ishment at home they are immune
to further fear" In fact, some of
the boys have a bunch the club may
do better away from Washington
Park, which is a good way of look
ing at it because the FASTENERS
couldn't do much worse.
This afternoons twin bill was
carded to get under way at 3 and
represented the fourth and fifth
games of the series.
Toledo annexed the third of the
series Friday, to 5, barely landing
in front. Manager Stengel became
frightened in the ninth, withdrew
Huntzinger from the mound, sub
stituted Mccullough and then
hustled Palmero to the box The
Tribe had two runners on base
when the game-ending out was
made.
Five Hen Errors
The Hens were cratic in the field
Friday, committing five errors, and
we're lucky to win. Matthews gave
them start by playing single bad
ly in the first inning, the hit going
for three bases. And Matty booted
drive in the second that helped the
visitors to another run.
Koupal, the Indians starting
hurler, was solved freely, allowing
eleven hits in 1-3 innings. Ferd
Schupp relieved and pitched good
ball in spots, but wildness hurt him.
He permitted only four hits in 2-3
innings, but had two wild pitches,
walked two men and baked once.
A walk, a wild pitch and a balk in
the fifth round helped Hen runner
score and that marker proved the
margin of victory for Toledo.
KoehIer Shares Liner
Walter Holke almost won the con-
test for the Indians in the ninth. He
met the ball just right and drove
low liner to center, but Koehler
came In fast and shared the sphere
to end the struggle. If Walters
poke had landed in safe spot the
chances are Layne and Snyder, who
were on the paths, would have
reached the plate.

1t is my opinion that any
youngster who combats the pres

develops a snappy delivery and
wastes no time between pitches,
will be even more successful and
certain far more popular than the

II the later DAY STARS, Lyons,
III truly great pitcher, is one
L. of the few fast workers. Ly-
ons doesn't waste any time between
pitches and there is no long-drawn-
out windup with him on the rubber.
OF the>~new pitching ,stars I'M
earthed during the past year, I re-
gard Willis Hudlin of the Cleveland
club as one of the most promising.
He is, however, the opposite of Ly-
ons-very, very slow.
One of the slowest pitchers I ever
umpired was "Slow-Joe" Doyle of
the New York Yankees. Hudlin is
not far behind.
Possibly the fact that this is only
Hudlin's second year in fast COM
pany is the main reason for. his
style, believing working too fast
would tend to throw him off his
stride. Still, I think he would be
just as effective and certainly a
much more pleasing pitcher to
watch.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-07-02

Lyons might well be classed the
perfect twirier. He has great speed
a fast breaking curve, a beautiful
change of pace, is brilliant field
er, a good batsrnan and very fast
on the bases. What more could
you ask?

TT HE late Eddie Plank and
RUDE Waddell, two of the
greatest of modern south
paws, were tough to beat. In "a
sense, Plank was possibly more val
liable as team player, yet he was
an also ran compared with Waddell
as to public favor.
Waddell didn't waste a second be-
tween pitches. He was almost per-
petual motion from the time he
stepped on the rubber until the fin
sish of the game. In addition, ne
had many eccentricities which the
fans liked.
Plank, on the other hand, was
directly opposite Waddell as to style.
He would scratch about the rubber
after each pitch, hitch up his trous-.
ers, adjust his cap and shake off his
catcher several times, simply to-
work on the nerves of the batSman.
Plank made even the umpire nerv-
Gus by his methods and I am sure
the fans much more so. : Only at
home was Eddie a great favorite.
Fans in other cities knew it meant
a long drawn out, tedious game any
time Eddie was the Philadelphia
pitching selection.

pitched six-hit games and deserved
to win both contests, he was forced
to accept defeat, simply because the
breaks of the game refused to favor
him.
Now Lyons feels better as he beat
the Indians the other day to leave
thirteen behind. The way he is 60
ing he should win twenty-five ball
games for Chicago this year and has
a chance to reach the goal of every
big league hurler, thirty victories in
q season.

TT7F I we're young pitcher
breaking into the major
leagues, I would cultivate
speed as to my actions on the
mound, rather than dilatory meth
DDS now SO popular, particularly in
the American league.
Take your time, don't hurry" is
the college yell of most big league
managers relative to their young
pitchers. The thought is that such
methods tend to develop poise as
well as irritate the opposing bats
men.
Z Perhaps there is considerable logic
to such line of reasoning but the
slow working pitcher never becomes
"a truly great favorite with the pub
lie, even though he becomes highly
efficient and a consistent winner.
y AS I recall the truly great favors
ties with fandom over, say the last
twenty years, the fast working pitch
ers stand out. Take the three great
right flanders of that period, Mat
shewson, Johnson and Alexander,
and you will find all of them speedy
performers.

We find the present crop of
young pitchers leaning to the
take-your- time theory, rather
than hurry-up methods.
