HARRY SMITH HAS NO GREEN MATERIAL

II experience counts Newark Will

year. The Tigers squad is the best
balanced and best seasoned material
in the league.
AL Schacht. who was the victim of
many of the pranks ball players use
to annoy "bushers" last spring, Is
worrying because Harry Smith has
not signed up any green material for
next year. AL wanted to get
square on somebody else by pull
ing the same stuff the other fellows
performed on him. So far the only
new men the Tigers have are Witter-
staetter and Sherrod Smith. Both
have had minor league experience, so
they are not raw material like
Schacht, Wendt, Kunkel and Barck-

Manager Smith has found in the
long run that it does not pay to carry

exceptionally promising. Schacht was

In the year 1912, when Edward
Walsh created and built up one of
his best pitching records, in addition
to his work In games which he went
the full route, his most brilliant pitch
ing was in the role of an emergency
or rescue pitcher. He was particu-
larly effective against the New York
Americans. Any time the Highland
ers saw Big Ed warming up they re-
doubled their efforts to get decision
before he reached the mound. When
he got working on the job the Hill
toppers began to pack their bats, and
all the fight stuff oozed out of their
finger tips In the four times he was
called to save the day he put them TO
rout on each occasion.
And when the Boston Red Sox
turned around and got a look at w.
johnson warming up In the dim and
hazy distance, the cold chills chased
nm and down their backs, they quaked
and shook in their "kangaroos,' they
gave visable signs Of quitting. They
failed to score a run or even make
respectable bluff at showing one
across in the four locations in which
Mr.. johnson acted in the capacity OF
rescuer
The Detroit Tigers were the hardest
team for Walsh to subdue when the
other fellow failed. The Tigers fought
nobly when the prince of pinch pitch
ers was hurled against them as for
Torn hope, and Jennings's gang broke
even with the big fellow the season
he made his great record as a rescuer.
The lowly Browns proved the hardest
proposition for Walter johnson to
souelch. and whenever he was called
in to save the game the cellar dwell
ers gave him an awful "rastle" and
made over half the hits that were
chalked up against him in his work
as O. relief man.
Walsh made a record in saving
games during 1912 that seemingly
would stand for years. But one Wal
ter Johnson during the past few years
has developed mania for record
smashing, and has either broken or
badly dented about every pitching
record handed down by history or ira
dition. Johnson's work as a success

The assistant coaches for 1914 were

Gus Zeigler and 81 Pauxtis had only

have decided that their plans cannot

WALSH AND JOHNSON BEST PITCHERS,
WHEN SENT In TO DO RELIEF WORK

relief man on a team is a grand as

fully pull off the when duty calls We

fresh eggs in corner grocery.
There is a wide field open for first
class rescue pitchers, and very few
| dependable ones are in sight; the call
for the helping hand is growing more

for the mission workers of the pitch
ing game, and the pitcher who is res
cued the most is, generally speaking.
a poor proposition TO press into serv-
| Ice as O helper to his brother pitcher
| in distress.
ED Walsh in 1912 was called to
perform the duties of relief man eiR1a-
teen times; in fifteen of them his
work had q decided bearing on tho
game; in just two of the contests did
he fall; in eight he turned seeming
defeat into victories, and some of
them were masterful demonstrations
of the art of pitching, In five of them
! he stopped all run-getting, and saved
his team from almost certain defeat.
In the fifteen games 1856 men faced
the Meriden wonder and managed to
make twenty-five base hits, a bat
ting average against him of an even
.150-hitting like that wouldn't win
one game out of ten.
Walter Johnson's work as relief
pitcher last summer was a revelation.
and perhaps the finest and most ef
fective work a pitcher ever pulled or
under any conditions, either emer-
gency or normal. In the eleven times
he was called by his manager to go
in and bolster up a wavering defense.
on every occasion he was successful
In every attempt he succeeded In
blocking the enemy. In eight Of them
he came through victor; in other
words he stopped the run-getting. and
If his teammates didn't win twas no

/ lone tally was registered against his
pitching in three innings Of the fierc-
est kind of battling.

SCHOOL FOR PACE-FOLLOWERS
LATEST MOVE in CYCLE GAME

A school for pace followers Is the
latest thing in the bike game. Sprint
riders who are ambitious TO become
stars behind the "choo-choo's" are to
be taught the tricks OF the trade.
This is the latest move of Floyd Mac
Farland, general manager of the
Cycle Racing Association. The rea-
son for the school is that the field In
the motor paced division Is very linn
tied, while In the sprint races there
are more riders than can be properly
cared for. With the idea of making
both the sprint and the pace follower
divisions stronger In every way the
scheme OF the school has been taken
up, The past season has disclosed
that motor-paced races were more
popular than sprint races at Boston
New Haven and Philadelphia, and to
increase the popularity of these races
more riders will be added to the
string Of pace followers, In Newark,
OF course. the sprint game Is all
the go.

make good If he tries the paced game.
Freddy has ridden paced races and
without any preparation he has
shown great ability. He'is game and
he follows oleverly, and If he special

to not only make good, but give the
