Outside of the first baseman, an in
fielder will handle an average of five
chances in a game and an outftelder
four. They figure in that number of
plays, in other words. But the pitcher
figures in four or five plays on every
batter who faces him. There is the rea-
son why the pitcher must have great
endurance.
Gets Time to Rest.
True. he isn't called upon to work
every day, as are the other players. Cen
orally a pitcher does his best with three
or four days rest. Youngsters, particu-
larly, should not try to go full nine in
nings more often than that unless they
have reached their full growth. Too
much exertion of the throwing arm be-
fore a boy is fully developed will prove
costly in later years. Many a promising
youngster has been ruined as a pitcher
by being too enthusiastic in doing his
work
By no means overeXert your arm. You
will have plenty of chance to pitch if you
really have the stuff in you. Don't sacri
flee bright future for the sake of show
ing the other youngsters that you are an
Iron man." You have just SO many fast
balls in your arm. Every one wasted is
just one less you have for an emergency.
But to return to the preliminary train
ing work. A pitcher must be sure that
his legs are in fine condition. Next to
his arm the greatest strain is put on his
underpinning. l would recommend long
joys and walks for the young pitcher.
These strengthen his legs and improve
his wind. There are few better ways of
building up endurance powers than by
such hikes. There is no need for the
pitcher in training to put much time in
praCticing fast starts. The main task is
TO develop staying qualities
Bending exercises can also be highly
recommended. A pitcher should never
let fat accumulate around his waist line.
He should keep himself trim about the
stomach. Otherwise he can't pivot
smoothly. Too much fat around the
waist makes for a jerky delivery That
costs speed and control. When a pitcher
begins to put on fat his days as a STEADY
winner are numbered.
Help in Two Ways.
Simple bending exercises not only keep
the fat away. but they strengthen the
stomach muscles. These must be well
developed in a successful pitcher In
fact, practically every muscle in his body
must be we'll developed. He calls upon
them all when he has a hard game to
pitch. And there are mighty few games
of ball which are not hard on the pitcher,
whoever he may be.
The twirler with a proper, smooth
delivery is using arm, back, stoma CHI
and leg muscles. He can't get the
best results unless they are all prop
erly developed. They must work in
harmony or the pitcher will be in
effective sooner or later. That is
why / put so much stress on pre-
liminary training. A pitcher should
work himself into general good con-
dition before he even takes base
ball in his hand.
AS general rule, the pitcher
whose arm fails him after four or
five innings, who weakens consist
emily before going the full nine
inning route, has neglected to keep
his body in good condition. Often
times there isn't a thing the matter

He has a very nice stand at the
sprawls nor crouches as if he were
trying to sight a penny in the slot
picture through tho slit. The ball
came his way and he cut at IT quickly
ward right field on a line and with
speed. Sixteen pairs of eyes, more or
less, peeked out of 80 corners to see
whether some one else had seen that
hit, and as quickly peeked back. all
fearing that everybody else was doing
just what everybody else was doing
Some grinned and others beamed.
Bats Right Handed.
Niehaus bats right handed and he
does not bat as if he were tanning
chaff out of wheat. but he cuts into
the ball with a pretty slash that
gives the impression that he has been
following it all the way up and knows
why he swung at it. Batters Of that
type make good base ball and, if he
can hit and hold that position at the
bat, he will make this Pittsburgh
team.
If he does not, Barney Dreyfuss
will shrug his shoulders and remark,
We'll, you gotta take your chances
in base ball like everything else, only
you gotta take 'em all of the time"
And Sam Dreyfuss, who is here and
who has already trained himself
down to one size less in stockings
and one in his pair of sneaks, will
tell everybody that the dope was
wrong again.
No one is going to be foolish

swallow who will make the Pitts
burgh Summer after seeing him bat
just once. but there has been op-
portunity in other seasons to see
him bat and he did it well. And so,
if he has not lost the fine art, he
should be doing it again.
Sam Strang, the old Giant. says he
can hit. You can't get away from
the fact that a lot of the destiny of
the Pittsburgh club for 1925 is mixed
up with the first letter y, in Niehaus.
and the last letter S. Give these Pr
rates first baseman and they will
get somewhere, although they are
clamoring for pitchers, like all the
rest.
Aldridge Holding Out.
Aldridge, the Chicago pitcher. who
was involved in the trade with the
Cubs. has not signed a Pittsburgh
contract. The Cubs, having traded
him to Pittsburgh, say now that he is
hard man to sign. That often hap
pens in base ball, one club let's a
player go, and the club that gets
him finds the player will not play
for les sthan $1,000, althouhg he has
hitherto been glad to get $4,000. Then
the club which gets this player meets
the other fellow, who traded him, and
paid him $4,000, and the other fellow
says:
Yes, we always had trouble with
him at $4,000" That makes the man
who is the last party of acceptance
feel like going right down to the
bank and buying his daughter Amelia
a new diamond ring.
Probably Aldridge will sign. Usually
they do, but he will wheedle few
gallons of gasoline out of the Pitts
burgh club before he does.
