PITCHERS USE MORE
BRAIN THAN Drawn
Some Twenty Years Ago There
Were SO Players Batting
800 or Over

George Stalllngs was recently shown a
book containing the batting averages OF
the National League In 1896 The
records showed s. who hatted 300
And how many hit 300 or better in
1917 he was asked
In 1896, S. men out OF 256 who wore
National League uniforms batted 800
or over Twcnty-onc wears later IN
1917 Just six men out Of nearly 400 who
cavortcd on National League lots broke
into the 800 list What the answer
was the next question put 10 him
There are a number OF reasons, he
replied "Onc OF the most important Is
the foul strike rule which wasn't in cx-
the battling spitbal Furthermore. the
horschlde p years ago carried a very high
polish That made II difficult for a
pitcher to handle new hall The shine
was abolished some years ago, and II IS
much easier for a pitcher to control the
ball now than 1t was in the gloss-c0vered
DAYS
But the most important reason Of all,
in my opinion, Is that pitchers of today
are smarter than those of y wears ago
They use their heads as we'll as their arms
In 1896. most twirlers used only their
arms Their sole aim was to try 10
throw the ball past the batter. II failed
as the batting averages OF 1896 Will show
In those DAYS only few pitchers made
study of the strength and weaknesses Of
the various batters Change Of pace
was practically unknown Pitchers did
nj try to work on the weakness of the
hitters They just put all the speed they
had into the heave and took a chance
PITCHERS NOW USE THEIR BRAINS.
But in the present era a pitcher 5
arm i not his whole asset Christ"
Matthawson was q star long after his
arm went back because he used his brain
Eddie Cic0tte hasn't 4 wonderfully power

them The muundsman who reaches the
crest Of the pitching wave and stays there
longest is the one who hiss brains who
studies each and every batter, uses STRAIT
cgy and PLAYS on the weakness Of the
batter
"Onlv once since 1906 has a National
League batsman reached the $50 mark
That was in 1913 when Jake Daubert,
Of the Dodgers, just reached that figure,
and Of course. was the leader OF the older
circuit but in 1896 two National Leaguers
went beyond 400 while thirteen hit
better than $50
What a form reversal 1t was IN
that year that Willie Keller Of hit
EN- where they amt fame, amassed the
mighticst swatting record Of his career
He figured in l28 games that year, went
to bat 562 times, scored AT runs and
cracked out 243 hits for an average Of
432 "
This question then was put to Stall
lings
'If keelrr. Clark and the other stars

how many Of them do you think would
have hit better than 300
That's a rather hard question TO an

To divert much of the congcstcd traffic

is pointed out that many big trucks pass

stationed at Ninth street and Morton
avenue to hand them to the truck drivers
coming in from Philadelphia zone and
another at Third street and Highland
avenue to aoquaint the drivers with the
