PITCHERS OF TODAY
ARE ONLY GAMBLERS
Simply Throw Ball to Plate and
Take a Chance.

Ideas on pitching, rather the reasons
for the lack of it, vary. Joe Tinker
was never pitcher, but played left
end of the Tinkert o-Evers-to-Chance
combination. He was the only bat
ter chat ever consistently hit Christy
Mathewson.
Tinker believes that the reason there
Is so much poor pitching is that the
pitchers of today are not students Of
pitching, but gamblers. BY gamblers
he means that pitchers just throw the
ball to the plate and take a chance
on getting it by the batsman.
The general run of pitchers today is
far removed from the average of Is
years ago, thinks Tinker He laughs
at the stories of unsuccessful pitchers
that they cannot pitch because they
cannot make the ball break, and points
to Sam Jones, Howard Ehmke, George
Dauss, George Uhle and a few others
to refute that alibi. These pitchers
surely succeed in making it break.
There are in baseball today too
many "ten-cent" heads. That is what
Tinker thinks. Players do not give
thought to their work. This does not
refer only to the pitchers, but to
catchers infelders and outfielders as
WELL
Tinker recalled the game of 20
years ago. Players had to be drilled
thoroughly in the minors before the
majors ever considered them. Any
time they made mistake they were
subjected to unmerciful criticism and
then had to take it. That was part Of
the game-to take it and not commit
the same error second time. Today
the recruits come into the majors with
out the schooling that recruits used to
have and they are above criticism.
They simply refuse to stand for it.
To sum it all up, the trouble with
baseball today in Tinker's opinion, is
that too many Of the players are pitt
fully stupid.

condition that it has ever been since it
was laid, with the possible exception
of the time after it was used for the
Red Cross pageant, "Caliban," six or

Dennis Enright, groundkeeper Of the
Harvard stadium, is of the opinion
that the damage was not so much the
result of the Yale game as the result
of the wild celebration afterwards.
He has real task before him and
one that is going to cost real money,
but he thinks it will be ready for the
next football season.

being under construction kept some
away on account of the muddy de-

PUBLIC COURSE
CHAMPION To
TURN PRO
Dick Walsh Has Several
Tempting Offers Under
Consideration.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Public
links golf IL soon to lose, its ma
tional amateur champion II Dick
Walsh can be prevailed upon to
turn professional. Since he cap
tured the national championship
last June, Walsh has received sew
eral tempting offers. One is from
a club in the Long Island district
which last. year was none too well
pleased with its professional.
Although he would much prefer
to remain In the amateur ranks,
Walsh Is forced to earn his own
living, and cannot devote as much
time to the game as he would like.
That is one reason he did not fare
as well in the National Open last
July at Inwood. While many of
the professionals and high class
amateurs were devoting days and
weeks to practice, Walsh was
forced to remain at his desk In
q local newspaper office.
To Dick Walsh is due much OF
the credit for the high standing
of public links golf in this city.
He IL a real product of the poor
mans course, having learned on
the public links at Van Cortlandt
Park, where he and his brother
Billy caddied for several years.
After going through the ranks OF
his fellow caddies at Van Cort'
landt, Dick turned his attention
to the New York city amateur
championship and was twice the
winner of this event.
