The BuMct Will Be Tried to Plug the Infield Hole Left by Stahl. ‘When the Boston Red Sox take the fleld this summer Jack Thoney, alias The Bullet, may be on first basa, vice Garland Sfahl, now a Chicago banker. When . Stahl gave wup his dfamond career he tossed a small bomb into the camp of the red legs. Substitutes there were not, and President John 1. ;!'abylar decided to train a man for the job. In Jack Thoney, Boston has a play- er who a couple of years ago was con- sidered the fastest man in the busi- news, a great outflelder, phenomenal thrower and heavy hitter. But Thoney was as Drittle as glass and broke in various places from time to time.

Old Timers Claim This Would Improve Present Day Batting. Sevaral old time ball players, among. whom are Pop Anson, Arlie Latham, Johnny Ward, George Gore and Jack Doyle, are behind the plan to move the pitcher up closer, and they insist that hitting would be improved. “The old timers, to a man, agree that the batting would be improved if the pitcher was put nearer the plate, but some of the yaunger set are inclined to disagree with them. Fifteen years ago the, pitcher's box was fifty feet from the plate, and to increase the batting the rules committee moved it back to sixty feet or thereabouts. I stead of increased hitting, the base- ball world found that hitting had been decreased. Notwithstanding that fact, the distance has not been changed for more than a decade. Now some of the old timers are proposing to move the pitcher ten feet nearer the plate. Better Hitters in Old Days. ‘There was an extemporanebus meet- ing held recently at McGraw’s place, and among those who took part in a discussion of the matter were McGraw, Latham, Larry Doyls, Chief Meyers and Harry Sparrow. “The records show that we had bet- ter hitters in the old days than they have now ” said Latham, “and I attrib- ute it entirely to the fact that the pitchers of today have to throw the ball a distance of sixty feet instead of fifty. The old hitters who didn’t con- sider 4t extraordinary to hit .350 in the days gone by would not be able to hit any better today than the present stars. They would not have to hit so much speed, but would ba faced by curved tump for the ummw 3 stumi > vou they admitted that they did belié ot would produce a better man than | tty. s < Then,” said Lathani! with an air of triumph’ in his voice, “why do you laugh when I tell ygu that the game has never produced a better hitter t1 Anson? I tell you if Anson was in th game today ho would hit just as well as any of the modern ball players. -Of course, he would have to get‘onto the new style of curve balls, but with his eyes and strength, he would have as much_chance of solving the pitching question as anybody else.” d Easjer Than Curv “I,don’t think there is any doubt, said George, Gore, “but that the hitting would be improved if the pitcher was moved nearer to. the batter. It is much easier. to_learn to hit speed than curves. If the batter was within fifty feet of the pitcher he could run up and hit the curves before they broke.” “The only thing that would_trouble the old time batters,” added Latham, “would be the slow bail. In'our day the pitchers did not put much faith in a slow bdll. They were afraid to use it. I think the slow ball one of the most effective means of deceiving & batter, and that is one of the things that makes Matty and Miner Brown great pitchers. to throw a slow ball and they get away with it.

Yale defeated Cornall at basketball, 26 to 16, Saturday by fast playing in the second half. Captain Finnessy of Yale made more points alone than the entire Cornell team. Mike (Twin) Sullivan of Boston has issued a challenge to Bob Moha, the Milwaukee welterweight, who Priday night had the Dixie Kid hanging on for dear life to last through the closing rounds of their fight. 2 The presence of Fred Plaisted, the famous sculler, has solved the problem of coaches for-the class crews at the new Yale boathouse, the well known oarsman taking the crews in hand the past week and drilling them.

The Cleveland baseball club has an- nounced the release of four players to the Portland (Ore.) club of the Pacific Coast league: Pitchers Elmer Koestner and F. Bheaden, Inflelder Roger Peck- enpaugh and Catcher Jack Bradley. George Denlea, the Pittsburg boxer, who collapsed after drinking a large quantity of ice water following his bout with Jake Abel Tuesday night, is still balls.” There is no question in my mind but that the pitching is better today than it was fifteen years ago. The pitchers have more chance to de- velop curves. The peculiar breaks and shoots that fool batters at a distance of sixty feet would be of little effect at fifty feet. Rusie One of Few Curves. “In the old days.” went on Latham, ,'such batters as Dan Brouthers, Pop Anson and George Gore hit at speed, and nothing else. Among the. few pitchers who could make a ball break fast at the plate in those days was Amos Rusie, and he was a bear. In ad- dition to his spead, he had that quick breaking curve, and that is what made him a great pitcher. John Clarkson ‘was another.” “Well, do you think that the ball players of that day were as good as those of today?” asked Chief Meyers. “Certainly they wers,” replied La- tham, *but they had to fade a dif- ferent kind of pitching. I dom’t think there was ever a pitcher who knew as much about the art as Mathewson, and in answer to you fellows who Jaugh at us about what we did twenty vears ago I want to ask you: Do you think that in twenty-five years from - FINANGIAL AND COMMERCIAL TRADING WAS DULL.

The Northampton club will in ali probability get Catcher Monahan from the Binghamton chub of the New York Stato leagte for Steamer Flamagan. Outfielder Elmer Zacher has actually forwarded his signed contract to the Chattancoga club of the Southern league, gccording to a despatch from that town. 7 President Stein of the Buffalo club says his team has been strengthened | in all departments.

Ernie Lush, the Bridgeport boy who played first base for a few days with Hartford last seeson, is going to take his annual trip te the south this year, The New York Natiomals have agreed to give him another chance. Mike Doherty, the former Waterbury pliot wio managed the Plttsfield club last season, is amxious to hook on with some team this coming season. His letter to the Pittsfield club asking for a Te-engagement came too late, as Jim Garry had already been signed up. Gutfielder Cagett, the player who started last season with New Bedford and later went to Newv Britain,hasbeen signed by the Utica club of the New York Sfate league.
