PITCHERS SELDOM
 ARE GOOD H|TTERs
Lack Of Effort and Interest
 Probably Reason
(By Billy Evans.)

Pitchers as rule are seldom good hitters, No one has ever offered satisfactory explanation for that truth. In all probability it is due to lack of eHort and interest in the art of bat ting. Most pitchers are content tn work on the theory that they are paid to keep the opposition from hitting rather than do any hitting thcm- selves.

When q manager calls upon pitcher as pinch hitter, he is cer- tainly doing the unexpected. Such things do happen. Walter Johnson often is assigned that role at Wash. ington. In the last world series Joe Bush played the part.

Although four months have passed since the close of the 1928 world ser- ies, and it is regarded as ancient his tory, every now and then some fan asks me why Manager Huggins called upon Joe Bush during that big ially in the final game or the series. have reference to the inning in which five runs were scored ofr Artie Nehf, after he had held the Tanks prac- tically helpless for seven innings
New Britain herald., 1924-02-14

The thought of the inquiring fans is that lluggins must have had more capabla batsmcn on the bcnch than Bush, the impression being that all pitchers arc poor hitters.
 True. Husgins did have Elmer smith. Hendricks, Haines and num- Der of other first string subs on fhe bench but to Hnggins. Joe Bush was the most dangerous batsman he could offer at that particular moment 10 suit the situation that existed. Hug gins wanted right-handed hitter. ono capable of cracking out an extra base wallop that might break up the game.
 Joc Bush is just such a hitter lie had an average Of .s1G for the soa- son. He made 3l hits. and of these 10 were for exira bases. practically 
 Well do ! recall remark Catcher Frank Syndcr made 10 ma during the fifth game Of the series. which Bush pitched and won. lie alro did some good hitting in that game. "Is this fellow really a good hitter, Bill ef' asked Synder az Bush approached the plais. told him American league pitchers always worked their hardest on him and that raisd him one Of the best hitting pitchers in the league.

 Possibly tho knowledge possessed os tho Giants pitchers as 10 BuSh's ability at tho bat. had something to io with the very costly base on balls hat he received in the big inning that lccided tho series. Probably psychol- ,gy played its part.

That the Dawson high school glee
club. who so ably entertained the pub
lie a few weeks ago, will carry their
show to other towns is more than
probable. The junior class of the Cor
dele high school wishes to sponsor the

that an epidemic of measles has great

If the club should go to Cordele

five who must make the trip, and I'M
less the people OF the town respond
to the appeal for cars the trip cannot
be success financially and, in all
probability, cannot be made at all
No doubt those who failed to see

SEEKING MEN "PALS"
OF HOMING PIGEONS
BIRDS USED IN BLACKMAIL-
ING SCHEME TO GET $1,000.
AN UNUSUAL PLOT.

NEW YORK, n. VA homing
pigeon was delivered today to VIII
liam Borheck, wealthy Long Island
city dry goods merchant, with note
directing him to attach $1,000 to the
leg OF the bird and release it to fly
back to the alleged blackmailers.
Fearing the most unusual plot in
the history OF the police department
Captain John Gallagher in charge OF
detectives. seeking the pals OF the
bird. said he would use a police air
plane to trace the senders OF the pig
con. He plans TO let the bird go and
then have it chased to its home.
Pigeon Delivered Note.
The pigeon was delivered to Mr.
Borheck by a driver OF a taXicab who
departed as soon as he deposited the
box. Mr.. Borheck opened the box be-
fore reading the note attached and
was astounded when he read this note:
UNLESS you deliver $1,000 by this
bird your life will be in danger"
The threat was unsigned. 1t was
written in ink and the writer had dis
guised his or her hand by slanting
all the letters backward.
Mr.. Borheck notified the Astoria
police. He refused to talk to newspa-
per n4en. The bird was left in the
custody OF Captain Gallagher The
captain after mulling the unique af-
fair over decided it was job for the
aero squad. He pointed out that a
homing pigeon would always home, :"
and that if it were released the chanc-
cs are an airplane could whirr along
back OF it and locate the plotters.

THE IMMIGRANT LOAD

A few Boston people are getting
awake to the fact that the foreign
born have added a load to the hos
pitfalls Of Massachusetts,. Statistics
point out that during a considerable
number OF years the per cent. OF for
eign born living In Massachusetts, has
averaged approximately As and that
OF aliens rs. In a population Of 1879
in Massachusetts, hospitals on October
l, 1928, As per cent. or $3.50, were
foreign born, and 25 per cent, or $500
were aliens. The cost Of caring for
the foreign born, based on mainte-
nance expenditures, for 1923 was an
proximately $2,s77,11s.40 and the cost
Of caring for the aliens was approx
imately $1.653.95523. These figures
make clear the fact that II the foreign
born population could be removed
from the Massachusetts, institutions at
least five hospitals for detectives could
be closed up permanently.
IL aliens alone were removed, three
institutions could be closed up. These
data are offered by no less an an
thority than the Lieutenant Governor
of Massachusetts, Alvan T. Fuller.
Just how long the refuge of the
refugees will remain open to the
weaklings Of Europe is a question 70
