THE OMAHA FTTNDAY BEE: AUGUST 30. 1914. EXPLODES PITCHER THEORY Stalling of the Brevet Declares Two Days' Rest Enough. HIS OWH MEN BEAR HIM OUT They Work aa the Maa Kwr Third Day Coaai k rhea- , ml the Wrmt of Their Experience. fly FRAJNIC . MEW. YORK, Aug. St. Oeorg Stalling; of th BimvM ha ahot full of hole th theory that a pitcher miwt haiv four or five days' rent between labors ao aa to pilch conelstent baaa ball. For nearly two montha Stalllngs baa worked only three pitchers-Rudolph, Tler and Jajnes. On occasions, when double-headers came along, he worked fourth pitcher, but he hasn't deviated much from hla plan of sending each mem ber of Ma atar trio Into battle every third day. Whst'B been the result? Well, gsxe upon the position the Braves occupy now and then recall th fact that they were down la the cellar poaltlon befor Stalllngs de cided to put the every-thlrd-day plan Into u. " Stalling figure that a pitcher reachea hla beat form when worked every third day. Ha seems to be right No Bet of pitchers have displayed greater form over a two months' stretch than has that won derful trio that ha Is totting- around. "A pltchei-e arm feela a bit stiff the day after ha haa worked a full game." said Stalling, "but rest on that day and rest and -masses; on the second day afterward brlnrs the arm around In fine shape. By the morning of the third day his arm Is in fine shape antaln. and with a little workout It a In shape for duty. "I have found that giving a pitcher four or five days' rest Isn't the twst thing , for him and my boys bear me ' out In this. They tell me that waiting four or five days between games glv the muscles of their arms a chanc to slip back to a certain softness and puts them out of condition temporarily. Tt usually takes a pitcher four or five Innliur. after a long rest, before his srm Is going right, snd by that time the opposition may hsva hammered him often enough to get a safe lead Pitchers ! Accord. "My three great pitchers are thoroughly 10 accord with my plan or working mem very three days. They say It la the best thing for them. At first when J tried tha experiment I thought they - might think It too great a strain on them, but they tell me now that Instead of hurting their pltclng It helpa them be cause It keep them in good ahap right along and gives them no chanca to get atala or out of condition. "Many peraons are predicting that my trio of Ditchers will 'crack. They have been predicting It ever alnce I put that very-lhlrd-day plan Into execution. ui bjt boy haven't cracked and they aren't going to crack. Working a pitcher every third day Isn't overworking him, and I Ventura tha opinion tha the success of my plan will causa many other managers to adopt It nest year. "It strikes me as a lot of bunk that Pitchers, who work about every tour or five day, should complain about what a sever strain It is on their arms to pltoh a full lame aa often as that. A pitcher during an ordinary gam will throw from 115 to 136 balls during ulna Innings. Home pitchers throw mora and some less. Dur ing warming up exercises they will throw nearly that many and never think any thing about It "Pitching a full gam wlll( use up a man's arm to a certain extant and make a rest necessary. But three daya are i rough, according to James, Rudolph and Tyler, who have tried out the plan and ft ho hav demonstrated Its virtues. They have, pitched shutout ball and small-hit i games almost day after day. Why? Be- cauaa they are great pitchers In the first place and because by working every third dar they have kept their arms In tha pink of condltioa.'

New Orleans Plans ; Lightweight Fights NEW ORLEANS, U, sAug. 23,-Flght promoters here are making preparations to stage several championship battles this fll. Little men are more popular than the big fellows In the southern city. Heavyweights are not wanted at all. A return match between Willie Ritchie and Freddie Welsh la the moat Important af fair to be attempted. Promoter Tortorlch thinks he can afford beter terms than Coffroth. Both Welsh and Ritchie say they wilt be ready for action tn October, and It Is likely they will stgn articles before long. Charley White, who has earned tha right to claim Rltchle'a attention, states that he will not pres hla claim, being willing lo wait until Ritchie Is ready. Evidently White would rather meet Welsh fcr the world s title than the hard-hitting Ritchie for the American championship. ny nintnr:. NEW YORK, Aug. Z.lA-rh Cross, the Ghetto's greetcrt exponent in the mltt wlcldlng game, l once strain In the first flight of lightweight. The lothatnlte, who Is at present hanking lu the balmy clime of California and Intermittently gathering In wads of western money, forced his way to recognition again by his decisive defeat of Jose Rivers, tlie psmidn Mexlem,, In their fourth meeting a short while ago. Cross' stock In the boxing nmrkct has fluctuated more than Hint of any other fighter. One year Cross leads his con stituents to believe that lie Is all through as a rtngman: that he has 'reached the tether of his ring ucfulr.e. The next year he comes through with a brand of fighting that sends his followers Into estaeies and has them proclaiming him the greatest of living lightweights. Ierlilo waa believed to be "done" as a capable performer as far back as June, 1909, when he euccurnlied to Dick Hyland lo forty-one gruelling rounds. This was Ieachle's first offenee In deceiving the boxing populace. Previous to that grind h. had defeated some of the, best 133 poumlers In the business and had given the great Pnckey MrFarland a couple of hard fights over six and ten rounds Lured to West ( mui, Then a long-distance match with Hy Innd was broached, and Cross, his eyes blinded by the promise of big money, waa lured to the coast. He got as much aa M for tugging through forty-one rounds under a broiling sun. He swore on high that he would never again fight on the Pacific. But time (and money) changes the deepest set Ideas of any man, as will be seen forthwith. Cross straggled home east with the avowed Intention of never donning the gloves again. But the call of the game waa too strong for him and two months later he waa at It again, abandoning his profession of molar extracting for the more remunerative calling of boxing. He fared successfully In his first few flights upon his return to the ring and de rided to stick to It for all he could get out of It. He cleansed the lightweight field thoroughly during the next three years. He eliminated many contendere for championship honors, while ha him self made no pretensions to the orown. Then came the East slder's second set back. In September of 1911, Leach Is fought so poorly against Jimmy Duffy of Buffalo that he was declared tha loner for hla unfair tactics. Tha following month ha Buffered another reversal. Jack Brltton being his conqueror. Then fol lowed two great but losing battles against Joe Rivers. Cross was surely through, waa tha universal opinion. Then Leachle became vagrant to hla row. He shook the dust of New York and once again tempted fate, as It la tempted on the coast Ha hiked to Vernon and convinced tha Callfornlans that ha was a fighter after all. "Bud" Anderson, a sen sational newcomer, waa selected aa his opponent, and Leachle put the qulotus on him In twelve rounds. He then outpointed Matty Baldwin In twenty and whipped Frank Harries u up In Vancouver. Leach waa coming back again. He re turned home again and waa matched to fight ten rounds with Champion Ritchie In Madison Square. Garden. Cross was now so confident In hia prowess hat ha toojt on Young Brown a tough customer, as a workout, and knocked out his com patriot In fire rounds. Nearly Whipped Ritchie. Then came the bout with Ritchie. Suf fice it to say or let Willie Ritchie him self say It-Croea came within a hairs- breadth of winning the world's champion- ship. Ritchie admits that he never was hit such a terrlflo blow aa Cross delivered on his person In thst second round. Cross, the veteran, tha general, the shrewdest fighter In the game, loat his poise when a world's title and $500,000 were In his grasp. He waited too long before trying to deliver the decisive blow. Ritchie had recuperated by the time Leach was ready tn send It over, and the greatest chance of Cross's career win gone. Less than three weeks later Cros was on the coast again, and for the third time he lost to Joe Rivers, his Nemesis, this time In twenty rounds. Was Leach going back again? He put up a miser able exhibition against tha Spaniard, yet he Insisted that he waa Rivera superior. With this goal In view a victory over Rivers Cross Immediately set about ac complishing It. He realised his ambition the other daya, and now he has his mind set on bigger game the championHhlp of America. Cross has temporarily given up hopee of battling Freddie Welsh for the world's honora on account of the European tangle. But he Is hot on the trait of Willie Ritchie for a match with the lightweight championship of these I'nlted States at stake, Ritchie, although shorn of his world's title, still retains the American supremacy "and will defend U against all comers, beginning a month hence. -m- ....

CALL OUT F0RW0LYERINES Yost, Sounding Bugle for Eleven, Confident of Harvard's Defeat. FILLING UP HIS TEAM 0AP3 Mleatcaa Caaek Haa oase fpUraala Material with Which ta Fena a Remarkably Strang? ' Llaa. ' ANN ARBOR, Mich.. Aug. sl-The warning- call for tha assembling of tha Wolverine warriors haa been Bounded and the first Yostism for tha season of 1914 haa been uttered. "We'll meet 'am at the crossroads," declared Fielding H. Yost, In speaking of the prospects for a Michigan victory over Harvard. When the actual practice begins, about the middle of September, there will be twenty-four candidates competing. Eight veterana will be lost. The strength, of Craig, Pontlua and Allmendlnger cannot be counted upon to win glory for Michi gan thla year. To offset the passing of these, three new candidates are expected to win their spurs. They are Maulbetsch, Nelman and Splaun. While there are fourteen new candidates', thorn , three stand out prominently aa coming start. Maulbetach la touted aa one of the faatest halfbacks who ever donned mole skins. He weighs 186 pounds, is built low, has a powerful pair of shoulders anfi his dashes are characterized by lightning speed. The chief asset which , enables Maulbetach to play prominently aa one of tha main cogs In a foot hall machine lis tha peculiar manner In whloh ha runs. It la almost Impossible to successfully tackle Maulbetach. Ha haa a eorckscrew style of dashing, and even when tackled squarely haa such a sturdy pair of pegs that his assailant is usually carried back several yarda lfelsaaa) Avaraaarva Oarear. Nelman, who tips the scales at 18S pounds, in all probability will take the place of Patterson In the pivot position. He is tha most aggressive center since the daya of Germany Sohultx. His lack of weight Is mora than made up by his style of attack. Nelman plays roving or loose center. Splaun will he a strong contender for the fullback position against Meade and Benton, both of whom have hail one year" a tutoring under Tost Tha lanky fullback weighs 190 pounds and is (ex ceptionally fast His punts are from sixty to seventy yarda, while ha la a formidable forward paas man and drop kicker. He can hurl tha oval low and on a straight line for fifty yards, while hla drop and place kicking Is dependable at from thirty-five to forty-five yards. . While the loss of tha eight veterans will be keenly felt, Tost haa abundant material around which to build a valu able' machine. There are ten . warriors left who have served under him. These si McHate, Meade. Hughrtt. Gait. Cat lett Captain Raynsford, Bushncll, Lyons, James and Ooohran. nsakr BaekflcU List. The .contenders for the backfield posi tions will be Gait, Hughitt Maulbetsch, Splaun, Benton, Meade, Catlett Bastlan, McNamara and Bushnell. Gait weighs 165 pounds, Is fast and will be a pretty teammate for Maulbetsch at the other hair position. Ha played at left half last year alongside of Jimmy Craig and In all probability will hold down his position this season. Hughitt seema to be the choloa at quarter and will encounter no difficulty In maintaining his position. Hughitt weighs 145 pounds and Is con sidered tha best quarterback Yost haa tfhd since tha days of Boss Weeks. Tha Wolverines will not lack In coaches thla year. Germany Hchultg will again handle the line. Douglas will again managa tha all freshmen candidates, while Jimmy Craig of last year's team wlU assist Tost with tha backfield. Craig will likely have command of the scrubs. Tost thlnka that he haa an even break with tha easterners If his men develop as ha plana Yost believes that with a good solid wall In front ha can win thla game with a sensational runner in the tackfleld and a good forward pass and punt artist. He ha these men in Maul Detach and Splaun. Ha Is counting on Winning the Harvard game. If at all, by sending Maulbetsch through the line on split plays and end runs. If Michigan's famous scoring machine Is not working the day will Jlkely go to the easterners. as the Wolverines cannot hope to com pete In tha kicking line with Harvard. Burrell.

Whn Killwne left Cleveland for the coast to begin training he announced that ha was prepared to stsy In Cstlfornla, meeting all-comers, until he had (oroed the sporting world to admit ;hat h ia a reul champion. ' Kilbane should have a care lest he lose his title Instead of Improving his stand ing. This haa been a very unfortunate year for chaiiipiona. Kilhana and John son are the only ones left of those woh were supreme a few months uco John son no doubt would have lost hl crown had he not been so careful In selecting his opponents. Kllhane has met no dangerous men, although this cannot be held against him, bex'ause theie la none to glva him battle w it b the exception of Dumio. ' A cablegram received by Mrs. Frank J.
