Manager Chapman. Of the Veiodrome,
has given out a list Of riders IN the
professional class who will compel at
the Velodrome this season. AT the
present lime there are thirty-hve pros
who will compete here. and there VIII
probably be more added to this list
during the season. 1t Will be noticed
that Alfred Goullet and Paddy OSuli-
van Hehtr are not included II Mr.
chapman's list, although it is almost
certain that they will be here before
the season is very old. Their names
were omitted because Mr.. Chapman
was not absolutely certain Of them.
The riders have been divided into
classes-nrst class, second class ana
third class. The basis upon which they
were classed was on their showing last
season. There are seven in the first
class. thirteen in the second class and
fifteen in the third GLASS. The person.
mel Of the three classes is as follows;
First Class-Frank Kramer, America;
John Bedeil, America; Percy Mutton.
Australia; Fred Grenda, Australia;
NJ. Comes, France; Marcel Dupuy.
France, and M. Messcrt, italy.
Second Class-M. Bedell. Newark; b.
Jokus. Newark; T. Krebs, Newark; E.
Cavanagh, Newark; P. Lawrence, Cali
fornia; F. West, California; r. Diefen-
bacher. California;; A. Crebs. Salt
Lake; P. Drobach, Boston; A Hal
stead, South Africa; N. Anderson. Den
mark; E. Pye, Australia. and ]. Wells.
New Zealand.
Third Class-C. Carmen, New York;
E. Rupprecht, New York; c. Schelleri
California; F. Jones, Passaic; w
Smith, Newark; A. Triebel, Newark;
w. Morton. Newark; w. Beck New
ark; ]. Reeber, Newark; W. Blocker.
Newark; NJ. Ryan, Newark; J. Magin.
Newark; T. Ellington. Newark; D.
Mackey, Newark, and ]. King.
May Be Some hanse
There are some of these riders who
will probably shift from the third class
into the second class before the seaso
is far advanced. Grassy Ryan and
Jake Magin, with their six-day ex-
perience, should be very much i'm
proved this season, and no doubt be-
long in the second division now, but
as stated above this table was made
out on last seasons performances.
Dave Mackey is another rider who
should be very good this season. Dave
was getting better every meet last year.
and he should come back strong this
season. A lay-off of a whole eason
hurt Mackey.
In the second division Albert Crebs
and Frank Cavanagh are the only

BILL BERCEN'S IDEAS ON PITCHING
PROMINENT in The TIGERS TRAINING

Bill Bergen believes that a young
pitcher should be taught the proper
way to use his delivery from the start.
III O ma hasn't control he can't con-
troll the situation-that's a cinch."
That's Bergen's logic.
ct believe" says Bergen, that If ~
young pitchers were taught the proper
way to hold men on the bases-the
value of control, there would be many
more goq1 pitchers.
"of course, every pitcher has his W
style, but no matter what his style
he can't win games without being able
20 put Inc bali right where his catcher
wants It."
Bergen has been In the big show with
Cincinnati and Brooklyn for eleven
years, and he ought to know a thing
or two about the subject of pitching.
TITS the man with the straight
overland delivery with a good jump
on his ball that fools them most of
tho time in the big show" says Bill.
Some Of these underhand filings are
hard to hit. Joe McGinnity's old Sal
is a wonder, but Joe is a rar excep-
ton. I think you'll find that a hop
ball is harder TO hit than those under
hand filings, and it's ten times easier
for q catcher to handle and hold his
men on the bases.
There Is one young pitcher on the
Brooklyn club whom we tried to break
off that side-arm delivery with men on
the bases, but It was useless. Men
like Besoher and Devore. or Doyle.
would be half way down before he let
the ball so from his fingers. You've
got to hold the runne close to the
bags, and the catcher's Job is a tough
one.
"Christy Mathewson can allow more
hits and less runs than m man In
the business. No runner who knows

played in the National League he
never got more than two feet off first
base with Matty pegsing. and then I
stood f1at-footed. You'll get a better
start on Matty that way thar by try
ing to take a lead"
This led McAdams to tell Of a play
he had pulled off last year in the Texas
League. Some umpires called it a balk
and others said 1t was o. K. Here's
how II is worked. Judge for yourself:
With men on first and second the
pitcher turns several times and throws
to second base, driving the runner back.
Each time the man on first walks back
from habit more slowly. Suddenly, in
stead Of letting the ball go to second
base, the pitcher, who has made a bluff
to throw to the middle hassock, whirls
around and pegs to first. Nine times
out of ten the n on first is picked
out as clean as a whistle. Some UNI
pires call 1t a balk and others do not.
How do you figure it? Buster Brown.
of the Boston Braves, works the trick
quite often, and gets away with it"
McGinnity's Trick.
Joe McGinnity is a postmaster at the
art of holding unner on the bag. It
was Joe who thought up the trick often
used nowadays. With a runner ON
second and a dangerous man at bat
Joe will wheel and bluff a throw to
second. The runner OF the bag will
naturally head back for second. Joe,
however, turns and shoots the ball TO
the batter. If the batter does get a
hit the man on second will have no
lead at all because he will have to
turn to get a start. and there have
been instances where the leftf1elder on
q clean line drive caught the runner
from second trying to make third The
youngsters here will need no better
tutors than Bergen and McGinnity.
