' Not one pitcher in 100 knows how he is pitching or realizes when he changes his delivery. Johnson changed his de- livery about two years ago. 'He did it partly because he was studying when Dad Clarke used to call “a new sys- tem of slants.” Griffith, Johnson's manager, is one of the greatest teach- ers of pitching and was trying to teach Johnson to pitch with less strain on the arm. Griff was accused of at- tempting to teach Johnson to pitch. This 1s not true. Johnson did not get the knack of Griff's idea, and he per- haps strained his arm more than he would have done. It was the effort to get a change of pace without a change of motion that temporarily destroyed his effectiveness. Johnson decided to cut out all frills and pitch his old “smoke ball'{ as he always had done. The effect was in- stantaneous. In the first game he used his speed and fast curve alone and opposing batters returned to the bench with the sad tidings that the great Walter was himself again, 40 47 48 1] 58 66 .540 .530 .495 .398 .385 (333 Chicago ‘Washington New York St. Louis .

Judging from their April, May and June start each season, it might be suggested that “‘None but the Braves deserve to lag.” And then, again, it might not, depending on how you feel about it. Judging from the wgy George Etovall, Lee Magee and others have employed their hoofs in attacking Federal league arbitrators, it might also be observed that in this circuit the umpires are more shinned against than shinning. But this, also, is not strictly © compulsory. You are at liberty to employ your own judgment. Just a Word to the Braves. No club in baseball has ever shown rarer courage or more enduring faith in the shadow of defeat than George Stallings’ Braves. No club has ever rallied from such depths two years in succession to \[ 1aunch a drive against tne top. No other club has gone as grimly to the task of rebuilding its shattered fortunes. And probably no other club, un- i less it was the old Oriotes, has ever gone as far toward rough-riding um- vires and opposing players as the line- up now under discussion. The Braves have gone beyond any fair limit in this last respect, and the umpires of President Tener's circuit should see that such tactics are curbed at once. We happen to know, from first hand, a few chosen expressions which certain Braves have fired at op- posing players in the way of goat- getting artillery. And this system of warfare has no port in ctean baseball. rain. At Troy-—Troy-Scranton, rain. At Utica—Binghampton 6; Uutica 1.

Maxims of the 16th Hole, He who Pivoteth Properly at the Hip and knoweth the joy of the Fcllow Through shall hold a place of honor in the tribe, But it .is better to dwell with a brawling woman in a narrow house than to joust with one who useth the pencil above all (other ctubs in the making of his scote. About Evers. The value of Cobb, Collins and others can be understood. Cobb is batting .400. Collins is batting around .330, fielding brilliantly and stealing many bases. But the case of Evers is the most remarkable in baseball. Here is a ball player rated of untold value to his clan, yet he is batting under .265, has stolen comparatively few bases and carries a fielding average of only nor- mal worth. This abiding value of ivers, minus any unusuar physical trilliance, is final evidence of his un- surpassed mentality and magnetism. For he is a great ball player where with the same physical records the average human would be only a; filler-in. The case of Evers recalls, in a man- ner, that of a certain second baseman who once toiled for Comiskey. “How good is this fellow at second ?” a friend once asked the Old Roman. “He can’t hit,” replied Commy; ‘‘he {sn't much on an infielder; he is slow and has a weak arm. But he is one of the greatest ball players 1 ever saw.” As much depends on the shape of the head as upon the batting eye, the salary whip or the hoof. Tigers vs, Red Sox, Ty Cobb, discussing the Tigers' chance against the Red Sox a few days | ago, arranged the dope in this order: “We have beeen plaving the steadi- est, the most consistent ball of any club in the race since April. We have been merely moving along just a skade above .600. We are still due for a winning streak. and if a certain pair of pitchers come to the help of Coveleskie, Dauss and Dubuc we’'ll get that streak and win. If they don't, Boston will win and we will finish second.” If the Braves win aga:n this season their triumph will be even more un- usual than the victory of last year. T'or last year the Braves had in Bill James a pitcher able to win twenty- geven battles. This season James has won only five games and has con- cluded his work for the campaign. So here is a deficit of twenty-two vic- | haif | finish tories contributed by one man that Stallings and his men were forced to make up in other ways. The wonder is that with over a thira of his main pitching stiff rendered unnt the Brave pilot was able to make nis latest ad- ‘ance. The Greatest. Dear Sir: Ouimet have been greatest putters in the game. as the two 1 hap- ratea lened to have played against both— and also against Travis. 4And I hap- pened to have watched all three in many of their leading matches. And you can accept the testimony as direct that for general consistency, for dead- liness year in and year out, for un- canny sureness almost without a hreak from the edge of the green to within easy striking distance of the cup, Walter J. Travis with the putter ie king of them all. As : master of this one club from every possible dis- tance the game has ncver seen his equal. OUTSIDER. Travis is undoubtedly greater than either at the art of putting his long approach putts dead tu the cup. In the way of holding out the ten, twelve and fifteen footers there 1s little choice. Taking the Teutonic Tip, Commander Patrick aioran of the Phillies was never trained 1In any German war school, but he seems to know a fairly efficient system when he meets in the road. Using the German scheme, Moran drove his Phillies forwarq at terrific speed ‘for the first two weeks, ocupied a large strip ot atien territory, and then began digging in. Since the first of May the Phillies haven't won their games. They have been drifting a few points beneath a .500 rer cent. But that war first drive was sufficient, considerable blast- & to blow them out of the leading renches. It isn’t impossible that they 500 clip for the rest of the way and still in first place through having had the keen discernment to jump in and bag eleven of the first® twelve | games played.
