~ HICAGO, ILL, June 2S.-It is
time for the pitchers of the Ma
tional League to sit up take no
tice and listen. Larry Cheney, the
star twirler Of the Chicago Cub team,
reveals a most astonishing and i'm
portant fact, one that not even the
wonderful Christy Mathewson has
disclosed since he started hurting in
the parent major league organization.
1t is information concerning the
batting Of Hans Wagner, Of Pitts
burg, who has the remarkable aver
age of .324 for seventeen consecutive
years. Cheney says the flying
Dutchman," as he is sometimes called,
has a weakness at the plate, which
is something no other pitcher has
dared to venture since Wagner be-
gan his career in the National
League
Mathewson and Mordecai Brown,
two of the great fingers Of the game,
have declared that the Pittsburg
slugger is one of the most puzzllng
batters to pitch to. and particularly
in a pinch, because OF his ability to
hit a curve as well as a fast ball.
These two stars have worked hook
balls to death trying to fool Wag-
ner.
Brown acknowledged only last win
ter that most of his success in de-
ceiving the Pirate shortstop was due
to his sharp breaking curve ball,
which he invariably broke over the
outside corner Of the plate He used
this bender in this way because Wag-
ner stands on the outer edge OF the
batter's box and steps into a curve
that is pitched to break toward him
or over the plate. Mathewson, like
Brown, has depended on his fade
away ball when facing the shortstop
Fast Ball Against Wagner.
Cheney according to his own dope, ;"
practically abandons his twister while
Wagner is at the plate. OF course he
resorts to his moist ball considera-
bly,, but his strongest point Of decep-
ton against the famous walloper of
extra base hits is his fast ball Cheney
mingles it discreetly with the rest of
his assortment. In addition to giving
the information that Wagner has
weakness, Cheney also declares that
he Is easily fooled and crossed after
he has two strikes called on him.
Il have fooled Wagner time and
again on that fast ball." said Cheney.
"As long as I have been pitching
against him he has been easy for me.
l do not think he secured more than
one hit off me all last season. and ]
appeared in eight games against the
Pirates | do not mean to say that
he is a mark at the plate, for he is
far from being one, but what l mean
is this: l have prevented Wagner
from fattening his average off me
just through my ability to cross him
with fast ball.

NACKMEN STEAL
SIGNALS, SAYS
BIRMIN CHAM
Maps Leader Is Latest to Accuse
Connie Mack of Getting Other
Teams Signs,

CHICAGO, ILL, June 2S.-Mana-
ger Joe Birmingham, of Maps, is
the latest person to tell why the
Athletics are leading the American
League. Connie Mack and his men
have stolen the opposing teams
signs" says Birmy All of which
puts him in bad with all lovers of
clean sports The chances are that
the Athletics haven't stolen any clubs
signs; neither have they played I'M
fair in any way They are winning
games solely on their merits and de-
serve all the honor that goes with vic
tory. The Maclmen have proved
themselves to be the class in the jun
for organization, and it's about 10 to
l bet now that they will play in the
worlds series next fall
Many fans believe that not only will
the Athletics come back after a years
reversal of form but that their OPP
ponents next October will be none
other than the Giants. If such is the
case it viii be the third time that
McGraw and Mack have locked horns
in worlds series. The count to date
stands even, MCGraw beating Con-
ME worse than six-love back in 1905
and Mack gaining the upper hand in
1911 nearly as easily.
ONE player on the Athletics who
~ is seldom mentioned in connection
with the teams success is neverthe-
less one Of the strongest factors Of
that aggregation. He is Amos Strunk,
the speedy outfielder of the Mack
men. Strunk has developed remark
ably since last season, and he is to-
day one Of the most valuable men
Mack has on his team Not only is he
one of the greatest fielders in the
league, but he is a fast base runner
and Is hitting at a $40 clip this sea-
son. Strunk gets little credit for the
important part he has played in the
success of his team He is seldom
mentioned as having distinguished
himself, and yet he has done as much
as any other member of the team to
make possible its remarkable winning
streak. On any other team Strink
would be a sensation. but he is lost
among the numerous stars which
Mack has.
1T is doubtful If there is another in
L stance in baseball where a player
has developed as fast as he Two
years ago Strunk was an ordinary
player, who was in the game but sell
dom. Mack farmed him out a whole
season 10 Milwaukee, and it was while
there that Strunk developed into a
real star.

KEEPING EWES FLEECE DRY
OF Great Importance That Sheep Be

Salt and Water Essential.

The protection of breeding ewes

cially is it important when 1t falls In
the form of rain. Winter rains and
also sleet are always cold. II sheep
of the open-wooled breed are long ex.
posed to these they may do great
harm. The closed-wool breed. as the
merinos, will be harmed much less
as the water cannot readily enter the
wool that they carry. The shelter
provided up to the Landing season
may be of the simplest kind, providing
it will protect from storms and rains
The aim should be to give the
breeding ewes large liberty in winter
IL the ground is bare, or even partial.
ly, for it will do them good to give
them large liberty. They will make
excursions to the fields in search OF
grass, and the exercise will do them
much good. They should be allowed
to lie in a well bedded yard at night
in a shed or house adjoining, as they
prefer.
The other necessary attentions In
clude regular feeding, a supply Of salt
at all times accessible, and an ample
supply of pure water and a yard
