TO JUDGE A PITCHER
Only Way Is to See Him in Ac-
 ton, Says Mcclure.
TwIrIer May Have Everything In Practice, only to "HIow" When i. the Real Test comes-Fioht
 ing Spirit Is What Counts.

"The only way to tell anything about a pitcher is to see him pitch, said Jim Mcclure in response to a ques- tion as to what he thought of some of the youngsters of the Tiger squad These boys have all the actions of pitchers 80 far as any one can see from the practice stunts, but until they have been under fire I decline to pass final judgment on them.
 ITO my mind the ideal athlete Is the one who is best when the neces- sity for being strong is greatest. It's that old fighting spirit that counts There are lots of fellows who are wonders in practice, no matter what line of sport they may be engaged in. But parlor boxers seldom are fighters, and many fine warm-up pitchers fall down terribly when they come to face the music iii regular game.
 Many time l have warmed up have seen pitcher display. Speed, curves, control and everything else would be theirs and l would feel con ldent that they would be able to win that day If we got them couple of runs Then these fellows would go out to the center of the diamond and show me about half o9 what they had displayed in warming up prac- tice.
 Tt isn't always lack of gameness that accounts for pitchers failure to do as well In game as in practice Some of the men are so anxious to win that they work themselves into q stew. There are plenty of fellows who are game yet can't do their best when they want to. It seems to be sort of 8 baseball instinct that en- ables the great pitcher to rise to the emergency. He has that fighting spirit but at the same time keeps his head cool
 The youngsters of the Detroit squad might pitch great ball wher handing them up to the batters 1T practice with nothing depending or the outcome of the sluggers' efforts and yet fall down against even ; mediocre club in regular game. 1 have seen 1t repeatedly happen tha twirler would make the batsmen o strong American league club loo badly when he was pitching to ther in practice and then let some class or college nine hammer him all owe the place"

MADE DECISION UNDER FIRE
Umpire John Hayes of Virginia Leauua Compelled .> .> .a...s~5 a.s5 Ruling
 DlspIeaslnp to Fans.

Umpire John R. Hayes of the Vir- ginia league tells of decision he once had to make that made him wish some other indicator holder was on the job, He doesn't say what town 1t was in for certain reasons. but doubtless the fans who took live in terest in it will recall the circum- stances Hayes tells it as follows
 The home team came to bat in the last half of the ninth with the score 2 to 0 against them, and it had been a hard-fought game, With two down 1t filled the bases and the next hitter came up and hit the ball against the center field fence for what would ordi- narily have been home run that would have won the game right there. However, in hitting the ball he ran out of the batter's box to meet it be- fore the curve broke As soon as he hit the ball I called him out and the home team lost the game, to 0. Well. there was some excitement, and the things the crowd called me can't be printed In fact. I still hate to even visit that town. for the aeeii= sion is still fresh in the minds of the people"

Jack Barry, shortstop of Champion Athletics.

Americas two national games, base ball and draw poker, are a lot alike In lot of ways, as might be expect ed. There is much bluffing and much saying one thing and meaning anoth- CT in both of them.
 A smart player is likely to pull anything at any time. and much of this fine stuff Is wasted on the fans.
 remark may change the whole trend of the game.
 Jack Barry pulled such a remark for the Athletics last year. 1t was the ninth inning of an important game. and the score was 2 to 1 in fa- vor Of the Mackmen. A fast runner reached first, and as the case was desperate he lit out for second. The throw to Barry was wretched, and as the runner slid into second the ball sped over Barry's head. If the run ner found out that the ball was roll ing to the outfield. which he had not, because of his slide, he could scram- ble to his feet and make third. So Barry turned calmly to the umpire and said, unconcern edly: I'd av' had him, Bill. if I'd held the ball"
 The runner judged from the off hand utterance that the ball was right at Barry's feet. Before the coachers could wake him up to the real situ- ation, the ball had been regained by the center fielder The next batter hit long fly, on which the runner could have scored if he had reached third. The next one flied out, and the game was over Barry by saying one thing and meaning another, had stalled off a tic.
 Kid Elberfeld was ever qnick thinker and a great strateglst Once last year, while he was with Wash ington, the Senator pitcher was hurt making the third out in an early in- ming. The Washington club was in the lead. It was cinch if there was time to get a pitcher ready. McAleer sent out man to warm up, but his chances looked bad, for the first Washington batter hit the ball and was out, while the second fouled out on the third ball pitched. Elberfeld

MAKES ANSON PEEWSH
Manager Jennings Recalls Play
 CTS Duplicit,.
Arle Latham, Famous as Clown of National Game, Puts Up Job on Former Manager of Champion
 Chicago National Team.

Hugh Jennings of the Detroit Tigers recently recalled the famous cumming of the cards in Pop Ansons great baseball play of years ago. It was a tale of player duplicity upon public idol and was told as follows:
 Pop in the show was a young dia- mond hero who had set his heart on winning the fair young girl whose "pa" was worth million. In the last act he won his bride by lamming the ball out for a home run, thereby win ming a pennant for his team and saw ing the fortune for "pa." As he raced over the plate with the winning tally the girl jumped from the grand stand and threw her arms around his manly neck, murmuring. "Muh herol"
 It went" great until the manager conceived the great idea in New York of holding a baseball night" The Ma tional league meeting was on and many of the stars of that day were around the hotels. The manager de- cided to invite them to take part in the great home-run scene, letting them act as players on the field. The show was widely advertised and great crowd turned out to see such men as Willie Keeler, Arlie Latham, Johnny McGraw, Hughie Jennings and others in the cast Jennings tells the story Of what followed
 Latham would have his joke" ex- plains Hughie. "He fixed it all up with Keeler, who played third base in the show that night. The perform ance went all right until the last set, when Pop was to make his great home run hit.
 Pop walloped the ball and started on his run around the sacks. AS he rounded third Keeler stuck out his foot and ripped him. He sprawled on all fours. Before he could get his balance again and reach home they had thrown the ball to the plate. If I remember rightly, Wilbur Robinson was catching. He was in on the deal They tagged poor Pop. Arlie Latham was acting as umpire.
 You're out" ArlIe shrieked.
 Pop sprang to his feet with flrG in his eye He roared so that ht shook the house. Never at his mad dest was he wilder on the ball field. I'm not out he yelled desperate ly, trying to catch Latham's eye t' tell him how the act should go.
 You're ont Arlie insisted.
 ''The girl had thrown herself iron the stand to wrap her arms arounC her hero's neck, which by this time was about as red as raw beef "'Get off the field or I'll send yoI to the cIubhouse!' Arlie roared, ant that was the last straw. They rang down the curtain.
 Pop wouldn't speak to the boys fol several seasons after that little incl dent"
