PROTOCOL IS SIGNED.
American and Mexican Peace Dele
gates Reach an Agreement.

Niagara Falls, Ont. June 1s.-The
mediating colony turned their
thoughts today from diplomatic
forms and protocols to questions OF
personnel for the new provisional
government of Mexico. They began
the search for the man of the hour
successor to Huerta, who shall be
acceptable to all factions. capable OF
pacifying Mexico so. that a constitu-
tional election may be held.
A man Of unusual qualifications IS
sought. He must be without violent
prejudices, who can conserve the IN
terests of the Huerta followers as
well as the Observation-Disclosures The
neutral populace, too, must be salts
fed that a sound and stable admins
tration will be inaugurated which
will be Immediately recognized by the
ally.
In a spirit of optimism. the media
tors and delegates began their task.
They felt today that they had accom-
plished much by the signing of the
first of the series Of protocols. IN
Mexican delegates. as i as the dip
lomatic representatives of Argentine,
Brazil and Chile, entered into in
agreement for the transfer of power
from the hands of General Huerta to
the new provisional president. in the
following manner:
A government Is to be constituted
in Mexico of a character to be later
provided. which shall be recognized
by the United States and the coun-
tries represented by the mediation
plenipotentiaries. Argentine. Brazil
and Chile on a date to be fixed and
which from that day forward shall
exercise public functions until there
shall be inaugurated a constitutional
president

taken into the United States district
court by the KANSAS City Terminal

the decision of the Kaw Valley drain

Club, was the greatest highlander
and he could almost win a game un-
aided. The great difficulty was to
find catcher that could hold him.
Give him a man behind the bat that
could hold his balls and he could al
most win game unaided.
Christy Mathewson hasn't much
speed, many curves, and his famous
"fade-away" ball is the purest bluff.
1t is simply a straight ball, thrown
with incredible slowness, which even
the most ordinary batter could murder
if he would only wait for it; but he
has the wisest noodle in the base Dall
world. He never puts anything OH
the ball but brains. He can size up
a batters weakness by intuition and
he works on that weakness. The
greatest batters in the game can't hit
certain kinds Of balls and that is the
kind they always get wnen Matthew
son lis pitching. He knows that If a
batter does hit the ball the chances
are two to one that some member Of
the team will capture it and he takes
those chances oftener than any other
pitcher in any other league. For the
number of runs scored off him more
hits have beer made than off any
other pitcher of any reputation. He
is what / term a Psychological
moundman. He has convinced the
members Of opposing teams that they
cont win when he is in the box and
so they cannot. He has impressed the
members of the New York club that
with him in place they are invincib3e
and SO they come pretty near being So.
Put him against great club that has
never heard Of big Six" and the
chances are they would knock him
out of the box the first inning. he
is one of the greatest Of base ball
pitchers simply because he has been
able to make the people believe that
such is the case. The only other slab
man that has ever approached him ir
gray matter was Win Mercer who
ended his own life in San Francisco
hotel many years ago by inhaling gas.
AS a matter of fact there is more
humbuggery about pitching than any
other part of the base ball game.
There are only really five kinds of
balls that can be thrown. A straight
ball, an out curve, an in curve, a drop
and an up curve; with the exception
of change of speed these are all the
variations. Every pitcher of big
league calibre can throw an "out' or
Sin, "a few have mastered the drop, not
one in hundred can throw an Sup
curve" The only man we ever saw
who could do it with S-y Cegree of
success was a frail college student
named James, who used to play with
Washington and Baltimore clubs and
who is now practicing dentistry in
Baltimore, and who only played few
seasons. The "knuckIe ball." the
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1914-06-04

"fadeaway" and numerous other "fan-
cy' stuff are simply the creation Of
imaginative base ball scribes, they
don't exist in reality.
The modern "spit ball" is a base
ball atrocity. 1t should be banished
from the game. 1t would be just as
sportsmanlike to smear a ball with
molasses or coat it with glue as to
soak in it tobacco juice O. daub it
with gum saliva. When a ball has
been soaked in spit the pitcher can't
control it; the catcher can't hold it.;
the batter may hit a mile or he may
foozle. If it gets into the hands of
fielder he may throw it to base
man or he may shy it over the grand
stand. Besides being filthy and un-
sanitary the "spit ball" supplants
base ball science with base ball luck.
The Inconsistency of the rule makers
is shown when they prohibit pitcher
from rubbing a new ball in the dirt
to give the pitcher grip on it and
permit him to soak it in saliva.
have been asked many times how
the modern game compares to old
time base ball. 1t has much more
science and much less base ball. In
the old days they played" ball; now
they work" ball. All the individual
ity is knocked out of the game. The
Manager" directs every move. He
does all the thinking for the team and
the players are mere autnmotons
blindly obeying his orders. If play
er conceived a bright idea while in
action and proceeded to put into play
without first consulting the mana
GER" he would be benched and fined
even if it won the game. The old in
simultaneously conceived and instan-
eously executed base ball stunts that
brought the bleachers to their feet
and set them wild with enthusiasm
have entirely disappeared from the
game. Players do the same thing in
the same way with monotonous regtl-
larity. Games are won or lost by the
manager" and not by the teams. The
fierce enthusiasm, the picturesque in
dividual guerillaism of the game have
been supplanted by the scientific dis
cipline of regular army tactics. How
the present base ball lights would
perform under the old regime where
every man did his own thinking, is
only conjecture, but it is certain that
| if an attempt had been made to trans
form the old time stars into mere ma
chimes and compelled them to perform
mechanically, the base ball diamond
would have been covered with dead
and wounded.
