heat prostration. Anderson was out for
10 minutes after that last punch. Then
he had a relapse and was out for nearly
two hours and a half before he knew
what had happened. Leach fooled all
hands by his training methods, and many
was the fellow who thought he was a
close observer who dropped a pile on him.

that Anderson should have been operated

was still in knickerbockers tried all the

his opponent liked by feeding him low

PITCHERS CONSTITUTE
80 PER CENT OF STRENGTH
Muggsy McGraw Says Pitchers Compose Third OF Srength
Allen and Smith Slated to Be Traded For Bresna
han and Zimmerman
BY WALTER MARcgAND

New York, July 2s-The old old ques-
tion as to what proportion OF the strength
of club is to be credited to the pitch
ing staff is to the fore again. John Nc
Graw is pretty fair judge of baseball
stuff, and he puts the pitching at 80 per
cent-less than a third of the ensemble
complete.
A pitcher like young Carroll Brown with
the Athletics can hold opposing teams
to five runs and then tear two out of
every three starts He recently gave 10
game. On the other hand, Ray Fisher.
with the Yanks, has pitched ~ good
games out of 16 attempts, winning one
and losing Is.
There are one or two others around
ilf addition to the pitcher. A man Of
Johnsons mold is exceptional When he
is working he averages about 60 to rs
per cent of his club. But for a general
average, 30 per cent, is not far astIay.
Good pitching frequently loses and bad
pitching frequently wins; SO the test is
not always the net results of the day s
score.

the Philadelphia club, and Al Orth, now

has been talked about around the Ma
tonal league circuit for some time now
and it has reached the stage where Il
will be made
The talk is that Evers does not want
Zimmerman around because ile has had
a great deal of trouble with the hard
hitting third sacker 1t is also said that
Evers and Bresnahan have not been gel
ting along as ball players should, ana
that If Johnny could make the right trade
he would let the two men out 1t is sald
that the Brooklyn club would make such
trade as they think it would help their
club a great deal
There are some who are close to the
Brooklyn club who say this is the begin
ming of the end of Bill Dahen as man
aser of the Brooklyn club. The rumor
has it that the McKeever brothers who
have a great deal of interest in the Brook
lyn team, are not satisfied with the way
Dahen has been handling the team and
want change. This would indicate that
Bresnahan would be taken and then made
manager of the club Allen is a good
pitcher while Smith has been playing
fine ball for the Dodgers at third base.
/ The general opinion seems to be that the
deal would not be bad one for either
club
Ear be 1t from me to criticise James
McAleer for firing Jake Stahl from the
Champion Red Sox. 1t was his privilege
and he doubtless considered that he had
cause. 1t looks to me though like very
poor business. Stahl to the surprise OF
pretty nearly everybody took the Red Sox
last season and with them won the
worlds championship.
This year for various reasons the ma
chine has not developed a great, deal of
speed. Other baseball clubs have been
known to meet with slumps and have
come back. As Stahl's contract had only
the balance of the season to run it would
seem to have been only decent to at least
let the contract run and not 10 publicly

paws have triumphed in 14s games, win

The marvellous success of the lefties has
encouraged the managers to import a
long list. Formerly the pilots were sat

have fewer than two The success of the
Lookouts has been attributed to the south
paws for the three mainstays-Covaleski,

The Lookouts are firm adherents to the
