10 a safe spot. l suppose man with the
puzzling break to his curve could strike
out twice as many players as he actually
does Take Christy Mathewsonin his prime
and with his almost unhitable fadeaway
working right. He could pile up strike
outs by the Dozen no doubt. Yet Matty
always was satisfied to have the oppo-
nents hit the ball until he got into
tight place, when he usually could ran
a man IL he made up his mind that was
the thing to do.
The reason that pitchers do not try for
strike-out records is easily understood.
In the first place man would wear his
arm out pitching that sort of a game. He
would have to put something on every
ball he shot up to the plate, and his con-
troll would have to be perfect.
Then. too, the finger who would try
to fan every batsman who faced him
probably would pile up base on balls
record which would equal his strike-outs
/ will attempt to explain this.
Ordinarily, when l am pitching, try
to give a man ball that he doesn't like
to hit. Player A may be positively weak
when II comes to banging a pitch that
is low and on the outside corner. Player
b may kill that sort of a ball, but pop
up one that is high and close to him.
Virtually every big league batsman has
a weakness, as the fans know.
Well, If | can pitch low ones on the
outside corner to Player A, he will have
to swing at them. If my control is good,
I'll get them over the corner so the UNI
pire will call them strikes, and rather
than look at the third one the batsman
will try to hit 1t. But, while he will man
age to connect with the baseball a good
many times, he will not be able to hit
it hard or safe. The same thing applies
to Player b, except that in his case /
keep them high and inside.
I expect both these men to hit the
ball, and sometimes they will manage
to get one where 1t can't be fielded and
it will go for a base hit. But the chances
are greatly against them hitting the ball
safe when l keep it where they don't
like it,
Therefore, the pitcher usually is trying
to take advantage of the batsman's weak
ness and seeking to make him hit the
ball.
On the other hand. If I were trying to
strike out Player A, 1 would be COM
PEELED to outguess him. That is, I would
have to pitch a ball that would break
down, up, inside or outside. so that ht
would be fooled and would swing at 1t an6
| miss 1t. Possibly l could do that once
or twice. But after a while he would
begin to look them over. BY that

Twenty witnesses were interrogat-

When Baby Comes.

Before baby comes there is period
when experienced mothers are glad to
aid the eXpectant mothers. They urge
the use of Mothers Friend, obtained
at any drug store, because this safe,
harmless external remedy is positive
ly necessary since it brings relief in
easing the muscles, cords, tendons
and ligaments involved, and unneces-
sary pain is avoided; thus it serves to
ease the mind and has a beneficial
effect on the nervous system. In many
cases nausea, morning sickness and
other distresses are avoided.

made. Real leather upholstery and
the latest type of self-lubricating
springs makes the car one of the
easiest riding machines that has ever
been marketed Among the unusual
features on the car is the speedom-
eter drive, which is connected di-
rectly to the transmission and is,
therefore, practically trouble-proof.
The arrangement of the transmission
gears is also a novel one, no gears
except the third being in operation

drive.

PAVING
HIGHLY PRAISED
CITY ENGINEER MUENINGER OF
BATON ROUGE, La, HAS SOME
NICE THINGS TO. SAY ABOUT
PENSACOLA.

Wood block paving, and in fact the
entire system of paving, in the city
of Pensacola, was praised highly by
an authority on such matters yester-
day when City Engineer Mueninger,
of Baton Rouge, La, who came here
''for some DOTS" as it was expressed,
had returned from a ride about the
city with Commissioner johnson and
City Engineer L. Earle Thornton.
The visiting engineer came to
Pensacola, it was stated, for the pur-
pose of looking over the wood block
paving, and he seemed much pleased
with what he found. His city, he said,
is just now putting down some paw
ing and is contracting for some more,
hence his desire to see the system
which he had heard some consider
able talk of, and upon his return, it
is almost sure, he will carry such good
impressions of the local system that
he will recommend the same material
in case of additional contracting be-
ing made by his town.

loss of . new suit of clothes which
he had just purchased, the sum of $50

for the sum of $40, all of the above
having been stolen few nights ago
from the home of Mr.. Laws, just

would try to unload the money order,
which was made payable to party in

deputies clue as to his identity
Nothing of the kind has been done

Sullivan Hands
In Resignation
To President
by ASSOCIATED pPEss

Washington, July 23.-James M.
Sullivan, American minister to the
Dominion Republic, has rendered his
resignation to President Wilson and
it has been accepted. Mr.. Sullivan's
resignation is the consequence of an
investigation, conducted by the state
department by Senator Phelan of
California, into the minister's fitness
for his Office. The findings were un-
favorable to Mr.. Sullivan.
Senator Phelan's report has been at
the state department and before Pres
ident Wilson several weeks. Soon
after it was received it was reported
he had been asked to resign and had
been given short time to consider it.
Senator Phelan took testimony in
the Dominican republic and in the
United States at which witnesses
charged that Secretary Bryan in ap-
pointing Sullivan had been consulted
by friends associated with Samuel M.
Jarvis of New York, who controls the
Banco National at Santo Domingo
city which was seeking deposits of
customs dues collected by the United
States. Other witnesses gave testi-
mony to show that the minister was
interested in securing contracts there
for other Americans. Former Cover
nor Fort of New Jersey and other
witnesses testified that Sullivan was
'big hearted, good natured and hon
est"
The report, which Secretary Ian
sing announced today would not be
made public until next week is under
stood to sustain many of the charges
against Sullivan.
