American Bowling Congress
Will Open in Toledo March 4

Elaborate arrangements are being
made for the sixteenth annual tour
nanlent of the American bowling con-
gress in Toledo, o.. EIarch 4 to 25.
Toledo bowlers are well organized
and will contribute as their share of
the entry about two hundred teams,
being followed by Chicago with one
hundred teams, while 1t is predicted
that the lists will include over six
hundred teams of flve men each, flf-
teen hundred teams of two bowlers
each and over three thousand indlvid-
uals, bringing the total entry fund
close to $45,000. Two-thirds of this will
be returned to the contestants in
prizes, which will approximate $4,000.
The plans call for the installation of
sixteen new bowling alleys and cons
tracts have been signed for six hum
dred sets of hard maple pins. All are
to be delivered four weeks prior to the
opening date of the tournament, in
order that they may become thor
oughly acclinated.

Derrill Pratt, second baseman OF
the st. Louis Browns, is a pretty fair
hitter. In fact, he swats the ball
about as hard as any of them, though
he is not noted for his luck in get
ting them past the outfielders. There
fore his opinion as to the hardest
pitchers to hit is interesting.
Tell u.s. asked a baseball scribe,
addressing Pratt, who are the six
pitchers most difficult to hit in the
American I4eague?"
Mr.. Pratt's brow corrugated after
the accepted manner of a gentleman
questioned for publication.
"Ill tell you," said he, the six
pitchers who l think generally are
reckoned the hardest to hit They
are Ayers and Johnson, of Washing
ton: Shore and sFoster, of Boston;
Scott, of Chicago, and Mitchell, Of
Cleveland.
"of these FIVE OF them are hard for
me to hits With Johnson never have
had much trouble"
1t may be parenthetically said that
Pratt busted Johnson's scoreless In
ming record two seasons ago when he
bounced a double against the right
field fence following a single by
GLOOMY Gus" Williams. Nor since
has he had any trouble with the fire.
ball king.
"A goot pitcher, think" continued
Pratt, SIS the one who has something
more than q curve or speed. They
have to have more. These isn't any
pitcher in the business who is fast
enough to throw them by you. John
son comes nearest that.
Ayers and Foster have that Inn
portant ability to mix 'en1. Ayers in.
cludes in his repertory a swell under
hand delivery. and in a pinch I'd al
most rather bat against any pitcher
than him.

ST. LOUIS PLAYER TALKS ON
BATTING AGAINST TWIRLERS

"There is something on every ball
George Foster pitches. He has a
splendid curve and his fast ball breaks
either in or out. Then he has the
knuckle ball. I believe that Foster
possibly has more stuff than any of
them. Cicotte used to be such a
pitcher, but he didn't show so well
this year.
Shore has long stride and a long
reach. Consequently <the ball is upon
you almost as soon as it leaves his
hand. His curve ball is q corker. He
always has been hard for me to hit.
Jim Scott deserves the title of the
curve ball king of America. He al
most doubles his effectiveness by his
uncommon ability to hold men on
first base. In this way he prevents
steals and thereby keeps out of the
hole 1 like Scott's pitching i'm
mensely.
Usually right-handed batter has
little trouble with left-handed pitch
, ers, but / certainly have had mine
this season with Willie Mitchell. He
is, think, the most versatile south
paw in the league, with. due respect
to Carl Wellman, who is as effective.
Mitchell uses an elusive cross-fire
ana the ball has an odd quirk to it.
Those right-handed hitters of us, who
have been used to taking toe-hold
and slugging away at left-handed de-
Iiveries, found it plenty hard enough
to hit the ball at all without setting
ourselves for it.
"The question of the hardest pitcher
to hit is q matter of opinion. Some
batters can hit and hit hard some
pitchers that other just as good bat
ters cannot touch. Neither Jack Four
nier nor myself has led the American
League in hitting. but / do not be-
lieve any batter in the league has hit
Walter johnson harder than we have.
But Johnson is great pitcher. the
fastest Of all Of them"
