Few StrikeOut pitchers nave enjoyed
extended careers. Most OF them last
ed only A short time. The reason
for this is that they exert themselves
too much. In their efforts to be rec
ognized as strikeout pitchers they bear
down on every ball. They try to
breeze the ball past the batter. They
continually strain their arms. and as
a result they wear them out quickly.
Johnson an Exception.
You will say that Walter Johnson
was a great strikeOut pitcher and
lasted long time. That is true. but
johnson was an exception. You must
remember that johnson had an ideal
pitching motion. The way he pitched
meant little strain on his arm He
had the easiest motion ina ginable, the
most natural. His side-arm delivery
meant comparatively little expendi.
ture of energy. He used very little
effort. But how many pitchers are
there of the Johnson type? | do not
remember another man in my IS years
In base ball that had the same ca ~,
and grace and lack Of effort. In
Johnson one finds the ideal combina
ton. just a. one discovers the perfect
blending of t~lents in Cobb, but the
Johnsons come less frequently than
once in a generation, and so do the
Cobbs.
One thing that often disgusts fol
lowers of base bah In these days is
the frequent changing of pitchers.
In my opinion, the fellow that In
vented the bull pen did not do the
game any good. He started some
thing. The manager who first thought
OF using relief pitchers contributed
nothing to the advancement OF hase
ball. As a matter of fact. he intro
duced an idea that has become dis.
tinCt nuisance.
Not Fond Of Work.
Not since the days of Walsh and
Cheshro. IL and 90 years ago, have
pitchers thought they could do much
work. When two or three hits are
made off them. they Immediately look
