to direct the development of athletics.

1 used to love to pitch when 1 was in
my heyday as pitcher. He Is one of
the greatest hurlers in the business and
he Is the sort that the scouts overlook
in the bushes because he isn't burning
them across every time he lifts his
arm"
Bagby is perhaps as much wrapped
up in base ball as any player who ever
donned a uniform. After any game he
pitches he can go over the entire nine
innings and tell just how each and
every play was made. how many balls
he threw to each batter and what he
served up to a player the first. second
and third time he came up 1t Is, said
Of Bagby that he never twice gives a
batter the same kind of ball that he
made a hit on. II batsman connects
careful mental notes of just what kind
OF ball 1t was he hit and Is careful to
see that he gets anything but that kind
on his next appearance at the plate.
There are few II any pitchers In the
game who have the mental capacity to
work by the system that BagbY uses.
AS the season wakes older 1t begins
to appear more and more as II the fears
widely entertained last spring that the
races in the two major leagues would
be too one-sided for interest were un-
warranted. The Giants still have a COM
but are long way from having the
race sewed up. Cincinnati has been
coming with a rush. and Philadelphia
cannot be counted out of 1t, especially
since the Quakers have acquired the
services Of Johnny Evers. the high
priced second baseman of the Braves.
1t is said Of Evers that his playing days
are numbered. but even SO the effect the
scrappy Trojan's pepper and fight will
have on the rather easy-going and
methodical Phi1iies cannot be over

as much ground as he used to. and per-

tie games staged in Washington last
