The race, over a distance of one and one-half miles, 29 yards, carried stakes valued at nearly $60,000, J. Childs had the leg up on the winner. Lord Derby's Colorado, at 2 to 1 ag: started the hottest favorite the derby has known for many years. He is reported to have carried nearly $10,000,000 of backers’ money, as he had been generally picked by the ex- perts as a-sure winner. The race was run in a pouring rain, and the. stoing was heavy, which may have had something to do with up- setting the forecast of the experts.

It is most sur- prising the breaks ccrtain pitchers can get on the ball through the use of perfectly legitimate methods, Ihave never umpired an overhand gitcher who couldn't sail his fast ball. While the opposition invari ably alleges trickery, the result is achieved honestly through the man- ner of delivery. : When it came actually to doctor ing the ball I never saw a pitch: in all my career who could make jt take such uncanny dips as Eddie Ci- cotte. While I was in Philadelphia re- cently “Kid” Gleason dropped into the dressing room for a chat and we discussed Cicotte, i “There never was, or will Ge, any- bédy like Cicotte,” said Gleason. “Why, he could almost make the ball ive him some heavy oil on his glove and permit him to soil this hands and he would soon have in play a ball that would answer his, every wish. “I have seen ihim pitch fast balls all day to a team noted for its siug- ging ability and make them look like suckers. “Cicotte was a magician as well as a pitcher.” ra Low-Ball Favored That pitching styles and methods run in és can be proved by the change from the high to the low ball. Twenty years ago the high ball, gino pun meant, was highly favored. Today a majority of the big league pitchers consider the low ball the hardest to hit. Pitchers of the old school, twirlers f\e Cy Young type, used thes high ball perhaps 75 per cent of the time. They kept inside and letter high. I am positive the spitball delivery had much to do with the popularity the low ball now enjoys. The spitball, to be effective, must be broken low, which makes the bat- ter top the ball most of the time of ired by his, twirlers who didn’t use the moist delivery went to the low bal o that it is now the most-pitched ball in the game. ee, 2 | The Referee - 1 What was the result of the cham- nship match between Max Mar- n and Jess Sweetser for ‘the na- ur golf tithe in PF.
