LIBERTY

Representative Mudd of Maryland
said in the course Of heated argu-
ment about the Liberty motor:
I'VE don't know the whole truth
yet, and from half truths optimistic
and pessimistic conclusions can with
equal JUSTICE be drawn. This brings
you nowhere. It's like the two club
men.
Marriage said the fat, opt 1istic
clubman, is a preventive Of su,d le.'
"'And suicide, said the lead pes
simistic clubman. Is a prevent re Of

Four Famous Pitchers


 Learn control of the ball'' was the
 slogan to which Young clung, and upon 1t
 he founded his success. Speed" he
 would say, lis a decidedly bad asset for
 a pitcher unless it is accompanied by
 accuracy That is the reason so many slow
 pitchers make good in the baseball pro-
 fession Speed which is wasted and sends
 the ball wild, thereby giving the bats
 men their bases, is equivalent to base
 hits. And control can be obtained only
 by practice." Young also insisted that
 the belief that it was essential to be able
 to curve the ball before anything else
 was incorrect, and that only after a
 twirler had learned accuracy should he
 attempt to master curve pitching.
 Christy Mathewson was not only one of the most successful, but also one of the hardest working pitchers of his time. He and Alexander hold the three years consecutive pitching record for 30 games or over Matty pitched 30 games in 1908. 8 in 1904, and 31 in 1905. Alexander pitched 31 in 1915, 8 in 1916, and 30 in 1917. Mathewson was insistent that one of the most important things in pitch- ing was control of the body swing. He figured that no matter what kind of a ball was pitched, the body was compelled to do a large part of the work, and that the most successful pitchers were those who realized this fact early, and per- formed accordingly. Tt is seldom now adays," he asserted, that you will find pitcher standing with both feet flat upon the ground. simply drawing the arm back and throwing with all the force of his biceps, without calling upon the back and shoulder muscles to do their share of the work
 when Matty was ready to deliver the ball to the batter, he bent his body in unison with the movement of his army, and the whole effect was that of a splen- did human machine working with perfect ea SC and accuracy. He knew how to save himself when on tha field and did not dissipate when away from 1t. and that is why he remained king of all boxmen for so many years.
