FIGHTING SHINE BALL,
CAUSES ITS DOWNFALL

Just about a year ago some of
the more watchful batters of the
American league decided that Ed
die Cicotte's remarkable pitching
was due to something more than
just natural ability.
Time after time the ball Eddie
used was protested and some of
the balls we're sent to Ban John
son with the request that he de-
termine what Eddie was putting
on the sphere.
1t was the birth of the shine
ball. Altho Cicotte repeatedly
denied that he was doctoring the
ball with paraffine or any other
substance, and altho johnson re-
fused to take any action there was
little doubt among American
league players and managers that
Eddie was getting away with
something.
Rule Against It.
This year the shine ball situa-
ton grew so rapidly that finally
Johnson was forced to rule that
umpires must not permit the use
of a discolored ball In the game
This situation was brought
about by Clark Griffith, an old
time pitcher who has protested
for months against the use of the
shiny delivery.
Griff announced publicly that
he had instructed every pitcher
on his staff to use the shine ball

Cardinal
Catcher

Tony Brottem, one of the
most popular athletes the city
has ever produced, is again in the
limelight. Manager Jack Hen
bricks of the st. Louis Cardinals
has recalled Brottem, asking
him to catch for the Cardinals in
place of Frank Snyder, who has
answered the call of his country.
Brottem played for Tacoma,
Victoria and Vancouver and got
his professional start at that
time. He did such fine work
that he was sold to st. Louis at
the close of the 1915 Northwest
ern season, remaining with the
Cardinals turnout the 1916 sea-
son.
Later he starred for the Omaha
club for the Western league, play
ing first string. Last winter the
Cardinals sent him to Little
Rock in the Southern league. 1t
was from this place that Mana
ger Hendricks recalled him.
While there the Falkland man
played fast ball all season.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1918-06-26

and all of them with the exception
Of Johnson were getting away
with it. johnson refused to use
the ball because he was afraid he
could not control it and to use
his own words, II don't want to
kill anyone in this league"
The effect of Griff's ruse was
first shown when Nick Altrock, a
pitcher who had not been on the
mound for seven years beat De-
troit with 1t. A few days later
johnson acted.
In Self Defense.
From the limited use by Cicotte
and Danforth of the Chicago club
the shine ball spread to practically
every club in the league. The
pitchers who have been using it
this year include Finneran and
Mogridge of the Yankees, Myers
Of Philadelphia, Erickson and
James of Detroit, Ayers, Harper
and Shaw of Washington, Groom
and Morton of Cleveland and
Davenport of st. Louis. The Bos-
ton club is the only one not using
1t.
Most of these pitchers, however
we're using the ball in self-defense
against the Chicago attack.
Johnson was right in ruling out
the ball. He should have made
his ruling last year.

"Wild Bill" Hurley, former
manager of the Great Falls Elec-
tries, is still in the ring when it
comes to collecting money that he
asserts is long past due. He wants
his salary from the Great Falls,
Mont, Baseball association.
Attorney LaRue Smith for the
organization says Hurley lost the
first round of the legal fight.
However, that doesn't deter
Hurley. He says he will take the
case to the supreme court.
Hurley was fired two months
after the opening of the 1916 sea-
son at which time he was hired.
He wants payment for the entire
season, backing his demand by the
terms of his contract. The amount
sued for is 100.

tional woman champion, In the
fourth round.
Miss Hooker was unable to
make much Roadway against the
Norwegian girl, losing in straight
sets, 60, 6-1, but the fact that
she was able to win one game
from the Morse flash gives an idea
of the high class Of her game.
In the earlier rounds Miss
Hooker had defeated Mrs. Lyle
e. Mahan and Miss Colt and had
taken game by default from
Mrs. Spencer Weaver.
Friends of the girl are already
predicting a wonderful tennis fu-
ture for her. Her game is equally
good at the lines or the net. She
combines speed and accuracy in
her returns, and her volleying is
excellent.
