RAY FISHER TO

NEW YORK AMERICAN MANAGES
ADVISES FORMER HART
FORD PLAYER.

Hamilton, Bermuda, March 1S-n
Frank Chance did not believe in work
ing his disciples in the morning the
Highlanders would have been idle yes
terday. Rain falls even in this won
der1ands and a SdeIuge came down in
lately after Chance called Taps for
the day. The p. l. beat the rain by
about three minutes.
Chance surprised Fisher yesterday
when he told the Vermont schoolmas-
ter to forget he ever pitched spit
ball.. Husk told Ray his speed and
curves were plenty to make him a
wonder, and that he thinks Fisher will
be a better pitcher if he cuts out the
spitban entirely. Fisher was a lit
tie surprised at the order, as he i'm
agined his splitter was his main stock
abide bp Chances judgment
Ezra, Midkiffs may win a regular
berth on the team, as he is looking
better every day Chance has not yet
said MidAim will be a regular, but adj
nfitted there was a strong probability
of Midkin starting the season on third
base.
IT regard Midkiff as one of the best
infield prospects I ever had the good
fortune to see,'' said Chance. s'The
boy surely can cover ground. I will
not say THAT he will start the sea-
son on third base. but it will be aw-
full hard to keep himS off the regu-
Iars.''
Hal Chase says his ankle felt much
stronger, and thinks he will be able
to- take a light practice next Monday.
However, it is likely Hal is taking an
optimistic view Of his injury
No one knows as yet what Chances
inffeld combination will be, and In all
probability Chance has not yet made
up his mind himself. For a time it
looked as though it would be Hartzen
third base, Derrick shortstop, Chase
second base and Chance first base.

DERBY ELKS TO
MAKE VISIT HERE
POOL AND BOWLING TEAMS
FROM VALLEY LODGE TO PLAY
LOCALS TOMORROW
NIGHT.

The EIks expect big time at their
club house tomorrow night when a
delegation of 100 from Derby lodge will
make visit. The invaders will bring
their pool and bowling sharks with
them and are hopeful of cleaning up
the locals.
The Bridgeport AntIers are not will
ing to concede victory, however. They
have some good men in both branches
of sport and they think that the Der
by bunch may be surprised. The
pool teams will play $50 points and
there will be three on each team. The
members of the local team are Ed
Schread, Bob Nichols and Chester
Johnson.
In the bowling match three strings
Will be rolled. The Bridgeport roll
ers viii be Charles Collins, John W.
Grant, Gus Buckley, Richard Dunn
and Harry C. Gould. Charley Miller,
who knows the game from every an
gle, has volunteered to coach the boys
if they need any advice.
The Derby delegation will leave
their home town at 6:45 in special troll
ley cars. They expect to arrive here
about 8 O'Clock. After the sport pro-
gram has been completed a lunch will
be served and there win be some novel
entertainment features.
In about two weeks the Bridgeport
boys plan to make a return visit to
Derby lodge.

FOUR CREWS IN
COLLEGE REGATTA
Harvard, Pennsylvania, Princeton and
Columbia to Contest ON Water.

Cambridge, Mass, March 13-The
prospects are that a race which will
surpass in rowing interest the big
Poughkeepsie regatta will be held
here on the Charles River May 10, the
date of the triangular race by Har-
ward, Princeton and University of
Pennsylvania crews, for the Columbia
University crew wants to enter and
make it a four-cornered race.
The manager of the Columbia crew
recently came over to Harvard and
talked matters over. Harvard upheld
its reputation for sportsmanship and
willingly agreed to admit the Morn
ingside Heights crew providing the
consent of the other crews was OBJ
tanned.
The Columbia manager then went to
Philadelphia and found Ellis Ward
and the University of Pennsylvania
quite willing to admit the New York
er Now it rests with Princeton, to
make the race a four cornered affair
There is little doubt but that DR..
Spaeth, who is in charge of the
Princeton oarsmen, win agree to the
proposition. The Charles River is
wide enough to furnish a splendid
course for each and every one of the
crews to row over from the Brookline
Bridge to the foot of the basin.

HARD IT is TO REALLY "COME BACK"

the ring. $40
Jem Driscoll, the great British
featherweight champion. thought he
was as good as ever after a, long lay
off and he was booked as a big fa-
vorfte over Owen Moran, but when
they fought Jem was fortunate to get
a draw. His speed was not there, nor
his stamina, either, but for all thar
he put up wonderfully good battle
and got a draw on his nerve.
Another British eFampion-Jabez

night at Birmingham, England, and
while he put up good battle against
a younger opponent he showed clear
" that he was not "there's any more.

title for a number of years and fought
Joe CAM and Jimmy Britt when they
were in their prime. He retired then
and was out of the ring for a num-

lightweight, one Of the new school,
got after Jabez for match. Jabez
rounds fought with skill; but lost the
decision. He was clever, but that

but once they start they soon discover
their mistake.

CAN'T TEACH IWlRLING
SAYS GEORGE MULLIN
Coach For Young Pitchers is Bunk.
Detroit Star Declares.

Gulfport, Miss, March L 3-George
Mullin of the Detroit Tigers is of the
opinion that using pitching coach
with a major league baseball team in
the South would be waste of time by
the so-ealled coach and a. waste of
money by his employer.
You can't teach pitchers much
about the game except how to watch
men on bases and any club manager
can do that, = says George. 'sAs far
as showing young pitchers how to
throw different curves, slow balls, and
SO on, that is seldom done except by
chance. Once in a while some old
pitcher shows a youngster how to grip
ball for a certain curve. But as a
general thing, each pitcher has to
learn for himself just how to get
each delivery"
pitchers have been taught famous
methods For example Jean Dubuc's
slow ball, was taught him by Clark
Griffith. now manager of the Wash
mgton team. Dubuc throws it ex-
actly as did Griffith in his best days
and Grif himself says that no other
man has 1T SO near perfect as Dubuc.
Mullin himself has a peculiar ball
which he picked up from Christy
Mathewson- Matty didn't show it to
George, either. Mullin was watch
ing the big Giant pitch one day in
New York and noticed a strange spin
ming ball. He practised it for a
while, began using it in games and
finally in a conversation with Mat
ty showed him how he threw it. Mat
ty said that that was exactly the way
he did it.
never had single thing shown
ne purposely by any old pitcher since
L started playing BASEBALL is the
rather, startling statement that Mullin
makes. Everything I know about
the game I picked up by myself, aid
ed only by an occasional suggestion
that I got when a youngster by keep
ing mum and listening to the older
men talk Nobody put themselves
out to show me anything. L worked
for year on my slow ball before
ever attempted to use it in a regular
game, SO these fellows who find that
they are not big Ieaguers the moment
they leave the minors have nothing
to worry about. Long and consistent
practice is necessary to make a big
league pitcher almost every time"
