CRAvATH NOT HIS REAL NAME
"Gayvy's" Friends Didn't Like Ora

Base ball men at Louisville who made
the trip to Camp Taylor ran into a
husky-looking sergeant who was busy
directing affairs around the big bake
shop. where they turn out 10000
pounds of bread a day. He introduced
himself and. saying his name was
Gravatt. remarked that some of the
base ball visitors might know his
brother

the sergeant.
What's the name you said" inquired
some one.
The name is Gravatt-Gavvy CRAY
ath is my brother"
u thought you said your name is
Gravatt."
1T is. The correct name is Gravat.
Gavvy was labeled Cravath when he
started playing professional ball The
rams dldh't seem to like Gravatt changed
II TO CraVath and it finally got to be
since"
Old Gavvy's brother is Sergt. A. A.
Gravatt and he has been in the Army
on ana on for ten years. He just got
oack from Europe, where he spent

Frequent Threats to Drop

The psychology of professional Ameri-
can base ball is one of the most re-
markabIe things in the entire world of
sport 1t differs radically from the
psychology of any other sport. The
psychology of the foot ball fan or the
golf follower is much more easy to un-
derstand The foot ball spirit is inter-
woven with the college spirit. ana FOOT
ball is a natural outlet for the exuber-
ance OF the young American collegian.
Without the college spirit foot ball is
nothing but mass Of men meeting "a
mass OF men. This has been proved time
after time when games between crack
elevens from smaller colleges have
drawn meaEer gates in New York. The
games lacked the college spirit to make
them a success.
The psychology OF golf is just as
easily explained. The natural impulse

Stanley Coveleskie Leads.

Stanley Coveleskie of Cleveland led the
pitchers OF both leagues last season with
nine shutouts. He was closely followed
by his teammate. Jim Bagby; Eddie CT
cote OF the White Sox and Grover Alex
ander OF the Phiilles, each of whom pitch
ed eight. Alexander again led the Ma
tional League in shutouts but only had
half as many as in 1916, when he created
4 new major league shutout record with
sixteen whitewashings to his credit
Johnson of Washington and Toney of
the Reds each pitched seven shutouts.
Ihough the Cleveland pitching staff
was not considered one of the strongest
in the game. the Indian pitchers twiried
more shutouts than any other fIingine
corps in the big leagues. The India n
twlrlers pitched twenty-three shutouts

Dodgers Often Banked.

The shutout figures of 1916 tell the
narrowing story of how the Brooklyn
National League champions of 1916 fell
to seventh place last season better than
mere words. Suffice it to say that the
Dodgers pitchers scored less shutouts
last season than the pitchers of any
other major league team, while the
Dodgers were blanked oftener than any
other team in the National League
Only the st. Louis Browns were shut
out oftener than Brooklyn. and they
were blanked only one more time than
the hapless Robins.
The veteran Brooklyn pitchers scored
only seven shutouts among them last
season: Marquard had three, Prefer
two and Galore and Cheney each one
Jack Coombs, who pitched thirteen
shutouts for the Athletics in 1910,
failed to get in one in 1917. Connie
Mack's forlorn rookie pitching STAFF in
Philadelphia Just beat out the Dodgers
In number OF shutouts with eight.
The Dodgers were blanked twenty-one
times in 1917. They surely fattened the
shutout records of several pitchers. Three
OF Jim Vaughn's four shutouts were
earned over Brooklyn. as were three OF
the five pitched by Ferdie Schupp. The
Dodgers also contributed three Of Alex
anders eight shutouts. Dick Rudolph and
Lefty Tyler OF the Braves each BANKED
the Dodgers twice.

Takes Severe Punishment.

Base ball gets one black eye after an
other. Its Fogels. Murphys. Fedora
Leagues. strikes, squabbles. trials. ac-
cusations and counter accusations are
all said to give II blow from which
1t will be hard for it to recover. but il
always seems ready to take more pun
ishment.
During the two years of the Federal
League war. 1914 and 1915. professional
base ball was hit pretty hard. Never
was the commercialism of the sport
thrust more strongly at the public. Ii
was shown that the only loyalty q
player knew was loyalty to the al
mighty dollar. Regulations were torn
take years for base ball to get back on
its feet.
Yet 1916. a year containing one war
crisis after another. was the banner
year for both major leagues. the Amer
lean League beating all previous at
tendance records in 1916 by nearly a
million.
Ban Johnson's remarks on obtaining
exemptions for eighteen players on
each major league team unouestion-
ably gave base ball another hard win
ter knock. But by the time the ball
crashes with the bat next spring this
and other things will be forgotten.
Interest in Game Always High.
Nothing better illustrates the psy-
chology of base ball than a converse
ton the writer had with an angry fan.
who had few unkind remarks to make
about Ban johnson. But after his Gu
logy on Ban expended it's force he ask
ed. What do you think Higgins will
do with the Yankees next season? Will
he get Derrell Pratt for second base
That conversation really furnishes a
key to the entire premise. The fan is
willing to recommend anything up to
tar and feathers for the promoters, but
his interest in the game itself remains
calm and undisturbed. What do yo,,
think Higgins will do with the Yam
KEGS next season? Will he get Derrell
Pratt for second base?" is ali that real
ly counts.
The winds of wrath at the promoters
howl over such a question but never
really touch it. What will Higgins do
with the Yankees?' symbolfzes what Il,
vital to base ball. The promoters are
only so many accessories, who are in
teresting, amusing. even abhorrent. for
the moment, but their savings or do
ings are of relatively no Importance.
Panning the magnate is as much a
part OF the game as panning the player.

Giants Shut Out Ten Times.

Strangely enough four of the ten
shutouts were plastered on the Giants
by pitchers of the tail-end Pittsburgh
club. Claude Cooper. the bony Pirate
left-hander. twice defeated the Giants
by scores of l to 0. Ponder, a Pitts
burgh rookie, defeated New York by the
same score in the fall while Frank Mil
Ter won 2 to 0 game from the Giants
in the spring.
With the exception of Cooper, Dick
was the only pitcher to blank the
Giants twice last season. However,
whereas Cooper was handed only two
runs with which to win his two games,
Rudolph was presented with twenty
runs by the Boston players in his two
shutouts He won by scores of 1S to
0 and to 0.
The other pitchers who shut out the
Giants were Fred Toney of the Reds
and Eppa Rixey of the Phillies.

DETROIT SHUT OUT
BUT EIGHT TIMES
Few WhiteWashes Given Ii
gers in 1917-Giants a.

There is no higher tribute to the
offensive strength of the Detroit Tigers
than the fact that they were white
washed less last season than any team
in the two major leagues. Tyrus COBB,
Bobbie Veach. Harry Heilman and the
other hitters of the Detroit cast were
dipped in whitewash only eight times
The kid brother of Harry Coveleskie.
the Detroit left-hander and erstwhile
giant killer. caused the Tigers the most
trouble. Young Stanley Coveleskie of
Cleveland. who led the big league
pitchers in shutouts last season. won
three / to 0 decisions over Jennings
team. The other pitchers who were
able to shut out Detroit were Ruth.
Red Sox: Mays. Red sox; Johnson.
Washington: Shaw. Washington. and
Faber. White SoN.
Next to the Tigers the Giants were
the least shut out of big league teams,
suffering only ten shutouts during the
past season. One of these was a pint
sized shutout received during a five in
ming game between Schupp and Jim
Vaughn. while Reuther the young Gin
cinnati pitcher, shut out the Giant colts
after the New York regulars were
given a rest prior to the world series.
New York. therefore. practically tied
Detroit's feat OF going through the
season with only eight bonafide shut
outs.
