TWILIGHT LEAGUE

BaffIed by Abe" Martins delivery,
the Norris Candy Kids were humbled
by the Chero-Colas in 6 to 1 game.
The game proved interesting despite
the rather one-sided score.
The Candy Kids could muster only
one hit, c. Morgan's single to center,
while the Colas touched Bombay for
singles and a double in one inning
and Rogers for ? hits in 3 innings.
The CheTo- Colas got busy in the
first on a walk, wild pitch, and four
clean hits. Rogers was sent in to pitch
IN the second and held the Chero-
Colas down to two scattered hits, but
the damage had already been done.
Salmon, although injured in the foot,
went in at this juncture and caught
q good game. The Colas scored two in
the third on three errors and a hit.
The Candy Kids scored one in the
fourth inning on a hit and errors,
Besides NIertin's twirling, Grahan's
hitting featured; he hit for a single
and a double in three times up McIn-
tosh umpired.
Todays Game.
This afternoon the CherO Colas play
off their postponed game with the
Shop Boys. The latter played a jam
up game last Tuesday and are deter
mined to give the pop" boys a trim

Another Freak Episode.

Baseball. as suggested here before.
is full OF freak episodes and here's
still anOther-showinE the queer
kinks mixed In with the summer
jubilee.
Some time ago the Red SoK visited
Washington When Csrrigan heard
that johnson was to pitch he decided
to count this battle as a game lost
to save his best slabmen and TO stick
in "A yOunGster.
The younGstrr he stuck in was
Rankin Johnson-and Rankin beat
Walter 20 0.
Now the Red Sox johnson has been
able to do little against other clubs
His exit has come fairly regularly
from the third to the NTH round. But
against Walter Johnson, since that
debut. he looks like the best pitcher
in the world
For ALI told he has now worked
three games against his monarchial
namesake and in those three games
has beaten Walter twice and has held
Washington to exactly one run IN
the - rounds Walter beat him once
but the margin was to only.

USED GLYCER|NE ON
HIS SAL|VARY SHOOT
Tommy Bond Believed to Have
Done This Way Back in '73,
Writes Fullerton.
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON.

CHICAGO. June The fellow who
is writing Ed Walsh's stuff for him
having opened UP the subject Of the
spitball 1t seems about time for some
one to tell the orisin OF that moist
delivery ana its evolution. They are
talking now of using a patent moist
cucr, attached to the belt of the pitcher.
10 make the use OF saliva unnecessary.
Perhaps they think they are invent
ing something new. One evening wears
sGU in Washington some OF ths White
Sux and Washington players and oGr
cussins the spitbalI. Most of the
younger generation heid that Elmer
Strcklett, who revived II and taught
IL 10 the White Soa pitchers, wa the
inventor.
One claimed that Al Orth used il,
which he did, in peculiar manner. The
Littl.. Judge declared he had seen the
spitbalI used years before Orth started.
Finally We decided to walk down town
and ask Uncle Mike Scanlon, who is
the final resort in such cases.
Uncle Mike was one of the organlZ-
ers OF the first Washington baseball
club and during the late sos and early
'70s he was a player and manager. We
found Uncle Mike.
"welI.'' he said, Il can't recollect who
the first pitcher was that I saw use the
spitball. The first one of whom | have
any keen recollection was Tommy Bond.
when he pitched for me at New Bed
ford, in the Eastern League. in 1873
ommy had a fine spitball. He used to
carry bottle OF slyCerine in his hip
pocket and put drop OF two OF II on
his finger tips before pitching"

What's the Answer.

What's tho answer? Should ball
club purposely loaf and drift along in
April in order to keep from winning
carly games and from setting an early
and a hOOdooed pace?
Not |ct. But IL is Just as well for a
hall club 10 remember that there are
lji games and SIN months battling in
pennant race. and the first six weeks
should only he taken at an easy stride.
especially in the way of over working
pitchers Briefly. the time for the sprint
is not at the start-but after June.
The Washington times., 1914-06-07
The Records.

This reply sounds logical enough. but
we still stick to our original document
that setting the early pace is inclined
10 develop a big handicap later on.
When our contention was first
launched, Detroit and Pittsburgh were
far out in the lead. You may observe to-
day that neither is leading and that
both cracked almost at the same
urtimely moment. They cracked just 8
Brooklyn and Philadelphia tracked last
wear after setting the pace through
MAY and Just as the White Cox did in
1912, and as Detroit did in 1911. Even
with sixteen-game lead piled up
through an early dash in 1912. tie
Giants lost most of this lead by August
and came within an ace of being nipped
at the finish.
The Washington times., 1914-06-07
Holding Back the Giants.

Unless the Western entries can
make bold stand on the Polo
Grounds and hold the Giants in check.
the y. l.. pennant race is likely 10 be
fairly well settled within the next
three weeks.
McGraws club is now esconced at
home for A long run and only deter
mined opposition by the Western
clubs can keep the flag fight going
much lonCer--as there isn't a club in
the circuit with enough inherent
speed and power TO close up any big
gap which New York will otherwise
open
Neither Pittsburgh or Cincinnati
can afford to let the Giants get well
ahead and expect to Overtakc them
later on. for neither Pittsburgh or
Cincinnati has a machine Of tha I
power. But as long as Herzog has
held the Reds in second place as far
along as June. II is quite evident that
anything can happen in this game
and nearly everything does.
