Me- Graw is pinning his to Fred Toney, Jess Barnes and Rube Benton, while Kid Gleason's aces are Eddie Clecotte, Urban Jaber and Claude Willams. The Giant's leader also has il Causey, Jean Dubu¢ and Poll Perritt to help the lig three, but they are by mo means reliable. The White Sox also are carrying Schellen- back, Danforth, Kerr and a semi-pro named Sullivan to be used now and then when Gleason's regulars need a [rest or in the evenit of a surfeut of double headers. But the New York and Chicago teams, unless new box- men of first-rate quality can be ob- tained, must each get along with three regular hurlers. Mickey Welch, once 8 star pitcher for the Giants back in 1888 and 188¢ when the National league schedule was limited to 124 games.deciared the other day that with 140 games to be played by each of the big circuits this season the pennant could be won by a team relying on three or fogs good pitchers. Welsh pitched 47 games in 1888 and 41 in 1880. The giants' other boxmwan in 1888 were Keefe, who wie used in 22. In 1889 Keefe pitched 41 games. Ned Crane 28 and Hank O'Day 28.

He always has argued that three or four cap- able pitchers, worked regularly, can produce belter ts than seven or eight, some of whom must lose their effectiveness ag a result of Jmaclivity Gleason learged the intrfcacies of baseball ds a member of the Balti more Orioles, minsged by Edward Hanlon, more than twenty years ago The Orioles who won the pennant in 1854, 1805 and 1896, never carried more than five pitchers, McMahon, Hawke and Riper were thé boxmeén in 1894, Hoffer, Me Mahon, Hémming, Esper and Arthur kson did the wor in 1805, while in 1896 Hanlon's Strategists were Hoftéer, Esper, Pond, McMahon and Hemming, Gleason, therefore, is try- ing to take a leaf out of Hanlon's | book.

Spalding pit- chéd the 60 games for the Chicagos in 1876 ha théy finished oft top, playing 68 contests.
