With tho Eases Full, Batter Imagines
That Next Ball Will Be a Fast
One It Was a Curvo and
He Missed It a Yard.
Any player who oxpocts that anoth

6razy, according to Manager Jennings.
Hughio bollovos that no matter how
strong tho tloa of affoctlon may bo
tlipy will not stand tho tost of placing
Damon and Pythias on opposlto sides
in tho national gamo and expecting
thorn to holp each other. Ho tolls n
Etory to Illustrate his point.
"Thoro wan a certain pitcher In tho
National league at ono tlmo who had
u peculiar nervous affection of tho
facial mtiBcl03 that mado him appear
to bo winking all tho tlmo. 1 will
not mention his namo becauso ho may
bo sonsitivo about this affliction, it
you'd call It that. Ono day ho was
pitching n tough gamo when ono of I1I3
chums, who happened to bo with tho
other club at that tlmo, enmo to bat
in a pinch.
"Tho count had arrived at a point
whoro tho battor was In a nolo, when
ho noticed tho pitcher apparently
winking at him. ,
"'Aha,' ho Bald to himsolf. 'Ho Is
tipping mo tho wink that tho old fast
ono is coming bocauso ho doesn't want
to seo mo fall down with tho bases
hllod. I'll just got a too hold and
bu3t this ono a mile.'
"Acting accordingly, ho took n lungo
at tho next pitch, and, as it hnpponed
to bo a curvo ball, ho missed it about
a yard. As ho went out to his position
ho walked up to tho pitcher and said
very much in earnest:
"'Hereafter, Frank, novcr mind
about tipping mo off. I can do bettor
when I uso my own judgment.' "
SCHULTE HAS UNIQUE RECORD
Veteran Chicago Outfielder Ha3 Been
Banished From Game but Once
In Ten Years.
Frank Schulto, tho veteran Chicago
outlioldcr, ha3 a uniquo record in base
ball. Ho has only been put out of tho
gamo by an umpire onco In ton yonrs.
Schulto would not have boon banished
thon excopt for tho fact that Umplro
Finneran misunderstood him. Tho in
cident occurred in 1912.
Schulto was at bat, facing a situa
tion whoro ho was supposed to hit at
my ball that camo within reach. Ho
foulod off two and was in tho holo.

Frank was so mad at himsolf that
ho pounded on tho plato with hia bat,

and put him out of tho game.
CONFIDENCE IS GREAT ASSET
Texas Giant Discovered In Training
Camp Who Haa All Earmarks
of Major League Pitcher.
Confidenco sometimes counts for a
lot. In tho first basubull game of the
season In tho training camp of tho St.
Louis Cardinals tho San Antonio Bron
chos whitewashed tho Cardinals, and
incidentally discovered a Texas giant
who has all tho earmarks of a groat
pitcher.
"I can pitch ao good as any of those
guya out thoro," said Stair, a young
HorculcB from Lullng, Tox., who had
npplled to Manager Loldy for a Job
with tho BronchoB.
"You'd hotter withdraw your appli
cation, if you feel that way about It,"
Leldy retorted,
"Honest, I mean It. GIvo mo a
trial," porslated tho lanky Lullng
youth.
Put on tho mound, Stair created a
sonsatlon, striking out tho Cardinals
right and loft, a;id allowing only ono
Bcratch hit in tho four Innings ho was
permitted to pitch.
