Mr.. Tinker, Mgr. Cincinnati: Are
you aware of the fact that a pitcher
winding up loses time, loses trength
and that it is far better to simply
make your pitcher use the muscles of
their back. To have them learn how
to pitch to keep the ball in the air
with men on bases. To not be dilatory
in their delivery as Il lot OF foolish
throwing to first base is often the
means of a lost game.
ITO have a catcher who can coach
your pitcher, tell him (the pitcher his
faults. TO learn your young pitchers
a snap throw such as has been used
by veterans to great advantage. To
learn every man on the team to be
heart and soul in the game, whether
on the bench or in the game. How to
make a flat-footed man run on his
toes. Which makes him so per cent

Up TO date the Yellow Jackets have
made a grand showing, but they have
not been up against real tough foe
