SPORTS NO CROWD TO GREET 0'TOOLE St. Paul $22,000 Beauty Lands Quiet- - ly in Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pa., Aug. 15.—Marty 0O'Toole, the $22,600 pitcher, was al- lowed to land here with no crowd at the station to greet him save a uni- formed crowd that wanted to smash Mr. O0'Toole’s baggage, but there was one tiny, middle aged woman who spotted Marty, went up to him and said: “Marty, let yourself be shak- in’ hands with your aunt.” “What's that?” asked O0'Toole, somewhat surprised. “Oh, I'd be known your features anywhere,” she reassured him, “for your face favors your father.” Also Marty reached out the whip that made St. Paul famous and had to stoop to hear the little woman say that she was Mrs. Mary McGlinty of the North side and that she was a “really” aunt of his. She has been watching the sporting pages for his coming and was at the station two hours before he got in at 11 o’clock L.om. CALLAHAN IS STILL SPEEDY Bill Lange, Former Chicago Outfield- er, 1s Not Surprised by “Come Back” of Old Teammate. Bill Lange of San Francisco, the tormer Chicago outflelder, says that Jimmy Callahan was so fast in his palmy days that it is no wonder that he is able to come back. While he Lange and Callahan. has lost some of his speed, he is still as fast as many of the players in the game now. ONE EFFECTIVE PLAY Hit-and-Run Trick Still Worked Successfuily. With Man on First Batter Attempts to Hit Ball Through Space Left Vacant by Player Taking Throw to Catch Runner. One of the most eftective plays that bas wedged its way into the exclu- 1% circles of baseball is the hit-and- run play. As a rule, this performance is nego- Hated when, with a runner on the paths, a pitcher gets himself into a hole by glving the batter three and two. Invariably, the only exceptk)n be- Ing when a gded pinch hitter, such as Hans Wagner of Pittsburg is at bat d with runners on, the safest move to give the big fellow a free ticket hnd keep his enlarged stick Inactive, B twirler will do his best to slip the | pext ball across the pan. Then it is up to the batter to con- ect, for as the mound worker makes he slightest movement toward the late a part of his motion the runner lligs his spikes and is off for the oth- br and more fruitful regions. The high sign for this play is gen- prally wigwagged when a runmer is on first and the batter has three balls pn him. Then if the next offering 18 Wide of the batter there is no chance pf tossing out the runner at second, for he is advanced on the four balls. It the dellvery is over the plate & connection by the batter probably means something doing. As in all other sports, the funda- mental principle of defense s to preak up effective plays of this cali- ber. Ever since the hit-and-run play broke into the confines of baseball much has been offered in the form of » remedy. But the play is still worked effectively. With & man on first it is bard for Jhe second baseman or the shortstop to determine whether the runner i8 pttempting to pilfer the second pil- Jow or whether the signal for a hit- pnd-run play has been passed. That's Where the hitch comes in, and it is LI:B: this element of uncertainty that made the play a success. The pitcher nine times out of everg ten, realizes that the play is to be at- Jempted, and yet he has got himself Jn a hole and is hopeless to mar ft. He hopes the batter in his anxlety to bit the ball will misjudge it and pwing wildly, or that his teammates P11l rise to the occasion and retire the punner, probably negotlating a double play. But a handful of hope doesn’t go a very long way In a baseball pame of- the present day. When a player attempts to steal pecond a signal is passed between the phortstop and second as to who will lake the throw from the catcher.

DEPENDING ON CURVE BALL Pitchers Cannot Afford to Allow Bat-| ters to Meet Ball as Squarely as They Can Fast Ones. Billy Evans says American league | pltchers are using the curve ball more | this season than in any of the five | seasons he las been a major league umpire. “With the lively ball in use pitch- ers can’'t afford to let batters meet it too well,” Evans said. “They depend | on the curve ball to fool the batter and keep him from meeting the ball | as squarely as he can meet a fast one. | “Batters don’t have to hit a fast; ball very hard this season to get it past the infield. Pitchers are depend- | ing on the curve ball almost entirely when runners are on. “Pltchers are using the curve a good deal more this season when they have three balls and two strikes on the bat- ter. Under these conditions the bat- ter knows the pitcher will try to get the next one over. Pitchers generally have better control of the fast ball and last year could take a chance on having it hit. This year they prefer trying to fool the batter with a curve even at the risk of a base on balls. “In a game I umpired in Boston Ralph Works passed five men rather | than pitch the fast ball with three and | ‘two on batters. The catcher signaled f9r a fast ball each time, but Works shook his head. He took a chance with the curve and could not get it over.” POV ORPOIORPOOOOECD & BASEBALL NOTES. ® POOOOOOOOCOOORP PO Otto Knabe is playing the game of his life. “Pete” Compton, outfielder of the |4 Battle Creek team, was sold to the St. Louis Americans. Capt. Lord was fined $50 for push- ing an umpire. It's all right if one doesn’t push too far: Gene Demontreville is being boomed for manager of-the Memphis team next year to succeed Bill Bern- hard. Herman Schaefer denies he perpe- trated that parrot story on Ping Bodle, but all the circumstantial evidence is against him. Mike Donlin is satisfied with being sent to Boston. It does not make any difference to him and hls salary goes on just the same. Joe. Cantillon and his Millers are heading for the pennant at a pretty steady gait In the American associa tion race. Joe was unable to hold hig men back any longer. Pete Compton, a Battle Creek out- flelder, has been signed by the St, Louls Browns. Pete Browning was a famous hitter. There may be many 2 hit in the name Pete. No “no hit no run” games have been scored this season in the Nation- al league. There has been one in the Amerioan league. Joe- Wood of Bos- ton is credited with that against St. Louls.
