Rickard-Not Worried.
NEW YORK. Juno 8.—-Tex Rick-
ard said today he is not worried con-
cerning the State Athletic commis-
_ sion's threat of disliarment over his
‘- aegotlations for a. heavyweight title
match between Jack Dempsey and
Gene Tunney.
, Furthermore. the promoter added.
', ho is not yet prepared to reveal his
plans to the fistlc fathers. Ho inti-
nated. however, today he may vi~
. sit the seams next Tuesday and
sketch his plans for official review.
“I have never officially made
public my plans." he said today.
“And I believe Chairman Farley
li‘ould have withheld judgment in
1, the case until he hears directly
from me just what I plan to do."
Rickard said today he would be
busy on his rrrungements for the
“ Stribling- Berieiiiach light-heavy-
might championship fight this
week and could find no time to visit
the commission unless summoned.
The greatest mistake any pitcher
can make is to hurry his spring
training. Take your time in the
s‘priné. If you have the proper
amount of stuff yon need have .no
fear for your job.
. -”1‘i-ylng to quickly condition tho
'. arm often proves a. costly mistake.
iTho arm gets sore and the pitcher is
. let go before he really has a chance
.3 to prom his worth.
A great many pitchers have been
1 raised in the spring. In a desire to
‘4 impress their manager they force
. themselves. This is particularly
’. true of the recruits. It works the
reverse in most cases.
As the pitcher seeks to gradually
work the arm into condition in the
, spring. so he must save it during
the season, after he has gotten it
into tip-top shape
‘»The wise pitcher cares nothing
’bout strikeouts. However. I have
in doubt but that early in the career
. 1 every pitcher a. goodly number of
trustrikeouts in a game always had a
.strong appeal. I had a. few such

out every man that faces him.
Just as soon as I leliiied the les-
son that there were eight others in
the field. all willing. yes anxious. to
help retire the batters. I became a
better and more successful pitcher.
Don't putalllyour stuff on every
ball pitched. Always try to have
something in reserve for‘ the pinch.
“Bearing down” on every ball takes
much out of a pitcher and slio tens
his career.
Breeze along in easy style as long
as the bases are empty. When they
got clogged. when a. base hit means
,the ball game. call on the stuff you
should have in reserve.
Work your hardest in the pinches
only.
DIAMOND DISPUTES DECIDED
(By Billy Evans.)
Fly bull strikes hands of left
holder. who is unable to hold the
ball. lie so deflects it that the cen-
ter fielder backing up the play com-
pletes the catch before the ball
touches the ground. When can
base-runners start to advance on
such splay?
O O O
In somd quarters the belief' exists
hat on such it play runners who
have held their bases cannot ad-
vance until the ball strikes the
hands of the player who actually
completes the catch.
This is incorrect: In the play
cited runners who have properly
held their bases on a fly ball that
is ultimately caught can start to ad-
vance the moment the bail strikes
the hands of the first player touch-
that the pitcher must try to strike
ing lt.’in this case the left fielder.
