LEE F0HL TEACHES
MANAGERS NEW ONE
Cleveland Leader Keeps Team
Near Lead With Weakest
Hurting Corps in League.
MATTY PICKS UP SYSTEM

Cleveland, O., Aug l9-Lee Foil,
though never big Lacquer. has taught
the managers lesson in the handling
of pitchers. That lesson, incidentally,
explains just how the Cleveland lndi-
ans have managed to keep flirting
with the American league lead in face
of the weakest staff in the circuit.
Lee Fohl's method is best exem-
plifcd in Bob Shawkey, premier twirl-
er OF the Yanks, who grabbed the idea
little ahead of the Cleveland leader,
Christy Mathewson is now a strong
advocate of the same system.
Did you ever notice" said Math-
ewson while here with the Reds, that
the pitchers who have to warm up
continually are in better shape than
the regulars who rush ont and work
couple of innings to be prepared
in case of emergency"
"l'll tell you,' he said in answer
to an inquiring look.
The pitcher who rushes out there
and warns up two innings only to re-
turn to the bench is usually covered
with perspiration He then sits on
the bench and i'll his damp clothing
gets chilled. His muscles become stiff
fened and it takes him a week or more
to work out the stiffness.
Watch Bob Shawkey," he suggest
ed. AT the end of every game you
will see him down in the bull pen
warming up for two or three innings.
Whether he has to pitch or not, he is
always ready, but the trick is that
as the game is over he rushes into
the shower and gets all the benefit
of a short workout The pitchers who
start earlier get cold and clammy and
suffer accordingly.
If all pitchers would use the Shaw
key method everyone of them would
be in shape to start any time"
The answer is obvious. 1t is true
that Shawkey uses this system and it
happens to be true that he has pitch
ed in more games than any pitcher
in the American league.
Lee Foil, knowing the advantage of
a pitcher being able to run direct from
his warmup into the shower, has four
of his twirlers take on hard workout
every afternoon and be handled by the
rubber just the same as if they had
pitched game. As a result he has
kept up in front with twirling staff
supposed to be one of the weakest
in the circuit
