EVEN BRIGHTEST
BOX STARS FAIL
Best Pitchers Seem Un-
able to Hold Fat Leads
Now With Lively Ball
By SID MERCER.

NEW YORK. July 16.--Your Tn
clio Wilhcrt Robinson hoped into
Yankee headquarters for n chat
with his old friend, Colonel Til
Huston. There he encountered n
flock Of intcrvlcwcrs, It wasn't long
until someone corncred him with the
query:
What's tho matter with base
ban?"
you can search me-" Robinson
responded. Il didn't know there
was anything wrong with baseball,
hut there's something wrong with
the baseball or else pitching has be-
come lost art.
'IIave you noticed how many
games run along 20 the fifth or
sixth inning without a score and
then suddenly the pitching goes
blOcey? | cant understand Il. If
it's the lively BAH how do pitchers
get by in the early part of the
game?
a feature Of ball games that has
impressed mo more than anything
else is tho inability of pitchers.
good pitchers too. to hold fat leads
into the late stages.
The other day Carl Mays blew
an eight-run lead over the White
Sox. or ordinarily you would bet
a million TO one that a team like the
SoN could not spot a pitcher like
Mays thar many runs. Pitchers
complain about the ball. Whatever
Is to blame, We know that when a
team starts hammering n pitcher It
is n long way to that third out.
Until this season managers sci
dom worried when a good pitcher
got into trouble as long as he held
three or four runs in the bank. Now
It is different. The minute rally
starts. out 20 the reserves to warm
up.
THE managers hate to show lack
OF confidence in a good pitcher. For
this reason many OF them are per
mitted to stay in there and take
their beatings."

Special Despatch to THE NEW York HERALD
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c., Sept. 20.
The Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany, through Fl. II. Haines of Seattle,
its vice-president and general man
ager. to-day signed two bare boat
charters with the Shipping Board. I'm
der the agreement the Pacific Steam
ship Company is to receive two $500
ton ships as soon as possible at fixed
rate. the Board to pay the insurance
on the huIls and the steamship COM
pany to pay indemnity insurance.
This is the first bare boat charter
ever accepted for a Shipping Board
, vessel and the result Of the effort Is
being awaited with interest.
Our offer was accepted to-day" Mr..
Haines told THE NEw York HERALD to-
night. land we hope to have the ves-
sells in about ten days. The charter
rate is a matter that will have to be
discussed by Shipping Board officials,
IL 1t is discussed at all, since we do
lnoI 4cci at iUSIty u IHdhS u SLateIueHI
concerning it.
"The boats are to be delivered to us
on the Pacific coast and we will use
them to transport bulk grain cargoes
to United Kingdom and continental ports
via. the Panama Canal. We will receive
the designation of the ports at which we
are to unload when our vessels reach
the canal.
"Sp far as know these are the first
bare boat charters ever entered into in
this country with the exception OF one
vessel that handled a load Of molasses
in tho coastwise trade. We feel that by
taking this step several things will be
accomplished. First, 1t is vital move
toward getting the Government out Of
ship operation and enabling it to get its
tonnage into private hands. Further
more 1t will stir individual initiative on
the part Of American ship operators in
