Veteran Port Slider Teaches

Staff the Fine Points (
Of the Game. J:
By G. w. SWAN.

When it comes to picking the leading
teacher in the American League. and
southpaw pitchers are mentioned. don
your lid to one Nicholas Altrock. late Of
the White Sox. but now one of GriTi
hustiinE Nationals.
Il il Nick who made Joe Boehling the
wonder he lis today. While It 10 true
that the Richmond Thunderbolt pos
sessed the necessity ability. it was the
able teaching of the veteran portsideT
who made that famous run Of eleven
STRAIGHT possible. Altrock taught Boeh-
ling the art of hurting. and the Rich
mond lad gives the veteran all the credit
In the world.
Then there Is Harry Harper. the Hack.
ensack hurler. Altrock has been work.
ing with him since the youngster joired
the club. and the fruits OF his work can
be seen whenever the lad goes into the
box. Harper is a rangy youngster, anc
one who gives promise OF developing into
a star. In fact. Altrock says that the
long lad will some day be the rear soutii-
paw star OF Ban Johnson's circuit.
Bentley q Conner.
Last. but not least. Is Jack Bentley, the
kid hurler signed two weeks ago by
Manager Griffith. Bentley halls from
Sandy SPRINGS, Nd. and has all the ear
marks of a, conner. He has yet to get q
chance In the big ring. but is ready to
go into the box any time. Bentley has
learned more about pitching since work
ing under Altrock than he ever thought
OF. Jack says SO himself.
Last Wednesday Bentley pitched 4
game for team of local boys. playing
with the Shenandoah (Va) club against
the strong Woodstock outfit. Now this
Woodstock team is a real ball team, not
bunch Of country boys, and they can
play the old game for all it is worth.
Such men as Stickley, who played third
base on the University of Virginia club
last year: Young, of the Richmond Med
ical College; Marston, of the University
of North Carolina club; Walker, who is
wanted by every club in the Virginia
League: Brownie Irving. formerly with
the Roanoke team in the Virginia League.
and Travernor, of Roanoke College, are
members of the Woodstock tribe, and to
beat this club is no easy feat.
Allows Four Hits.
Bentley went in the box against them
and allowed four hits. Two of the hits
were clean bingles over third base in
the first inning before he had got settled
down. After that he allowed two hits.

PITCHERS ARE BLAMED
i. FOR Lengthy GAMES
Umpires and League Officials Are Try
7, ing to Solve Problem Of How to
: Stop Waste Of Time.

The rules of baseball permit the umpire
TO call a ball whenever a pitcher holds
the ball for more than twenty seconds
He can continue to call balls for each
such offence. This rule was adopted tc
shorten the length Of baseball games. II
is a good rule, but il is one that might
easily and with the approval of fan
DOM everywhere be improved upon.
There is no reason why the pitcher
should be allowed twenty seconds in
which to make his delivery. Fifteen
would be ample. 1t is admitted that it is
quite task to pitch nine innings, wher
every pitch is a well defined action and
,frequently-such as in the case of curve
balls, spit balls, and the like-puts {
tremendous pull on the wrist and the
shoulder. But it must also be taken
into consideration that it is seldom that
a pitcher is asked to work oftener than
ever third day at most.
This liz cited because the time consumed
in the playing Of ball games, particular
ly in the American League, this year is
a topic that has demanded the attention
of the public more than ever before.
Many well played game has not ap-
peared as such because the time con-
sumed has made the play monotonous and
irksome.
1t is a peculiar thing that almost with
out exception the games played in the
National League have been faster than
the games played in the American League
this year. Why this should be SO is a
problem to decide. So far as can be
judged the players are Of equal merit
and the uJhpires are just as earnest and
untiring in their efforts to hustle play,
but there have been few contests in the
johnson organization that have been dis
posed of in less than one hour and forty
i've minutes, and many that have taken
two hours and more before being COM
pleted.
In referring to these games only nine
inning ,affairs are taken into considera-
ton. The fact that the majority Of the
clubs in the Junior major league have
proved better road clubs than they have
with II.
By this is meant that it il true that
most Of the teams in the American
League have done majority Of their
winning while playing on the road, thus
forcing the games to go nine fun innings
instead Of eight and a half. This, how
ever, would scarcely account in full for
the delay.
Ban Johnson's attention was called to
this hardness early in the season, and
he Immediately issued an order that q
new ball be thrown out every time q
foul was knocked. He thought this might
save minutes Of time in every game, but

Fred Cherry, of the Industrial Home
School swimming team, surprised the
local followers of aquatic sports when he
finished sixth in the long distance swim
ming race held last Saturday by the
Washington Swimming Club over the
course on the Potomac from the Chain
Bridge to the Aqueduct Bridge. Cherry
got off to bad start. hitting a rock in
his dive from the starting float. and was
compelled to pull up for three or four
minutes SO as to regain his wind. When
the yourgster finally hit out with his
half crawl stroke the other entries were
about 100 yards ahead Of him, and through
his nerve and confidence in his own
ability was able to overhaul a dozen
Of the other competitors and pull up in
sixth place at the finishing line. Con-
sidering the fact that Cherry is not quite
fourteen years of age, the showing made
by him is surprising and a big
boast for Coach F. T. Drummer of the In
dustrial Home school
Bartle Miller, Of the Washington
Swimming Club, was in the best Of form
when he crossed first under the wire in
the three-mile swim held under the aus
7 ces of his club last Saturday, and he
set such a trying pace throughout that
the nearest competitor pulled up one
minute behind him. Miller got on to q
flying start and was never headed, and
at the finish was as fresh as morning
lark. The feat OF Bart clapping eleven
minutes on last seasons record is COM
mendable.
