NO EXCUSE FOR EARLY RISING
Man Who Gets Up at Dawn Is Stupid,
Is Assertion Made by Father
Dwight.

The arrogance of the man who
arises to the minor heroism of cold
bath has been complained of by less
heroic folk who arise to tepid or
warm one To be set apart by the
ability to stand the shock of cold wa
ter has seemed to less vigorous folk
an unsubstantia1 claim to Immortality
1t lacks moral suficiency and is too
much made of by the cold bathers.
Another arrogance is given consid.
GRAFTON by the Rev. Walter Dwight,
S. j., in America. 1t is the arrogance
of early risers. Father Dwight denies
them heroism and enters into doubt
as to their intelligence. AS a rule he
finds them a notably arrogant set,
appearing to believe that they move
on a higher ethical plane"
Every normal human being, not
given ordinarily to early rising, but
being on occasion tempted or forced
into it, has felt the strange spiritual
afflatus, the moral patting on the back
in consequence thereof. The feeling
that a good deed has been done for
a naughty world is inexplicable, but
supreme.
Father Dwight is remorseless. The
early riser is the least intelligent Of
mankind

Speed is quite an asset to a ball
player if he uses it in daylight.
The Boston Braves are picked by
many dopesters as pennant winners.
Wamsganss and Pezold, the two
new members of the Nap infield, look
like corners.
Eddie Grant is doing great work as
pinch-hitter and substitute infelder
for the New York Giants.
The attendance at ball games has
taken a decided drop since the war in
Europe broke out.
Syracuse, N. Y, is worked up over
rumor that a Federal league club
is to be placed there next year.
The greatest factors in the various
baseball races this season are con-

GOODYEAR TIRES AT
ANTE-BELLUM PRICES

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.
announce No war prices on Goodyear
Tires" Mr.. F. A. Sieberling, president
of the Company. thus explains their
unique position,
We advanced Goodyear prices, as
others did theirs, when the rubber
panic came. Almost in a day crude
rubber rose in New York from 90 cents
per pound to much over a dollar.
The New York supply was too
small to consider. We cabled our
London people to buy up the pick OF
the rubber there. BY acting quickly
and paying cash they obtained 1,5OO,-
600 pounds of the finest rubber.
That big supply of rubber is now
nearly all on the way to the Goodyear
factory in Akron. 1t constitutes the
best of the London supply
We are using the same grade or
rubber and the same amount of it as
We always have used in these tires.
I'VE are running our factory with
three shifts of men, twenty-four hours
a day. So long as we remain In this
fortunate position on rubber, we shall
supply tire users at before-war prices
to the limit of our capacity.

ENSURES LIVES OF UMPIREs
National League Takes Out Policies
for Its BasebaIIers-Not
Afraid of Fans.

Arrangements have just been COM
pleted whereby the National league
has taken out accident insurance poll
cies in favor of the ten umpires on
the rolls of this organization.
This is not due to any demonstra-
lions on the part Of players or spec
tators that have been made or may
be made against the persons of the ar
biters of play, although it is not like
ly that the chance of some hayward
soda-pop bottle colliding with some
Empirical dome Of thought was al
together ignored.
The action of the league authorities
is in line with policy of protect
ing against railroad accidents, flying
balls and the like, it being the prac-
tice, when an umpire has been in
jured in the line of duty, to defray
the cost of medical and surgical at
tention. while at the same time keep
ing the incapacitated field judges
upon the salary rolls during periods
of inactivity.
Terms of the policies call for pay
ment of s25 week while victims are
out of commission, $4,000 in event of
death and $4,000 in event of death in
a railroad accident. 1t is considered
likely that the American league viii
follow suit.

Someone has revived the question
as to whether big men or little men
play the better baseball. The ques-
ton is good deal like the one dis
cussed among players-whether nine
Walter Johnsons could beat nine Ty
Cobbs. But it is interesting. Here
are teams fan suggests:
Little team-O'Neill and Schalk,
catchers; Cicotte and Fisk pitchers;
McInnes, first base; Evers, second
base; Meanwhile, shortstop; Maisel,
third base; Leach, Milan and Ehler,
outfield.
Tall team-McLean, catcher; Main,
Davenport and Falkenberg, pitchers;
knight, first base; Cutshaw or Black
burn, second base; Mcbride, short
stop; Moriarity, third base; Hoffman,
Collins and Snodgrass, out6eld.
Big team-Meyers and Henry catch
ers; James, Reulbach, Hagerman and
Vaughn, pitchers; ]. Miller. first base;
Lajoie, second base; Wagner, short
stop; Zimmerman, third base; Old
ring, Vincent Campbell and Hyatt,
outfield
One can pick little team that
probably would win, tall team the
same way, and the big team just as
easily. Undoubtedly the style Of ball
players now runs to the strong. big

sPITBALL is IN DIsREPUTE
Wise Pitchers In Big Leagues Have
Cast Moist Sphere Aside
Shortens Careers.

The spitball is falling into disuse,
says the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Very few of the twirlers in the big
leagues are using it today, and those
who do are using it sparingly. The
wise pitchers have cast it aside, know
ing that even though the use of the
moist fling may add to their string
of victories, it will mean the shorten
ing of their careers.
Jack Chesbro used 1t back in 1904
when he almost pitched the Yankees
into the leadership of the league. But
the use of the spitball practically
ruined Chesbro as a star performer.
Ed Walsh used the spitball for several
years, and his success was phenomen-
al But the price was high, for Walsh's
arm today is in such condition that he
never knows whether it will serve him
the full route or whether a kink will
appear and force him to surrender the
hurting job to relief pitcher
Jeff Tesreau used the spitball to a
great extent when he first landed on
major league soil. But he isn't doing
it with such reckless abandon as of
yore. jeff soon learned that the spit
ball 'kinked'' the arm, if used freely,
and now he throws it only in emergen-
cies.
There are several other pitchers in
the big leagues who still throw the
spitball, but they are throwing it just
about half dozen times during the
game. Some of the fans believe they
throw it oftener because of the decep-
ton practiced by the pitcher-of put
ting the ball up near the mouth and
seeming to lubricate it. Batters aren't
fond of spitballs. They hate to see
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1914-09-16

them coming. So the pitchers who
have discarded the use of the damp
ened twister very often bluff at pitch
ing one.
The passing of the spitball comes
as good news to the inf1elders. In the
years when the spitball was generally
used errors were frequent on account
of the spitbaIl. A pitcher would gloss
the ball freely with saliva and slippery
elm or tobacco juice, batter would
hammer it to the infield, the infielder
would grab it and start to throw, only
to find that the slippery ball had
glided from his fingers. Quite often
when the infielder was able to get the
ball away in the direction of the base
the ball would take wild slant and
result in horrible error.

LONGEST BALL GAME PLAYED
Jack coombs and Jumbo Harris were
Opposing Boxmen-Contest Went
Twenty-four Innings.

The longest major league game was
played on September 1, 1906, between
the Boston and Philadelphia American
league clubs in Boston, when the Attn
letics won by score of to in "a IN

from Colby college, and Jumbo Har-
ris, a young pitcher from the New
England league, were the respective
boxmen used by the Philadelphia and
Boston teams. The game lasted four
hours and At minutes. The previous
longest games in the National league
were played in Cincinnati on June 80,
1892, and at Philadelphia on August

fellows, especially in the pitching line.
-Four out of every five pitchers in the
major leagues now are close to six
feet and 200 pounds. Styles have
changed wonderfully. The managers
are after men with the weight and
strength to stand the wear and tear
of season, or of dozen seasons,
but the little men are not barred
Look back over the lists: Arson,
Delehanty, Comiskey, Williamson,
were giants of men. Arson wanted
huge fellows with driving power be-
hind them. On the other hand, Hugh
Duffy was at his greatest at 40
pounds, Willie Keller weighed about
135, McGraw was little man; Grit
fifth, Cunningham, Radbourne, Billy
Sullivan, scores of great players, were
small
Tip O'Neill weighed SO pounds when
he was catching 200-pound pitchers,
who took a five-foot run and hurled
the ball at him from so feet. Rusie
was of the fat, short-armed type, and
so was Toad Ramsey. Michels, Tacks
Parrot, and Scissors Foutz were slim.

So it doesn't seem to make much
difference 1t is the spirit in the man,
rather than the size, that makes the
ball player.
