Billy EVANS Says

Pitchers as rule are seldom good
hitters:. No one has ever offered n
satisfactory explanation for that
truth. In all probability it is due to
lack of effort and interest in the art
of battingS Most pitchers are con-
tent to work on the theory that they
are. paid to keep the opposition from
hitting rather than do any hitting
themselves.
When manager calls upon Il
pitcher as a pinch hitter, he is GER
tainly doing the unexpected. Such
things do happen. Waltem Johnson
often is assigned that role at Wash
ington. In the last world series Joe
Bush played the part.
Although Your months have passed
since the close of the 1923 world SER
les, and it is regarded as ancient his
tory, every now and then some fan
asks me why Manager Higgins call
ed upon Joe Bush during that big
rally in the final game of the series.
which five runs were scored off Artie
Nehf. after he had held the Yanks
practically helpless for seven innings.
The thought of the nquirine fans
is that Higgins must have had more
capable batsmen on the bench than
Bush, the impression being that all
pitchers are poor hitters.
True, Higgins did have Elmer
Smith, Hendricks, Haines and num-
= ber of other first string subs on the
bench, but to Higgins, Joe Bush was
the most dangerous batsman he could
offer at that particular moment to
suit the situation that existed. Hug
gins wanted a righthanded hitter, one
capable of cracking out an extra base
wallop that might break up the game.
Joe Bush is just such hitter. He
had an average of PA for the sea-
son. He made 81 hits, and of these
10 were for extra bases, practically
one third
Well do / recall REMARK Natcher
Frank Snyder made to me during the
fifth game of the series, which bush
pitched and won. He also did some
good hitting in that game. as this
fellow really Il good hitter, Bill 2
asked Snyder as Bush approached
the plate. | told him American Lea
que pitchers always worked theil
hardest on him and that l rated hin
one of the best hitting pitchers il
the league. "McGraw sure gave u!
catchers the rag for the way w
had our pitchers work on him il
1922" continued Snyder, "and w
have strict instructions to give hin
no cripples this year. McGraw want
US to figure him a regular 300 bats
man, dangerous at all times"
Possibly the knowledge possesse
by the Giants pitchers as to Bush
ability at the bat, had something t.
do with the very costly base on ball
that he received in the big inning
that decided the series. Probabl
psychology played it's part.

CROWD WELCOMES
BUSHMEN HOME
Indians Start Practice at Park
This Afternoon,

Ownie Bush's Indians arrived In In
dianapolis from the Southland at noon
today and unpacked their bats, balls
and uniforms for the first 1924 home
practice this afternoon. Nearly vthe
full squad was TO be on hand at
Washington park for a short session.
About 500 fans were at the station
to greet the Tribe athletes. The boys
were slightly travel-worn.
Sticking and Hodapp were granted
permission to stop off at Cincinnati,
and will not reach Indianapolis until
Friday. Fitzsimmons also was per-
mitted to go to his home at Misha-
waka for short stay. Allen and
Kruger did not come. up from Flor
Ida with the main squad, but are un-
der orders to report at once.
Manager Bush said today he still
thought he would use Burwell or
Petty on the mound in the opening
game with Minneapolis Tuesday.
These two hurlers probably will di-
vide the work in the Tribe box
against the Boston Red Sox Satm-
day.
All of the athletes were pleased to
be back on the home grounds and a
good diamond. Everybody is said to
be in good physical condition.
