BATTERS HAVE FUNNY POSES
Odd Stunts Calculated to Upset the
Pitchers Are Pulled Off by
Many Heavy Hitters, W
TY COBB MAKES A BIG NOISE


Batters have their peculiar notions
about taking their position at bat, and
most of them have some little oddities
they indulge in just before stepping into
the batsman's box. A few really believe
that by going through a certain set OF
motions and ridiculous didos It will bring
good luck. Others do II for effect a
grandstand play. or for their own amuse-
ment. However. the great batsmen Of
the game. with few exceptions, rarely in
dulge In any of this fancy stuff either
before or after getting to the plate. Sam
Crawford, L. Lajoie. "Honus" Wagner.
Home Run Baker, and few others
OF our famous batsmen have very bust
nesslike air about them when taking
their positions at the plate. The fact
that they are there is sufficient to worry
any pitcher.
A chap by the name of Lewee. who
used to play with Kansas City, had a
stunt he always pulled off before hitting
at ball that reminded one OF an Indian
medicine man going through his mys-
FERROUS incantations invoking aid from
before his turn came to face the pitcher
Lewee would take his cap in his left
hand then. swinging It slowly around,
would face the sun-that is, II it were
visible-then walk slowly TO the plate.
| step on it with both feet, carefully turn
round twice. step back. and hit the ball
that is. if he did not strike out.
''Ty' Cobb makes great fuss before
going to the plate, and generally creates
great fuss after reaching IL. "Fy"
swings an armful of bats for a long time
before he stalks to the plate, but he
only uses one. although many pitchers
Imagine he still has the armfuI by the
manner In which he iambasts the ball.
Cobb has some stunts that are annoy
ing TO the pitcher that he pulls off IN be
tween balls and strikes, whichever the
case miSht be. He will pose as II ready
Tor the onslaught, then suddenly stoop
down and grab handful Of dirt Just as
the pitcher is about TO pitch. "Ty'' does
not seem TO worry whether the ball goes
over the plate or not. for Cobb takes a
strike about as meekly as any man In
the league-bnt he can afford 20.
Both Mike" Kelly and Arlie Latham
have the credit for being the first players
TO take their bats and draw line indicat-
ing his position, or where he would stand
and dare the pitcher 10 put the bali within
mile Of 1t. Sometimes after drawing
the line Latham would pull his cap over
one eye. cross his legs and lean on his
bat and challenge the pitcher 10 stick
three out Of eight over Ceight chances
those days..
cap" Arson never said much before
coming 20 bat, or when at bat. for he.
like Cobb, had very little regard for balls
or strikes. for he knew he could hit IL
when he was ready. But after hitting.
! II the umpire's decision robbed him OF
what he thought was a safe drive. or a
decision at first went against him, then
you would hear Pops" roar a mile
away.

Old Baltimores
First Nine of Men
!. /, Who Used Brains


NEW YORK, March 27--The old Balti-
more team OF 1S94-5. one of the greatest
teams ever gotten together, originators
Of the new style of ball play, was
galaxy OF athletes who were endowed
with brains and Drawn, and made them
count I'm the game OF base ball. With
pitching staff composed of such mediocre
hurlers as Hemming. Bsper and Hopper,
with the old stars who were in the scar
and yellow. such as Tony Mullane. KID"
Gleason and Dumping McMahan. the
team won three pennants Later It added
Arlie Pond and Jimmy McJames An
these hurlers made records In games won
owing to the brilliancy of the team be-
hind them.
A most peculiar fact about the famous
Baltimores of 1s94-b was that they were
all at one time or another battery men.
John McGraw began his career on the
diamond as q pitcher and was credited
with being very tricky but a fierce
kicker. Hugh Jennings was no false
alarm as a catcher. and his friends de-
clare that he made a mistake when he
switched for an infield position. Wee
Willie" Keller was a left-handed hur.rr,
but lacked weight for pitching, but
seemed to have the necessary avoirdupois
TO hit a ball as hard as the best The
noted Ed Hanlon. manager of the team,
used to pitch before taking TO the OUT
field.
Thon there was Manager Joe Kelley
Of the Torontos. When Joe was full
fledged oriole he played the outfield, but
Mr. Kelley won considerable fame as a
! hurler OF curves and otherwise Even
big Dan" Brouthers began his base ball
career as a pitcher. but that was away
back Reitz, the second baseman, aldj
lnfielder h. Bonner were good catchers
and spent part Of their minor league days
behind the bat. and the famous Walter
tSteve) Brodie, was clever backstopper
at one time. So every player on that
famous old team won his spurs either as
pitcher or curves, or as receiver OF
them.
-Four OF the famous squad are now four
OF the greatest managers In the game
and 'Ktd" Gleason Is In line for big
league job as manager and Il Is not to
DO wondered that the Baltimore team
OF those days won remnants with j. Nc
Graw. Hugh Jennings. Wilbur Robinson,
Joe Kelley In its ranks and Edward Han

Cantillon Saves
Money for Street
To His Displeasure

Sweeney. the Hlghianders' classy re-

troit were tied up in a stiff battle In
Detroit back in 1909. when the Tigers were
champions" states the husky one. "Gabby
had had a great day. He had walloped
George Mullln for three hits and had
pegged out five Tigers on the base lines.
He went up In the ninth with the tying
run on third and one down. Gabby soaked
the bail on line to Mullln, who speared

followed and that ended the game.

Encourage Base
Ball in the Army
And Navy Posts

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Base ball
as a means of encouraging recruiting for
the army and navy is the latest plan
being tried by the government services.
Secretary Garrison of the army strongly
favors the plan, and the various recruit
ing stations are already on the lookout
for recruits who can play the game.
1t is proposed to form leagues among
tho various recruiting stations and pro-
mote interest in the camps. In Chicago
the scheme has gone so far that President
Weeghman of the Federal league club
has given permission for the soldiers to
use his park to play their games. 1t is
now expected that the clubs in other
leagues will make similar offers.
In accepting President weeghman's
offer Secretary Garrison Of the army
wrote:
ut is the aim OF the military authori-
ties to make the army as attractive TO
young men as is possible to make It con-
sistent with the purpose for which they
enter the service of the United States.
With this end in view. athletics are al
ways encouraged, and base ball Is one
of the most popular of athletic sports
throughout the army. Furthermore, I
am keenly interested in securing good
clean men for the army and feel satisfied
that there is no better field for securing
such men than among base ball players"
In the Navy department word has been
sent out 10 many of the officials in
charge of recruiting stations TO pay spe-
cial attention in making reports of re-
eruits TO mention about the knowledge
and experience is base ball. Last season
there was team of recruits in Nor
folk. Va, which played nlnety-two games
during the season and lost only twenty
two, a record which they boast OF and
maintain is not equaled by any amateur
| club In the country.
