EW YORK, July 19.-The pres
Y ent year is one Of the greatest
in history for the genus come
back. Players regarded one year ago
as has-beens Of the deepest quality
have been dragged back in numbers
to the big show from either retire
ment or the bushes, to bloom forth
once again as capable major leaguers.
Probably the top of the come back
list should be assigned to Fred Fall
kenberg, otherwise known as Long
Cy. who has pitched Cleveland back
onto the map, showing even more
surprising form than his teammate,
Vean Gregg. He Is the proud pos
SCISSOR Of ten straight victories among
other things, and has become the
popular favorite Of Nap fans. When
Fally was sent away to Toledo a
little over year ago he was figured
dismal failure.
Knight Returns to Majors.
Jack Knight who has been with

D
with Jersey City for Baker Borton

ment over the latter at first base
George McQuillen, who made his re-
debut at the same time with the Pr
rates won his first game and appears
like the same old George he was when
starring with the Phillies three years
ago. His time spent with the Colum
bus American Association team seems
to have made him a better behaved
McQuillen, which accounts for the
principal difference in his effective
ness.
Another pitcher who has proved a
winner after time spent in the minors
Is Dick Rudolph Of the Boston Braves.
Stallings made a wise move when
he took the one time Giant from the
Buffalo Club Of the international
League. Mordecai Brown that great
old grizzled veteran, has begun to
show some Of the prowess Of his Cub
days after his sojurn in Louisville.
His knee bothers him somewhat, but
the strong right arm with it's three
fingers is the same. Joe Tinker says
that Brownie will be a success with

the Reds for at least two more years.
Overall a Disappointment
Only one Of the pitching come
backs Of the year has proved a dis
appointment, He is Orval Overall,
and Johnny Evers attributes his poor
work thus far to an attempt to get
into condition too rapidly after his
long layoff from all phases of the
game. Outside of the pitching STATS
there have been other comeback
failures. one is Claude Derrick, who
had 10 be sent back to Baltimore by
Frank Chance after proving far be-
low expectations in every way. Nc
kechnie another Yankee, also has
failed to meet Chances requirements.
The Nationals of Boston have a pair
Of outfield Comehacks, besides pos
sessing Pitcher Rudolph. Briscoe
Lord and Cy Seymour are the boys,
and both have performed well enough
to stick around. Charlie O'Leary,
who has been playing a good short
stop for the Cardinals, is another
former big Lacquer whose delivering
of the goods in the minors compelled
the majors to give him another
| chance. His work with Providence
was so conspicuous last year that
when Higgins found himself up
| against It with Arnold Hauser in
| iured, OLeary was the first man he

old Janvrin is one more infielder who
| has done well, playing in utility roles
| for the Red Sox.
King on Job.
Catcher Johnny Killing, who is with
the Reds now, has shown far better
than most persons had expected. In
Guiding Jonathan, there are enough
comebacks in the two major circuits
to form a fair-looking team. For
pitchers there could be Rudolph,
overall, Brown, Falkenberg and Nc
CULLEN. Jack Knight could play first
base; McKechnie, second; 'OIeary,
shortstop, and Janvrin, third. king
could be catcher And in the outfield
there could be Lord, Seymour and
one Of the pitchers who did not hap
pen to be performing at the time. OF
course, such a team could not beat the
Athletics, but IT would be a complete
team nevertheless, which is the main
point to be shown.

They also are always taking the
chance of being "beaned." That's
true, for the reason that they are set,
they are rigid, they can't get out Of
the way of a ball that breaks at the
last moment and starts for their
head.
Many a man has been hit by a
pitched ball for the reason that he
set himself to swing The best
way is to be up there Iounging like
Wagner. Then you are in position
to step forward and meet the ball.
You also are in position to swing
at the fast breaking ones. You
are running mighty little chance of
being "beaned."
Speaking of the weaknesses of
batters it's my opinion that Wagner
has the most peculiar of any man in
the game. It's no use to try to fool
him on a curve. You can't It's Just
as useless to try a fast one. He'll
pound that, regardless of where it
is pitched. He cares nothing for a
splitter and a change Of pace means
nothing but a fattening of his bat
ting average.
Ball That Fools Wagner.
Jimmy Archer tells me that when
the pitcher must pitch to Wagner
when it is in the pinch, he signals
for one square over the heart of the
plate with nothing but speed on it.
Archer says that Wagner will do less
with this than he will if you try TO
fool him, and MordeCai Brown used
to do the same thing.
Since Wagner and LaiOie have
been compared for years and years
perhaps it would not be wrong for
me to say here that Archer says that
the two men are alike in their weak
nesses and that Lajoie can do less
with the ball which most batters like
than he can with the hooks the slow
ones, the fast one with the hop.
Archer knows, for the reason that he
caught in the American League.
The size of the bat has lot to do
with it, I want one of medium size,
say 40 ounces. I'm strong enough to
swing the kind that Chief Meyers
does But | couldn't get as many
hits. The way the pitchers curve
them on you nowadays a man must
have something in his hand that he
can swing at the last instant and
swing hard and true
l wouldn't like to say that the av
erage batter swings a club that is too
heavy, But in my opinion any time
that a bat feels the least bit heavy
it is too heavy and should be dis
Carded for a lighter one.
