF
the president. The Cincinnati mil.
lionaire. 1t vas said. held notes Of
Fogel's covering. the entire value OF
the club.
This viewpoint was strengthened
when announcement was made that
the grounds on which the club plays
its games had been purchased by Mrs.
Charles p Taft.
Fogel made himself prominent by
inaugurating a campaign to displace
Mr.. Lynch as chief executive OF the
National league. He made charges
against umpires. wrote letters and is
sued statements that actually I'M
pugned the integrity Of the game.
When in Chicago Fogel gave q letter
to a newspaper in which he definitely
charged twenty-one games had been
thrown to New York by the ruling OF
umptres. Then Lynch asked his
league whether It was content to per-
NIT this stigma to be placed on It's
methods. He was instructed to draw
up formal charges. which he did. and
FoRel must answer November 20.
