LHdC plCcIl1HS.
This year it's the Yankees who
have the greatest relief pitcher in
the business. That's old Cy Moore.
Cy has saved half dozen games
for us already this year, and the
season isn't a fifth over. At the
rate he's going now he'll have the
best winning record of any pitcher
in the league-and he probably
won't start half dozen ball games
all year.
A lot OF folks watch Moore
pitch, and wonder why Higgins
doesn't start him in a game.
The answer is that he's too
good a pitcher to start. That
sounds funny but it's a fact.
We've got five or six pitchers
who can start games-but
MOOre's the best bet we've got
to finish up the tight ones if
the regular pitcher begins to
WObble.
Relief pitching is a problem with
most clubs. They get in a tough
ball game, and their pitcher be-
gins to slip. They don't dare put
In a regular because they may need
him for some other game. So they
take a chance on some kid-and
it's $3.50 bet that they lose right
there.
Moore's different. When he goes
In there for relief stuff every guy
on the club knows that hen pitch
great ball. Instead of going in the
air, they settle down and win. Be.
lieve me, he's one of the best bets
the Yankees have. And if we win
the pennant you can mark it down
that ~Cy Moore deserves a lot of
credit.
/ don't know il you ever mo-
ticed it but nine out of every
ten clubs that win pennantS
have great relief pitchers.
Washington has always been
lucky that way. In their PEN
nant winning years they had

up when the other fellows
started slipping. Now they

Joe knows his onions, too. Last
year when the Cardinals were fight
ing for the flag they had Herman
Bell ready to go IN and take over
the job of saving all games. And
chaps like that are every bit as
valuable to the bali club as the
guys who take their turn on the
mound every fourth day.
A relief pitcher has got to have
something that other pitchers don't
have. He's got to have perfect con-
troll for one thing. When you send
new pitcher in there in a tough
spot, you want somebody who can
get that ball over the plate. You
want somebody who will make 'em
hit.
A relief pitcher has got to
have nerve and confidence,
He's got TO be able to keep his
head up with men on bases and
that isn't an easy job. And
then he's got to have something
on the ball. Take this fellow
Moore for instance. Moore
shows throws q sinker, and he
makes hitters pound It into the
ground. In seven innings
against the Indians the other
day there were only four balls
hit into the air. All the rest
were grounders to the infieId,
OF course it's easy to see the
advantage of that. When balls
are hit on the ground, there's
always a good chance of 4
double play-and it's a cineh
thereH be no scoring from third
on balls like that.
Take off your hat to Moroe.
He's the goods. And remember
what l say about relief pitchers.
They're mighty valuable guys to
have around-and you can't win a
pennant without 'em.

BROWN ASSAILs
D. c. HEADS

Failure Of the District govern.
ment to act promptly on the
recommendations of the Bureau of
efficiency has aroused the ire Of
Herbert d. Brown. chief of the
bureau, it was learned today.
Brown called on the District
Commissioners a few DAYS ago. 1t
was learned. to complain of the
manner in which his reports have
been received and acted upon.
1t il considered quite possible
that Browns complaints will be
taken UP by Congressional commits
tees this winter.
Brown Is said to he particularly
aroused over the criticism which
has been directed toward his re.
ports by various District heads.
Corporation Counsel w. w. Bride
recently submitted report to the
Commissioners severely criticising
the bureaus plan for revision OF
the collateral system in traffic
cases.
Wade Fl. coombs. superintendent
of licenses. also submitted a report
tearing to pieces the Bureaus
plan for distribution of automobile
registration tags.
Many other bureau reports have
met with opposition. Brown also
is understood to have complained
to the Commissioners of their prac.
tice OF sending bureau reports to
the heads of departments for com.
ment before making them public.

or the "mak'em eat out of your hand"
members of the society of success, it
is refreshing and encouraging to read
the description of Jeffres Wyman in
tribute paid to him by Oliver Wen

Holmes says of Jeffres Wyman,
who was one of Americas leading
anatomist, that "a more beautiful
and truly admirable character would
be hard to find among the recorded
lives of men and sciences.
"The basis of all was in his per-
sonal qualities, his absolute truthful
ness, his great modesty, his quiet
enthusiasm, his inexhaustible patience.
"He never boosted, he never sneer-
ed, he never tired, he put forward pre-
tensions to infallibility, though he
was not caught making mistakes; he
was always exact and positive as to
what he had seen, but willing to sus-
pend his opinion, however tempting
