Great Pitching Staff of World's Champions
Will Be Hard to Hit Unless Customary
Green Is Substituted
BEFORE the present season is much older, there Is likely to be it sticiiuous
kick raised by American League clubs over the background painted on tho
concrete wall In centre neld at Fenway Park, Uoston. It Is customary, though
not compulsory, to have the fence directly behind the pitcher In deep centre neld
painted green and almost every Held In the major league circuits coniorms witn
this custom. The green background enables n player to see the ball better.
If there Is any color that la hard on tho eye It Is army gray. This color Ih
Worse than black 'and the fence at Kenway I'ark has been painted thnt color.
Just why this was done Is a mystery, but we have nn Idea that It Is to make the .
great pitcning start 01 mo worms ciiuiiiinuun un iih ...,.wi..v.
With Speaker gone the Ited Sox attack will not be nearly so strong as It was
last year and If Carrlgan's team Is to win the American League pennant, the pitch
ing staff must turn tho trick. Pitching 77 games out of n schedule of 144 on a
field which gives them a decided edge on opposing batsmen should make the
famous staff twlrlers doubly effective.
When the Red Sox become accustomed to batting against the gray back
ground, visiting teams which play only 11 games nt Fenway I'ark will not have
much chance to star as heavy hitters.
Boston Has Speed-Hall Artists
Boston has n staff of fast ball pitchers, barring Foster, who is speedier than
tho average hurlor, and visiting teams will nnd It hard to lilt under any condition.
On a dark day batters unaccustomed to this background will constantly bo In dan
ger of being hit If Ernie Shore or "Dutch" Leonard is on the mound for the
lied Sox.
On opening day in Uoston the Athletic players complained that tho ball was
upon them before they knew It. They believed that Uuth was faster than they had
over seen him or that their lack of practice caused them to swing late. Uut
after a few innings of tho second gamo with Shore pitching, tho Macknicu ills- j
covered tjiat he was keeping his fast ball high and that ovcry pitch was coming ,
out of tho background. I
Unless President Johnson forces the Boston club to paint the fence green or
Bomo color other than army gray, the Red Sox will have a great and unfair ad
Vantage over visiting teams. Not much of an offense will be needed for the Sox
to win at home, as the defense will be wonderful if the pitchers have this ad
vantage. Red Sox Do Not Look Strong Without Speaker
Even with this great advantage If they are permitted to get away with li
the Red Sox do not look strong enough to repeat In tho American League. The
season only has started and Clarence Walker may play such sensational ball that
tho other players may forget Speaker's loss. But at the present time, however.
Boston docs not look like the same team.
Speaker's absence from the g " has Impressed upon Hostonlans that the fa
mous outfielder means to the Red Sox what Cobb does to Detroit; Collins to Chi
cago; Alexander and Cravath to the Phillies, and .Johnson to Washington. Often
a team makes the player, but after seeing the Red Sox without Speaker, one must
come to the conclusion that Speaker made the woild's champions.
There Is little ginger, despite the fact that the team has been playing the
lowly Mnckmen. Every one on the team Is encouraging Claicnco Walker and the
fans aro pulling for him, but it is evident that Speaker's departure has left a
hole which cannot bo filled.
Speaker Was An Important Factor
It is said that there was friction between Speaker and certain members of
the team, but If such was tho case, tho
ball field and the famous outfielder fit in
the veteran aggregation and he was easily the most Important cog In tho machine.
As one Uoston scribe puts It, the Red Sox will have to be favored with super
human pitching to win the pennant without Speaker. Lost year Carrlgan's young
staff showed wonderful form and really carried tho team through. It Is possible
that tho additional experience will make this staff even more effective this season,
but It Is hard to Imagine a corps doing better work than It did last year.
As said before, Bostonians are beginning to realize what Speaker meant to
tho team, nnd some of tho Royal Rooters who have been fairly close to the big
men of the game do not hesitate to blame President Ban Johnson for the deal
Which sent Speaker io Cleveland. They argue that President Lannln did not
want to part with Speaker, but that It was done "for the good of the league."
A Nasty Rumor Being Circulated
Another rumor which Is gaining headway In Boston Is that President John
son owns a great deal of the "stock his former secretary, Robert McRoy, Is said
to own In tho new Cleveland Club, and that Johnson was helping himself" as well
ns "the league" In making the deal. Rumors of this sort naturally will be
circulated whero there Is such general dissatisfaction prevailing, and some one
1h always ready to deny them.
President Lannln says he did not want Speaker and that he had outlived his
usefulness with the Red Sox; but In the next breath he declares that Speaker
is wprth every cent the Indians spent to purchase him. If Speaker is worth
$50,000 -to Cleveland, then he was worth triple that amount to a team which
locked like a pennant winner with him, nnd whose players realize that they have
been weakened 50 per cent, when he was taken away.
If the move was made "for the good of the league." It Is likely to prove a
boomerang. Boston Is a better baseball city than Cleveland and the American
League owes much of Its success to the loyalty of the fans of that city. What Is
more. Speaker alone cannot make a pennant winner of the Indians.
It May Prove a
If the Red Sox should lose the American League pennant by six or seven '
games, It will prove a costly deal for Lannln, as the famous outfielder saves a
greater number of contests with his Melding each season and is directly or in
directly responsible for the winning of twice that number. As the difference
between a pennant yinner, with the world's series spoils, and a second place team
is something like $100,000, to say nothing of tho additional attendance thioughout
tha season, It Is hard to see how Lannln could make the deal at this, time, it
was not a case of saving him from the Feds, who no longer exist, and there tuny
be quite a lot of truth to the opinion expressed by the Bostonians.
J Detroit Pinning Faith in Coveleski
Detroit's chances for a pennant this season depend largely on the form and
consistency shown by Harry Coveleski. the veteran left-hander, who let the
White Sox down with a trio of singles In the opening game. Coveleski at present
is-In wonderful form and apparently has everything that he had when he pulled
Ills famous Giant-killing stunt while a member of the Phillies' hurling staff.
When Coveleski is right, there is not a better pitcher In the game. He has
all the speed, control and knack of crossing the batter that Is possessed by the
best hurlers In the country today. But Covey has always been erratic because
of his varying physical condition. Apparently his arm never troubles hlm, but
at times he' gets In such bad shape that he cannot stand the pace. This was
the reason why he was shunted off several times to the minors after making
a really wonderful showing In the majors.
As long as Veach, Cobb and Crawford keep up their safe volleying, Jennings
need not fear pf losing many close games. But he must, have good pitching to
win, Just as any other club must, and to have this during the present campaign
it la essential that Coveleski keep In condition to take his turn in the box.
The Pennsylvania State League has decided to retain the salary limit of
12500, which was adopted at the last meeting. This is an unusually high limit
for a league of this sort, and If the clubs, In searching for the best available ma
terial, go the limit, the fans can rest assured that they will see high-class minor
league ball. There are at least two cities In the circuit as composed now which
never have been able to support teams with a larger salary limit than that carried
by the old Trlstate League, but with greater interest being shown In the game
everywhere, each may enjoy a prosperous season.
Manager McGraw is so well pleased with the work of his Federal Leaguers
(hat be has signed another. The veteran Bill McKechnle. who managed Newark
Feds last season, is McGraw's latest additipn. He has been signed because Mc
Craw fears that Hans Lobert has played his last'game. Lobert's legs have been
n poor condition for two years, and the dislocation of the5 knee, which has
troubled him for several seasons, probably will finish the former Phllly player as

.
Charley Herzojr has started overworking his pitchers already. Apparently
there 13 no such a thing as a relief twlrler, whose special duty It Is to stop rallies,
s Herzog has two of his stars on the mound each afternoon. The Reds have a
pitching staff whieh may make them mighty dangerous If Herzog does not
lose sight of the fact that the race Is of 151 games and not me month.

Moore, tho third baseman, who Is a vet
eran, and ho Is only a junior. All tho

a arsity uniform. Moore has been play
ing a bang-up fielding game at tho hot
corner anil, in the contests In whloh ho
has noted as captain, has proven himself
a good general. Larry Murdoch, who la
the only senior on the squad, Was recently
replaced In right field by Ad Hwlgler.
Coach ThomuH probably will depend
upon cither Splclman or Cross to do the
work fiom the firing line, wbllo Havot
