ADVOCATES WINTER EXERCISE.
Detroit Club Doctor Says Players
Should Indulge in Various Sports.

According to DR. William e. Keane
club physician to Detroit, the spring
training trips of big league clubs could
be reduced in length and a lot of hard
and tedious work could be eliminated
if the players would take systematic
exercise in the winter months. DR..
Keane does not mean to recommend
that ball players keep in training, in
the sense that the word is used by col
lege men, for II months in the year
but he believes a little exercise every
day would be a splendid thing, espe-
cially for those tossers who are dis
posed to flesh up rapidly. Some of the
men who pass time on the diamond for
living keep themselves in shape all
the year around. but there are large
number whose hardest athletic stunts
between seasons are walking into the
dining room three times a day.
The work in the south is divided into
two classes, first getting ready to prac-
tice and second practice itself. AS al
most anyone who has been obliged tc
take off weight by the wholesale can
attest, there is small joy involved il
the process. 1t is hard work all the
way through. Nearly every one of the
1lesny boys announces annually after
he has succeeded in getting down tC
the proper figure that never again will
he allow himself to get so out of shape
Then the next winter he lets the adj
pose tissue pile up just the same as
ever. There is no question that if il
were possible to send a ball club south
with every man somewhere near his
playing weight the length of time spent
in the warm cline could be reduced
greatly. 1t takes a week or more in
Dixie for some of the big fellows tC
get into good enough condition so thai
they really can get any real results il
the way Of refreshing their knowledge
of how to handle the ball or hit it, ano
this must be considered largely a waste
Of time.
DR.. Keane's argument is that 1t is
much better for an athlete to devote g
few minutes every day to f1esh-pre-
venting exercises than to have to en-
dure the tortures that accompany the
task of taking off 20 or 80 pounds
within comparatively short time. As
ball players never observe the strict
dieting rules insisted on by the college
| trainers, there is no necessity for theil
changing their menu in the winter. ex.

20 YEARS ON THE CINDER PATH
NOLAN
Surprising the Pastime A. C.-Betters Track Record by
One Second-victory Over Champion Pete Shlman in
One Mile Run
BY JOHN D. NOLAN

In the month Of August, 1885, re-
ceived a letter from Frank Fanan of
New York city, a former resident Of
TaEtville, inviting me to pay him a
visit, and informing me that I might
get a good position there by joining
the Pastime Athletic club. Now, in
those days good athletes were scarce,
and the few clubs then in existence
were ever on the outlook for promising
material; and any good athlete had a
6ood situation procured for him by the
club he became associated with.
went to New York at once, and on
the evening. of August % accompanied
Farnon, whose cousin, Charlie Caul-
field, was a member of the Pastimes,
to the club grounds at East Sixty
sixth street. where Caul1eld asked me
20 run a trial for them.
Now, there were a large number of
members at the grounds that night,
among them being Tom Collett, a dis
lance runner and vice president of the
club. Many of the members looked at
me with i'll concealed amusement as I
came on the track and walked over to
the starting post. Harry Dimpse, cap
tain Of the club, and Tenn Cellett held
the watches. The track was a fair
ClnQeF path, measuring II laps to the
mile, the record for the track being 4

famous English distance runner and a
former member of the Pastimes.
was in fine condition, and rent
away at a cracking pace, passing the
half-mile post in 2.15, and, going
strongly, finished the mile in AT. Aft
er passing the half mile post the
amused smiles had vanished from the
faces of the members, who looked on
with interest and establishment.
Harry Dimpse advised me to go up
to Oak Point the following day and
represent the Pastimes in the mile
run, assuring me that James q. Sui
liVan, then president of the club would
get me good position on his return
from the west If I would join and
represent the PaStimes.
His proposition just suited me, and
the following day 1 took the boat for
Oak Point, arriving there long before
the beginning Of the games. This prov

GRIFFITH MADE RECORD

Before Crafty Pitcher.

quently reverses itself. One would
marvel, perhaps, to hear of a slab :
man who had famed the mighty Cobb
four consecutive times in a single bail
game. In fact. the performance would
give visions of some herculean mon
strosity whose mighty arm produced
such terrific speed that it was worth
catcher's life to stand behind the bat.
1t must have been some superhuman
being that accomplished this you will
say, but not so. 1t was little pitch
er; yes, one of the smallest men who
ever wore a major league uniform,
and it was none other than Clark Grit
fifth.
1t happened in Detroit in the season
of 1905. Cobb had set the fans of De-
troit on edge by his wonderful hit
ting and speed. All pitchers seemed
to be mere toys in his hands, and
when, one summer day, the willy Grit
fifth was carded to pitch, those in the
stands sympathized in anticipation of
what would happen when Cobb faced
him. About all that Crit had was
nerve, good control and most decep-
tive slow ball. and it was to this that
ne attributes the feat herein narrated
He struck Cobb out the first time he
faced him on three slow ones, mixing
them up with fast ones. which he
kept away from the plate and out OF
reach. He duplicated this performance
the next time up and again Cobb fell
a victim. Believing that he had moth
ing to expect but speed and a change
of pace, Cobb set himself ready fo-
these when he came up for a third
time. But now Griffith was curvingr
and again Cobb sat down.
Cobb, being baffled and not know
ing what to expect on his fourth trip
to the plate, Griffith shot three fast
ones over on the center Of the plate
and Cobb was called out on strikes
He had expected even more than he
had seen on his previous three trips
to the plate, and the last time up, but
with the usual Griffith style, he got
just what he did, not expect, and to
this day he believes that Griffith was
the only pitcher who ever turned this
trick at his expense.

EVERY FOURTH DAY
ENOUGH FOR A PITCHER,
Donovan Can't See Where Team Could
Get Alonq With Only Two.

The suggestion Of John NJ. Ward,
now president of the Boston Nationals,
thar two strong and willing pitchers
should carry a team through a hard
campaign falls far short of meeting
the support Of Bill Donovan of Detroit,
Working every fourth day is enough
for any pitcher declares Bill. The
requirements Of the game have changed
considerably since John M. was an
active player. The pitcher of today
doesn't play beanbag. Two pitchers
might hold up a club for \ few days,
but they would be in need Of a rest
afterWard. There should be four relia-
BILE men on each staff, and three or four
more who could step in when needed
A pitcher is most effective when TAX
ing his turn, but that turn should not
come too often. Some pitchers can
work every fourth day and give the
best that's in them. Others can only
work about three times in two weeks
and be effective. I never saw a pitcher
who could work on alternate days and
be strong afteTward.
"A pitcher today has a task five
times as hard as the pitcher of Is or
20 years ago. The modern batters are
more scientific and the game has ad-
vanced along all lines. A pitcher must
not only be pitcher but he must also
be a fielder and it is usually required
that he be a fair batsman. The present

HAD DELEHANTYs GOAT.
Ed Was a Great Hitter but Billy
Rhines Had Him Stopped.

A greater hitter than Ed DeIehanty
was perhaps never produced. He was
one of the hard swinging kind, who
drove terror into the hearts of every
pitcher, right or left handed, who
faced him. and yet there was one
tWirler, and he was not a great stat
whom Del could not hit with a plank.
He was Billy Rhines, who in the early
'e0s' pitched for Cincinnati. He had
an underhand delivery, which was
battling to Delehanty, and it was
nothing unusual for Rhines to strike
him out three or four times in a game
Rhines' power ever Delehanty was SO
great that on several occasions ne
took himself out of the game and all
lowed d much less impressive hitter
to take his place, simply because he
did not believe he could hit Rhines.

that when a left handler is competent

now whole lot of left handed hitters

Cobb and Milan, for instance, are not

They have mastered the art of follow

others who do not fear these deliver

fact that they face more left handlers
