Pre- SERIES DOPE AND SPILLEDII

play. King, Brown and Overall went
back to Chicago two weeks before the
opening battle OF the series to look
ever the White Sox for weaknesses.
When the club got back they told all
the mistakes the White Sox had made
and how We could beat them. And
they walloped the stuffing out of us.
As to Spying on Opposing Teams.
Mack has had Baker, Collins, Harry
Davis and some more OF his Heuten-
ants looking at the Boston club in New
York since II became sure that the
Athletics would meet Us In the
series. Stallings is not a great believ-
Ter In this and + doubt II anybody
from the Boston team looks over the
Athletics before the series. This pre-
caution is more apt to throw a man
% ffthan help him nine times out
Of ten For instance, one OF our
pitchers before the series with the
White S0x In 1906 was told that a
ceroin batter's weakness was fast
one, close I'm. The pitcher aimed at
this weakness. The batter slammed
the bail up against the fence, and the
pitcher naturally concluded that he
had figured the man wrong on the tip.
The pitcher also reasoned that ii the
batter hit what was said to he his
weakness the pitcher Eus or on the
rest OF the club
Such discovery throws pitcher
away up IN the air, worries him and
hurts his work. It is better for a
pitcher to just go in and work along.
Then, IL he finds q man touching up
a ball Of one sort, he thinks ne has
made a mistakeeand pitches different
~ to the batter. II may surprise some
Of my readers to have me say that the
big weakness of many of the greatest
hitters is d fast one right through the
heart of the plate, waist high. Zim.
merman misses more Of this kind
OF ball than any other. and 1t is-true
OF other star sluggers, too A ball just
al that point seems to AFFECT the an
gle Of the swing Of the bat.
