The tamale diet also went to the
head of Artie White, the boy who looks
like Joe Tinker used to look when he
shaved, shined, shampooed and other
wise dollcd up. Artie got himself
home run during the swatting. The
thing went six innings to to score.
Arthur Irwin, of the Rochester club,
who is going to get the rockies that
McGraw will not use, is casting eager
eyes on Lee King, and will give him
good home at Rochester if he happens
to leave the Giants. "I'm going to
take some Of those tamales to
Rochester" announced Arthur.
Irwin Strong for Tamales
"If they will make batters slug
them like that Pm going to carry my
own tamale maker with me all season.
This food may revolutionize hitting in
all leagues"
Shutting Phil Douglas is bowed
down by weight of woe this year. Phil
is splitter and after this season the
law horrible says that the spitters
must go, and poor old Phil may be
tossed dnt into an unsympathetic
world to work for living. And that
is tough and cruel fate for sterling
young athlete who has yielded so much
saliva in order that the great national
pastime might thrive and prosper.
Splitting ceases automatically at the
end of the current season and so does
many a pitcher. Matty was discussing
the passing of the spitters to-day.
"Of course, the spitball should have
been stopped at the start" said Matty,
"but they let it go on and many
pitcher who took it up while it was
legal has no other form of delivery.
When the splitter is abolished they will
be out of the game.
"That hardly seems fair. 1t would
seem that the magnates should let the
spitters now in the game go their
taking it up. 1t is the fault of baseball
that the delivery was tolerated. 1t
was made legal, but now they are
practically throwing out the men who
took it up"
This rude may result in law suit
in the end. l have heard that couple
of spitters have been asking attorneys
if they could be passed out of the
leagues that way. They will hold that
old organized baseball is deprvifg
them of the means of earning a live1i-
hood.
McGraw Starts School
McGraw already has started school
on the changes in the rules. The
pitchers have their little books and
peruse them nightly now instead of
watching the flying dominoes. The
consensus of opinion seems to be that
the intentional pass rule will make
no particular difference. A player can
be passed without the catcher being
forced to step out of his place. In
fact battery endowed with brains
will not make this maneuver for an
Intentional pass 1t always was poor
baseball and it always made the null
titudes sore.
down here excepting the CLAUSE
which makes the pitcher solely respon
sible Tor the discoloration Of the'-base
ball. The penalty, ten-day suspen-
sion is looked upon as being severe.
OF course, everything will depend upon
the manner in which this rule is en-
forced.
Bill KLEIN is due here Thursday to
expound the new baseball laws.
