# Expects to Have Much Improved Pitching Staff This Year
TALES OF THE DIAMOND
Humorous and Otherwise.
BY Billy Evans.

Being entirely too polite one afternoon
caused Bill Burns to be put out of the
game. and incidentally started Bill on the
way to make his exit from the American
League. The game was played in De-
troit. with Burns pitching for the home
team. against the ST. Louis Browns Jack
Egan was the umpire. Now, Jack is
pOlitenesS personified himself, and dotes
OH being courteously treated. Such being
the case. you wonder perhaps why he got
rid of Burns for being overpolite. The
answer is that Bill was four flushing at
Jack s expense.
From the very start of the game the
Browns had been taking very kindly to
the portside offerings of Burns. Three or
four times during the game Jennings was
on the verge of substituting another
pitcher. Each time Burns would either
settle down and pitch himself out of the
hole, or some fielder would come to his
rescue with a phenomenal play that
would get him out of trouble.
Now Burns had been going rather
poorly. and realized that he was on the
ragged edge. The outcome of the game
had much to do with his future.
Naturally Bill was quite peevish, and
believed he was throwing nothing but
strikes, while the umpire seemed to take

ball. Most of Bits kicks lacked cause.
and several times it seemed as if Egan
was ready to put the rollers under the
southpaw and start him in the direction
of the clubhouse.
Throughout the game Egan passed over
the kicks as lightly as possible. The
climax came about the seventh inning
when Burns assumed his position at bat.
Now those who know Bill realize that as
a hitter he would never seriously menace
Ty Cobb. Hans Wagner nor Napoleon

a ball that sailed over the heart was

NEW ORLEANS, January 14-No mat
ter whether the New Orleans club got
only a plugged nickel of $4,000 in cash
in exchange for Southpaw Nick Cullop,
all base ball David Harums will have to
doff their chapeauX to Choily Frank. the
Crescent city magnate. For this is a
story Of how Frank parleyed Jim Lafitte
into a real ball team: moreoveN he finally
got LATTE back ithout the outlay of a
penny and then sold him for $500.
LATTE was a Memphis catcher in 1910
when Choly Bab5 decided to farm him
to a Texas League town. To do SO he
had to ask waicers. Now in the South
ern when a club asks waivers on a play
er it must turn over that player II some
other team claims him. So Frank re-
fused TO waive on Laftte and obtained
him for $500. the waiver price at that
time. Lafitte served the New Orleans
manager well and did his share in bring
ing the flag to New Orleans in 1910. But
Frank thought he saw Jim slipping and
lost no time in trading his star catcher
to Chattanooga for First Baseman Doc
Johnston and S1,2oo in cash.
The southpaw first sacker was a SEN
sation in the Southern and did his part

son Cleveland wanted first baseman
and wanted him badly enough to give
New Orleans clear title to four players

players and 5000 i'm cash.
For Cullop the Cleveland club bought
Catcher George Yantz from the Chicago
Cubs and sent him to New Orleans: the
Maps bought Second Baseman Jakey AtZ
from Providence and sent him to New
Orleans. and Owner Somers also parted
with 5000 in cash. Moreover. President
Manager Frank of the New Orleans club
was told to go into the open market and
buy three pitchers the Cleveland club to
pay the bill. OF course there's limit on
what Frank is allowed TO spend for these
pitchers, but it's very liberal at that
And best of all. from Franks point of

Trying to make winning team out of
the material which will be turned over to
Frank Chance when he takes hold Of the
New York proposition is not going to be
an easy matter. Chances hopes rest a.
most entirely on what material he can
add to his squad and that is virtually
out of the question SO far as the first
year in New York is concerned. There
is not much good material available right
now, and while 1t may be possible for him
to make a trade II is question: BILE
whether he will benefit himself by SO do
ing. for ball clubs usually expect more
than they are willing to give.
There is but little good material on that
New York team, and. no matter how ca
pable Chance may be. he cannot make a
bad ball club a good one by the appli-
cation Of ell the strategy in the game.
Barring Chase. he will have a rather
mediocre infield made up OF Hartzell,
Derrick and perhaps Cree. who is to be
shifted from the outfield. There is not an
infield in the league which is not superior
to this combination, and weak infield Is
the greatest handicap a team can have
The best way for Chance to show his
ability as manager next season will be
to do lot Of experimenting and try to
build up a team. If he improves condi-
tons during the three years that his con-
tract has to run he will have more than
made good.
But ii may be that Chance will receive
aid from the American League. Rumor
has it that there is to he q concerted
action on the part OF the other clubs to
place winner III New York. Such ma
te-iaI other clubs can spare. and it
does not mean those that are ready for
the minors, is to be sent to Chance.
Lajoie. for instance ii is said may be
found cavorting around second base for
the Highlanders next season.
Cleveland has about tired of the big
Frenchman and would consider any rea-
sonable proposition for him. This would
help the situation some. and if a little
help is given by all clubs Chance may
have a fair ball team before the season
is over. but there is no getting away
from the fact that he needs help and
lots of it.

TEAMS MUST HAVE SPEED AS
WELL AS BATTING ABILITY
Mere Hitting Talent No Longer Is Con-
sidered Complete Equipment for
Success in Base Ball.

Time was when about the only ques-
ton asked concerning a young ball
player by magnate. manager or scout,
was, Can he hit
Once if a fellow could stand up to
the plate and slam one every now and
then. had no glazing weaknesses
against any sort of pitching and could
catch ball if batted or thrown to-
ward him. he was considered promising
timber. He might be a clog on the
bases. an Indifferent fielder or the worst
sort of 'bonehead," but his short
comings were overlooked if he could
land on the leather, says the Detroit
Free Press.
It's different nowadays. Instead of
being content with an affirmative an
swer to the query about a mans hit
ting. they go further and ask: rs he
fast?" And if he isn't his chances of
making good in the exclusive base
ball circles presided over by Messrs.
Ban B. Johnson and Thomas ]. Lynch
fade as to be almost indiscernible.
In these days managers; realize that
it takes something more than mere slug
ging to. win pennants. A considerable
degree of batting strength is necessary.
of course but team composed entire
ly of clubbers extraordinary and macers
plenipotentiary. lacking speed and
brains, is very unlikely to get into the
worlds series
Fans well remember the wonderful
aggregation Of hitters that once repre-
sented the Philadelphia club in the
National eague. With any one OF the
several pitchers on duty this outht
could muster nine men who were in the
300 class as batsmen. Yet it didn't
win the flag, principally because the
Baltimore Orioles, who were fast ana
crafty. in addition to having some abil-
ity with the fail, used to play rings
around the simon-pure fence-busters.
Clarke Realizes It.
Fred Clarke Of the Pittsburgh club.
whose team was in many respects one
of the strongest in the National League
in 1912, realizes the pressing fact that he
must have more speed if he wants to
grab the banner this season. and he is
making plans to eliminate the base-block-
ers in favor of athletes who do not need
a couple of triples to send them home
from second base.
The fact that Clarke let DOnlin go is
proof that the Pirates chief has no use
for the slow performers. even though
they may be bile to hit, which Mike
certainly can do. Until Denim mad me
misfortune to sustain an injury that
robbed him of his speed he would have
been considered a prize by any manager.
Now he is able to bring only the waiver
price. with no great amount of jostling
among the National League clubs for the
privilege of paying that.
The Pirates of 1872. so say critics who
watched them closely, appeared to have
a great ball club. They could hit. their
fielding was first-class and they had the
best sort of pitching. Yet in spite OF
all these desirable attributes they couldn't
win consistently. Many followers of at
fairs in the Lynch league are picking the
Smoky city as the probable resting place
of the 1913 pennant, but always with the
reservation that the Clarke club hasn't
a chance to beat out New York unless it
gets some speed.
