According to a st. Louis writer Ed
die Plank has tipped off Fielder Jones
to the signal-tippine system which was
employed by the Mackmen in Plank :
day with that team. and the Browns
are to be cunning detectors of the sys-
tenn used by their opponents.
There is whole lot of bunk about
the stories which have been written OF
how Connie Mack wins pennantS by the
use of such methods. 1t was custom
AIRY. perhaps. on that team. as Oh a lot
of others for the runner on second base
TO make an effort to get the opposing
catcher'S signals to the pitcher and tin

one of the most absurd sugge stions
ever made in regard to a pitcher comes
from Jimmy Burke, who says that if

curve-hall pitching he will be an abso-
lutte success. Curve-b ball pitching is
easier to hit than good. fast pitching

must mix up his various deliveries in
order to be successful, and if Lowder-
milk would pitch nothing but curves
he would have q fine time getting the

marks.
one OF the faults of Frank Giihooiey
which was pointed out when he was
returned to tn" Yankees by Buffalo
was that he had n weak throwin. arm
and that il would stand betwee uiri
and major league job. Giihooley
was u weak throWer while lie was fill

Tanks. but he is showing great throw
ing ability at Macon this spring. and
the prediction is made that he will dis
play some wonderful pegs when the
season opens.
That National League rule which
places the twentN-one player limit on
all clubs Of that organization is yoing.

rivals in New York can carry as MANY
players as they choose. there being no

cut down. and he needs Il lot of new
