Hill Crevier Battle To Be

Two club members, who are
too degnified to allow their names

dispute over baseball in six
round contest before the Tacoma
Athletic club this evening.
They will weigh about 100 pounds
each and are out for blood. One
is styled Long Grudge" and the
other ''Lean Grudge." Secretary
Harry Andrews says this will be
one of the big bouts on the pro-
gram. They have been arguing
that baseball question until it has
come to a point where one must
settle the matter by handing a
sleep powder to the other. Both
are confident and know a little
something about boxing.
That Joe Hill and Leo Crevier

that pitching has not improved.
When / broke into baseball, all
a pitcher needed was smoke"
AS a matter of fact, that was all
had, and made good from the
jump.
Now, to be successful, a pitch
er must, first of all, have control.
He must know the weakness of
each batter. He needs a change
of pace, fast one and a slow one
to be anywhere near the top, and
he must include curve ball In
his stock.
And just as long as men think.
the game will improve. 1t is on
ly natural that 1t should do SO.

Baseball Has Improved, Says
Cy Young, and 1t Will Keep On
BY Cy Young.

ny W louuS.
There is no denying that base
ball has improved since l entered
the game 23 years ago. Perhaps
there hasn't been SO much i'm
provement in the individual play
ers as some may imagine, but
there has been a big change in
team play.
There really Is no way to tell
whether individuals have improv-
ed or not. In horse races and
athletics we have records which
indicate whether there has been
improvement, but in baseball we
have nothing of the kind.
We cannot prove, for instance.
whether a pitcher like Walter
johnson has more speed than
Amos Rusie had In his palmy
days. 1t is merely a matter of
opinion whether our best infield-
ers are better than the men of a
quarter of century ago.
But in team play there is no
chance for an argument. You no
longer see outfielders rooted to
one spot. For almost every bat
ter they change positions, and, dn
fact. knowledge of the batters is
almost half the game.
Bnfielders use their brains
more than they used to. 1t is NO
hit-or-miss arrangement which
man will cover second on an at
tempted steal; it's clockwork for
the second baseman to cover first
on a sacrifice. Nothing is being
overlooked to make the game
better and faster.
Do not imagine, for a minute

BEES DOPE

Mike Lynch Is going to have a
fat and fancy batting average at
the end of this season and he will
finish near the top in the out
fielder's score. Whether you like
him or not, give him credit for
playing one of the best games OF
ball in the league. "Pop-up
Mike" is a sacriligeous statement
nowadays.
How old is Lynch? 1t has al

Next to heavy and safe hitting
stealing bases Is one of the big
things in a ball game. The run

BY Ty Cobb

II a youngster wants to learn
how to bat, the first thing he
ought to do is to watch how the
best batters work. Study their
style, watch how they hold them
selves, notice the way they hold
their bats and how they swing
them. There. Is a reason for ev-
cry movement that a first-olass
batter makes, and you will find
out that reason for yourselves IL
you initiate them.
OF course, the most important
thing In batting is your eye.
Some eyes seem to be naturally
formed for the judging of dis
lance and speed. but training will
do great deal. II it Is at all pos
sfble 20 get good coach II will
help a lot. but a boy who works
hard will get there IL he has IL
in him.
Aside from hitting. sliding Is
one OF the most important points
of the game. In this, as In bat
ting, the best way to learn Is to
watch fellows do 1t who know
how.
II you want to be q good bail
player remember TO keep yourself
in good physical condition, as
this Is absolutely necessary, and
