He fielded his position nicely but his outfield let several balls get away from them which proved very costly.

BELLEVILLE TRIMMED MOTOR TOWN'S CROWD Finished Up First Section With a Flourish and Near- ly Caught Kingston. (Special to the Whig.) Oshawa,.June 28.--Belleville took the second straight game from Oshawa in two days here this after- roon when they defeated the locals 5 to 3 in a rather listless exhibition. Oulette, the Belleville hurler, after holding Oshawa to.three puny hits yesterday in Belleville again took the mound to-day, and the best the Oshawa sluggers could do. was. to collect fivé more clouts, three of which came in the seventh and were good for as many runs. Belleville wag leading 3-0 when the local rally started and, beginning the eighth, the score was tied. Two hits in a row, Incliding a three bagger by Ouellete in this frame, coupled with a base on balls, netted the visitors two more, and this was plenty to win. Webster, the second string Osha- wa hurler, was used to-day, and did fairly well, only allowing seven hits, but his support was decidedly wob- bly, four costly miscues being charg- ed against the locals. + Rain stopped 'the game for twenty minutes, and a drizzle fell during most of the ericounter which was wit- nessed by the smallest crowd of the season,' The teams: ~ Bellevilie--Rodss, 'cf; Weir, ss; W.

ALEXANDER Famous Pitcher, Cubs. The successful pitcher combines the head with the arm. "The pitcher who has every natural ability, but doesn't use his head, can't hope to get very far. The great batters are constantly trying to outmaneuver the pitcher. The only weapon the pitcher has is to play their game, try to outguess them, The pitcher with a good arm should seek to conserve it. In the spring he should gradually work it into shape. Go slow on spring en- thusiasm, save the old arm for the warm weather. Once the arm is in shape, it is up to the pitcher to try to keep it that way by giving it every attention. The wise pitcher conserves his strength, always tries to have some- He doesn't put all his stuff on every ball pitched. Such a jwystem ' soon wears him out. Rather, he works hardest in the pinch, only, Neevr Too Old. Say little but listen and see much, is my choice bit of advice to every pitcher, regardless of whether it is only an amateur, a promising minor leaguer or a star in the big show. Always listen to advice from an older pitcher. One can always learn something about the art of pitching. I find it so each year. I feel that my greatest asset as a pitcher is control. What I have had in baseball I attribute more to that one thing than all others combined. Every pitcher should work for con- trol. No matter how much stuff a pitcher may have it avails him noth- ing if he can't get the ball over. The greatest mistake most pitch- ers make is warming up. With many GENERAL GROVER ALEXANDER pitchers it is merely playing catch, the loosening up of the muscles. No effort is made to concentrate on their pitching. Develop Control. When warming up to start a game I make an effort to put some thought back of every ball I throw. Figuring the batter is weak on a fast ball inside, letter high, I try to throw several balls at an imaginary spot, conforming with the batter's weakness, Then I try to keep the next four or five balls low and on the outside, on the theory that the mext imagin- ary batsman doesn't like that style of pitohing. - : + 3 wi dud Then I switch to the curve ball or slow one, figuring the batsman is weak on such deliveries. Throughout the warmup period 1 try to do something with every ball I throw. I have an object in mind and seek to attain results. - Never Criticize. Such kind of pitching develops perfect control. The mere throwing of the ball to the catcher is worth- less from the standpoint of acquir- ing epntrol. The pitcher should never forget there are eight other players willing and anxious to ald him. The moral, don't try to strike them all out. Don't let errorg worry you, de- stroy your poise. Never criticize a fellow player. Just remember the player who has erred feels even worse than you do about it. To sum up my career in the big league as a pitcher, I would say that the success that has been kind enough to come my way has been due to a willingness to, work hard, listen to advice, and ouserve care- fully the way the star pitchers work.

The Kingston Tennis Club held its official opening at its new grounds on, Saturday afternoon with Mayor An- grove serving the first BEI! and a large crowd in attendance.
