PINCH PITCHER, NEW ROLE
HELD DOWN BY CARL MAYS
Manager Bill Carrigan's System of Using q
Pitcher With Peculiar Delivery for
Relief Work Only Gets Results

ment out of the ordinary to offer: Mays
is one of the few pitchers in the big
league with an underhand delivery.
Batters who had been taking lbertles
with the southpaws and right handlers
of the Boston staff saw something dlf-
and the big blond HEAVIER nipped many
rally in the bud with his peculiar
style of serving them up.
Seldom Used Alexander Out of Turn.
Most managers with so great pitch
er as Alexander would have worked
that person to death as a relief pitch
er, but Manager Moran employed just
the opposite tactics with his star. Not
until the season was half over did
Moran call upon Alexander the Great
to take up the burden of some falter-
ing pitcher. and only then because his
club needed that game to restore its
confidence, which was being shattered
because of a batting slump. Moran
figured the odds greatly favored Alex
ander to win every time he started.
and he conserved all the big fellows
strength, so that he could put forth
his best in each effort. The showing
of Alexander and the Phillies rs mute
testimony of the wisdom of Moran's
policy.
AS long as base ball is played the
big problem of the manager will be his
selection of pitchers. Since managers
have different theories as to how to
get the best results, as long as the
game will be played various methods
of working d pitching staff will re-
main in vogue. 1t is the one job that
causes most big league leaders to
spend many sleepless night.

and show.the fans that you are willing
to take on all real bantams.
frankie Callahan, the Brooklyn light
weight, gave boxing fans of the mid
die west a chance to look him over
this week when he bumped into Benny
Palmer, Mexican youth who has been
making some good fights lately around
these parts. Callahan, a husky Hebrew
with an Irish name. proved that he has
the Wallop all right, for he penetrated
Palmer's defense in the fifth and eighth
rounds and gave him severe beating
about the body. The Mexican youth
proved game and took his medicine and
came back strong for more. 1t was
Ca1lahan's fight on points, but not by
a big margin. The fans did not wonder
that he once put the K. o. over on Joe
Rivers after witnessing his style of
delivering the pife-driving punches.
On the same card were two 'promis
ing welterweights in Art Magirl, the
southern champion, and Len Rowlands
Of Milwaukee. 1t was whirlwind
fight and a good draw. Rowlands was
by far the cleverer of the two, and
used a splendid left jab to good eff
feet. Magirl was aggressive every mo-
ment and never seemed to tire. AS a
grand finale to the show, fire broke
out during the night in the Arcadia,
damage to the extent of $1,000. The
Arcadia was built about eleven years
ago on the site where the famous Pan
Drama stood so many years and where
many famous bouts of years gone by
were held, such as Stanley Ketchell
VS.. Billy Papke, Hugo Kelly and Papke,
Benny Yanger and Charlie Neary.
Herrera and Neary, Santry and Neary,
Jimmy Gardner and Dougherty and
others. The National A. c. holds forth
there now. The place may be fixed up
in time for the club to continue its
shows in a month or SO.

Marshall Challenges Caaa-
blanca for Games to Decide
Pan-American Honors.
CHAMPIONS MAY BE SEEN
IN ACTION IN WASHINGTON
Contests, if Arranged. to Take Place
Here. in Havana. Buenos Aires
and Rio Janerio.

The chess champion of the Lntted
States. Frank ]. Marshall, has issued n
challenge to Jose K. Capablsnca, cham
pion of Cuba for match which.
should it be played. viii be the most
important chess battle in the history OF
the game. Marshall proposes to play
for the title of pan American chess
champion" Coming ut this time, when
a pan mericanism which shall bind
this country to the Latin Americas ny
every friendly tie known to nations is
the dream of every true statesman
from the great lakes to the Horn, Mar
sllalrs challenge is an inspiration.
Capa blanca, who is as much at home IN
Rio Janerio Buenos Aires as he is
in Havana is admittedly the greatest
chess master of Latin extraction in the
world today, while Marshall stands in
:class by himself in this country.
John Barrett, director general of the
Pan-American Union. expressed him
self as being enthusiastically in favor
of a match for the pan-American chess
championship. saying. such contest
may well he the beginning of friendly
rivalries in all branches of sport be-
tween this country and her sister re-
publics of the south. The idea of pan
American titles appeals to me strongly.
They would be the common property
of every nation in this hemisphere,
cherishing and proclaiming a unity
which perhaps political or commercial
mutual advantage could not express.
In keeping with the pan-American
spirit of this match il is planned 70
play games in this city. Havana. Rio
Jauerio and Buenos Aires, and every
effort will be made to obtain for il Il
list of patrons fully representative of
Pan-America.
While Capablanca has not as yet ac-
cepted Marshalrs def, the Cuban never
| has been known to refuse fair offer
| of battle. and ii is expected that the
| terms of play will be easily arranged.
No great difficulty is expected in rails
| ing a proper purse for this encounter,
and unless some unlooked-for hitch
occurs play should start in about a
month.
| One of the most original and brilliant
com bination players. Janowski. in his
game with Capablanca missed the
| easiest kind of chance to score at the
expense of the great Cuban In the
| stress of battle all masters have been
| known to blunder, but it is not often
| that SO skilled a veteran as the French
| champion overlooks such a simple win
as he had in the following position:
/ Capablanca played II, Kt-R2, and inn
mediately rose from the table and told
| some of the other players that he had
| a lost game. To the surprise of every
| one, Janowski missed his chance entire
| ly and in few moves later made n
blunder which lost the exchange and
| eventually the game.

Interesting Golf Notes
From the Local Clubs

= The indoor golf tournament planned
by the Riding and Hunt Club for this
week has been postponed until pro-
in charge feels that the success of the
event depends largely upon having
capable man to take charge and that
none of the members of the club would
be able to give the necessary time. Pro-
fessional George Sargent has decided
not to take up the work, as he plans
to leave Washington March l for Min
neapolis to become pro at the Inter
lachen Country Club. while Jack Bur-
CESS, his successor, prefers to confine
all his energy toward making good in
his new position. The only other local
professionals are Howard Beckett of
Club, and Fred Mcleod of Columbia,
and one of these will be offered the
place this week. 1t is believed that the
first-named would be the better man
for this particular job on account of the
experience gained by him last year at
the Saks' Indoor School. while Mcleod
has never even played the indoor game
II the Riding and Hunt Club can come
to satisfactory terms with one of these
men, he will be singed up Immediately
and the tourney announced probably
for next week.
One of the most important rules in
the golf book for tournament players,
and one that golfers seem to be less
familiar with than any other, is that
with reference to casual water. Rules
on this subject are of particular i'm
the fact that there is so much rain
here during the spring and fall sea-
sons that there are few local events
that do not meet with one or more
days OF bad weather, and in one or two
of the events held last year there were
several misunderstanding and in
few cases 1t was afterward learned
that the players thought they knew the
rules, followed their own ideas, and
States Golf Association has divided this
subject into three sections = casual
water in hazards, casual water through
the green and casual water on the put
ting green. II ball lies or is lost

spot at which the ball entered the

again it may be re-dropped without
penalty. In case a ball, on the putting
green, lies in casual water or if casual
water intervenes between the bah and
the hole. the ball may be played where
1t lies or it may be lifted, without
penalty, and be placed by hand either

In the ring White is absolute master.
He is firm stickler for strict observ-
ance of the rules, and will disqualify d
man quicker than most arbitrators.
He will not stand for any foolishness,
and if things do not look exactly right
he will slip through the ropes down the
aisle to the exit, leaving the culprits to
fake it out the best they can.
