TEN PITCHERS
IS LIMIT FOR
SINGLE GAME
Oldtimers Can't Recall When
Twirling Was More
Shot-to-Pieces.

oIdtimers cannot remember a
time when major league pitching
was shot to pieces as 1t Is at the
present stage of the pennant races.
Most OF the clubs are using two or
three pitchers a game, and the eli.
max was reached the other day in
the Cubs -Cardipal battle, when ten
pitchers went to the mound, five
for each club.
The collapse of pitching is a
subject which has baseball fans
puzzled. Joe McGinnity, the old
iron man of the Giants. says that
the cause is the scarcity of curve
ball pitchers. He says that the
present generation Of deceivers do
no possess the curves and cunning
Of the oldtimers.
McGinnity maintains that It lie
the low standard of curve pitching
rather than the lively ball that
has caused the batting epidemic OF
the present season.

Of 1912 It was thought that baseball
prosperity was at high tide.

both New York clubs have led
In popularizing the sport.
When the Polo Grounds were re-
built after the fire of 1910 and the
seating capacity increased TO nearly
10000, II was thought that ample
provision had been made for many
years to come.
Yet in less than a decade the
crowds that stormed the Polo
Grounds on big days could not be
accommodated.
Between those turned away and
those who assumed that seats would
not be available, many thousands
were disappointed In 1921 and this
year.
The time is coming soon when
the Polo Grounds will be too small

plans have been drawn to rebuild
the bleachers and to increase the
seating capacity by 10000 or $4,000.

great Importance Of these close-to-

instance, always goes right after the
hole from off the edge Of the green.

sand trap some thirty yards from
the pin. That is the way to play
such shots.
Any time you are in reach OF the

to drive. The brassie calls for the
