Iron Man McGinnity Would Lower the Pitsher’s Box to Level of Diamond. Tron Man Joa McGinnity and Eagle ve Juke Beckley, both of whom ought to know considerable about the work- ings of the mever ending conflict be- | tween the pitcher and the batter, have widely different ideas as to what should be done to increase batting. McGinniety is of the opinion that the pitcher's mound is doomed and that hereafter the twirler must be on the leval with the batter. He also thinks that pltching distance should be de- | creased to fifty feet from the box to the home plate. Beckley claims that to reduca the pitching “distance would make hitting more difficult than it is today. “With the short distance,” says Eagle Eye, wing them over 0 that the batter will nev- er sce the ball” MeGinniey has radical views on the subject. He thinks the game is a case of “too much pitcher.” Being a man- ager, the Iron Man appreciates tho troubles of the batsman. He says on| ‘the subject: anow is a ome man's game. A r gets good pitchers and bullds the teem up around the filnger. The idea is to get a twirler in the box who can keep the opposing team from scoring many runs and try to make more off the man performing in the box for the other fellows. “By putting the box on a level with the rest of the diamo:d the twirlers— that is, most of them—would find it harder to fool the batters. Underhand to Throw Giant Pole in 9) Minutes - of Wrestling, - twirlers would like to help them in their work. crease hitting. In further away from the plate the bas ball rulers only handicaped the slug- batter. It is easily figured out that out when the pitcher is near the plate. “Tale, for instance, a few vears azo. when the twirler stood only fo feet from the man at bat. Look at the hittiug that was done iIn those day The pitchers probably didw't have as meny earves, but they had speed, and there were not near as many strike- outs. “Nowadays the batter gets his eve on that ball too quick. When th sphere comes up to him he is unable to do himself justice. I talked this matter over with the rules committee a few years ago and suggested at that time that the pitching distance be made fifty feet from the home plate. I blieved then, and am of . the same opinion now, that such a change would increase batting all around.” NATIONAL LEAGUE ROSTER. Who the Managers hiave for Spring Training. In two' weeks' time the National league teams will begin pouring some- fhing like $150,000 into the strong boxes of southern railroads and hotels. Fully 250 athletes who hope to ca- vort on the grounds of the National circult this season will be looked over by keen-eyed managers with hopes of finding timber of championship form. Holdouts are very fow this vear and the different clubs expect every man on their rosters to be in line when the journeys to the south afe expected to begin. Manager McGraw will have 34 men at Marlin Springs, Tex., by March 1, and Manager Dahlen of the Dodgers expéets to have 30 ball tossers at the Hot Springs, Ark. by that time, in case John FHummel, Brooklyn's only holdout, gets in line, The Phillies had 39 men on their reserve list. Pitts- burg's roster includes 37 men and there are 36 on the list of the Chicago Cubs. It does not require secondsight foretell that opens on April 12 many of the aspir- ing youngsters will be sent back to the minor leaguge for further season- ng.

The improvement was as- aisted by the ehanged tochnical condi- tion of the market, short interests an- paseatly baving been extended largely, on_the recent reaction. S The nonchalance with which the street accepted the purchase of a large block of Atohison bonds, partly for foreign account, and the continued ease of money at the world's prineipal mon- atary e weemed to mpeak weil for the outcome of megottations for impor- tant financing now proceeding at home and abroad. ~Banl interests which are identified with e negotiations are credited with the disposition to do what they can to prevent pronounced recessions on the stock market pending the consummatioa ef these negotia- tions. ‘Whatever effect maintenance of the Benk of England’s dlseount rate at 4 1-2 per cent. had on the etock mar- ket was peesing as with the issuance of the weekly statement it was seen hat the directors’ decision to make no flectod expeetations of a favorable monthly etatoment tomorrow, when a report of & Jarge imoreuse in unfilled orders is looked for.

Addie Joss Learms a Lesson—Walter Johnson Cujtivates Floaters Agdie Joss is sorry he aldm't thinie | until his arm began to feel the effects .of overwork that a pitcher canmot go on forever. Untfi a couple of years i ugo Addie never used o slow ball, Het didn’'t get tired, and his fast ball an curve had the batters guessing. Las season Addie didn’t -use his fast ball until he had to, and he will take 16 5004 and easy until he is in a hols in every game he pitches. “I see the mistake now of letfing out all the time,” said Addie ast Season. I am sasitsfied I shartened my eareer three or four years by using mething but speed. Addie’s mistake, a e tew years ago, jen’t belng | many pitchers. Walter johnson gtart- od that way. The Idaho wonder put all he had on every ball untfl Jim ITvAleer became manager of the Na- tionals. Jim_ suggested and then in- sisted that Johnson develop a slow ball. Johnson, like Joss, didnt sea the need of a floaater when his speed stood the batters on their heads and it didn’t wear him down to use it all the time. “You won't be a zood pitcher wntil ou have a slow ball,” said McAleer. “When you are hit hard vou haven™ anything new to give the batters, A team that solves your speed has you beaten.” That set Johnsson to thinking. He had a pretty fair slow ball at the end of the season, 1 Jacik Coombs, the Athletic star, | iy should last for yeirs. He uses his; = speed and drop curve only when he & has to. Coombs Jooks Itke an ordi pitcher until he gets into a hole, then be is a wonder. He always has his best stuff. Children C 1:y FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA 1 o) v
