NEW YORK. Jan 90. Without vio-

assume too much, 1t might be stated
that the opinion prevails that the

as the fighting must be done by the

opinions. there is wide gulf between
theory and practice insofar as few

War Clubs FOR pirates.

Fred Clarke. manager of the Pitts
burgh Pirate, has a new one to spring
when the season opens. He has order
ed war club for his team. Every.
body probably has noticed that before
a batter goes to the plate he picks
up two or three bats and swings them
around, the object being to get his
muscles accustomed to the weight so
that when he drops all but one it
seems much lighter and easier to
irving. That is where Clarke's new
stunt comes in.
He has ordered a special bat about
three times as thick and as heavy as
the ordinary instrument of swat. He
figures that it will be easier to swing
than flock of bats, such as the play
ers now use, but will give the same
results.
