No longer can the twirl- er with blinding speed alone make the grade in the majors. Not so many years ago speed was considered the greatest asset of a suecessful pitcher. Speed is stilt to be desired, but is no longer the dominating factor in a pitcher's au THE BOYS DONT, “LIKE To SOP PLAYING BY BILLY EVANS Andy Smith, of the University of Californ 1s strong for baseball as the gridiron sport, Recently while umpiring ‘amous football coach at Phila- I bumped into Smith before Andy w: e role of s eta curious to see how th ere winning so many bali games, A delphians just like Smith, 5 Mack’ is j out to Shih for themselves, — Curious folks have made big business for Connie Mack this 5 The Athleties won the day t mous football, mentor was Ie H nd was beaten in in which Macks team nm behind to win, has a close student of snort. reason why he has been is a footba delphi the ing ark to get came fr an ans Thi So success him there is Have After the to get his Mack’s young game T looked up Andy version Connie club, bver- on, is almos? is iovelga when they are getting the fast ball past the batters, but when the opposition starts to time the speeed ball they are in trouble. The reason—they have nothing in reserve to offfer. _A pitcher who depends almost en- rely on speed for success is de- diy up against it at present un- less he develops a change of pace. A change of * enables a pitcher to ry his style. If a batsman feels that n out of every ten balls pitched will be fast ones, he can adopt a stance at the plate that will work to his advantage. A pitcher who has a change of e ean offset this ad- vantage by mixing them up, thereby upsetting the batter who has his mind set on speed. A majority of the pitchers who are having great success this year are twirlers who have a varied assort- ment of stuff, in which the use of the fast ball plays only a very minor part. The knuckle ball, the floater, the fadeway and the half speed ball are just a few additions to the old style fast ball and curve, Rolly Naylor, who is going great for the Athletics, is a shining ex- ample of the truth I have expounded. When Naylor-came to the Athletics he boasted a great fast ball and a good curve, Yet for a number of. years he met with only ordinary suc- cess. Naylor worked constantly to increase his stuff. He finally per- fected a good change of pace, a slow curve and a half speed ball. T have seen Naylor. win ball games this year in which he didn’t throw a dozen fast balls, yet at one time that was his stock in trade. It is nice to liave a fast ball that a pitcher can shoct acros’ every now and then to let the batsman know he still has one. Yet to be a big winner, the modern pitcher-must have far more than a mere fast ball. As‘a matter of fact the fast ball these days is more or less used as a threat. i Dancing every night. terson Farm Pavilion. Kenzie Orchestra. Pat- Me- suceess, 3 : tae Why the change?

Regardless of whether there was any intent on the part of Cobb, the Athletics so regarded the incidents and a bitter feeling existed between the clubs. Philadelphia fans beeame so heat- ed up, over the matter that Cobb was threatcned with bodily harm when he appeared in that city. In a number of series Cobb was under police protection in order to avert trouble. While nothing serious ever came of the affair, Cobb spent many unpleasant hours in the Quaker City. In the recent series’ between Phila- delphia and Detroit Cobb was thrown out at third base. In attempting to f n mak-] w avoid the touch he came into the base very high. Riconda, who: han- dled the throw, was cut on the arm, The story is that Riconda ‘ex. pressed Himself very strongly. Cobb, on getting to his feet, brushed against the Athletic third baseman. In so doing he stepped on Riconda’s left foot ch a way as to twice cut the visiting player. Serious trouble was narrowly averted by the timely interference of players and pires. Cobb's actions, whether inten- tional or merely accidental, have again stirred up the old feud that for yehrs made every meeting be- tween the two clubs a hectic. strug- gle. Mack’s men openly assert they intend to make trouble. We shall see. A number of players have threatened to get Cobb, byt so far their efforts have been confined en- tirely to conversation. The fact that Cobb is an outfielder makes him almost immune from in- jury. An infielder is always in dan- ger, but it is rather hard to make the going unpleasant for an outfielder. If the Athletics are to make trouble for Cobb it looks as if they would be forced to seek a battle ground other than the ball field. ‘Failure of Rommel to Win Hurts Athletics By NEA Service Philadelphia, July 17.—“tt malt Rommel had shown the form this year that he did last season the Athletics would just about be out in front,” opined Connie Mack. “Rommel was the one pitcher on my staff that I banked on at the start, yet he has been the least con- sistent performer. ‘Naylor, who re- cently suffered a sethack because of a wrenched knee, has supplinted Tommel as my ace for the time be- ‘ing at least. A return to winning form by Rommel is necessary if we arc to stay up in the race.” The disappointing showing of Rommel this season‘is all the more Curves Sure Curved His Arm atallaing slow bell sen rt of unusual because of the big year he hadein 1922, Last year Rommel won 27 games with a seventh place club.

For Reichle, a graduate of the Um- versity of Ilinois, has come through with a vengeance. A heavy hitter, and an exceptionally clever man in a pinch, the former college star has done yeoman service for the Chance entourage in its efforts to keep out of the cellar position. That he swings a mean stick is shown by the fact that he is massag- ing the apple around the .375 mark, being right up along with the lead- ers. But it isn’t only at the plate that Reichle stars, for be it known @ that Ke is a pretty, nifty fielder as well; gets over the territory fast, Is a sure shot on fly balls and packs a rifle-like arm. Reichle .comés from the same school that has turned out quite a cluster of major league celebreties, two of the most famous, perhaps, being Garland | (Jake) Stahl, old Washington anid” Boston ‘American Beague- plaYer and manager, and Carl Lundgren, who pitched for the Cubs back in the days when “Peer- less” Chance was. grabbing pennants and world’s’ championships with ‘reckless abandon, Unless all predictions prove very wrong, Reichle has a most promising future in the diamend pastime, roke as penalty. If the ball driven out of bounds was played from the tee, the player has the right to tee his second ball. If the ball’ was played from any place other than the tee, he must drop the second ball. i scate What was.

The first baseman and catcher elected to make a play on the ball. The first bas. man kept yelling he would take it and the catcher finally decided to allow him to make the play. Standing near the home plate was the next batter up, swinging two or three bats. While the ball was in the air, he threw in the direction of his bench two of the bats. One hit the first baseman as he was about to catch the ball, causing hims to make a bad muff. At the time of throwing ° ‘the bats” the batsman had his back to the play and insisted he had no intention or strining the fielder. What about the play? THE INTERPRETATION The fielder always has the right whether an fair or foul territory. While there probably was no in- tent on the part of the batsman to interfere with the fielder, he so did when his bat came into contact with the first baseman about to make the catch. The @mpire was right in declaring the batsman out,-even though the ball was muffed. BISMARCK AND VALLEY TIE Valley City, N.
