BAGOT AND QUEEN. nm Says New Pitching Rules Ma --+« Weren't Clever--Just Contrary to the belief obtaining among most pitchers, Walter John- son, for twelve years one of the greatest hurlers the game has 'known, is of the opinien that hitting and not pitching is the paramount issue in baseball. He believes that the fans want to see hitting. This in spite of the fact that he has made himself famous and has earned a big salary for checking hitting. While recently discussing the in- creased hitting this year Johnson sald: "There has been an unusual amount of hitting this season, but it is not solely because pitchers can't roughen the ball and discolor it. I think the principal item that threw the balance in favor of the batter was the cold, late spring. A spring such as we had this year holds .up the development of a pitcher's arm, and it does not attain its normal effectiveness until long after the opening of the season. With this condition prevailing the batters had comparatively mediocre pitching to face, and their ringing hits followed. "Then there was a lively ball at the start of the season. No one ever actually announced it ,but it is the truth. The outfielders were playing cut against the fences for mediocre hitters and every one was hitting the ball hard. I think that the live- ly ball has been withdrawn from play now, but there is no doubt in my mind that it was used earlier in the season. That is not my opin- ion alone; it is the opinion of most of the players in the league. i "Then the rules against roughen- ing the ball or discoloring it have go this summer. - as me Phonograph @ here and enjoy it more. kinds of FISHING TACKLE, BASEBALL us prompt in shipping goods they may | Baseball Briefs John McGraw. has started to re- build the Giants.

A scholoboy ean pitch effectively against a major league club if he is permitted to slash the ball to suit his fancy. It is mext to impossible to hit a ball that has been 'scuffed' When it is thrown with great speed. Now, when a ball 'sails' it "is {m- mediately withdrawn from play. It brings in a new ball constantly and helps the game, "There 1s no use denying that it is hard to curve a new ball. But hit- ting is the thing in baseball. In fact, it leads to all the baseball there is, In a1to0or2tol game you see two pitchers ,and possibly some nice fielding, In an 8 to 6 game everything that baseball holds is dis- played. Thére is hitting, fielding, base-running, pitching and an inside play or two. Where the advantage is constantly shifting the interest in the game is maintained, and such 4 contest is one that holds it. "By a great deal' of hitting I do not mean a game in 'which the score Is 10 to 3 or has some such one- sided result. Then, of course, inter- est is lost 'unless the home team is winning. But where the advantage changes hands several times and not more than two or three runs separate t teams, I believe the public pre- fers the hitting much more. "Take the individual hitters, for instance. 'Babe' Ruth draws more people than a great pitcher does. It simply illustrates the theory that hitting is the paramount issue of baseball and that the public wants to see it." has been taken on by the St. Louis Cardinals for trial. - Within a few days of each other Christy Mathewson and Mordecal Brown, great pitehing rivals of olden days, quit baseball.

The .Posties, comprised of several gentlemen from the post office and Joe Daly, put itiall over the Movies on Tuesday evening when they tal- lied ten rums to the five of the Mov- ie Stars. T¢ say that the game was fast would be a lie and what is the use telling a lie when you don't Lave to. It was pretty slow, espec- ally in the Movie side of the out- fit. They seemed to be afflicted with infantile paralysis as wall as dumbness. One of the members even |, went so far as to have noscular gb- stritis and how coyld a bunch of fellows play ball with all those ail- ment. Nevertheless they worked a little in spots.) Quinn, in the box for them, threw too good ball for the support he had. When he tired watching errors he usually struck out the opposing side to get rid of hem, The Posties have gathered all the old has-beens, comebacks, used-to- bes and such of the last thirty years together and mixed them up with a few horseshoes and half a pound of horse-sense, and as a result they win most of their games.
