HIS SETTER.
Can Throw tho. Splitter Where He Desires-DeoeiVes Base Runners.

Wonderful control of a most decep- tive splitter was the best bet of Ed Walsh, when at the very height of his career. The famous White Sox star seemed able to put the splitter just where he desired it, and with three balls and two strikes on the batter, would almost invariably come back with the spitbau when the average pitcher would trust to luck and use the fast one.
 While perhaps not given so much consideration by the public, ball play CTS were bothered more by Walsh's deceptive move to first base than by his mystifying spitball. For years the move of Wash in trying to catch men mapping at first base. has been & bone of contention in the American league. Every now and then the umpires To- gard it as a ballz and so cali it. How ever, if the umptres acted on the Judgment of the players, a. ba1k would be called on Walsh every time he threw to first base. There is no deny ing the decepdFeness of Walsh's move. It is the smoothest best oiled motion to first that I have ever seen any pitcher possess It must be out of the ordinary when 1t fools every body concerned, base runners in par ticular.

 The improved tone of the later deal ings was influenced by the United States Steel corporation's monthly figures of untitled tonnage.

 Perhaps the most active influence in bringing about the early decline in stocks was free selling for foreign ac- count.

 After the points of the game were explained the authorities still insisted that g. net be erected within the Stad- ium to protect the spectators. Even when promises were given that this precaution would be taken, permission was withheld until Wednesday at noon, when a few innings will be play ed for the benefit of the authorities who desire to judge for themselves what manner of game the American national pastime is.
 Arrangements have been made for an audience with the pope tomorrow, but on account of the action of the civic authorities some of the players will have to forego this honor.
