Years aEo, when I was pitching with Notre Dame. I learned that speed without control was va4ueless; I always had pretty far control of my delivery, but with the acquired knowledge began psrfeCtfuE different deliveries and gaining con trol of the ball in each,' says Jean It took years of patient effort to ac- quire the delivery I now have bEt believe 1t is one of the least trying on the arm and shoulder muscles for the reason that l put the weight of nay depend on the strength of my arm to send up fast ball
 Captain Wagner of Ptttsburg ks much pleased with the looks of the Piratas. He says all the boys are in excslIant shape and every one is anHously awaiting the opening of the season we have a good team, he said, land I am sure we will give a good aa- count of ourselves. Of course, you never can tell what is going to happen on the baseball field during season Take this accident of mine, for in stance It has turned out to be only Q slight hurt, yet it might have been much worse. Outside of my soTe knee, 1 never felt better since began playing the game This leg of mine will be all right in a day or two, and I guess I will be ready to play on Thursday if Fred Clarke wants mo to-
 Connie Mack will kesp ali hds pres- ent pitchers for @ while. The new ones look too good to drop just now. Catcher Schang has also made sure Of his position. as well as OJEtheAder Daley Says Connie: q cannot sea how can afford to let any of my pitching staff go. They are the bese in the country, I think, and know if l ask for waivers on any of them no less than three clubs will grab any of them. Schang is another nea pick to develop into star.

 It would be mighty hard to ezappIo the Pirates-to cripple them seriously, says 8 Pittsburg writer. Illness or accident might put Wagner on the bench, but a grand little bau player 1z would fill his place very aec@pGAh1y. Mccarthy or Viox could also sub for Butler or Byrne wf6hout materially weakening the club. But with the regulars working regularly that in field will be 8 wonderful machine, unS of the best the club has ever had of Wagner and Byrne nothing need be said. Butler has made 8 splendid Inn presston by his work at second this spring. Miller is picked by many who have watched htm during the past few weeks to become the star first base man of the league this season Ha learned the bag last year. He was much better in the fall than in the spring, and he is better this spring than he was last fall He has a won derfu1 arm and he has been punching the ball with disconcertfng regularity, There is no better out1eId in the league for speed, throwing, hitting and base running than that which em- braces the Pirate tfio-Carey, Holman and Wilson. Ar'tie Holman is coming back and, barring a pair of bad 1eEB which are rounding Into form, he has justified all the early predictions made by his friends. After he struck his stride nobody hit the ball nicer than the ex-Cub. and he is going 90 well that he forces one of the most promising young outdelders in tho league to occupy a bench seat.
