coach aud trainer Of the West vir-
sinia University football team en-
route 10 san Diego. are much con.
cerned over the proposition OF
keeping the men in shape to play
IN Christmas Day. The train has
bean running considerably late
since leaving Kansas City, and the
scheduled workouts at junction
points have been interrupted. At
Newton and Dodge City yesterday
afternoon ten minutes Of grass
driiir was put on at the station,
while d curious crowd looked on.
This has been the extent of the
actual exercise since leaving Nor
gantown on Tuesday evening. At
Alberuuerque, which should be
reached at noon today, a half hour
rs supposed to be available, but this
may be limited due to the lateness
OF the train The most difficult
part Of the mountains were crossed
last night and mo more delays are
expected.
Arrangements have been practt-
ca1iy completed for a workout at
the field Of the University Of
Southern California at Los Angeles
Saturday afternoon. Some uncer.
tainty attaches to this, however,
on account Of the limited time.
Only four hours IN Los Angeles win
be available even IL the train is
exactly on time, which does not
seem likely.

fault Of NOSE OF the recruits that
came to the. majors each year.
Failure to, pitch intelligently,'
was his immediate reply.
Most Of the rookie pitchers
that come to the major leagues
nowadays are merely throwers, no:
pitchers.
THE great pitchers give though:
to every ball they pitch. or cours .
they make many mistakes, are Of
ten hit hard, yet there is a reason
for everything they do.
1.-THE other great fault Of most o,
the recruit pitchers Is their abso
lute,lack Of knowledge a 8 to how
to pitch with men on the bases.
Pitching a ball game IS an en-
ttrely different proposition witt;
the bases empty or filled. with
runners on, every situation must b
carefully studied, a close tab ken,
on the runners.
"This has been prevailing fau;,
for years. The baserlnners were
piling up a big edge when the live

bad thing for a lot OF pitchers,

ielligences ),
Such q remark would cause the
average layman to make up his
mind that the player under consid.
GRAFTON was an athlete Of much
learning, high intelligence.
IN 9 great many cases that. is far
rom being the truth. Some OF the
btainiest bah players I have ever
known have been players who
knew little other than baseball.
Their education had been much
uegieeted. Early In life they had
kissed school igoodby for hard work,
Het rom d baseball standpoint
they possessed master minds.
On the other. hand l have IN mind
two collegians, one who graduated
With high donors, who during their
entire big league career were re.
garded as dumb ball players.
One Of the college chaps could
DISCUSS any subject intelllgently,
IN additinnt n|a thorough education
he had travelled widely, and was
one OF the most interesting persons
ever talked to-: Yet on the ball

sultot Victory Of Players
Over Veterans

PENNINGTON, Dec. 22.-In a
game featured by loose playing and
Lerratic passing. the Pennington
High School team defeated the fac.
ulty Of that school Tuesday night
to the decisive tune OF 1918. Durins
the first half the superior weight
Of the faculty enabled them to
hold the score close, but with the
beginning OF the second half, team
work began to manifest itself on
the high school team and It was
not long afte rthe second period
began that 1t was only a question
Of what the score would be. The
faculty team, composed OF poten.
tally better and more experienced
players than the high school, fail.
ed to show anything In the way o:
good team work. The high school
team, even though their work was
erratic most of the time, showed
promise Of better things in the n
ture. In fact, the showing OF the
team against the faculty has done
much to dispel the feeling Of pess
imism. about It.
As the game wa sdevoid OF any
exceptional team play, It was also
devoid Of any exceptional star. The
principal point.getter was Kerns o!
the high school team. whose foul
shooting might be called the feat
ure Of the game, since he was sue
cessful in twelve out OF seventeen
attempts. For the faculty, the prin-
cipal point-getter was Coach stro-
Ihefker, who scored two field goals
and two fouls.
The summary OF the game Tues.
day night is as follows:
