LONG. HARD HITS DROVE IN MANY RUNS
' - **•
moripso* f*vor~o
Jack Murray, Slugging Outfielder of Giants.
The hundreds of New York fans
who saw Jack Murray go through the
world's series without getting a hit
sac -bea wondered if McGraw would
drrp him from the team in 1912 may
1* surprised to know that this red
healed young Irishman is the White
Hope of the Giants.
if ter looking over the bright galaxy
<f fence busters for the spring we
End that the name of Jack Murray
lends them all. He is the toast of the
team and the pride of McGraw. Never
la bis life has Bed played such havoc
• «h spring pitchers
Several of the players were dis
cussing Marray's failure to hit in the
tig series, and lor the Erst time Mc
Graw discussed that much mooted
vubject.
"W hile be didn't get a hit." said
McGraw. “| was quite well satisfied
with Ms work, for he hit them all
hard and on the nose, lie was un
tatky ia haring his drives thoot
s’raighT at some fielder. I never had
any Me* at letting him go. In criti
i cizing Murray for his lack of batting.
•he fans probably overlooked the fact
j that during the season he drove in
i many a winning run with his long
smashes.”
Hal Chase May Retire.
Hal Chase, it is predicted by many
I followers of the game. Is about to the
end of his string as a ball player. Not
because Hal has not the ability to
continue, for the wonder of the initial
sack still has several top-notch years
sewed up in his career if he cares to
take advantage of them, but Chase is
becoming weary of baseball. His pres
ent illness, it is stated, has made him
turn his thoughts to other things, and
if he does go back on the diamond
'his year it will in all probability be
his last. The loss of Chase would be
a hard blew for the national sport, as
his name has been written in history
with Honus Wagner. Nap Lajoie. Ty
Cobb and the other great diamond
heroes.
“INSIDE BALL” PUZZLE
Explanation of Term That Both*
ers Many Enthusiasts.
In the Long Run Team Which Plays
Game as It Should From Start of
Season to End Will Finish
Better Than Its Rival.
“Inside ball’ is a term which puz
zles many enthusiasts. The expres
sion immediately brings to mind se
cret manipulations on the diamond
and is general!? passed up as being
too deep. In reality inEide ball is
nothing more or less than playing the
game. There is no mystery about it.
Of course, every major league and
minor league squad has its “signs.” or
signals as they are called by the fans,
writes Malcolm McLean in the Chi
cago Evening Post. But so have foot
ball teams and basketball squads.
Take the average ball game. The
home team is at bat. nobody is down
and there’s a runner on first. The
, batter tries to lay down a sacrifice
bunt, and misses the ball. "Aw, hit
’er out,” yells a bleacherite in disgust.
Then he turns to his neighbor and
growls. “Gee. I can't stand for that
kind of a game. What’s that guy try
ing to bunt for? Why don’t he hit
’em to the fence?”
This instance is one of the many
"mysteries" of inside ball. It's play
ing the game to sacrifice that man
around to second, from which point
he can easily score on a single. If
the batter tries to hit safely right
from the jump there's the immediate
danger of a double play, and two men
out.
Tjftce another case. There's a man
on first and a left-hander at bat Such
a hitter generally slaps one to right
field or between first and second. So.
: naturally, as soon as the ball is bit
j the shortstop runs to cover second in
the hopes of negotiating a double play
If the batter hits right-handed the sec
ond baseman usually covers second
Yet this is the so-called inside ball
which has so many fans wondering
w!i-»t’s it all about.
The Cubs in the past were called
masters of inside ball The reason
was they had played together so long
that every man knew the instant the
ball was hit just what to do under the
circumstances. In other words, it was
second sense or "inside ball” if you
prefer.
Yet this style of play doesn't af
i ways win—far to the contrary. Fre
quently the Boston Red Sox have
thrown inside ball to the winds and
played the hit-and-run game instead of
sacrificing They broke up the defense
of the rival teams by pulling stuff
when not expected. It’s far more spec
; tacutar if they get away with it For
instance, with first and second occu
pies and none out. to have the batter
; knock the ball over the fence at the
first pitch warms the cockles of the
heart more than a dinky little bunt
and an out at first
But you'll find that in the long run
the team which plays the game as it
should from the start of the season to
the end will finish better than its
rival, if both squads are about equal
[ in strength.
Changes at Toledo.
Manager Hansel or the Hens is said
to have come to the conclusion he tad
better stay out of the game and play
Art Griggs in the outfield. It looks as
if he was going to let Fred Uernck
stay at first base.
Speed of Cincinnati Reds.
The Cincinnati Reds have snown a
big improvement in base running ana
tbis Is in a great measure responsible
for their sensational work. They nave

Hank O'Day is making the most ot
1 this.
OVER 61 FEET OF PITCHERS
Smallest of St. Louis Twirlers is 5

Is 6 Feet 4 in HeighL
What do you think of a fellow stand

twirlers and he is the smallest That I

comes to slimness he isn't in a class

I Willis is next in line. Kis hair is

Dale, another youngster, and Golden,
the lad with all the speed, along with
Steele, the lad who lacks control, are
tied for third honors. They are en

Slim Sallee, are just an inch shorter—
not their combined height', for if the
slim fellow was not afraid of bending
and would allow Harmon to stand on
i his head, they would tower 12 feet

Woodburn is the six-footer of the ag

i class is Louis Tjoudermilk.
This staff of ten men has a total

One Great Hitter Retires.
A one time great hitter slid grace
i fully into oblivion when the Milwau
| kee American Association uncondi
; tionallv released George Stone, the
reigning sensation in the American
I league during 1906. Daring that year
! Stone, who was with St. Louis,
: smashed every American league pitch
er without fear or favor, finishing the
season with the percentage of .258
; Stone had a peculiar crouch at the
plate and. being a left-hand hitter, he
chopped and swung many of his hits
down the left field foul line and to left
center. George, however, was no
; startling fielder, being particularly
weak on ground balls and using poor
judgment of fiv balls, especially those
which went over his head. His won
derful hitting, however, covered these
smaller sins until the American hurl
ers found his weak spot.
FEW CURVE BALLS ARE USED
Kan* Lcbert ef Philadelphia National
Tram Te l* of Methods of
Modem Pitcher*.
-If you ask a big league ball player
about the eot« ud benders thrown
t< the nrioiu pitcher* he won't give
forth a mine of information. In fact,
he Is lifceiy to tell you that they don't
reel!} m cgsixe such things as curves
any more.' said Hans Lobert the other
day “We only figure on what we
call a straight hall and a ball with a
hop on it. All the so-called curves are
included in the category of 'balls with
n hop on them' Most of the apparent
ly wonderful curves are Just balls
stunted at the plate from a different
angle The lade-away is g slow ball
that is dropping of Ks own weight.
The in or one curve* are simply ‘fast
ban* with w hop.' and outsiders call
them in or on carve*, mainly as they
see a left or right handed batter fac
ing them.
“Here and there as occasional pitch
er trie* all sorts of grating shoots.
_
usually to the detriment of the base
on-balls record. The veterans and
even the wise youngsters, however,
just rely on the fast straight ball,
thrown from different angles and
hence seeming to curve, or on the fast
ball with a hop—a ball that takes a
little jimp as it nears the plate—
that's the so-called breaking of the
I < urve. or on slow ones chucked, like
the fast straight balls front different
angles. The big. wide curves that
they used to throw don't happen any
more.
“Drop curves, so-called, used to be
thrown with a jerk that wore a man's
arm all to pieces. Beyond doubt Buf
fington and Ramsey threw actual drop
curves that had speed on them, but
: the modern pitcher simply fires a
slanting ball from overhead. Joe Mc
, Ginnity was the last man to throw a
• genuine curving raise ball. Take it
i from me. there are very few curves
i now used—a tiny jump of the rotating
; ball has supplanted them, with the
! trick of throwing from and to the dif
j recent angles. Just a straight ball
and a ball with a hop on it—that's
^the pitching of today.”
St. Joseph sold Pitcher McDonald
to the Hiawatha club of the Mint
| league. He was the only southpaw on
; the Drummer team.
Ralph Capron is doing Ty Cobb
stunts with the Brewers and the old
; timers in the Association are com
i plaining that such speed will break up
| the league.
Manager Clarke says he certainly
intends to recall Ralph Capron fr>m
Milwaukee in August. He was sent
to the Brewers only that he mi»’ht
have a chance to play regularly.
When Newark of the International
league desired to cast Bill Bergen
adrift it was disclosed that Brooklyn
still had an option on him. The Dodg
er management refused to exercise
it, however, and Billy was declared a
free agent.
Chattanooga has purchased Pitcher
Boehler from Wcshington. He was
with Springfield, O.. last season. Rip
Yowinkle has been released.
Block, the catcher St. Bau! secured
from the St. Louis Cardinals, is lead

Larry Doyle has stolen more bases

Physicians Recommend Castoria
ASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharma
^ ceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with
results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the
result of three facts: fint—'The indisputable evidence that it is harmless;
Second- That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimi
lates the food: nw-It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor OiL
It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic
and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman’s Drops, Godfrey’s
Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, how
ever, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day
for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To
our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by
regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to.
the information.—Hall’s Journal of Health.
Letters from Prominent Physicians
addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher.
Dr. B. Halstead Scott, of Chicago, Ills., says: “I have prescribed yens
Castoria often for infants during my practice, and find it very satisfactory.”1
Dr. William Belmont, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "Your Castoria stands
first In its class. In my thirty years of practice I o»n say I never have
found anything that so filled the place.”
Dr. J. H. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "1 have used yonr Castoria and
found it an excellent remedy in my household and private practice for
many years. The formula is excellent.”
Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says: “I prescribe your Castoria
extensively, as I have never found anything to equal it for children’s
troubles. I am aware that there are imitations in the field, but I always
see that my patients get Fletcher’s.”
Dr.Wm. J KcCrann, of Omaha, Neb., says: "As the father of thirteen
children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside
from my own family experience I have in my years of practice found Caa
toria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home.”
Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "The name that yonr Cas
toria has made for itself In the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the
presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorse
ment of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and
believe it an excellent remedy.”
Dr. R. U. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Physicians generally do not
prescribe proprietary preparations, but in the case of Castoria my experi
ence, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an ex
ception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice because I have found it
to he a thoroughly reliable remedy for children's complaints. Any physi
cian who has raised a family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recom
mendation of Castoria.”

HEART NEEDS ESPECIAL CARE
Strain on the Vital Organ Must Be
Avoided When Middle Life Has
Been Passed.
“The death by heart failure of Gen
Frederick D. Grant,” says the Medical
Record, “emphasizes the repeated
warnings of the medical profession
that we should treat a senile heart
with respect. As far as we know
there is not the slightest disagreement
on this one point—every human heart
over fifty, and perhaps over forty-five,
cannot stand much internal pressure
without being ruined or at least dam
aged. A very slight man may go
through severe muscular exertion with
but little damage, but a heavy man.
like the general, places on the heart
and arteries a hydrostatic pressure be
yond the safety point, and it never re
covers.
“The pitiful feature of this deplor
able death is the fact that Gen.
Grant in his last annual report had
called attention to the opinion of life
insurance examiners that army offi
cers were becoming poor risks on ac
count of the increasing strain on their
profession. It Is safe to predict more
deaths like Gen. Grant's, unless we
treat the heart of a man over forty
five with more gentleness.
