One Of the Famous Ogden Brothers Pitchers,
livery member of The Star
Boys Club can start right now
~ learning to be pitcher. All
we need is the side Of house. a
piece Of chalk, and base ball.
It's an old joke to yell ct a wild
pitcher. why. you can't hit the side
OF a house."
Well. lets not only learn TO hit the
side Of the house. but hit an exact
spot on the side of il.
My younger brother, Curly, and my
self were farmer boys. Both OF us
liked base ball and wanted to be
pitchers. We were told that q pitcher
needed control more than anything
else. So we drew the figure of bat.
ter on the side OF the barn and then
drew strike" zone in front OF him
and pitched to see how many strikes
we could throw without throwing
four balls. 1

the right space begin to improve on
your control so you can throw the
ball anywhere you wish.
For instance. you or your catcher.
or some one on the team might know
that the batter up was weak on a
high fast one inside. Then you would
have to be able TO throw at the spot
No. 1.
Or maybe the batter would be weak
on low wide one, No. 2.
Naturally, at the start you'll be
glad IL you can aim in the general
direction of spot 5. but most batsmeri
murder a ball right IN the groove.
Control is something besides getting

BASE BALL SECRETS
by Sol Metzgei --

Once base runner gets the
signal to steal he should be care
full not to give away his intentions.
Big leaguers never change their
position or lead off the base
whether they intend to steal or not,
as the player on the left in the
illustration is doing. inexperienced
players usually tip off the opposi-
ton that they are going to steal
after receiving the signal either by
taking greater lead than usual or
by setting themselves for a start
toward second. as the player on
the right is doing.

After Heilmann left New York he
began to pick up. He rested little
before he started on his pickup. Since
then there has been nothing like the
rapid pace by which he has gone
toward the top, and there is no reason
for assuming that he won't be around
the top at the close Of the season.
Ruth Not So Strong.
Ruth, now out of the game, has
been doing his best early, and he is
not as likely to maintain his pace. His
ambition is as strong as 1t YVES In
April, when he told the wide world
that he would be better and greater
Ruth, but his batting is not as fast
as 1t has been, even IL he leads the
major leagues with his home run
thumps.
Ruth is not as strong as he was in
the days of aud lang syne. The
penalty of age is creeping upon him,
in addition to the ailments with which
he has been afflicted from time to
time. Nothing has Slapped his de-
termination and good intent, but his
legs are wavering again and he Is
not mounted on underpinning that
would win a fiapper first prize in a
Charleston contest.
Next to Ruth and Heiimann there
are two other batters in the American
League who are worthy of a lot Of
favorable comment. One of them is
Falk of Chicago. who has been hailed
as the coming batter Of the circuit,
and the other is Burns of Cleveland,
who is having just such q year as
Speaker had in 1925, although Burns
doesn't put the credit for 1t on the
lively ball and iris unfortunately did
so.
Cuyler is Improving.
In the National League. Cuyler of
the Pirates holds on. This kid may
hold on to the finish. He is a bat
ting plugger. Although he was fool
ed, blinded and turned topsy turvy
by Walter johnson in the early part
Of the 1925 world series, Cuyler
came back with q rush. He ended
up by driving home the winning run
of the SERIES
Cuyler bats the same way in the
league play. He doesn't invariably
get there, but before the week Is
out he is UP to the figure that he
had been setting before and maybe
a little better off. 50
1t is interesting to recall some
part of Cuyler's history, which has to
do with the arguments that the
Pirates are accustomed to have with
the Giants In one series on the Polo
grounds in which the Pirates We're
licked badly before they won the
championship, Cuyler was at bat in
every game at a moment when a base
hit would have meant victory. In
every crucial test" he failed and
Pittsburgh lost five games.
.Kiki Has Determination.
That didn't knock Cuyler down as
Il might have crashed some players
to the bottom. He came back and
helped to win q championship for
his team and then bottled the world
series. Al player who can do that is
likely to win the batting champion
ship of the National League this
year.
AS for competition, Bressler of the
Cincinnati Reds is ranging on the
upward path. and he may have some
thing to say about championships by
the end of September.

Spilled Wine Brings Luck

An American senator travelling in
the Balkans was invited to dine with
one of the ruling monarchs. The
American being Of somewhat nerv-
Gus temperament 1t is easy to imagine
his dismay when. as toasts were pro-
posed. his champagne glass slipped
from his hand and the contents were
spilled over the tablecloth. His royal
host, however, was more than equal
to the occasion. He Immediately
touched the spot on the tablecloth with
his fingers, rubbed some of the spilled
wine on the back Of his ear and ex-
claimed. "You have brought good luck
on my house." AS matter Of fact,
however, the king was prompted by
an old superstition. 1t Is well-known
Slav saying that IL wine Is spilled by
a guest, good luck will attend the
mousse
