Cleveland club of his own volition,"
continued johnson. Neither Mr..
Somers nor ! prevailed upon him to
return. The other members of the
club, realizing the strength that
Blanding would add to their team and
with visions of a possible world series,
petitioned the pitcher to return. In
a public statement Blanding admitted
that he made a mistake when he join
ed the Federals. We will protect this
player to the limit, and the fact that
he deserted the organization at an
earlier date will not lessen the
strength of our campaign of protec-

Johnson scoffed at the idea that the
organization was fearful of the out
come of the baseball war.

Cliff was secured from the Philadel-

later sent him to Toronto. He was

to the Tigers. Curtis is a right hand

PLAN BOUT FOR 4TH OF JULY

That q match between Champion

to Williams, arrangements have prac-

his promise that he will be ready TO

that time.
williams looked the picture OF
health when he hoped off train in

while on the coast, spent most of his
time at beach resort, and his skin
is as brown as berry. Williams
father and a crowd of the little fel-
lows friends were at the station to
greet him.
At present Williams is undecided
as to his future plans. He has been
offered several bouts at Philadelphia
and other places, but intends to take
a long rest before engaging In an
other battle. Speaking of his contest
with Camp, Williams was rather
modest, saying that he was forced to
resort to all of his prowess to wear
the native son down. "Campi gave
me a mighty tough battle, and I GER
tainly was pleased when the end
came in the twelfth round" said
Williams.

BY JACK DALTON
0utfielder and Hitsmith Of the Newark
Baseball Club

Baseball Club.
COLUMBUS, Ga, March 6.--Ty
Cobb. according to stories printed in
the newspapers, has said there is no
such thing as a batting eye" with
all due respect for Cobb and his fame
as batsman, [ think must disagree
with him. Ty takes the stand thai
the fellow who has a great amount OF
nerve can overcome his handicap II
he Is not blessed with as good vision
as the other fellow. That may be. but
noticed a few years ago when Ty
got a cinder In his eye while riding
on the rattlers that he quit the game
until his eye was restored to its nor
NAL condition.
Batting Eye the Best, Says Jack.
The fellow with brains and nerve,
who will take chance on outguess-
ing the pitcher at the risk of stepping
into a fast one when he is expecting a
curve, will be good hitter, but the
man with the eye to discern with
almost infallible precision just what
kind of a ball is coming after it leaves
the pitchers hands is the better bat
ter of the two. in my opinion.
Nine times out of ten players are
"beaned" because they try to outguess
the pitcher. After ducking a fast one
they look for a curve, and If the
pitcher is in a hole and trying to
scare the batter he will come back
with another fast one-then IL the
batter is not wide awake, good night!
Some Pitchers Never Hit Batter.
Some pitchers never resort to this
method of soaring a batter. Christy
Mathewson, l believe, did not hit a
man all last season. The real good
pitchers seldom have to resort to that
trick unless they feel they are losing
their grip and are desperate. The
! fellow who is gun shy and pulls
away from the plate seldom develops
into a good hitter, though there are
some big leaguers who do this. Tom
my Leach, of the Pittsburgh Pirates,
and now with the Chicago Cubs. had
the habit of stepping away every time
the pitcher wound up, yet he managed
to hit the ball hard every season.
Hard on Veterans to BE Canned.
After playing baseball in fast COM
pany for long time 1t is doubly hard
for veteran who is slipping to be
farmed out to some tin can league.
The pitchers down there do not pitch
with the same judgment that big
| leaguers follow, and 1t is seldom that
ballplayers last long in these circuits,
though they still should have several
seasons left after becoming too slow
for the majors. Down in the Glass ID
leagues the young pitchers are trying
to strike out every man that comes
up to the plate, going at top speed all
of the time. More players are hurt
during transforming games than in
the regular season.
OIdsters Caught Sometimes
Jack Kelly was knocked cold up in
Newark few years ago. Kelly had
great eye, and l never saw a. regular
pitcher come anywhere near bean
ing Kelly but the semi-pro who
pitched that day crossed Kelly up.
Harry Smith also got q nasty bump
last year playing in a contest up in
Jersey somewhere. That is why
some ball players say it is easier TO
play in fast company than down be-
low. They know that no pitcher 10
