Chicago Star Tells How HeadWork Wins
 Big League Battles

Headwork is everything in pitching The arm amounts to nothing It is only piece of bone and muscle hang | ing to your shoulder
 It doesn't make any difference how much strength a man may have in his arm. It is the amount of strength he can get out of it in the shapes of pitching talent that counts. When am in the box I never think Of anything else than the game Root ing or Joshing doesn't bother me any, for seldom or never hear 1t. When I am on the bench I am as much absorbed in the game as If I were taking part in it. In fact, in some ways I think 1t Is harder to sdt on the bench and see your eam-mates making mistakes and know that you can take no part in the game, than it is to be in the scrfnrnage yourself
 Age Is a pitcher that gets us all sooner or later. Tt will get me some day.
 The best sbatters in the world strike out once in a while.
 It never pays to get rattled in base ball. Play the game.
 No player has any license to get swell-headed Baseball Is altogether too uncertain a game for that.
 never consider myself bit better in any way than the youngest bush leaguer. For all know he may be a better man than I am.
 The busher has not come yet. but he may have his. day as well as the rest of us. We were all bush-leaguers once.
 I believe ball players should stick together. We are all on an equality all human beings.
 was driven to make good in base ball. The shadow of the mines was on me. It was either make good or back to the mines.
 Baseball Is as dangerous as mining, though in a. different way. You don't risk death as you do in the coal shaft, but you do risk disablement and that may mean the end of your baseball career.
 A catcher is everything to q pitcher In many ways he is the pitchers brain.
 When started in the majors had a caat-iron arm, all kinds of speed and a determination to make good.
 All that I am or ever will be in baseball owe to Comiskey.
 No one ever had a. harder time than I to make good. There were dark days for me when first went to- Chicago, and they lasted for the first two years, or until had mastered the spitball- 1t is not pleasant to hear someone ask your employer why he keeps that big stiff on the staff, referring to yourself But the wise player merely CT.
 The spitbalI has been much criti- cized There has been talk of 1egis- lating 1t out of baseball. In my opinion such proposals arc foolish ness.
 The spitball delivery is the hardest in the world to hit when it Is going right. Even when hit the ball almost invariably strikes the ground and be- comes fast grounder. Hence have

 Hi Ladd, the veteran outfielder, has decided not to join the New London club at present. The old boy had a conference with Manager Jack Burns of the Planters last Sunday. He had received a liberal offer from New London and was ready to accept, until he had a chance to act as coach for the Bridgeport High school squad. This looked like a good proposition so Ladd accepted the position. His new duties will keep him busy until June. When he finishes with the High school lads, Hiram will be ready to sign up with the club quoting the best terms.
 A play came up in Sundays game at Newfield that might have escaped the notice of Umpire McPartlin as well as the Bridgeport players and might have caused complications if New Lon don won. With Stow on third and Snyder on first in the seventh, Pitch CT Reiger of the Planters made a ba1k. The umpire sent Snyder down to sec ond but did not let Stow advance home, as he should have done No one kicked, so the incident was closed President O'Rourke, who was viewing the game from his auto,' wondered why the runner on. third was not sent home and he called the umpire's attention to the matter after the game Me Partlin said in leagues where he had

While the attack is said to be a slight one, it has wasted the player who other wise is resting comfortably.
 Manager McCann will ask President ORourke of the Eastern Association to forfeit last Fridays game in Springfield to Bridgeport. He says ing the game to the Mechanics after the Springfield players tried by dila- tory tactics to prevent the completion of the 11th inning.
 There is a report that Athe Boston cans have big trade on hand which will involve sending Hal Chase to Boston. Manager Stahl of the worlds champions is not in good shape and he wants somebody to play the bag. It Is said that StahI has offered New York the pick of Catchers Cady, Car rigan, Nunamaker and Thomas. They will also throw in OutfieIder Henrik Sen and Infie1ders Janvrin and Ball. The latter is a resident of this city. Manager Chance thinks he must get rid of the old guard on the New York Americans, and although tales of fric- ton between Chance and Chase are denied, it is probable that the team would do better wihoTt Hal, who iS a hard man to handle. A conference today or tomorrow will settle things.

that he desired to place In the hands of
Henry Klein, fourth floor front, the
Christmas gift which was contained
within tho covers OF the package. Per-
haps Samuers solicitude for the safe de-

"You WILL" insisted Moore. and he drew
a razor.
The messenger evinced belligerent dis
position and the fight began.
Samuel was taken TO the WASHINGTON

At last accounts the whereabouts of
the Christmas gift was a mystery, but It
is certain that Klein didn't get II last
night.
