Declares Washington's Third 6aseman
Is the Only Reliable Hit and Run
Batter In American League-Cobb
Greatest Hitter.
When should q catcher call for q
pitch-out? Is the waste bah a good
defense?
These two questions were shot at
Hugh Jennings, Detroit's fiery man
ager, recently. His reply was:
There is only one out and out re-
Liable hit and run batter in the Amer
lean league. That is Eddie Foster,
Washington's third baseman. With only
one such consistent hit and runner,
why should catchers be so prone to call
for pitch-outs?
'Two Of the best catchers who ever
lived were Duke Farrell and Wilbert
Robinson. Seldom did either call for
a pitch-out except when Willie Keeler
was at bat, for he could hit to any
field.
MY belief is that the waste ball
should be called for but rarely, and
never If the pitcher shows tendency
10 he Wild. There is an opposite rule
TO be followed as well, which is never
hit and run when the pitcher is wild, as
n base on balls is much more to be de-
sired than the chance Of poling q ball
through vacated territory.
Il have known instances where there
was a wild pitcher in the box and the
team at bat hung out the hit and run
sign so that it could be read by a blind
man. Why? They wanted the catch
or TO see the sign and to call for pitch
outs, knowing it was a hard job for
the pitcher to get it over as it was and
that a few waste balls would have him
up in the air completely and either
passing the batteries or growing the
ball for them.
"Of course l do not know much about
the National league batters, so I can.
not speak for the old league. But dc
know that the batters in our league dc
not practice the hit and run. Ty Cobb
is the greatest hitter the world has
known, but he is no hit and run bat
ter for the reason he has not given il
any attention to speak of. The tenden
cy of all the would be hit and run bat
tcrs is TO hit the ball as hard as they
can and trust to luck to it going safe
ly. The true hitter and runner like Eos
ter, however, has the knack of JUS
meeting the bail and making q real ef
fort to hit it through the territory va
Gated by the fielder who goes to cove
the base
But UP to date the hit and run pla.
as 1t Is attempted in the American
league Is little to be feared"

the Braves.
Bressler pitched onc-hit game against
the Yankees yesterday and scored one of
the runs for his side with a homer

1913, has been sold to Indianapolis
Mamaux, the Pittsburg youthful twirler
who forced himself upon Clarke, has a rec
ord of II victories and only four defeats
to date and leads the National league
pitchers.
Clark Griffith, manager Of the Washing
ton Americans, will appear as a member
Of the Boston Nationals for a moment
when the team plays its first game on
Braves field tomorrow. President James
+. Gaffney of the Braves announced last
night that Griffith would pitch the first
ball in the game with st. Louis and that
/ Manager George T. Stallings of the Bos-
tons would catch. 1t will count officially
+ as bali or strike, he said. Griffith, a
! former pitcher, and Stallings, a catcher
/ in other years, are close friends
! 1t has been claimed that when pitcher
| has gotten through eight innings without
a hit recorded against him and the de
fcated team has no hope of winning, the
batsmen do not attempt to spoil the no
hit record. Bubbles Yesterday Will

BIRD TELLS HOW HE:
WAS CONVERTED IN 1906

In commemoration OF his CONVEX
sion nine years ago Rev. Ray A. Bird,
who has been superintendent of the
City Mission on Jefferson blvd. for the
past year. told the story of his con-
version I'm Saginaw. Mich, oct. 13,
1905
Rev. Bird said he was walking
down the street in Saginaw drunk and
feeling as desperate and mean as any
"down-and-outer" that walks the
streets and allies of the big cities to-
day. Passing the little mission super
intended by George w. Trotter. who
spoke here last week, Bird heard the
singing of hymns through the open
door and began to investigate, not
knowing whether he was entering a
saloon or church and passed through
the door where he met Trotter. AS
this case was only a common one to
Trotter he soon had Bird IN a pew and
talking to him of the manner in which
he was living and the opposite way
in which he should live. Prayer was
asked for him that evening at the
mission and every night after that for
two years Bird was on the lob, not
entering in a drunken manner. but
helping the other sinners who came
I'm in that style. One years ago he
was given the position he now holds
by Mel Trotter. who has charge of
the mission over Bird.
