B SISLEIl, tho emclent baseball
the St. Louis Browns, Is suffering
N
outfielder on the samo payroll, also
up late trying: to dope out tho
WPIUM
f,lxteen points In his general averase, and Jake, while ho Is holding up his
.not walloping the pill with tho
r early In tho season. Of course thero
,fct of worry If he believes tho
our city. According to tho dope,
clad bats, which are illecal. and
ttr hitting suffered.
aWcordlng to tho story Slsler strolled up to tho plate In the opening game of
UW iMcent series In St. Louis, and Leslie Nunamaker, catcher for tho Yanks,
still (1 a few metal knobs at the end of the hat. $
What kind of a bat ifro ou unlng these IajH, (leorge?" asked Nunamaker.
1m me take a look at It?"
6fc, It's Just an ordinary bat," replied Hlslor. "It Isn't worth looking at."
"But let mo see It," lnslited tho catcher. "I want to look at that row of tacks
af tti end."
'They're not tacks; they're nails," answered George. "This is my favorite bat,
aHt I fixed It after breaking It in batting prnctlce. There is nothing wrong with it."
Nunamaker walked over to tako a good look at tlip damaged part, but Slsler
hurried back to the bat rack, where ho selected another war club. Ho did not Uhe
1 tfcyorlte bat 4n tho series, and as a result his hitting fell off.
SHORTLY afterward Jacobson appeared with another "damaged bat," nnd
onco more Nunamaker spotted It. He asked to examine It but Jake
was as exclusive as Slsler. He too lan back to the bench and used
another bludgeon. And his work at tho plate slumped badly In the games
. Armor-Clad Bats Used by the Browns, Is Claim of Yankees
ACCORDJNG to Bill Donovnn, these patched-up bats vvero responsible for tho
fi. heavy hitting of the Brownies carlv in tho ear. The sticks aro lllegnl, nnd in
th future tho umplro will be asked to bo on tho lookout for them. It Is said that
Meier's bat was dotted with the flat heads of big nulls, covering an area of about
ihj. Inches and having tho same effect as a strip nf steel at tho end. It is much
Mater to meet the ball fairly with n bat like this, and tho driving power is increased
considerably. Slsler And Jacobson belted tho ball all oer tho outfield and all of
tMr hits traveled with terrific speed Had they been allowed to use those bats
all 'Mason Cobb and Speaker would have had a hard time to keep In tho (rout.
Doctored bats are popular with big league placrs, but It Is hard to get away
With them. The opponents aro on the lookout constantly, and it Is seldom that
ajrthlng escapes their notlco. l'rank Thrashei, who worked for Connie Mack
ttp to a week ago, had a favorito bludgeon last J oar which helped him to make
his' record with tho Atlanta Club. Thrasher did not use spikes, however. He cut
loitg grooves at tho end of tho bat which kept the ball from slipping off. Krank
tiacoVered this stunt by acclden'. Ho picked up a metal top fiom a bottlo one
laprning and scraped his bat unconsciously, while talking to tho other players.
Jfe used that bat in the gumo that day and did nut lay it aside all season.
STUFFY MclNNIS is careful about his bats, but he never (Ixch them up
Tho first baseman doesn't havo to. He uses u light stick, evenly
balanced and takes as much care of It as he does of his diamond ring.
Somebody swiped his favorite club early In the season, but Stuffy had u
dozen made and Is well fixed this year. His batting average shows it.
j Umpire Only Czar Left and His Authority Increases
frtlB tottering Kaiser In his best davs was not able to claim class as n dictator
with His Czarshlp, the American umpire, and since the late Czar of All the
Ruselos let fall the Indicator and beat it for the street ahead of the outiaged
populace, the native product has had a clean title to the dictatorial belt.
Regardless of the Inability of the ball plaer to get by the umpire In a dispute.
ha has always seemed to think that It could be done In tho end, as witnessed by
a Marked persistency and enthusiasm of effort. Dit now that tho uihplre, In
aAdtOoa to the prerogative of making an ultimate guess on balls, strikes and
conduct, Is vested with tho authority to decide a ball player's Intention, nnd, in fact,
gpot him out of tho game for good, encouragement to piotest is bound to be reduced.
' Tho recent enactment of the Notional Commission tests In the breast of tho
arbiter of play the right to determine whether or not "bean ball" was hurled
at the bat or at-the bean. Umpires have maateied pu om knotty situations and
conscientious and studious officials may be expected vv thin a shnit while to ills
tin'gulsh one from tho other, but the going is likely to bo difficult foi a while
TIM fact that an adverso holding subjects tho offender to the extreme penalty
pt being thrown out of organized ball is bound to prove an asset to tho umpire's
status as a real ruler, at the same time to reduce the practice of tho gentle art of
-Austin' 'em off."
t A MBITIOU8 umpires, anxious to perform their Increased and more difficult
xjl duties, will find it useful to take special courses in psychology,
palmistry, clalrvoyancy and soothsaying. It will be necessary to lnvoko
all known sciences relating to "dcteckertlng" to efficiently perform 'ho
obligations Imposed by the new and more difficult exactions of "guessing
them off."
Derrill Pratt Holds Big League Long Distance Record
DERJULL ritATT, star second s.ickcr for the St. Louis Browns, Is an all
around athlete whoso work does not attract the attention given mole spectacu
lar performers. Ho Is in thero working nil the time, however, and his recent lay
Off brought to n halt the big league record for distance going, and at tho same
Uw helped attract attention to his all-round aluo as a ball player.
Since Joining tho Brown layout September 2, 1914, Piatt hud never been
tdl a game untlj put out by his recent accident. He had placed in 3G0 straight
games. From his first game he was awarded a position as n reguUu, playing in
thirty games that season. In 1915 and 1916 Pratt took part In the 168 games
played each season and had gone fifteen straight when laid out. .
Pratt Jumped into the Southern League from tho University of Alabama,
wliare he had starred in genwal athletics, having much more celebrity, however,
en the gridiron than on the diamond. His rcord for consistency and for alwas
tMtar in the prime of physical condition was almost as notable in bis first pro
.faaaional experience as In tho big ring. In the two years of his service in the
Southern he missed ptuylng In but two games each reason.
PRATT'S love of the game Is a prime feature of his successful career
on the diamond. His father is a business man of means down South
and entertained an ambition for his son to succeed him, but h'o Is as strong
for baseball as Is his son. nnd takes a great deal of pride in his boy's
success as a ball player.
Fitter a Purloiner as Well as a Pickler
mTJITTBUUIIGH Purchases Pltler" announcod an alliterative headllner a few
J- days back by way of topping a news story of the bulng of the hard-hitting
aoend baseman of tho Chattanooga team by magnate Barney Dreyfuss.
tfhe news story called attention to the fact that Pltler was hitting well over
,M and leading not only his team In batting but the league In which he has been
performing, the Inference being plain that Pltler was purchased for the reason
- t)aat he could pickle the pellet.
That the Dreyfusa find is also a bear at another branch of the sport appears
ta a report of a recent game at Mobile, which Pltler largely won for his side by
perioinlnc the platter a couple of times.

rpHIS Fcems to be a southpaw campaign
Tho two most effectlvo pitchers In the
Kami) are Schupp and ftuth, closely pressed
by Jim VnuRhn. Tho leading batsmen havo
been Speaker, Slsler, .1. Smith, lloush,
Itolke, Hums. Cobb and Mclnnls and sit
of the clcht have been left-hand hitters, ltd
Isn't far from a cinch that a left-hand bats
man will lead both leagues with the wooden
mace and that a left-hand pitcher will lead
uotli leagues In effectiveness or Rames won
It mav be that tho war Is turning the
world upside down, but, whatever the rea
son, the answer is being written every day.
Confidence Counts
The part that confidence playn In sport
draws additional evidence from the case
of Ferdinand Schupp, tho Olant left-hander.
For three vears Ferdy sat on tho bench
as a suhstltuto pitcher No one thought
Perth' was good enough to be a regular, so
Ferdv thought the same And, what Is
moro to tho point, Perdy pitched that way
Ho had lino speed, a fast, haflllng curve and
pretty fair control until some critical mo
ment arrived. Then Ferdy's lack of ronll
deuco tore him npart.
The Start
Last spring McCIraw couldn't find a
pitcher good enough to go fho Innings.
Most of them should have been good, but
they were not So Perdy began to bo In
serted nt odd Intervals.
Finally the southpaw hooked two Rames
In succession That was all he needed. He
had everything clso but confidence, nnd
confidence came with those two victories.
Mctirnvv made him a regular, nnd from tho
dav he l.ei.ime a regular ho was harder
to beat than Walter Johnson or drover
Alexander And this Is no figure of speech,
for vi hen the prebent week swung under
vvav Ferdy hadn't lost n pamo since, last
fall, and In his last defeat ho allowed onlv
two or thrco hits and nothing like an
earned run
An erratic substitute pitcher for three
years, from tho dav ho became a regular
bn also became the most effective pitcher
In baseball Ho was the first ofhem all
to finish a season while permlttlnR less
than ono earned run to the start In some
thing llko fifteen Ramos
Different Type
Schupp hasn't tho powerful frames of
Johnson. Alexander nnd Ituth to carry him
along He Is nothing like ns big ns Mnthew
son and Walsh .Neither Is he one of the
tall and rangy tvpes
Of average height and average weight,
but maller than the nveraRo pitcher, the
fllant star has fine speed nnd the lever
age of a man several inches taller He has
a whlpllko stvle of working And today
there isn't a pitcher In the game with any
greater confidence or ease It would be Im
possible to figure out a quicker or a greater
mental change In a man than tho change
that has come over Schupp In less than a
)ear. Uarrlng some accident ho is almost
Miro to lead tho National League this
season, and. if ho continues working ns he
has slnco last August, ho Is llkelv to hang
up a record of nstoundlng dimensions
