PITCHING IN CONSIDERATION
Wlnnlnsr of (James nnd Pulling tho
Team Up to Top of Ladder De
pend to Lame Extent on
Mnn In Iloi.
NEW YORK. June 13-"Hlt 'em where
they ain't," said "Wo Willie" Keeler.
Ambltloua ball players havo been trying
to do It ever since. As a matter ot fact
they were trying to do It before "Wllllo"
tipped them off to what they were try
ing to do.
It's Just as simple as doing a "brodle"
over Niagara Falls and still Xeellnff
healthy and strong afterward. "Willie"
said it as It that's all any batter has to
know to cut Into any pitcher's pitching
for about .400 worth. And to "Willie" In
his prime It was just Ilka reciting the
alphabet But all batters are not
Keelers. That's why some pitchers draw
big salaries.
There are a lot of players who per
sonally believe "Willie" Cldn't know what
ho was talking about. They call them
selves "hard luck hitters" because field
ers move out ot their usual positions to
play In tho right spots to atonjwalt the
near hits.
They mumblo something about "Hit
'em whero they ain't Is nil right enough,
but thoro ain't no such places. Just
as a fellow thinks he's picked an opening
big enough for a baso ball to slldo
through without having the trade mark
rubbed otfi some fielder pulls a 'bone,'
leaves his position and Is just lucky
enough to wander In front ot tho ball."
Most of theso players are "lucked" out
of tho big leagues,
Can Stop .Most of Them,
But In at least ono Instance some of
these disgruntled batters arc right. Tho
four young men who do business for
"Connie" Mack on hts lawn are as noar
to being a net without bolng a net as
anything or things could bo. There seems
to be only one kind ot a hit they cannot
stop something going so fast they can
not eeo It.
That Infield has won two pennants for
htm In tho last three years and Is guid
ing tho Athletics along tho straight and
narrow path again. Last season Mack's
pitching staff was anything but a cham
pionship contrivance. Yet tho young
pitchers could be pounded for various
quantities of runs and the games still bo
savod. because Baker, Barry, Collins and
Molnnts took It upon themselves to manu
facture more Tuns than tho ether fel
lows could.
It is up to tho infield to pull the club
through to the top It It Is to mlngls In
another world series next autumn. At
least three-quarters of the games the
Athletics havo lost this season can bo
directly attributed to poor pitching. Ot
course, when tho campaign was first
started the Intleld was not hitting In Its
real form.
It makea no dlfferenco what tho tally
sheet shows Baker, Barry, Collins and
Mclnnls are always on the Job, looking
for something to keep them busy. And
they generally find It.

ager Reed today. "For tho flret tlrao In
many years tho Cornhuskers will get tho
cream of the Omaha High school ath

much assistance to us. On the strength
ot several letters, which I have received
from Omaha High school boys, and from
other foot ball stars from tho smaller
high schools of Nebraska, I am confi
dent tho freshmen eleven next fall will
be even stronger that that great organi

Reed are busy closing up he odds and
ends preparatory to the summer recess.
Tho athletic board closed tho season with
a balance of nearly 11.000 In the treasury

MUST AVOID ORTHODOX GAME
Americans Will Have to Play Slam
Bang Tennis to Retain Cup.
PRETTY STYLES WILL NOT DO
SIcLoaKhlin Found that Ont When
lie Tried It nt the All-Bngjlnnd
Championship at Wimble
don Lnat July.
NEW YORK, June 13. Orthodox lawn
tennis In not the sort that will retain tho
Davis International challenge cup for tho
Americans. This, at least. Is the opinion
that iiaa been generally expressed during
the past few days, as the. players have
begun to discuss the possibilities ot tho
great battles across the nets which will
be fought out in this country within the
next two months. Now that the places
for deciding the matches havo been dis
posed of, after more than the usual
amount of care and thought, the thing
that occupies the attention of the fol
lowers of the game Is tho selection ot
tho team ot four that will defend tho
famous trophy.
The general attitude toward tho sub
ject was well expressed by Theodore
Roosevelt Pell. "It will bo one of tho
greatest things tor tennis in this coun
try," said Pell,,"lf wo can manage to
kee the cup. Our men havo got to, bo
better than Anthony F. Wilding, Norman
E. Brookes, A. W. DunlOp and' Stanley
N. Doust, for there docs not seem to be
a doubt tn any quarter aa to the Aus
tralasians winning the preliminary eertes
and standing in the place of the chal
lengers. Speed 1b tho thing that will save
the cup for us, .but outside of McLough
lln there does not appear to be a 'fire
eater' anywhere In sight"
Remember the Matches,
Karl H. Behr was of the same mind
as Pell. Ho said: "My recollections of
tho Dayls cup matches, In which I played
against Wilding and Brookes, are still
vividly Impressed upon me, arid I know
that a victory must be hammered through
them. The kind ot tennis that "will win
against Wilding is the slam-bang kind.
At, Wimbledon, last year, McLoughlln, In
the final of the all-England champion
ship, attempted to play tho pretty, scien
tific tennis of the British brand. It was
about as easy and simple for Wilding to
kill the shots as it is for the cook to
swat tho fly that lights directly before
her. That is not the soft ot tennis that
has made McLoughlln famous, He'll
1 never gain anything by tactics of that
sort, either. It Is the exploslvencss of
his tennis, the vagaries as of a devastat
ing cyclone, with Its tremendous power,
that has compelled his victories. It's the
sort ot punch that the American team
will need, and which must bo developed."
Americans who are abroad, and who
have been watching Wilding, and tho
others In action, have written letters, to
those In charge of the American defense
In much the same words. It is the old,
bewildering game of McLoughlln that is
likely to bo successful, and not tho tap
shot from tho back of tho court or
pretty drives along tho lines. As a con
sequence, the committee has been deluged
with letters pointing out the tolly of a
plan of procrastination which will not
bring tho men who may bo selected for
the American defense together until prac
tically the time of naming tho team,
wnich Is July 22.
Urcced to Come Knrly.
These things were brought home so
strongly to tho committee that, at n
rceent meeting Georgo T. Adeo was;
Instructed to notify the Callforntans that
they must arrange their plans to arrlvo
in this city by the latter part of this
month. George T. Adee, In talking of
tho plan of tho committee, said that It
was intended to work tho men striving
for places on tho cup team to the limit
There is. high hope that Eliea Fottrell,
the yung rlayer who won so handsomely
last winter during his trip through tho
Orient, may come up to the expectations
of those who have heard glowing tales
of his prowess. Fottrell Is said to bo
another McLoughlln. He has the same
dashing style, in which nothing comes off
according 'to a preconceived pattern, but
like tho bursting of rockets and bombs,
with all ot the dazzling effects. Tho
youthful William M, Johnston Is also In
high favor with those who have seen
him In action. The thing the committee
wants, however, Is to get the men on tho
turf and put them through enough
competitions to ascertain exactly what
may be expected, of them. There Is tho
belief that Thomas C. Bundy will hardly
be able to make the doubles along with
McLoughlln, and that he has gone back
ward as to form. There Is tho question
as to whether or not Fottrell can take
his place,' as he Is thought well ot as a
doubles player, and has displayed con
siderable skill at this department ot tho
game.
