BROTHERS SCARCE IN MAJOR LEAGUES Wheats, Milans and Coveles- kies Only Families to Break Into Big Show MINORS HAVE SEVERAL There are many ball-playing brothers In the minors and In simlpiofessional ball, but few brothel s ever Invade the major leagues, and the case of Stanley and Harry Covelesklo is imbrue, because both nre latcd ns stars, and both uio pitchers. But the Oovelcskle bos nro by no means tho only hi others' under contract with bis, leaguo teams this year Clvdc Milan, the outlleldlug star of the Washington Club, has u brother on the Fame team, and the brother, Horace. Milan is also an outfielder Though the younger Milan Is not a regular, he Is, nevertheless, being kept on tho payroll by Clarke Grlfllth becauso ho has shown Grift something, and' tho tl.nc may come when the two Milan boys will play uldo by side In tho regular line-up. Two other brotheis aie drawing salaries' from a mnjor league team this season Zach and Mack Wheat, of tho Dodgers, nr th lads, and President Kbbets has had a string to both of them for several seaous. The Wheat brotheis play dlfTeient positions, for Zarh c.ivoits In the outer guldens, whllo Mack Is a catcher, und a Pood one, too. So the Covele.-kles. the Milans and the Wheats havo something to i row about, for when a ball-playing fnmll sends two of Its' membeis to the big show It bus tho right to claim distinction In the minors this year there Is a case where three brothers may bo found playing hall, though not In tho same class. Otis Crandall Is pitching in tho Coast League and his brother, Karl, Is a member of the Salt Lake Club of tho same circuit. A younger brother of this pair has bloomed nut as a pitcher and, although he has had several trials with big minor lengun teams, he Is still getting his education ill tho smaller mlimr leagues.

The fans want to know and so do thn ball players except tho pitchers. Hasp stenllng on n straightaway basis, that Is. without u man on third, or without the double mivii, neither of whbh Is meant when the fan speaks of stealing. Is becom ing a negligible quantity in the National League, nnd thereby the gamo In that cir cuit has lost ono of its most spectacular feature J Max Carey, the Pittsburgh outfielder, tin extraordinarily fast runner, led thn National League thieves hut ear with slxty-threo thefts; Benny K.mrf was second, with loity. and the aged Bob Heseher. of St. Louis, lecently shunted to Milwaukee, was thltd, with thltty-nlne. Cutshaw led the Puperbns, ns usual, with tvvtntv -seven. Compare, those figures with the thefts by the stars In the Ame-ienn League, mich as siuy-elglit for Ty Cobb, foitj-sW for Mar sans, of St Louis; forty for Eddie Collins, thlrty-flvu for Trls Speaker, and so on. Tho American I.fiiguo had n total of t.ii stolen buses last year and the Na tional League a total of 1328, a difference, on the average, of about eight thefts per team In favor of the American Hnlk Rule ltcspoiisible One und all. both National and American League player) say that the steady decline In base stealing In the National Lengun since Boh Beseher bet tho record with eighty thefts in 101 1 and followed with slxty-scven In JS12. after bteallng seventy In 1H10, Is due to the laxity In enforcing the ball: rule In the National League. Tho pitchers in this circuit, say the players, are allowed to get awny with murder An authority n fie subject Is Chief Meyers becauso no Is the man behind tho plate and has to nip the thieves. Says the Chief: "Nowadays virtually no attention u unlit to the catcher In figuring on a stolen base, unless It Is known that he Is suffering from a lamo nrm or Is otherwise handicapped. It Is presumed that n major league catcher can get any l minor, barring wild throws, unless that runner has gained a full step or morn on ti-.-. pitcher "The pitcher Is the, man who Is studied by the wholo ball tenm. McGruw was one of the first. If not tho first, managers to appreciate the enormous value of studying nn- um-imsriiius movements nf the pitcher, which Indicate when he Is going to serve the b.ill to the batter. Every pitcher has such a mnvcmint hut wo aie often a long time finding It out For Instance Brookl.vn used to havo a pitcher named Cliff Curtis, who had an excellent move toward first and was a hard man tn steal on until the Giants dlscovcied that when he was going to throw to the plato he Invariably dropped his head Just a trifle, as if in deep thought. Artor that I could steal on him, and I am no gazelle. Pitchers Have Them Fooled "To offset tho advantage galnid by the runners, by studying their unconscious moves Hint Indicate their Intention to serve the batter, the National League pitchers have acquired astonishingly deceptive moves that fool the man on llrst or compel him to stand flatfooted In order to e.'capo being caught off his bilance toward second If the pitcher shoots to first "This branch of pltrhing has been devel oped by leaps and bounds In the last three or four or even tho last two venrs. U is far ahead of anything Beseher had to con tend with when he stole olghty bases In l'Jll. Very exceptional runners who com bine with their speed the intuition and tho mechanical knack of balancing themselves for a start, to say nothing of ndeptness In sliding, may steal many bases from year to year In this league, hut It Is hecom- I-rdlnarv mi'?0"11. from a l 7 tor th. rteiTi? .L'LV:''.
