FIFTEEN INNINGS AT TAF Home Team Wod by Batting Rally 5-4—Pitchers Battle | Hulit Between Simino_and Wilcox—Athletics Win at St. '--i"'fi’:' Louis—Mew Connecticut Golf Champion. One of tHe greatest games in the history of baseball in Taftyille was played cn Satvpday when the home boys faced the fTast combination from Moosup known as the Grays. It was a pitchers® battle, fought with spirit all the way throu zh. Wilcox of M [ystic was on the firing line for the ‘risitors, while Semino looked after tlie locals’ siab duty. Moo- sup started th e scoring in the first inn- ing when, with one down, Brundson singled and came home on Wood's double. They scored two more in the fourth on Williams' _single, Onley’s rap, Hoefer was hit by a pitched bail, and whon Simono hit to second for a play, F.oefer's clever work of drawing Robide-u from the base enabled Houl- ihan tr, score. An error by McKenna and M arphy’s single scored one in the eighth . Hits by Kane, Houlihan and Hoefe r and Kane's clever base run- ning 'tied the score in the mninth. 'Timely Hitting in Fifteenth. It looked blue for Taftville in the 15th with two down and no one on basis. But Dugas singled and reached seccond on an error, scoring on Houli- har’s deuble. Houlhan was in turn serit home on Hoefer's double. Fea- tuices of the game were contributed by Drizas at third, who accepted fifteen ch ances witnout an error, one of which Wias a fancy stop with his bare hand. K mne’s work on the bases was clever and the pitching of Wilcox and Simino gave the fans something to talk about, Taftville having strengthened their James T. Brady Charles A.

New York, July 15.—The stock mar- ket stagnation gave no indication of ending today, total transactions being only 53,260 shares, the dullest Satur- day’s business since May 7, 1904, wheh the total was 40,732 shares. At that the day’s business was on a larger scale than that of Friday, when in the five hours of trading only 82,300 sShares changed hands. Commission houses were deserted, and the trading was almost exclusively in the hands of the professionals, Whose scanty op- portunity of making profits from one another was shown by the narrowness of the price range. Sales of Steel common, the most active issue, were nearly twice as large as on the preceding day, but all 6f the transactions were at 78 7-8 or 79, the stook closing at the latter figure, un- changed from Friday. The strongest stook on the list' was Texas company, | which, on the reports of negotiations for acquiring the Pearson oil inter- ests in Mexico and on more encourag- ing advices regarding the confl!on of John W. Gats, gainew 2 3-8 ‘Doints, with small trajsictions. The general list maintained a steady tone and clos- ed with more net gains shown than net losses, although the changes were in only three issues as large as 1 per cent. The crop news was conflicting, and both wheat and corn declined in price in the early trading in the grain mar- kets, rallying toward theclose on fresh reports of unfhvorabie weather condi- tions, while cotton futures after con- siderable fluctuation, closed slightly under the preceding day except Au- gust.

Famous Pitcher Gives.a Few Pointers on How to Become a Great Twirler. 0ld Cy Young is much peeved over the report that the Cleveland club had asked waivers on him. But President Somers of the Cleveland club denies that he ever asked wafvers on him. While Cy has been slipping back for the past few vears! there is no chance of his ever playing in the minor Jeagues, as he is well fixed financiall | Asked to what he attributed his suc cess and endurance the grand old man of baseball said: “First, I had a good, free pitching motion. I got my body into my swing and saved my arm. Many pitchers make their arms do too much work. They do not draw back the body with the back swing, nor let it go forward with the delivery. They hold the body stiff and use only the arm. “As for training the apm, every man should know what suits him best, but I go slow with my throwing. I fool month of Six weeks before cutting loose, as the players call using speed. I do not believe in too much pitching, especially in the spring, though I ha wlways been a spring and fall pitcher, and like cold weather better than most men. Not that cold weather is good for v arm, but heat affects my strength. ‘do not pitch good ball in hot weath- er, though my arm always feels best then. This proves my contention that strength of body is indispensable to a pitcher. “I +have pitched longer in fast com- pany than any other man. I think that 1 was blessed with naturally supple nruscles and a free delivery. Then I used as few curves as i could. For vears I relied mostly on a fast,straight ball that jumped—that is, shot up a little as it passed the batter. For the past seven years this ball has not been so good twith me. My speed has not been so great. 1 took to using curves about six seasons ago. Once 1in a while T use a spitball. T have | never used the many hard and tryving curves, the drops, fadeaways and oth- er balls that are hard on the arm. I have been fairly lucky in always hav- ing a good club behind me, and I have always relied upon the other eight men in the game. I have never tried to strike out a man in_my life. I pitch him the best ball I know how and trust to my fielders. He ma strike ‘out, but to make him do.so is never part of my plan. “I have never rank as a foxy pitch- er or a man who studied batters. 1 | do not rely much on tricks or strat- | egem, but I do rely upon large general policies of pltching. 1 have believed in wasting few balls. T use speed and curve, and change of pace as the sit- uation may dictate, and 1 do try to avoid giving a batter balls he likes. But, on the whole, I am_conservative. | T believe in the good old way, good speed, good control and pitch to the batter. Make him hit it. There are along and toss and throw a little for a | nine of us to_get him if he does hit & ball, fair or foul. Of course, when I have my fast ball | jumping 1 don't care where 1 put |50 I get him to hit at it. § would as | soon "pitch to a batter's strong point las to his weak one when the fast bail |is shooting right. Any good pitcher with a fast ball that shoots up, wiii | tell you the same thnig. But often { when you have speed and control it | won't shoot, though you can’t teli wh and often when it shoots better tharn it ever shot before, you can't control it. Loss of form, I call it. You may think you are pitching perfectiy, ®u ou are not. You must miss some- | thing that spoils the jump for you, and you can’'t tell what it is. may be the last touch of the tip of your | finger, but you can't tell. Again, when your speed is mot keen, it will met jump, and anon you can't control or Zet it over. Many a pitcher has lost a gams simply because he could not control his first ball when in a hole. Thev could not hit it, but it would #88 I be over. | “To the youngster who wishes 2 My | life in baseball, I would say: Fi beer and tobacco. Walk and run ty. Get good throwing and _fieling and batting motions by watching ap proved masters at the work. You must suit your own physique, but take pat- | tern after the man wko most clo@siy | approaches you in build and action | First follow Natpre. If you are a free hitter , no use copying some efre- ful hitter. 'Pick a man who iz a fres hitter and a good one, and copy Rim. All good batters come pretty neaf 1o | standing alike, all good pitchers hRve much the same motion, a free u swing; aal good men on ground get at them pretty much alike; @il good throwers throw pretty mucl in the same There will be slight ! variance due to temperament snd te structure, but the grand underiying principle is the same.” BASE HITS.
