The Detroit | club was sitting on the bench discuss- | | ing pitchers and watching Sam Jones | warm up. He was scheduled to go against the Tygers that afternoon. It was a nice compliment that Cobb paid | him. 808l | A few weeks later Jones certainly made good the praise that Cobb had! heaped upon him by pitching a no-hit ! rfame against the Athletics. In the| world series between the Giants and the Yankees dast year Jones pitched a | four-hit classic, despite the fact that he suffered a 1 to 0 defeat. Casey, Stengel's homer into the right fi(ld' { bleachers decided the issue. i A change of pace is the greatest as- st @ piteher can possibly have in| these days of the lively ball and the slashawa tactics, Control and a| change of pace cover a multitude of | pitching sins. LR Only last summer Walter Johnson | remarked that the one real mistakn‘ be made in his pitching career was| the failure to develop a slow ball d it Johnson, during the early years| of his career, depended entirely on his terrific speed, Not until he found his fast one losing some of its “zip” did | he go in for a slow ball.

Natlonal league, is an example of the | handicap a pitcher works under who is minus a good slow ball, | . e Vance has great speed, and is a| corking pitcher, but he would be far | kreater with a slow ball in his reper- toire ast season Vance not only led the National league in strikeouts, but | | also in consccutive wins, with 10 to| his ecredit, He scored 18 victories| | during the season, but his mark would have been closer to 25 had he been the possessor of a slew ball, ¥ & A piteher with terrific speed llke Vance must have something different to offer when the opposition starts hitting his apeed. At such a time a| slow ball is the very best weapon. | Lack of it alone keeps Vance from the dizay hrlghh of plbchln: stardom.

Decldes to Step Out as Athletic Director : Middletown, Jan. 20.-—Dr. Edgar Tauver, head of the department of physical. education at Weslevan uni- versity, has resigned and his action will come before the board of trustees of the university at a meeting to be held in New York tomorrow after- noor. The resignation will be re- ferred, it is expected to the commit- tee of the board. Acting President Leroy A. How- land this afternoon said of th resignation of Dr. Edgar Fauver u} head of the department of physical education, It will be transmitted to the ecutive committee of the board of trustees at its regular meeting to be held in New York on the afternoon Until the resignation can be presented to the trustees' committee and they shall have taken action, no more detailed statement can be made. It is hoped that a solution of any difficulty may be found.” Dr. Fauver has been in full charge of athetics at Wesleyan since 1911, He had been identified with physical training in various educational insti- | tutions since 1899 when he was di- rector in this branch of activities at Center University, Kentucky, and later at Oberlin and Columbia on ath- !letic work. Some time ago it was understood | that many Wesleyan younger alumni | were not in agreement with Dr. Fauver's courses, and methods in the physical education department and there had been dissatisfaction for several years over Wesleyah showing in all branches of sports, Tt is said eral years has favored separate coach- ing in the several branches of ath- letics and they were supported by the younger alumni, Dr, Fauver, how- ever, according to alumni bas advo- cated centralized control and even faculty control of athletics, The merits of the two systems—separate coaching in the major sports or the present departmental control—-have been long discussed and the action of | Dr. Fauver is expected to bring the controversy before the trustees official review. for DULUTH DEFEATED Eveleth, Minn,, Jan. 20.—In a fast and hard fought contest, Eveleth de- feated Duluth here last night, 5 to 3, |in the western group of the United States amateur hockey league.
