NEW YORK, February 9.--Atten-
ton was concentrated on the local

it was practically new, for as soon
as ball showed the least signs of
wear it was tossed out, The cover
ings of the new balls are oily and
slippery, which makes them hard to
grip, and to curve a ball you must
be able to grip it.
The new ball did not affect slow
ball pitching. but there has not been
enough of this. Many pitchers fail
to make good in the major leagues
because they have failed to develop
a slow ball. 1t is the slow ball that
protects the fast ball and curve and
makes them good.
Slow Ball Is Essential.

1t has always been a wonder to
me that more pitchers are not in

from the batter. which is not far awax
When a ball is hit back at him on
the line, II is generally hit SO fast
that he has not time to protect him

batting practice. Here the batters de

hit the fast ones and they do hit
them--a great many right back at the
pitcher That is the reason most OF

training. Mckechnie says that every
man WHO has spoken to him about
Rhyme has insisted that he can play
the infield as well on one side of the
base as on the other.
There isn't the slightest reason
why l should interfere with Wright
at short" Mckechnie said. He is
the best shortstop in the United
States"
1t is evident that Moore did not
give complete satisfac tion at second
in 1925. Outside of anything that
has to do with his playing, an eXag-
Gerated ego, ridiculed by some of the
other players, may have something to
do with any little unpleasantness that
may have arisen on the Pittsburgh
team.
Payers of other clubs say Moore
gave the impression that but for
him the Pirates would not have got
ten away with the victory in their
circuit. These players also talk
about the things Moore didn't do in
the world series that they think he
should have done.
However, these players must ac-
cept the fact that 1t was Moore's
home run that did a great deal toward
winning the world series for Pitts
burgh.

The combination of Waner. Carey
and Cuyler may give the 1925 Pirates
a batting average of about $50. And
that figure would not be likely to
suffer much if Isarnhart Went in for
one of the regular trio. Barnhart
was the best timely batter of the
Pirates last season. In the world
series he finally managed to get go
ing when the remainder of the
Pirates started. and his finish was
quite as Creditable as that of his
fellows. There Is only one little fault
with Rarnhart. He is not quite 50
active on his feet as his fellows.
Changes Stance Often.
Waner has one little fault. too. but
this can be corrected easily. while
BarnhaTt'S cannot. Waners fault is
that he shifts his batting stance too
much on suEgestion'from others. But
in spite of that he can hit around
400 and meets the ball most of the
time on the nose. Batting from one
angle one day and from another the
next and constantly changing his
grip on the bat is not good base ball,
Just the same.
At second base for the Pirates
there is plenty OF reason to believe
that Rhyme will be started in Spring

The most important thing in pitch
ing is control. You must have that.
1t does not matter how much stuff
you carry to the box if you cannot
control 1t. You will simply get your
self in a hole pitching fast balls, slow
balls and curves, and then you must
lay the ball into the groove to get
out of the hole or walk your batter.
Control is the big thing. A pitcher
must get his stuff over and depend
on his fielders. There are more games
lost each year on bases on balls than
on base hits.
Grif Clever Pitcher.
Clark Griffith. Red" Donohue. Bill
Donovan and others whose names are
known to all baseball fans kept on
pitching after they had lost their
stuff because they had studied bats
men, found their weaknesses and knew
how to pitch. They put the ball where
they wanted to because they had con
troll.
Pitching today is a much simpler
matter than it was 80 years ago. be
cause there are so many pitchers
Unless man has remarkable
phSsiGue he is not worked oftener
than every fourth or fifth day. They
do not make men bigger today than
they made them 80 years ago; rather
they did not make them bigger so
years ago than today AT that time
a pitcher thought nothing about work
ing every other day. Imagine the
present pitcher working every third
day. we will say,
Thirty years ago every club looked
alike to a pitcher, but not today.
Now. most of them like to pick their
spots. They want to pitch only against
certain teams When thew think they
have the edge on a club. they want
TO be pitched against that club. When
they think "a club has the edge on
them; they do not care about facing
that particular team.
1t is harder TO curve a ball now
than it used to be and this has cut
into pitching effectiveness in the last
five years. The cause for the diff
