GOOD PITCHING.
Pitching is most essential to the
consistent winner in baseball.
Poor pitching can make even the
classiest team look bad. lfaiiure in
this department of play appeared to
, shake the confidence of the entire
club.
In the early spring. the collapse
of the pitching staff of the New York
Yankees was a handicap that
couldn't be overcome. A s a matter
’02 fact the entire club sunk with the
pitching.
It was decidedly unusual for a
Yankee pitcher to finish a game.
Manager Huggins was kept ever
busy maneuvering his staff in an cf-
-fort to hold any winning margin the
club-might have.
Recently. in the second invasion
of the east by the western clubs. the
Yankees won six of the first seven
games played.
' In each one of the seven games
the Starting pitcher finished. In
these seven gamen the Yankees
proved conclusively that the team is
'not' a. second division aggregation
when provided with proper pitching.
The only game lost of the aspen
played was by the narrow margin of
1-2. in which two cestly breaks de-
pided the tilt against the Yankees.

Strangely enough. Coveleskie and

"has-been" class by a majority of
the big league managers. .
Connie Mack's ace. the veteran Ed

30 BREAKS—CLAIMS RECORD!
Charley Schmidt, Ex-BigtLeague Catcher‘and Now an Umpire, Be-
lieves He Holds Ail-Time Mark for Fracturing Digits
BAN FRANCIICO. Aus. Ida-in
baseball there are breaks and breaks.
Often a "week" will win or loss a
game.
But when anyone speaks of
"breaks" to Charley Schmidt. the
veteran can think only of broken
fingers.
During :4 years spent on the dia-
mond. Charley has had the fingers
on his right hand broken all times-—
an average of six breaks on each dig-
it.
On one occasion his thumb was
nearly cut off by the spikes of g
sliding player. hanging by Just a
shred of flesh. The member was
sewed back together again and is
now working as well as ever.
Schmidt believes he holds the rec-
0rd for the number of fractures sua-
taintd by a. ball' player. But that is
not the only mark he holds. While
catching for the Mobile club in the
Southern Association in 1915.
‘ Schmidt set a new record for consec-
< ull\e games behind the plate. Mo-
‘bile played 156 games that season
and he caught every inning of them.
I This feat still stands unequaled.
‘ In every year that he served as a
‘ player. Schmidt cau ht in more
{than 100 games. He till carries re-
, mlnlscences of these contests—spike
marks on his legs and chest and one
over his eye, to say nothing of the
broken fingers.
Charley started his career with the
-old Springfield Midgets in 1001. He
was bought by the Detroit Tigers
in 1900 and caught in their world so.
rlea games in 1907-08-09. He was a
first-string catcher for the ’I‘ygers
until 1913. when he was sent to Pro-
vidence in the International League.
"I had a fight with Bughey Jen-
nings and Ty Cobb and that ended
my sojourn in the majors." said
Schmidt.
For 10 years after he was released
from Detroit. Schmidt was a promin-
ent figure in the minor leagues as
player. manager and owner. in 1 :3
he was picked up by Brooklyn to
coach young players.
"Last year I decided that on breaks
was enough for any man." declared
the battle-scarred veteran, "So I de-
cided to take up umpiring."
Schmidt spent the latter part of
the 1924 season in the Western As-
sociation. He was signed this spring
by President Harry Williams as an
arbiter in the Pacific Coast League.

Game with Danbury Team—Expect Rec?
ord Crowd to Attend Contest
The town is all steamed up over
the coming encounter between
Springwood and Norwalk Clubs
which is to take place at Amusement
Park next Sunday,
Not since the enthusiasm caused
by the local city league of years
passed. has there been so much dis-
cussion both pro and can as there is
on the forthcoming game. especially
in the Springwood sect ion where in-
terest has been lax due to the ab-
sence of a ball club representing
them. There has been a complete re-
vivle of interest‘. Everyone knows of
the way they supported their Clubs
in the City league and next Sunday
will find them out by the hundreds
to cheer their team to victory and
let it be known right here that, they
have a Club worthy of their support.
Joe Itforiano and John Kriaco have
worked hard to gather this Club to-
gether but they feel that their effort:
will be double rewarded on Sunday.
Joe feels that ,if he can gain a. couple
of wins over the local Club he can
get a game with Danbury and that
would he just. to his liking for he and ‘
Steve Moore are arch enemies on the
baseball field.
Mickey Welsh is in fine shape for t ’
next Sundays battle and by way of ~-
tuning up pitched one of the finest
games of his career last week against
the Mon-leania Club. The local bat.-
ters who have been silent for the last
week. feel sure that they will go on I
rampant this week.
The game will start promptly at
