hurling the baseball In a week,
yenr or two. .It has to be his natural
motion. Thl- Is principally because the
sUc-ann delivery Is believed to bo harder
to control than tho moro natural over
hand motion of the arm.
Control Is the one groat asset ror any
pitcher. If he can't place the baseball
just about where he wants It to bo. he
mlaht Just ns well glv up bis league
ffl Hli. A man may have all the curves
a I "peed In the world, but they won it
get him anywhere In his. P-0''0""";
less ho can control them. 1 worked hard
for several seasons to learn to hit tho
mark 1 shot at. but once I got the eon
trol I managed to retain It pretty well.
And I nm telling the truth when I say
that the control of my curve ball did not
bother me nearly as much as It did to
get tho fast one where I wanted It to go.
That's my principal argument agaliist tho
thcorv that tho curvo ball will wear my
arm out. It Is the easiest delivery for me
to control and for thnt rent-on I plton it
more naturally than I do the fast one.
I have been able to bo through nine
Innings on days when my curvo ball was
not breaking properly, nnd on other days
I have won when my fast one old not
have its accustomed xlp. But I always
am seriously hampered and usually de
feated If my control happens to bo poor.
When I say that my control was poor,
I do not mean that I could not set tho
ball over tho plate. I could get It over
too well probably I should say, L had to
Bet It over. In these days, a pitcher
doesn't think he has control when he
shoots the sphere over the heart of the
home plate. He Is satisfied only when he
In cutting the corners or placing his
pitches where ho knows the batsman
can't hit them effectively.
Control has kept many a pitcher on a
big league start when his arm was about
gor.e. He placed the ball where he
wanted It to go and where he knew the
batsman couldn't bang" It. And ho got by.
That's why you hear It said that "So and
so Is all In, but he's getting his big
cheeks on the 1st nnd 15th because he has
a head." A wise set of brains will win
a ball gam where curves and speed will
full that Is. when the brains arc com
bined with good control

hit hard nnd It has been said. "Well.
he's losing his effectiveness. Ho must
hi overworked, "or lie's using too many
curves." Tho trouble was that I did not
have my nccustomed control. I do not
mean that I Issued mnny base on balls;
the chances are I did not walk n. mar..
But I could not find the corners. I cither
hurled the ball away from the plate or
directly over the mld'dle. And at the
samo time I had as much "stuff" u I
eicr hail In my life.
I mention nil these things to prove to
you thnt It Is not necessarily curve ball
pitching that makes a man Ineffective.
Manager Moran, of our club. Is strong
for slde-arin pitchers when they have
control. And he gives as his reason
that when, they can put tho ball where
they wnnt it to go, they "bend It" more
naturally nnd gracefully and don't hurt
their arm. '
There la nothing remarkable nboutmy
control of tho curve ball. Why shouldn't
I get it where I want It to go when It
U my easiest delivery. I have my own
system for keeping my" arm In shape
and retaining my control. One custom
of mine Is never to take a day off nfter
I have pitched, unless It happens to be
a Sunday when ho nro playlne In the
Kast, and then I like to get some sort
of exercise. When Tny club plays the day
nflei- I hnvo worked, I chase files In the
outfield, bat fungoes and work out the
stiffness. I don't pitch mueh because
that doesn't seem necessary for me.
I repeat that curvo-bnll pitching should
not cut short the career of a side-arm
fllngcr. And, If I am fortunate in other
ways I mean do not suffer Injuries I'll
show you an arm that will bo strong for a
good mnny seasons. My baseball fortuno
depends on my control, as does that of
any other pltcheii When I can retain
that, I'll let somebody else worry about
my urm Kolntf back on mo bcc-auie of
the unnecessary "hooks" I deliver.

GARDNER AND TjRAVERS HAVE HAD
CAREERS SIMILAR IN 30LF WORLD
Both Men Took Walter Travis' Measure Early in Thett
Careers Present Titleholder Is Favorite Among
Club Wielders Throughout Country
By GRANTLAND RICE
The careers of Bob Gardner, the new
amateur golf champion, nnd Jerry Ttnv
era, open champion, In one way at least
are nllke. Travers was the first Eastern
youngster to beat Walter J. Trnvli, back
In the dnys when the veteran was crush
ing nil opposition w-lth conaummato eas.
From the year that Trnvcrs beat TrnUs
the youngster began to rise until he had
achieved more1 golf glory than nny other
amateur In tho land.
In tho same way Bob Gardner was the
first Western youngster to defeat the re
doubtable Travis, proof of rnrc golfing
tiervo, even when a mere broth of a Ind,
as Sandy McPherson might say. Gard--ler
bent Ttnvls seven years ngo at Glen
View, Chicago. A youngster of only 18,
ho catni) from behind nnd squared tho
match with the veteran on the Mth hole
and won on tho 37th. Shortly nfterward
Gardner won his tint nmateur cham
pionship unci Walter J. ngnln fell beforo
tho Yale star's brilliant piny.
WOrtTHY CHAMPION.
Thcro wero upsets gnlore nt Detroit,
but It wns no freak turn thnt put Hob
Gardner on top. He belongs with those
who sit with the mighty. He hns the
skill, he hna more power with both wood
nnd Iron than any other amateur and
no one hns a atonter heart under fire.
Any rann who enn consistently carry
over 2.10 yards from the tee or who enn
piny ii half Iron from I'O to 2(0 yards
without effort must have unusual power
In his wnllop.
Gardner has this beyond any man In
the game. It Is more than probable that
thin tremendous leverage came from hl
polc-vnultlng years, where ho was able
to lift his hody over 13 feet. Ills arms

-Apprentice allowance claimed. Weather,
clear; track, good.
Ing, nnd coming hard and fast. But thi
Phillies havo been hanging on with re.
niarkahle tenacity, nnd for the next threa
w-eeks thp game should produce) one ot the
finest stretch battles In years poaslbly
the finest since Giants, Cubs and Pirate
tore up the road In IMS nnd tossed dust In
all nine directions.
THE WORTH OF AHTHUn NKHI
If the Braves successfully defend their
chnmplonshlp It will be largely through
the work of Mr. A. Nehf, the spectncular
youngster who came to Stalling Just at
the proper moment Nehf has already
produced three victories that . came at
highly Important moments.
If he maintains anything approaching
tills clip Stalllngs will havo a big advan
tage over .fornn In pitching strength-the
most vllnl part of any battle down the
stretch. The late Addle Joss used to fig
ure pitching 50 per cent of a ball game.
Wo can't unite extend the percentage
that far, but It la nearly always tho con
trolling factor down the stretch, whers
all hands nro at high tension and where
rngged pitching Im sure Jo be fatal. For
a cltth nt 'tlgh tension will break much
fnatcr before bail pitching than It will
In orillnnry dnys. when a ball game I
mostly n romp to while nwny a sultry
summer afternoon.
FOB THE PHILLIES TO WIN.
For tho Phillies to win, Demaree, nixey
and Mnycr must come to Alexander's help
with n supply of winning stuff, for with
lludolph. Tlor, Nehf and Hughes. Stall
ing can bank on sound pitching the rest
of tho year as good pitching as he got
last fall, when the Big Threo were no
moro formidable than n select so of Siege
Guns loaded to the muzzle, or snout, as
the enso may be.
Alexander, ns great ns he Is, can't hold
his club up for a month, but with fair
outside aid he can make the finish one
of those scnln-llftlnir affairs thnt mnv.
j nlong In the fanatical memories of after
What with golf and tennis over this
Wfek. there will soon bo nothing left In
sport but pennant tnecs, world .series and
a lot of football Carats. The onlv da.
prslng effect which thlst brings la the
much golf never over once a week, nnd j thought that baseball's winter league Is
so enters only one or two tournaments
w.ch year. This makes his victory nil
the more commendable, for his game had
not been developed Into machine con
sistency through hard practice and a
great deal of piny.
THE RISING WEST.
The West mmle it clean sweep In golf,
vtlrnlng every Important competition
stnged. Tho East wns overwhelmed.
Now It rcmnlna to be seen shortly what
section will produce the new lawn tennis
clmmplon. nnd If the West wins here it
will bo n red-starred year for the vast
expanse thnt reBts under tho setting sun.
It might nlso be remarked that the
Went in furnishing both sections of the
big battle lo be stnged In New York on
Saturday, when Packer McKnrlnnd. of
Chlcngo, meets Mike Gibbons, of St. Paul.
! There will he no lulerrectlonnl stuff here,
J iim thu West claims tho winner howsoever
tile tide of battlo goes.
At present the Western front Is doing
bettor than the Eastern front In America
just ns It Is In Europe.
WHERE THE EAST PREVAILS.
But thcro is one place where the East
prevails this gay and giddy year.
The world frerlcs lematns along the At
lantic seaboard. You can figure the lied
Sox already In so far as tho American
Lehgue iuce goefc, and now it Is mainly a
(tueetlon ns to whether the Bed Sox will
face the Braves or Phillies. Or, If you
live In Brooklyn, you can add on the
Dodgers.
At this stage last fall the Braves were
neck and beak with the Giants, but It was
a foregone tip as tn what would happen.
The Braves were coming and the Giants
were olnc.
Nineteen hundred and fifteen presents a
different problem. Tho Braves arc corn-
only some six weeks nwny. Here's where
the pest exterminator should awing In at
top speed.
