They have reached the conclusion that their teams have been handicapped by the presence of too. many pitchers on the bench. With steady work for four or five good men it was shown this year that effectiveness in the box could be increased. Further- more, thé ability of certain hurlers to pitch two games in one day.prov- ed that the average boxman could stand more work without going stale than team managers in former years had been led to believe.
