possible in any other form of tobacco
There's no tobacco in the world that
can give you the hearty, wholesome
flavor that you get from a delicisr,
chew OF Spear Head.
Spear Head is made exclusively q

Picking Pitchers is His Best
Performance; Knows Just
What They Can Do
BY FRANK G. MENKE.

New York. April 11.-Fielder JOnes's
success as a manager seems to have
come through his amazing skill In
handling his pitchers Through some
power that is foreign to other team
leaders, Jones knows just when 20
work a mOundsman-and when TO
leave him on the bench. Frequently
he yanks hurlers when there seems
to be no occasion for it. At other
times he permits his Fingers to re-
main in the box when it seems like
baseball suicide.
Yet. in almost every instance, the
judgment of Jones has been sustained
by later developments.
The hardest problem for a baseball
pilot to solve comes when his pitcher
is being bombarded by the enemy's
bats VIII the hurler weather the
storm-or viii he founder? Other
managers guess, but Jones knows.
often Jones has derricked hurlers
who seemed TO be pitching faultlessly,
simply because he felt slip com
ing on. Instinct told him that the
pitcher had gone as far as he could
at a perfect pace-that in the next
inning or two he was due for lam
ming
This wonderful way of handling
pitchers enabled Jones to lift the
"hitless wonders of 1906 to the crest
of the baseball world; and TO keep his
White SOX team in the fight always.
tt made IL possible for him to lead his
ST. Louis Feds to within one point of
the championship in 1915. What viii

How Fast Is Peter Mac.
The harness horse enthusiasts are
specializing as to the ultimate speed
Of Peter Mac. the six year old trotting
stallion. owned by Capt. David Shaw
of Cleveland.
The racer owns a mark Of 2:031s
now. There are many who predict that
he will sweep a mile course in two
minutes during the coming season.
It's n big jump from 2:0S1s to 900, but
the wonderful son OF Peter the Great
may accomplish it. He never has been
extended to his full power.
Peter Mac probably could have hung
up n mark of 200 or 2:O1 in that mile
where he made his record last summer
but his owner. who was driving him.
held him in check during the last
quarter.
How He Made His Race.
The record mile was run at Lexing-
ton, Ky. Shaw drove him and his aim
merely was TO have Peter Mac beat
the 2:O41a record Of his dam, Lillian
r. The flier got away from the start
ing line like a whirlwind, made the
first quarter in 80 seconds, the half in

FIELDER JONES DISPLAYS HIS SKILL

50 seconds Ga 1888 clip and the three
quarters in 1:29Z ca 1897 clip
Rounding into the stretch, Peter Mac
wanted his head--he wanted to IN
loose further bursts of speed from his
fleet, young legs. but Shaw checked
him down He knew that his horse
surely could accomplish the purpose or
its mile dash-the beating of the E-O412
MARYLAND he did little more than jog
him home, giving Peter Mac new
record of 2.03lh.
It's a question as to just what Peter
Mac could have done in that last quar-
ter. had he been permitted to run his
own race. He is a grand finisher and
has phenomenal endurance. He prob
ably would have tipped over that last
quarter in 30 secOnd-Or better-and
in that way would have hung up a
mark of 1899 or lower
What's the use Of hurrying him %
asks Shaw. He's still a yOungster
There is lots Of time left in which to
let him go to his absolute limit
Maybe III let him loose this summer"

'A important part in the Mexican
campaign and what the two-wheel
machines will do was demonstrated
on Sunday when Douglas Allen, Paul
Heating and Johnny 0eschner
mounted their Indians and made a
record run to Columbus. They were
fours going and the same time re-
turning home.
PLAY BALL They're of in the
big leagues Wednesday. By next
Sunday the fans will have their
hammers out for the managers
whose teams are not in the first
division.
SALT LAKE got away to two vic
tories in the Coast league, then
dropped four in a row to Oakland.
And manager Blankenship imme-
diately decided that his pitching
staff wouldn't do and he is looking
for two "real right hand pitchers"
X
SALE of This Speaker to Cleveland
has certainly weakened the pen
nant prospects of the Boston Red
SOx and has equally increased the
prospects of the Cleveland club
When the teams went south for
spring training, the Indians seemed
to be a joke but the way they
cleaned up in the games with the
Cubs and Reds makes it evident that
manager Lee Foil has turned out a
fast team. And now, with This
Speaker in the outfield, the team
looks even better. Cleveland's new
magnate seems to be some spender
when it comes to getting good
players but he will have the fans
there with him, as the Indians, for
the first time in years, look like can
didates for the first division.

duty to throw the ball and twist ii so
as to deceive the batter, who stands
at home plate. The batter is allowed
{ three swings at the ball In case he
fails to hit il he becomes n fan victim
and must cease his batting endeavora
until his turn comes again.
The catcher is the man who stands
behind the plate and traps all the balls
that the batters fail to hit The other
players are designated as infielder5
and Outfielders, according to their sta
lions when in the field. All the players
are assigned to their positions by a
higher power called manager, who is
the supreme power as far as his own
team is concerned

The teams alternately indulge in
"ins" and outs When a team is on
the "ins" il means that il is taking its
turns at the plate, attempting to smitc
the ball The other team-the one in

When team is having its "ins" the
batter tries to drive the ball out OF
reach of the opposing men. In case
he does he is credited with a hit As
soon as he hits the ball, ne starts to
run for first base and continues run
ming until he has completed the circuit,
or until the opposing players have re-
lrieVed the nail and thrown it to some
base ahead of him. In such case. the
batter stops at the base nearest To
him. and waits there. hopeful that the

baseba as far as the olden times are
concerned, lack courtesy They have
no aitectionate feeling for the visiting
