MODERN HURLERS ARE FRAGILE
GUYS-SOX DROP AGAIN
BY Mark Shields

The trailty Of modern pitchers is
lamentable, and undoubtedly earns
them the deepest sympathy from
men who have such soft berths as
swinging a pick all day or breaking
out a few tons of coal for an after
moons pastime.
Well trained-theoreti at least
in condition for seven or eight
months of the year through the tonic
of exercise in the outdoor air, pitch
ers of the present day are unable to
stand any eXertiOn beyond throwing
"a baseball at the batters for eight or
nine innings once every four or five
days. Anything beyond that is too
strenuous for the finely trained ath-
letes.
Yesterday is an example, for BOTH
Alexander and Hendrix use their
trifie of exertion as an abb for the
manner in which their shoots were
pestled.
In the PhiIIy half of the fifth in
ming Alexander stole a base. The
experts explain that this unusual ex-
ertion was too much flor Alex, and
that is why the Cubs got to him for
four hits and three runs in the last
half of the session. After that one
-wobbly period Alex was invincible.
Then take the case of Claude Hem
Dirk a big strong person, who does
not Ieek as though he should tire
easily. Claude pitched alright ball
for five innings. In the fifth he par
took of one of Alexis shots, batting
it to center for a double. Immedi-
ately thereafter Schultz prodded a
single to center field and Hendrix
raced home Following this there
were two more hits, which consumed
some time, but Hendrix was all tired
out after his sprinting and was there
fore easy for the Philly batters to
solve.
Considering the fraiIty of the

from Roanoke Rapids. Rained
Out Yesterday
PLAY HERE TO-DAY
AND SATURDAY

The Tri-Town League was for
mally opened at the Emporia Park
on last Wednesday afternoon,
Judge Wester, of Emporia,
pitching the first ball. Over six
hundred spectators were present
to witness the opening game,
about one hundred having come
over from Rosemary and Roa
noke Rapids.
Neither team had gotten suf-
ficient practice to play really
fast baseball, but Emporia seemed
to have worked down more
smoothly than the Weavers and
took the game. 7 to 2. De Luca
for the Greens held the Weavers
down to six hite, whilaihc Greens
got ten hits OH Burnley. Neither
pitcher did any passing and there
were only two extra base hits,
a triple by Yoder and a double
by Slagel.
Emporia plays to-day and to-
morrow at the Roanoke Rapids
Ball Park and as both teams
have strengthened up consider
ably the fans are expecting fast
ball. Game will be called at
400 o'clock.
The Rosemary Concert Band
will be in attendance at the Sat
urday's game.
