USE YOUR HEAD IS
 ADVICE OF WALTER
Famous Hurler Also Banks HeaY-
 fly on Control
By WALTER JOHNSON

Famus Pitcher, Washington American
 Work for control.
 Develop a change of pace.
 Study your batters carefully.
 Take advantage of, their weakness
 Conserve your pitching strength al all times.
 This enables you to have something in reserve for the pinch.
 Don't grow careless on supposedly weak batters. Rate every player 6 dangerous hitter.
 Work with your catcher. A brainy backstop is a decided asset. Good catching is an essential of great pitching.
 However, don't become a mere ma chine If you don't like what the catcher has sgnaled for, shake him off and talk it over.
 Have confidence in your ability. No pitcher can succeed without such an asset. Make up your mind that every batter respects your stuff
 Work hard.
 Good Catcher Great Help
 That is my tabloid sermon to pitch CTS who aspire to reach the big | leagues.
 Around these theories. briefly ex- pressed, my career has been shaped. 1 If had learned some of the lessons sooner my work would have been that much easier. I have particular reference to developing a change of pace.
 Control is perhaps pitchers greatest asset. I have certain set convictions about control. My idea of control is not merely aiming the ball over the plate but rather pitching to the batter's weakness.
 Control is an acquired art. Some pitchers are blessed by being more accurate than others, yet every pitcher can perfect himself by constant effort
 Fast Ball Easiest On Arm
 A strong pitching arm is A gift of nature. Every pitcher fortunate enough in having a million dollar arm as they say in baseball, should nurse it along.
 find that fast ball delivered with natural motion is easiest on the arm. That may sound strange, yet the throwing of the curve or slow ball takes much more out Of the arm. Like control, change of pace can be acquired. Throwing the slow one is more difficult for some pitchers than others. This is due to the fact that they are forced 10 change their style.
 A slow ball is not really effective unless delivered with the same motion as the fast one.
 All Eaters Arc Dangerous
 Dope all batters as dangerous. ] never ease up on the supposedly soft ones. l have found that in pinch some of the so-callcd weak hittcrs arc far more dangerous than many bat ters with a latter average. find left-handed batters moro troublesome on the whole than those who hit from the right side of the plate. A majority of the left handlers play more baseball, work the pitcher harder.

l2-3 DEFEAT SENDS GIANTS
 SLIDING INTO THIRD PLACE
Pirates Turn Trick While Cubs Are Defeating Philade pha-All Other Games in Each Big League Called Off Because of Adverse Weather.

New York, May 21.-Followers of the Giants may invoke the new long distance photograph to determine what has happened to the National champions since they left the Polo Grounds.
 When last seen here McGraw's team was proud in a secure league leader ship and resplendent with two ab- surdy easy victories over the Phillies in one afternoon. Since then they have won only three of IS games and are now in third place, only one and one-half games away from fifth and in immediate danger of being showed out of first division by the ambitious Robins and Braves.
 The most unkindest cut" a F to defeat, was inflicted by their most bitter rivals, the cruel corsairs Of Pittsburgh, yesterday. Wayland Dean and Ernie Maun, styled by training emp reports as the saviors of the Giant pitching staff and the two ap- pies of McGraw's eyes, were beaten from the box--Dean for the third time in as many starts. Jonnard, who followed, was assaulted for four runs in the last inning.
 The Cubs beat Philadelphia to in the only other league contest not postponed by rain or cold weather yesterday. The win advanced the vic- tors to second place, one-half game ahead of the Giants and the same dis tance behind Cincinnati.
 Vic Keen, rookie, who flashed two hit victory last week, held the Phillies to i've blows while his mates made Il off Glasener. The Phillies, though frustrated, were not>futile. Three of their i've hits were home runs by Sand, Walker and Mokan. Sand also had triple and the last was a double by Ford. Grimes of the Cubs hit his fourth homer.
 Chicago :, Phillie. 1.
 Chicago, May 21.-Vic Keen held the Phillies to five hits yesterday and the Cubs won to 4. Mokan who hit homer in the ninth was the only visitor to, reach first base after the third inning. Sand hit a home run in the first and Walker in the third. The score:

ing once stopped and was blown later
from Box Is. When the department

coming from the building. The blaze
started near the furnace in the base
ment and worked its way through the
partition to the third story. After
two hours of hard work it was under
control. All the nine guests of the
house escaped without injury. altho
several narrowly escaped. Mrs.
Hutchinson escaped in her night

None of the guests suffered any seri-
Gus loss. The damage was estimat-
ed at $4,000 and the greater part of
it was covered by insurance. This
hotel was for many years known as
the Weston house but for several
years as the Windsor hotel. 1t was
built about thirty years ago and con-
tanned 40 rooms and the dining room.
This is the second time this house has
suffered by fire in ten years. After
