The pitcher who expects to hold
runners close to the bags must de-
velop a quick throw. He can't waste
any motions in throwing to first base.
He will have to throw in one move
! ment. Young pitchers might well
practice the move in throwing to
first and to the batter in front of a
mirror. In this way they can de-
tect their faults and correct them.
The delivery motion to the batter
must also be quicker with men on
than without. A pitcher should be
able to put all his stuff on the ball

move. have seen some amateur
and minor leaguers with good moves

A pitcher should listen to the ad-
vice of his catcher, particularly so If
the backstop is an experienced player
and knows the batter. The catcher
may know more about the batting
strength and weakness of the hitter
than his battery mate. But a pitcher
should never hesitate to pitch his own
game If he feels certain a particular
kind of ball Will fool the batter.
Pitchers should not neglect batting
practice. Many youngsters, because
they are pitchers, think they are not
expected to hit. They are last in
the batting order and get the wrong
mental attitude. They should bat as
often as they can in practice. There
is no logical reason why a pitcher
shouldn't be as dangerous a batter as
any man on a team. Many of them
think they can't hit and as a result
fail when they might win many
games with timely rap.

Washington may have been the
Waterloo of McGraw. For several
years he has directed his soldiers
from position behind the lines
where once he rode with them. Two
more years may see his retirement
for he has become old in the service
and his seat in government is await

of his club.
McGraw was born in 1873 and start
ed to play about the time that he
learned to toddIe. For 35 years he
has been in the professional game, his
first engagement being with Olean,
\. Y, whence he progressed TO Ce-
dar Rapids. A major league scout
then took the youthful "Muggsy'' to
Baltimore. In August, 1891, McGraw
saw his first fast-company service
and for a year he sat on the bench,
but in 1892 he went to second base,
where Ned Hanlon quickly learned
that his protege was d good third
baseman, who soon became the best
fielder of bunts the National game
had seen.

manag ger. McGraw was sold to St

1t was then that McGraw organized
the Baltimore Orioles that have been
famous down through the years. Two
years later the team was diSorganized
and the leading third baseman of base
ball laid aside his spiked shoes and
the late Andrew Freeman called him
TO the helm that he has handled ex-
pertly for nearly a quarter of a CEN
