Why should 1t be necessary to sub
shouldn't a pitcher be able to bat at
least as well as the average pinch
hitter? These questions have been
propounded ever since the pinch hit
ting fashion came into vogue. They
are as unsolvable now as when they
were first asked.
The average pinch hitter does not
bat better than .220 or .225 At that
he is doing very well. There does not
seem to be any logical reason why
pitcher should not stand up to the
plate and be able to bat as well as
that or nearly so. And yet few of them
can. There are comparatively few
pitchers who can bat for an average
of 800 or better for a season.
To have pitcher working in a close
game who is also fairly reliable with a
bat is a great help to a manager A
manager doesn't like to change pitch
ers in a game of that kind unless 1t
is getting dangerously close 30 the
ninth inning II pitcher is going good
he likes to keep him in, for if twirier
has been getting by through previous
innings and the opposition has not
been able to do much with his curves
and breaks it is practically a sure
sign he has the number" of the ma
jority of opposing batters.
In the cluster of curve dispensers
there are some who can hit. Otis
| Crandall is one, Mathewson is another
and Ray" Caldwell is a third. There
are some more. Frank Chance has sew
eral.
Not only have the pitchers of the
Yankees contributed largely to the
success of the team by their ability
to wind their curves around theaten-
ing bats, but they have come through
admirably whenever they have been
called upon to pinch hit

paIson's clever stick Work.

When Jack Dalton first broke into
the Majors three years ago he faced
Christy Mathewson and out Of four
trips to the plate landed four safeties.
Then for good measure he touched
Otis Crandall for another bingle, Gran
dali having relieve Mathewson in
Dalton's inaugural game. Dalton soon
afterward went to the International
league. He returned TO Brooklyn this
year and on April 10 be met Mathew
son again and took up the work where
he left off three years before. He got
three solid smashes off Christy and
was robbed of fourth By a spectacu-
lar stop by Stock. Evidently If they
all pitched fadeaways Jack Dalton
would bat 700.

White capes Charming.

Across the corridor of the Hotel Van
derbilt at luncheon hour one day last
week, sauntered a young woman wear
ing a cape costume that attracted
deal of attention because of its IN
mistakable Paris stamp. The young
woman's frock was white-pure white
broadcloth-and she wore white buck
skin buttoned boots and a very small
very rakish black straw turban with a
long, slanting wisp Of feather. Only
the narrow skirt of the white frock
showed. however. for from chin 10 hip
she was enveloped in a smart white
broadcloth cape opening over waist
coat Of copper colored and white
striped silk. One side Of the cape was
tossed back over the shoulder to re-
veal a lining of blazing copper-hued
silk and in the buttonhole of the
striped waistcoat was cluster of cop
perry nasturtiums.
For sport wear there are delectable
canes of white corduroy and for semi
formal wear-at the beach or country
club-white cloth capes with long
waistcoats of soft silk in color are
very good style Such cape, recently
worn at Tuxedo. was OF white cloth
with a wajstcoat Of jade green tango
creme. The waistcoat had two long
.noints below the belt line and was
crossed by wide. soft sash of black
pussy willow taffeta. Another cape
near by, of light gray eponge, had a
waistcoat of white pussy willow taf-
feta with a broad, fat collar Of the
white silk turning over on the cape.
This cape also showed the soft black
taffeta sash across the front.
