II must have been a decidedly
peculiar situation for veach, a player
always noted for his remarkable hit

The strange thing about II. is that
his successor almost lost the game
by misjudging a ny ball with two on,
turning what should have been an

three runs, as two were on at the
time.
But in this same game Beach, as

No doubt veach's removal from

All last year Pep" Young of De-

arm. The arm seemed strong enough

the old fault was still with him.
Manager Cobb OF the Detroit club

Mack believed that Younr.s

HOW TO PLAY BASEBALL
Pitching, and Outguessng the Batter, by Billy Evans

! II you are easily discouraged. there
Is no hope for you. The tougher
they break, the harder you must
pitch.
No matter how much speed or
ing to be OF any assistance to a
pitcher who lacks nerve.
A good motto is TO pitch in a game
Just as you do in practice. Try not
to allow tough situations TO make
any more impression on you than If
you were merely warming up with
the catcher.
The demands on a pitcher are try
ing. He must be strong physically
to go in day after day and stand the
grind. Clean living. good food.
plenty OF sleep and no Intoxicating
liquors make for strength.
II is always we'll for pitcher TO
try to vary his style. A change OF
pace is most essential.
The fast ball pitcher. who can
slow up when the opposition starts
to hit his speed, has an ace in the
hole. II a fast ball is his stock IN
ne mas nOlnAAib NAoC ~ OAApAs
Watch Base Runners.
Pay attentiaon to the base run
ners. Try 10 worry them so they
never get away to flying start.
Pitching with runners on the bases
Is an entirely different proposition
than with the sacks empty.
Study your batters. Learn their
weakness and then take advantage
of that knowledge,
These are just a few OF the many
difficulties that confront pitcher.
They must be overcome to be sue
cessful.
Tomorrow, Waite Hoyt.. hero OF
the 1921 world series, a pitcher who
uses his head as we'll as his arm. will

zat1Sh
z The Athletics can hit. A club
that can hit is always dangerous.
Most of the Athletics are natural
hitters This ability TO hit. plus the
uncanny ability of Danny Murphy in
calling the pitches. is big obstacle
for any team.
Danny Murphy. from his posi-
ton IN the coacher's box at third
base, calls practically every ball
pitched. BY some word signal he
lets the batters know whether to
expect a curve. fast ball or splitter.
His judgment is uncanny.

Br0lUn, DeIalUare Driuer,
Wins State Auto Classics

Some 1000 holiday sport enthusi-
asts were treated to a full afternoon
OF thrills with the annual Memorial
Day bill of motor races at the Els
mere track of the Delaware State
Fair Association yesterday. The
spectators we're kept tense with ex-
element in the presentation OF five
speedy events by the daring and
dashing drivers who clipped off the
short turns on the half-mile dirt
speedway in the most approved
daredevil fashion, tearing up clouds
of clay dust with the churn of their
high-powered cars.
To a Delawarean went the premier
honors of the day. Charlie Brown,
of Bridgeville. holder of the track
record for five miles, opened the
day by capturing the ive-mile
event for Delaware drivers and
brought down the curtain by win
ping the ten-mile open handicap.
Brown not only displayed his handi-
ness at the wheel and the speed OF
his Dusenburg special, but showed
that he and his speed wagon could
hold up in a grind. In the ten-mile
handicap he forced them all into
submission and was the only one to
finish the required 90 laps.

who started from scratch in this
event in his Frontenac special,
seemed to be overhauling those who
had been given the better start when

 These observations are presented for what they may be worth. There is neither animuS nor spleen behind them; merely the setting down in or derly array the facts as we see them.
 Not few competent critics seem to feel that Jack Britton's downfall was the result of age. the time worn well once too often. How they recon cile this view with the fact that Brit ton was buffeted all over the ring by a fighter like Walker when he was able to make a n2ess of a clever man like Benny Leonard only few months before. is not altogether clear.
 Joy Ride for Walker.
 Judged purely on it's merits, as fought, the bout was joy ride for Walker. He started pummelling AeD man in the first round, walking right into him fearlessly as though he was stepping up to an armless paralyt1c. In the second round he caught Britton off balance with a left hook to the jaw Jack went down momentarily losing his mouthpiece during the gen. era1 excitement.
 Starting with the third Britton be gan to box like the champion he should have been and until the sixth made Walker look very silly. That was tho end, however.
 From then on to the fifteenth the youth was in front from gong to gong scoring knockdowns in the sixth, tenth and twelfth and in general having the time of his hilarious young life. At the end, the1e was not the slightest doubt to whom the verdict should go some of the customers raising a cheer before Humphreys could finish his ali- nouncement. After he proclaimed the winner the announced demanded Three cheers for the greatest cham pion that ever lost his title" That was another one of those things that was never done before. All in all it was quite a remarkable occasion.
