When Fred Mitchell, new Cub man
ager, begins building up ball team
out of Charley Weegman's disorganiz-
ed batch of players this spring, his
first efforts, he says, will be directed
to teaching pitchers to pitch intelli-
gent ball.
There are three essentials pitchers
must learn, Mitchell declares. They
are control, to hold runners on bases,
and to pitch without putting every.
thing on the ball.
Mitchell says the wise pitcher knows
when the batter is going to hit and
that Dick Rudolph can call the turn
on the hitter every time by the way
he tightens up on the bat.
Most ballplayers will be shy of this
statement. Rudolph has never been
credited with saying he could tell that
a batter was going to swing or pass

afternoon when it is scheduled to

It was not originally intended 70

Lilley being unaware Of the fact that

take made by the park management,

CUB CHAMPIONS
DID NOT SIGNAL
Joe Tinker, Chance and
Evers Did Not Have a
Code System.

Chicago, Ill, Oct. 13.-It was hard
for a good many Of the Cub rooters
to believe that their pets never used
many signals and didn't play a great
deal Of what is generally termed "in-
side ball"
Almost everybody who knows some
thing of baseball and who had seen
that old Cub steam roller in action
was quite sure Chance and his gang
had perfected a complicated system
Of signalling each other.
When Joe Tinker laughed at this
the other day and knocked the whole
thing askew by saying no such thing
as signs existed on the team II made
his listeners gasp. Joe even went
further and said that the only in
side" ball that the men knew was
what they got out Of a thorough &C
ouaintance with each other
Being keen OF mind. each member
Of the team could almost devise what
the other fellow was thinking about
and what he intended to do
The simpler You make your style
OF play the better it is for eFeryood y
on the team" Tinker said And
Frank Chance always thought so
Vow when you have a gang like
Chance had YOU don't have to bother
much with signs or Instructions
Just turn 'em loose and let EN- PLAY
their own way. Having plenty OF
baseball sense. they will get away
with it nicely and nobody viii be any
the wiser.
