ELIMINATE CHEATING
PITCHERS FROM GAME
Brainy Moundsman With Good
Arm Can Get By.
Jesse TannehilI, Former Red Sox
Southpaw Hurler, Says Freak
Pitching Should Be Barred
Forever From Baseball.

eliminate cheating pitchers from
baseball and the game will not be any
different than when I was with the
Red Sox," declared Jess Tannehill,
who was here with the Phillies as
COACH
Ten pounds lighter than when he
was with the Red Sox back in 1908
and 1904 Tannehill was in Boston for
the first time in IL years. He is now
forty-five years old, feels as good as
when he helped Jimmy Collins win
the pennant in 1904.
Although now but a coach, this for
mer star southpaw who also could
hit the ball some in the old days, has
many views about the game of today
which are interesting. Having been
great pitcher, he knows many angles,
and there is no doubt but that he is
going to help Gavvy Cravath's pitch
ing department.
81 think freak deliveries should
have been barred from baseball be-
fore this season. They have handi-
capped the game considerable be-
cause pitchers who go into the box
with resin in one pocket and talcum
powder in the other, along with vas
cline or paraffin on their pants are try
ing to get by with such methods.
without such methods to help them,
the pitchers in the future will have
to be there, as we were in the old
days. Ability to pitch will have to
be shown all the time and / am con-
f1dent the game will be better.
'There is no doubt in my mind but
that the freak pitchers of today can
get along without their fixings.
eff they have a good arm and are
smart they can get by. So far /
have not been able to work with a
freak delivery pitcher, because the
Phillies do not boast of one. If there
was one on the staff I would help him
to develop into a real pitcher without
the tricky stuff"

NATIONAL LEAGUE HAS
MOST STAR TWlRLERS

Whatever may be the merit of
the argument for or against the
National league, 1t is reasonably
apparent it has five or six clubs
with four or more first-class
proven pitchers, and that the
American clubs are not so fOrtu-
nately equipped.
In the National league, New
York, Chicago, Brooklyn, Gin
cinnati, and possibly Pittsburgh,
have each four or five hurlers
able to pitch any club not too.
deficient in other respects, into
a prominent position.
The American league can only
show one or two teams whose
pitching STATS are unimpeach-
able. While several clubs have
two or three stars only one or
two have four men of proven re-
liability to use in rotation.
