There is no more reason for
delegaIing the power to NOMl-
NATE than there is for delegat-
ing the power to ELECT. In
Maine. nomination and election
usually are synonymous. VIII
anyone dare advocate giving to
delegates the power to ELECT
governor? And yet in reality that
is what the opponents to the
primary seek to do. A rev
scheming men want to pick ana
choose governors and other I'M
uortant officials from some back
room in the Augusta House.
The primary was ? won only
after a determined fight on the
part of those who believed in
the right of the people to con-
troll their own affairs, and this
right is not to be taken from
them The present agitation
will come to naught, especially
as the women of Maine realize
that their influence in man-con-
trolled conventions would be
negligible. They are too keenly
and intelligently interested IN
the States welfare to allow
themselves to be relegated to an
inferior position.-Ex- Governor
Baxter.

such extent as rates are increased
over existing levels, to such extent

remained as editor until December,
1855, when it was sold to N. X.

Speed Gets Preference.
Nowadays In the big leagues the
recruit with plenty of speed is given
more consideration than a newcomer
with even a better curve ball. for in
stance The same principle is appli-
cable on scholastic, collegiate and all
amateur and semi professional clubs.
Fred Marberry, who did so much to
help the Washington club win its first
pennant, was a youngster with a
world of speed. He earned his place
because OF this.
Walter Johnson's career is an ex-
ample Of how much longer a fast-bail
pitcher will last than a man of me
dunn speed. The reason Is that man
who relies on speed doesn't put such
a strain on his arm. There is nothing
jcrky about his delivery. The mus
cles of the arm do not have to un-
dergo so much wear and tear
When a fast ball pitcher adds a
curve and slow ball to his wares he
Is always hard to beat. Change of
pace is what battles a batsman. If
you are set to hit a fast one and the
pitcher sends up "hoater." as play
ers call slow ball, the chances are
you will miss the ball altogether. SO
r workmanlike pitcher should strive
to add curve and slow ball to his
fast one Unless he has unusual speed
he will not otherwise get the best
results.
It is no easy job for a youngster to
learn the actual mechanics of pitch
ing. He must have patience and per-
severence. He will have to go through
lot of drudgery to reach his goal.
But il he keeps his eyes and ears
open and Is willing to learn and profit
by his mistakes, he will pick up a
surprising amount of valuable infor-
nation.
Must study Batters.
He must make a careful study of
all batters who face him. His job is
to learn the batter's points of strength
and weakness.@-If you find man hits
a high fast one once, don't give him
one again. If he doesn't hit such a
delivery. keep feeding 1t to him. In
other words, pitch to his weakness.
not his strength.
Too much stress cannot be laid ,on
Evening star., 1925-03-04

learning what batters can and cannot
hit. Lack of such knowledge or fall
ure to apply 1t in a close spot Is
pretty sure to coast a team a game.
pitcher who delivers a ball where
the batter likes 1t when the score Is
close must take the blame for de-
feat If the hitter drives in the win
ming run or runs.
Because a pitcher should know the
hitting style of all the batters he may
be expected to face, his Job doesn't
begin and end when he does his turn
in the box He should be a keen OBJ
server On the bench and learn from
his teammates whatever they know
about the opposing hitters. He has
to work with his head as well as his
arm.
Having control Of the ball is quite
as important as knowing the batters.
In fact, for youngster who really
has the qualities OF a pitcher control
is the most vital thing for him to ac-
Quire. He can learn control by throw
ing the ball at a set target, starting
with slow balls at short range and
gradually increasing the speed and
range until the distance is the same
between the pitchers box and the
home plate. Then he can work with
a catcher behind the bat and finally
practice with a man at bat The
pitcher with good control Is the one
behind whom a team will play its
best defensive game.
Control Gives Conscience.
When a pitcher has control he has
confidence in himself. without the
latter no youngster will go far as a
twirler. A pitcher should feel pretty
certain that when the ball leaves his
hand it is going to fool the batter.
Otherwise he doesn't put all his stuff
In his delivery.
A young pitcher with a good fast
ball to start with and who develops
a curve, change of pace and good
control will always be hard for any
team to bent.
