Carl Mays. winner of twenty

and has been about as useful as a
spare rib. Roush again developed
charley horses in both legs and re-
tired from the line-up, taking with
him. about 20 per cent.‘of the teams
punch. Hughey Critz was forced
out by: injuries. giving way to Char-
ley Dresses. whose bad arm was
not expected to respond to treat~ '
ment and probably has not. Har-
graves and Bresslertremained in the:
game for the most -,part but their
efficiency decreased not a. little be-
cause of the fact that they suffered
from injured hands.
In spite of thencdepreu‘ing de-
tails", the Reds stepped out andiwon

OF FAST CONTEST
STAMFORD May ll.—-—
Playing a fast. hard hitting game
of baseball. which was marred by
numerous miscues. Li'i’olsl‘s «in
Stars yesterday afternoon lost a hard
fought game to the Kennedy All
Stars of New York by a 6 to 4 score.
The visiting outfit. which has sp-
neared here on previous occasions.
presented a. new line-up and they
were possessed of a crew of hard
hitting batters.
Moger pitched for the local tsa'm
and he was touched up for a total of
nine hits. The opposing moundaman,
Taylor. allowed thirteen hits. many
of them being long distance clouts.
Despite the hard hitting that was a
feature of the contest only two two-
base hits predominated the long dis.

What the Democratic party needs
TEA-liberty. 4,
(By NORMAN E. GRO‘VN)
Are pitchers yanked too quickly
snd,vgltbouL.4u1ficlenc from 7 by
baseball managers in their efforts to
win games?
This much-muted question bobs
up min as the early season born-
bardment of the hurlers by the big
league batters continues. Scercely a.
day goes by that does not see sever-
al pitchers of both big circuits sent
to their respective showers before
the games are finished.
Naturally considerable
goes to the hurler who find himself
"derricked" when things begin
breaking badly for him in a tight
game. But I take exception to the
remark sometimes expressed that
pitchers are being abused and injur»
ed in this respect.
The plea is made in their behalf
that they come to lose all confidence
in themselves after they. have been
withdrawn two or three times. That
they eventually go into the game
feeling, that they will not last
through it. no matter what happens.
The psychological edect is detri-
mental to them and the team. it is
pointed out.
.It is argued that the ficlders are
not summarily yanked when they
weaken by fielding a ball poorly or
that batters are not "yanked” when
they fail to deliver at bat in a pincli.
This in a measure is true at first
thought. But when the relative im-
portance of these players in a gil on
game is considered this argument
falls flat.
The pitcher is the backbone of a
team‘s defense. He literally starts so
psi-"cent of the plays in the game.

,The first baseman figures in

penance for part of it.
Failure of any other given player
to play his part in the defense in a.
given nmewoa‘kens the team to a
degree in proportion to his part in
the defensive play. His weakness in a
given game. therefore. is less dis-
astrous in the same proportion. He
may neutralize his weakness afield
by his efforts on the offense. He-
versely.‘ he mayxatone for his weak-
new on the offense by sterling work
afield. '
Danie Bush. Oscar Vitt. Everett
Scott and others are examples or
men who rose to stardom in the big
league despite their inability to de-
liver at bat.- This because their de-
ve play was beyond question.
» Continued failure of the regular
players on a. team to deliver on of-
fense or defense results in their being
derricked Just as the faltering pitch-
er is.
’ There is no way of comparing the
relative harm done a team by a
pitcher enjoying an "oil" day and a
fielder or batter in a slump. it is im-
possible to say whe‘ther a pitcher
costs a team more by losing one
gains than a fielder does in playing
poor ball in a given stretch of games.
But if the relatile importance of
these players to the team is consid-
ered one comes to the conclusion
that the infielder or outfielder suf-
fers the same "humiliation." in com-
parison to" his part in the scheme of
things, as does the liurler.
Then Why the sympathy for the
pitcher?

New YORK, May, 11.—.—All the
old fellows in the American League.
and some of the young ones. too.
» are crowing raucously and joyously
because of the stunts Ty Cobb is do-
ing with his bat. It is the reaction
of ball players who have had Babe
Ruth's feats waved before their eyes
until they have covertly expressed
their annoyance. It was bound to
happen in time, for the ball players.
especially the old guard. are not in
sympathy with the great Ruthphobis.
ball player's peeve back in the days
when he was the top liner most of
the time. and many is the “riding"
he has had on the diamond. But now
they are cheering the king who. af-
ter all his years of activity. has done
something that Ruth was never able
to do. and that‘ only one other bail
player in history has been able to do
—bat five home. runs in two succes-
sive games.
Cap Ansou hit that many back in
188‘. He had been a National Lea
guer for eight years and was going
on his ninth when he did it. Chicago
was so proud of him in those days
that Chicago would kid him. just to
show its affection. But just let a
“foreigner" from Indiana come over
the line and try it!
Cap Anson hit his five homers in
two games in the month of August.
while Cobb. who has just annihilated
the American League record. hit his
early in May. That probably ghee
Anson a little edge. for the old tim'—
ers contend. and with reason. that
ibis harder to hit pitchers late in
the season. after they have got thor-
oughly under way.
At any rate. Cobb has set a new
record for the modern big leagucrs.‘
