CAMEL PULLS A NEW STUNT
Manager Of Kansas City Blues Used
Two Pitchers INTERCHANGEABLE and
Won Contest.

John CAMEL, manager of the Kansas
City Blues, recently pulled new
stunt in the art Of handling pitchers
that knocked a rival American asso-
citation club off it's feet. CAMEL used
two pitchers, Interchangeable, be-
tween right field and the hurting hill.
With two out and none on base Pierce,
a southpaw, replaced Sanders against
Indianapolis. He retired Wickland, a
left-handed batter, and then went to
right field to permit McQuillan, a
right handler who had been playing
the old soldiers garden, to pitch to
Bronkie, who hits right-handed. BrOn-
kie grounded out and then Pierce came
in from the field to pitch to Zwilling,
another left-handed batsman, retiring
him for the third out and giving Kan
sas City ga victory. When it comes
to manipulating pitchers John CAMEL
takes the laurel.

KNOCKS BALL PLAYERS
Pie Way Administers Rap to
Members of Fraternity.
Former Yale Pitcher Not Very Highly
Pleased With His Experience as
Professional Ball Player
Found 1t a Loss.

Nelson M. Way, better known as Pie
Way, former Yale pitcher and later
member of the New York Giants staff
of box artists, retired from the game
for good not long ago to enter upon
business career. Pie was not very
highly pleased over his experience as
a professional player, as the following
remarks attributed to him attest:
II don't want to be in the position of
attacking baseball, th"t is, profession
al baseball. 1t is none of my business
and 1 haven't amounted to enough in
the game to stand as a critic. But [
can say that 1 found it a loss, so far
as was concerned. I say this in spite
of the fact that / could sign at least
two very satisfactory contracts with
good minor league clubs, with the pros
pect, Of course, of working my way to
the big league. But I don't want it.
"Jack Coombs put it correctly when
he said that college man goes into
the big league with an education and
comes out without one. COOmbS is
college man who has spent number
of years in organized baseball, and he
ought to know. In fact, could see 1t
for myself. You have no great incen-
tive to read or keep up with the
times; there is no bookish association.
''Few Of the big leaguers do any
worthwhile reading and association
with them does not tend to any amount
of mental development. Of course, this
does not appeal to all, but l am speak
ing of the general run. They are all
good fellows, so far as that goes, but
merely say that the life they lead does
not incline to mental cultivation. Then
you spend about all the money you
earn. 1t appears On the surface Of
course that you can save a lot of
money; l couldn't.
. "There are tips at the hotels and
money to be dropped here and there
every day until you find that you are
living pretty much up to your income.
And so playing along, you run through
the prime of your youth and slow up.
Then what have you got ahead of you?
That is the way 1 figure it out. OF
course, if fellow can jump into fast
company and get $1,000 or $4,000 a
year it will be all right, provided you
know when to quit. But you never do.
Baseball gets a hold on you.
"NOw when was with Yale did not
feel the grip of baseball. In a city
when the other fellows would go to a
big league park 1 would go to some
show; that is to say l wasn't much Of
fan. But after several months in a
regular organization l can see the diff
ference; the game gets into you and
you want to stick. So l quit before the
thing got toe firm grip on me-"

DIAMOND
NOTES

Detroit is the best offensive team in
the country.
Walter Johnson is still the strike
out king of his league.
Oscar Witt is hitting much better
this year than he did last.
In Pittsburgh the critics say that
Infielder Debus is another Arthur Dew

Wambsganss Of Cleveland is one of
the best second basemen in fast COM

The Reds had two reversals of form.
One when they went up and one when
they came down.
New Workers are petitioning for Sun
day baseball. Ought to go slowly, they
might demoralize that pious city.
Baseball is gaining in favor In
Britain, due to Uncle Sans entry into
the war. War is great educator.
Lee Fohl's accusation that the White
Sox are using unfair tactics is not
creating much Of furOre in the East.
If Pete Kilduff continues to perform
wonders around short for the CUBS,

WILL DIE A NATURAL DEATH
Dave Davenport, Who Had Narrow Es-

in His Short Ribs.

Pitcher Dave Davenport Of the
Browns seems destined to die nat
ural death. He exploded a load Of
buckshot into his anatomy last winter
and it didn't Tease him. The other
day in batting practice he was struck
in the short ribs by ball coming at
a terrific clip and crumpled up like
dead man, but soon was up and on his
feet. Examination by a physician re-
vealed that he had suffered no serious
injury, though the blow might have

ODD STEALING STUNT

Stealing third on pitcher
without the twirler delivering
the ball was the odd stunt at a
game between the Crescent Ath-
| letic club team of Brooklyn, N.
Y, and an organization of col
legians this year.
The funny part of the play
was that the baserunner prob
ably didn't intend to steal right
then at all. In the course of the
pitchers elaborate windup, the
ball slipped through his fingers
and bobbed over his shoulder,
landing about fifteen feet behind
him.
The runner was off like
shot. The second baseman and
the pitcher both went after the
ball, the latter getting there
first. The runner reached third
long before the ball did.
The pitchers teammates
were slightly incensed over the
incident.

was considerable hysteria- Happily,
however, we are now getting around
to normal conditions-we are begin
ming to find ourselves.
Secretary McAdoo recently stated
to the bankers of Chicago that the
United States and her allies will spend
$4,000, 100000 for supplies in America
in the next year, if the war continues
that long. At the same time he offered
this excellent advice: Have you
ever reflected what it would mean if
every man and woman in the country
should save dnring the next year what
is ordinarily wasted by. each in the
way of food and general suppliesP
If 100000 people reduce their de-
mand upon the general supply of food
and materials through the stoppage
of waste and extravaganza, it would
release an enormous amount which in
turn could be used for the purpose
of supporting and maintaining the
/ ], 900, 900 soldiers in the field.
Moreover, it will have a helpful
influence in keeping down the prices
of food and preventing the hardships
which are imposed upon all the peo-
pie whenever the general price level
of the necessafies of life are raised
Let each citizen study his individual
case. Let him eliminate waste, do his
bit toward the production and pres
eryation of the nations food sup
ply and exercise care lest he indulge
in the bznefni practices of misguided
thrift and thus keep from circulatioa

mind that there are two kinds of
thrift: destructive and constructive.
Neither indiscrirninate tight6stedness
nor wanton waste Is constructive
thrift. Constructive thrift Is sane

If every citizen of America quit

before We found ourselves in the
midst of industrial chaos. Whether
m times of peace or war, waste is
reprehensible, and at the present
