ROBOT PITCHERS
DEVISED BY MANY
Patents Also Is Sued for
Special Bats and Other
Diamond Equipment.
BY ALEXANDER r. GEORGE,
Associated Press Stan Writer.

~ IZZY and Daffy Dean and the
other luminaries Of the dia-
mond can rest on their
laurels until the call for 1885
Spring training, but base balls un-
sung inventors work the year round.
Records of the United States patent
office reveal that hundreds Of patents
have been issued, in season and out,
on base ball equipment and devices
ranging from balls, bats and gloves to
special gadgets designed to improve
the batter's eye and the pitchers de-
livery.
Paul Boone Of the classification
division of the patent Office says there
are few batting practice cages and
strike zone target devices, but the
mechanical base ball thrower seems
to be the favorite vehicle Of ingenu-
ity along that line.
Robot Pitchers.
THERE are about 35 patents on
these robot pitchers, which are
said to have all of the stuff"
employed by the best flesh and blood
moundsmen with the additional asset
of having no nerves and consequently
never blowing up" in an imaginary
"hot spot"
These mechanical throwers are
fabricated, Boone says, to simulate
the throws of the big league pitchers.
The ball is projected at the home
plate at a speed approximating the
normal pace of a pitched ball, and
the path of travel is so controlled as
to produce curves and other ruses of
the professional hurler.

double herringbone knotted lock-
stitch"
The first United States patent on
a base ball bat appeared in 1866, G.
w. Hill being the patentee. The most
recent on record was issued in No.
vember, 1888, to C. r. Beck and Gar
nett L. Beck of Anderson, Ind. The
patents on bats represent variety Of
ideas, the most outstanding being the
prevention Of splintering or checking.

son, will be answered to-
morrow at Beaver Dam when the man
they used to call the "Dutchman," the
same Voigt, who literally raised him.
self by his bootstraps to a position of
international prominence in golf, is
due to show his immaculate golf swing
in the Brightwood ex-caddies' tourna-
ment at Beaver Dam.
Not in two years has the one-time
District and Middle Atlantic champion
done anything in golf since the day
he shot a "a for the first nine at Five

golfers of Washington, one of the
two men Washington has turned out

qualify for the championship at
Brookline this year, four years after he
carried Bob Jones to the eighteenth

Plays With Old Pals.

EORGE is slated 10 play IN
7 foursome which will include
Harry Pitt, the Manor cham
pion: r. Cliff McKimmie, profess
sional at the Fountain Head Country
Club of Hagerstown, and Jesse Bag
gett. All four, together with the rest
of the competitors in the tourney at
Beaver Dam, used to haul golf bags
around that hilly course Of the old
Columbia Country Club in Brightwood,
a spot now grown up with houses,
streets and children.
Seven years ago George Voigt was
the top-liner in amateur golf around
Washington, winner of almost every
tournament he entered, verging on the
national recognition which came to
him a year later when he won the
qualifying medal in the championship
at Brae-Burn. Today he is unplaced
as a national figure. He was men,
Der of the Walker Cup team of 1890,
and a prominent one-a man whom
the Scots figured as second only to
Jones as a SHOEMAKER. 1t cannot be
that the once immaculate game OF
George Voigt has left him, for a swing
like his swing doesn't 60 away so
fast. Nor does the fine putting touch
which Voigt had leave any man within
the short space of three or four years.
Drops From Competition.
nut the fact is, nevertheless, that
Il George has dropped out of COM
petition. His winnings around
New York, where he has made his
home since 1927. have been few during
the last two years, where once he was
ranked as the top golfer Of the metro
politan area, placed at scratch rating
on the Met Association handicap list
along with Jess Sweetser.
The answer will come tomorrow at
Beaver Dam, where the lads who know
more Of George than any others will
entertain him, if he keeps his promise
and comes back to Washington for a
whirl around that lengthy Beaver Dam
course. No man ever has won more
in golf around this town than George
Voigt. No man suffered such whis-
pering campaign and held his head up
through it all. Can it be that his
game has left him, or is he still the
immaculate SHOEMAKER Of 1927-the
man who couldn't lose golf match?
