Alex Mccarthy Has

Alex Mccarthy, popular little utility

part of last season. and who made a
hit with the fans. has signed his con-
tract. For n college boy Alexis letter,
which he sent to Barney Drefuss along
with the contract. is strikingly lacking
in original thought. He said he is hop
ing to have the best year of his career
and help Clarke win the pennant. They
all say that or something like that, but
the evident sincerity of the letter

During the thirty-three games that
Mccarthy played last season, he man.

fielding shortstop in the league. his av-
erage being 1881. Wagner, who stands
fifth in the list of fielding shortstops

errors during the season.

RUSSELL FORD HAS
DISCOVERED NEW
KIND Of SP|TBALL
Yankees Star Pitcher Adds
Another Variety to
Great Collection.

NEW YORK. Feb. 4.-"Just diseov-
cred a new splitter that is the best
ever"
Russell Ford. the New York Yam
KEGS star Finger and champion spit
ball pitcher OF the country, sent n
postal to friend here that bore the
above message.
Well, for the "Love of MiQue," Russ
had fourteen different assortments
last season and now he has discovered
another. What chance will the poor
batters-T. Cobb, s. Crawford, n.
Lstoie, T. Speaker, and ]. Jackson
have when they face Ford this year?
II Izzy Ham were laying odds it's a
cinch he would use the sponge quick
ly. Bat Yankee rooters don't care n
rap about all the clouters that be-
long to any other team, and II Ford
has unearthed a splitter that has even
a shade on the bear he worked all last
season, then there are hopes of the
pcnnant going to New York after all.
Ford won twenty-siX and lost six
games in 1909, and won twenty-five and
lost eleven last season-with a most
supshop aggregation behind him last
year. Now, If he can do that we'll with
one splitter, what can we expect OF him
with two spitters?
But Ed Sweeney, the only catcher who
has been able to receive Fords slants
properly, Is In for a hard season, and
| he probably won't greet the announce
ment of Ford's new wet fling with any
| too much pleasure. Russ splitter has
| never failed to put Sweeney's hand on
| the blink at one time or another dur
| ing the season, and with two of 'em
\ working 1t is doubtful is big Eddie
performs more than fifty or sixty times.
| Although Ford pitched fourteen differ
| ent kinds of balls last season-and this
year he IL going to fling fifteen brands
he and Sweeney used but two signs
| When any other catcher than Sweeney
lis on the receiving end, Ford always
has been forced to sign for everything
| he throws. This puts him at a dis
advantage, and here Is the reason why
He holds the ball in his hand the
| same for every delivery, no matter
whether It is going to be a sharp-break;
! ing splitter or a raising-hop ball. 1t all
! depends upon the position of the batter
at the plate with Ford. and as he winds
| I'd, the man with the willow Is likely
| to shift slightly from the attitude he
| struck before he sets himself in motion
! 1t is then that Ford may be forced
| to shift from an I'm breaking splitter
to an "out" breaking one, or some
thing else He Is forced tp shift on the
instant, and, of course, has no time
| 10 stop and resignal his backstop. II
! he did, il would be deliberate balk
| Therefore, II is up to Sweeney, like tbs
batter, TO guess what kind of bal
Ford is going to dish up.

Some Inside Truths.
Anont the discussion conceI ming bonus
contracts and large salaries to members
OF the Washington ball club, the fol-
lowing, from the current number OF
Sporting Life, is especially interesting.
Player Ty Cobb, of the Detroit club,
Is quoted as saying that the time is
coming when so many star players will
command $4,000 salaries that such
salaries will be common II we read
the signs of the times Alright 5000
salaries will bs scarce even among the
greatest players two or three years
hence
Major league baseball within the
past two years ERs not been the
bonsrZa press reports-baSed upon oc-
casional large attendances ind grand
stand rcbuildings-have led the public
and players to believe. The past season
was extremely disastrous to the minor
leaRues-of whom only four of the
highest class leagues escaped whole OF
partial disaster. and not 50 very propi-
ticus for the major leagues, who only
avoided a marked 8hrinknge of pros
pCTity through the adventltious aid OF
rcplarkEble races-whtch may or may
not be repeated next season, or for
years to come. The conditions that
lave initiated more or less severely
against the mai and minor leagues
| for several years still exist. and show
so little sign of subsistence that 1t would
he well for all parties - reef their
sails.

| aid of national agreeme revision by

! doing this; and the mujor leagues had
