DEPEND ON WEST
Big League Teams Fate Rests
on Shoulders
OF Men Who Formerly Played
in Kansas.

A number of the big league twirlers,
on whose shoulders are now resting
pennant hopes, were picked from West
ern association teams during the past
few years, having worn the uniforms of
Guthrie, Springfield, Joplin, Bartles-
ville Wichita and other cities in that
organization. 1t was formerly one of the
best known minor leagues in the coun-
try, during the period that doc"
Shiveley of Kansas City, Kan, was at
its head but with Shiveley out, the
league went to the bad and finally, last
year, disbanded forever.
Joe Wood a Westerner.
OF the twirlers, who are now sensa-
tions in the big league fights, Joe
Wood is beyond doubt the man who is
delivering the goods more regularly
than any former Western Association
pitcher. Wood is doing a whole lot 10
keep the Red Sox at the top of the
column and every game he pitches is
watched with interest by the fans of
Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri, where
he was a well-known figure a few
years ago. He was dug up by manager
Jay Andrews of Hutchinson, Kan, in
1907 and although but a lad lin his
teens, he showed wonderfgul ability
during his first year, and was grabbed
almost Immediately by the Boston
Americans.
Among the other Western Associa-
ton pitchers, now with the majors,
are Groom of Washington, Scott of the
White Sox, Willett of Detroit. Hendrix
of Pittsburg, Cheney of the Cubs, and
Hamilton of the Browns.
Many baseball players who have
worn Guthrie uniforms in the past,
during their first-grade days, are now
making good throughout the baseball
world, including number of majors.
Or those the best known now are Will
lett of Detroit, Milan of Washington.

HOW he PITCHES
Joe Wood Tells How He Keeps
Boston in First Place.
Not Even Walter Johnson Has
as High an Average.
WHY JOE WOOD IS BEST
AMERICAN LEAGUE PITCHER

He has won II and lost 4 games
AN average of $40. No other
pitcher in the !eague-not even
Walter Johnson, big Ed" Walsh
or Jack Coombs-has won so many
games.
Notwithstanding Walsh has been
hailed as a wonder because of the
number of games he has pitched
and won for the White Sox, Wood
has pitched nearly as many and
won much greater percentage
than Walsh.
Jake Stahl says that Woods
great pitching, when the Red SoX
were in poor shape, is mainly re-
sponsible for the lead the team now
has over all its competitors.
Wood is coming" while most of
the other champions have ar
rived" He is but % years old, but
has pitched professional baseball
for six years.
He grows better all the time.

Returning to their home lot July
q the Kaws have II games here in a
row. Early in August the fans should
see some double bills as the Sioux have
two postponed games and they will
play here before the Gears leave home
again. After finishing with Des Moines
yesterday the Topekas left for Lincoln
for a battle with the Dryers. Early in
les of battles with the 'Lopes at Lope-
vile. If they could do as well on
their present stay they could come
home in a position to lose themselves
from the cellar position during the Il
games before another jump is taken.
BY several Of the sport writer's around
the circuit it has been commended that the
chief trouble with the Kaws since the
pitching staff was strengthened is the
lack of team work. If this is the case
why not some more morning practice
until this trouble is eliminated? But
baseball scribes. as well as umpires
and players, are likely to err.
An umpire would rather be called
rotten than a homer. Perhaps this ac-
counts for some of the deals handed
Topeka at home this year. But it
doesn't account for some of the stuff
on the road.
The writer has been panned a time
or two for yelling on the umpiring
which has lost number of games for
the Kaws on the local lots. Even
letter from Prexy O'Neill contained
gentle dig on this score. But so far
this writer has never tried, in con-
versation with the umpires on the
fields or off to influence their decisions.
Conversation with the umpires has
been confined to the difficulties of indi-
Gator handling, showing and condi-
tons on other teams, and the DISPOSE
lions of the various managers in the
league When he believed the home
team was robbed the writer has yeLe,
and will continue to do so.
There is talk of Cy Young going
higher this fall. Two men who look

best games that day. There isn't a

NEW DEAL IS ON.
Revised National Agreement Has Be-
come Baseball Law.

Cincinnati, July 23.-The revised ma
tional agreement for the government of
professional baseball became a law. 1t
was ratified by the National league,
the American league and the National
Association of Baseball Clubs officially.
The changes in the agreement, while
not radical, are numerous, all tending
toward the idea of making the rules
governing both the game of baseball
and the handling of games more simple
to the ordinary spectator as well as the
Iessening of disputes over technicalities
by the club owners. The agreement
was slightly shortened. The principal
change was the creation of a class IA
leag and the revision of the drafting
prices in vogue in the various classes
of leagues.

as a matter of course. Ty Cobb, for
instance, is the hardest man 1 have to
pitch to. 1t is not alone his style that
bo-hers a pitcher; it is his sure eye.
The sure eye makes the good batsman
and when you stop to think of it good
pitching is only the knack of throwing
the ball accurately, so it will pass the
batsman in the way that 'queers' that
sure eye. That's why believe in the
fast ball.
