At DEMAREE A DIFFERENT PITCHER SINCE HE HAS' ADOPTED SIDE-ARM DELI VER
AL DEMAREE'S EFFECTIVENESS
AND CONTROL DUE TO CHANGE
IN HIS STYLE OF PITCHING
.Veteran Has Done Away With Overhand Motion
and Now Uses Side Arm Swing Which
i Gives Him Greater Speed
1,00X11 fans havo been agreeably surprised at the brilliant pitching of Al
J Demareo this season and cannot understand why ho Is mora effoctlvo than
In 1915. Demareo won a number of very Important games for tho Phillies last
season, but It usually required a lot of hitting nnd sensational Adding on the
jlart ofh!s teammates to pull him through. This year, however, Demareo has
keen winning on his merltd, holding tho opposing teams In check by grand pitching.
In 1915 tho fans did not llko to see Demareo go to tho mound because they
felt that It would requlro qulto a lot of hitting to pull htm through, but now they
have mora confidence In tho .former New York hurlcr than nny pltchor on tho
staff, barring Alexander. Wo havo asked fans, who roasted Demareo last season,
but who now admit' that Al is qulto a pitcher, Just why they like him this season
and tho usual reply is, "Ho looks llko a different pitcher."
Wo heard this remark so ofton that wo have paid moro attention to Demareo
recently and havo discovered that ho really Is a different pitcher. Demareo
gradually has changed his stylo of pitching until ho works entirely dlff$ontly than
ho did when ho Joined tho Phils. Tho brainy votoran has changed gradually,
howevor, and that Is why tho difference was not apparent until ho was watched
elosely.
Wally Schang, Mack's daredevil all-round gtar, was a spectator at tho
doublo-hcador with tho Cubs on Tuosday and Wally noticed tho chango In Dem
area's stylo at once, simply because ho had not scon him pitch slnco tho spring
of 1916 at the training camp. Beforo tho gamo had progressed threo Innings,
Schang remarked that Demareo was using Alexander's delivery and had dlscardod
tils over-hand fast ball.
Combining Brains and Brawn
rTUIH Mackrnan hit the nail on tho head when ho said that Dcmaree had changed
J. his style. Al Is not pitching llko Aloxandor, but has & new delivery, partic
ularly suited for his style. Manager Moran says that ho taught Demareo
to swing moro from tho side and to take n longer step. Demaroo Is a smart
pitcher, and after learning that Moran had given him good advice, net fib out
Improving upon his manager's suggestion.
Tho longer stop enablod Demareo to get moro powor behind his owing
and as a result ho now has greater speed nnd a botter break to his fast ball.
Demareo always has had a great curve, but In tho past had so llttlo on his fast
ball that tho batsmen did not fear him. Now ho has a great fast ball and has
not lost his curvo or control.
Demareo la one of tho shrowdest pitchers In tho same, but until recently
had "nothing but his head," as rival playors expressed It. Ho now Is combining
both with excellent results. It Is a raro occurrenco that Demareo falls to mako
pood in n critical gamo. Twlco within tho last week ho succeeded In winning tho
second game of a double-header after tho first contest had boon lost. In each
Instance tho losss of tho second gnmo might havo started tho Phils on a dis
astrous slump, but Demareo each tlmo camo through with a splendid exhibition.
Whonover thoro Is a large crowd present and tho conter field bleachers are
well filled, It la safo to predict that Dcmaree will bo on tho mound. By carefully
studying his own delivery and tho homo field, Demareo can pitch In such n man
ner that tho batsmen cannot seo tho ball until It Is upon them, owing to tho
moving background in tho center field bloachors. Strategy of this sort helps In
a closo raco.
The Flexibility of the Player Limit Kule Aids Brooklyn
TED3 flexibility of tho 21-player-llmlt rUlo of tho National Lcaguo enabled Brook
lyn to gain a victory over tho Reds which should bo thrown out by tho Board of
Directors of tho league. Nap Rucker, who has been on tho disability list for
many weeks, suddenly was pulled off tho Ineligible list when tho Reds wore batting
Dell hard, and sont Into the game. When Rucker was sent to tha mound, Man
agor Robinson stepped to tho center of tho diamond and Informed Umpire Klcm
that Rucker would pitch and that Malls would replace him on tho "disability" list.
According to tho ridiculous rule any player placed on tho Ineligible list" can
not play for 10 days, but is eligible to play at any tlmo thereafter, it not being
necessary to notify tho league ofllco In advance Therefore, when tho gamo started
Rucker was Ineligible, but when needed ho was sent into tho gomq and another
player, who Is In no way injured or disabled, was put on tho "disability" list.
That Malls is not disabled or unfit for regular duty was proved conclusively
or hla presence In Monday's gamo and In tho practico prior to Tuesday's gamo.
Within tho last week Brooklyn has had 22 playors in tho game, despite tho 2ll
player rule. The box scores nhow tho names of Johnson, Wheat, Stengel, Myers,
Mowrey, Getz. O'Mara, Olson, Cutshaw, JDaubort, Miller, McCarty, Meyers, Rucker!
Mal, Appleton, Coombs, Marquard, Cheney, Bell, Proffer and Smith. What is
tho object of tho rulo7
PhiHIcs Going nt Rapid Clip
WHILE tho fans aro Inclined to watch the percontago tablo closely and will
notice that tho Phillies havo not been able to gain on tho Dodgers, thero is
plenty of consolation in knowing thattho hardest part of tho Eastern invasion
of tho Western teams is over, unless the dopeaters havo figured out tho Reds and
Cardinals wrong. '
It was a foregone conclusion before tho Western teams Invaded tho East that
Pittsburgh and Chicago were tho best teams of the West and tho ones which wero
likely to trouble tho champions while it also was conceded that Brooklyn would
bavgo little ttouble with the Cardinals and Reds.
Perhaps tho Reds and Cardinals may upset the dope by winning a few games
from the champions, but If tho Phllly pitchers continue at tho same clip they
have shown since their return from tho West it is likely that tho champions will
pick up a gamo or two on tho leaders. The Phillies have gone through the hard
part of tho schedule, so fnr as lhe Western teams aro concerned, and havo won
seven of tho 10 games played, which Is moro than was expected, considering the
excellent work of the Pirates and Cubs beforo they came here.
Manager Moran sent Alexander tho Great to .tha mound yesterday In order to
clinch the final game of the series with tho Cubs, believing that it was tho turning
point of the season for the champions. Alexander proved that his Blip in the first
game of tho series was merely an off-day by baffling the Cubs for 12 consecutive
Innings.. Mlko PrendcrgaBt, a, former teammate of Alexander at Galeaburg, 111.,
was Alexander's opponent, and If it had not been for erratic support, tho teams
might be battling yet.
Jim Thorpo is endeavoring to convinco major league managers that they made
a serious mistake when they allowed him to drift downward. Jim is playing a
flno gamo for Milwaukee in the American Association. Ho leads tho league in
base stealing and is doing good work In hitting. Recently at Loutsvlllo a line
drive from Thorpe's bat hit tho left-neld fence, the clout being tho longest drive
ver made at the Colonel's park.
George Block, the veteran big league catcher, Is carrying around a much
labeled suitcase. Within the last two weeks Block has been shifted four times.
He was recently let out by St. Joseph to Wichita and a few days later Wichita
teat Wm back to St. Joseph, whence he left for Milwaukee.
Tho Phillies havo won seven out of the last ten games. This Is as good a
record as any one could wish for tha locals. At tha same tlmo Boston and Brook
lynvhave been moviug along at about the same clip, hence the champions have
not made any serious cut In the distance between third place and tho top of tho
column, Alexander's fine performance yesterday, however, is a convincing argu
ment that no matter what happens, the Phillies will not crack under tho strain
end that they can win a game whenever it la really necessary to keep them well
up tn the running.
Monte Cross, a member of the Athletics Jn tho olden days. Is playing semi
pro ball In Philadelphia, Monte still has a good deal of the old pep left and Is
cavorting around In a capable manner, Mltteriing, the former Urslnus star re
cently let out by Connie Mack, also Is playing with the free lancers la the Quaker
City.

TODAY'S SPRINTERS
AS FAST AS THOSE
OF 20 YEARS AGO
o
Craig, Lippincott and Drew
Equal of Wefers and
Others, Says Meredith
COMPETITION NOW KEENER
By TED MEREDITn
Mnny sporting writers and athletic crit
ics take greet dcllnht In comnarlnir our
athletes of today and thoso of 20 years
ago.
They really only And two ovonts In which
the track mon of 20 years back hold tho
upper hand, namely, tho 100 and 220 yard
dashes.
After this discovery, which Is found by
looking over tho track calendars of tho
20 seasons ago, they claim tho sprinters
In 191c have fallen off, but the men In
tho other events havo greatly Improved.
It Is true that some of our best sprlntors
dnto back around 189G; In fact from 1890
until 1900 wo had such mon as Duffy,
Wefers, Kraenzlcln nnd Tewkesberry.
Those men wero truly great sprinters, but
In tho past few years the followers of
sport havo seen somo men who, I believe,
would havo compared favorably with these
mon. Who will say that tho above-mentioned
sprlntors could beat Craig, Drew, I.oomln
and Meyer in the 100 yard dash, or ngaln,
who will dcclaro Wefers far superior to
Craig nnd Llpjilncott, both of whom equaled
Wefers's record?
It Is not that our sprinters havo fallen
back, but It Is that 10 second nnd under
22 seconds nro suoh common occurrences
nowadays that It Is not looked upon with
astonishment Back In 1896 these times
wero rnrely mado by tho amateurs, so
Wefers and his contemporaries wero looked
upon as marvels, which they were, und
their followers have not stopped talking
about their feats yet.
In 20 yenrs wo won't hear much of
Drew, whom I have heard called the great
est sprinter that ever lived, but we still
hear of Wefera who ran 20 years ago.
Why? Because Wefers was doing some
thing which few men wero capable of
coming anywhere near at that time.
Sprlntcra Have Improved
What was tho result or tho records mado
by these men? A new goal or mark a.a
set up for the sprinters and by constant
trying to get to that mark with It as a
gonl tho sprinters hnvo gradually brought
their standards higher until today It Is
not so unusual to have schoolboys doing
iu seconus.
Another thing, every boy who starts run
nlng wantB to be a sprinter, and as a
result you get more men out in this event
than any other. Since competition means
business, you havo the answer In a nut
shell. Then we come to explain the Improve
ments In the other events. The whole thing
can bo placed to tho blame of competition.
Without it and enthusiasm from the follow
ers of sport we would still be back running
In the times and marks of 20 yenr3 ago.
This competition has been In several forms.
The great number of men out for the popu
lar eenta, as the sprints and high Jump,
have worked out the solution In many cases.
wen nave siariea in xneso events and found
they could not toe the mark with the beat
of them, so have taken, jis a consolation, a
less popular event and made good.
A man starting sprinting often will find
his best event Is a longer race and through
experiment finally ho will strike that dis
tance at which he Is best
Make Good Hurdlers
It always has been thought that a tall,
slender fellow makes the best high Jumper,
co from that we get the big fellows out as
high Jumpers. Later they are found to bo
cood hurdlers or broad Jumpers and so on
until wo get a boat of nun In every event,
and this Is what brings down the marks.
Again, the schoolboys have helped the
lowering of these marks a great deaL We
now havo schoolboy leagues under careful
supervision, which helps the boys to develop
properly, so when they get their ago and
strength they are ready to start a good,
rounded athlete, without having to go
through all the preliminary training which
they did years ago.
All these things have tended to bring
down the records until now we are told that
hey have reached their limit Each time
we read of an Intercollegiate, national
championship or an Olympiad meet we are
told that the past was the best ever and
It Is usually true, which only proves that
the limit has not been reached as yet

Faith Is a grand little Institution. Early

lief that it could win a pennant. Hobby
and every man on the club lifted to a
striking faith in final eucccss.
And this faith carried tho team along

Using this faith, Brooklyn today Is tho
most dangerous ball club In tho league.
