The hottl against these pitchers, accord
lug o Comlskey, Is nothing more than the
result of Micecsx. The sudden ascension
nf ( Icotte to tho role of leading pitcher In
the liaguo Is beyond the understanding nf
the other fellows. They work on the theory
that after ten ears of blg-league endeator
I icotte could not, unless some trick was
discovered by him. become a consistent
winner.
As for Danforth, the batters do not seem
to understand why ho can (-hoot fast halls
past their bats. They think this can be
1,01,0 nly by applying some foreign sub
stance that causes the. ball to perform
strange pranks In Its travel fiom the mound
to the catcher.
Owing to nn error, the Evf.ni.vo LEOOEn

fitc leading batsmen of the American
League. Veach, who occupied Ping's posi
tion In fifth place In Thursday's averages,
connected for only one safo blow In five
trips to tho plate against the Indians.
Tyrus Rnjmnnd Cobb had one of his
poor days, falling to hit safely In one of
his five trips to the rubber The other four
times he cracked out three singles and a
triple. Simultaneously his batting average
took an upward rise of five points and thi.
Georgia Peach Is now leading his nearest
rival for lattlng honors, George Sisler, by
forty notches.
It appears that tho Tiger outfielder will
not only lead the Johnson circuit In bat
ting, but that he will finish the season with
an average above .400. Cobb has hit safely
In his last eight games, and If his current
batting streak Is maintained he will soon
pass the .400 post.
Although Sisler continued his consecu
tive batting tecord, he having hit safely
ono or more times In the last fourteen
games, he dropped ono point from hit
average.
On account of the rain there were no
changes In tho National League batting
race The five leading batsmen of both

WAR IS LIKELY TO CUT LEAGUE
ROSTER TO SEVENTEEN PLAYERS
IF MORE MEN ARE CALLED TO ARMS
Already Thirty Per Cent of the Players Have
Been Affected by War Draft and Few
Will Be Exempted
THAT each big league club probably will
be held to fifteen, s'xtecn or seventeen
players is believed by many who nre looking
toward the future.
War did not hit tho major leagues very
hard this season,-the attendance being nearly
what It was a year ngo except In Washing
ton, where the conditions are peculiar.
But next year It will be different, as It
Is a certainty that virtually every big league
plnyer who Is single or does not have rhll
dren dependent upon hliu will be called to
tho colors.
Already nearly 30 per cent of tho blg
lcaguo players have been called for exami
nation, and It not likely that any will be
exempted except poHslbly some married men
who have families dependent upon them
As a result, the ranks of tho majors will
bo shattered.
Tho Cleveland club already has had six
men drawn, nnd It would bo no surprise
If the second call caught six or seven others,
and It might come about that Jim Dunn
would only have tho older married men of
his team left next spring.
With others of the sixteen blg-league
clubs suffering, some Just as materially,
others possibly not quite so much, It Is
believed a limit of sixteen or seventeen
will be Imposed, as there will not be enough
to go around If each club tries to carry
twenty-live men as at present.
But the outlook Is such that It Is be
lieved a number of the single men who havo
not yet been called will volunteer as hoon
as the season Is over, m ns to be ablo to
pick their branch of the service, and in that
way avoid conscription.
Only Pitchers Come Back
Do they como back?
Connie Mack says pitchers do, but that
catchers, Inflelders and outlleldets, onco they
slip Into tho minors, havo slight chances
of returning to the big show and making
good.
Mack makes an exception of the young
sters who get blg-league trials before they
aro ripe and later on come up to stay.
"Very few players I have tried out thor
oughly and sent to the minors have come
back," said Mack a few nights ago. "Tho
ones who have como back have been pitch
ers, and there always Is a chance of their
making good In tho big league after one
nr more managers havo declared them
through
"Vim see, a pitcher lini a chance t i
chance his stvlo. Say. I havo let a pltiher
go because I havo despaired of his ever
getting control. H gfe to the minors,
vvotka tvvlco a week, gets control nnd then
Ii I rady to stick In the majors. I'erhapi
I have let another go because It seemed
he never would le.irn to Held his position
or keep the baso i miners from acquiring
big leads He goes to the minora. concctH
his faults and comes back to stay.
"I let Dave Danforth go because bo did
not have a curve ball He has not one yet,
but down In tho minors he mado good by
uMng tho finely ball. When they Mopped
him from using that he invented the shlno
ball and lias made good with the White.
Sox. I have known of others who adopted
the spltball n u means of stepping back
Into tho majors."
Connie says that Barber Is one of the
best out Holders he has looked at In ni.uiv
a -day and that there scarcely Is a big
league club In tho country but could ue
him On tho other hand. Crane h:m been
turned over to Minneapolis by Washington
Connie Opposes Shine Kail
Continuing, Mack said:
"Any tlmo I hear of a pitcher coming
back after being dltcatded, I n-k: "What
Is ho putting 'on the ball?' And I ask that
now lu regard to Chief Bender, who has
pitched three Mititouls In a row. I don't
know for sure, but I'll wager be H using
the shine ball Chief Is a piett smart
pitcher and ho would pick up such a ball
mighty quickly.
"Krcd Knlkenberg came back twh'e. didn't
he". Tho emery ball brought him once,
and tho licorice, or shine, ball tho other
time. You cm almost gamble on It that
when nn old-timer comes back ho has some
thing like that up his sleeve and Is not
depending upon tho old legltlmato stuff
"But give me the day again when the
pitchers will stick to the legltlmato nidli
ods, as they did In the days of Addle
Joss, Blank, Bender. Waddell, Matbevvson,
I'owcll, Donohue nnd Bernhard. Of course,
there nre n lot of pitchers now who use
straight stuff like B.igby, Huth, l.eonaid,
Bush, Datenpoit, Caldwell and I'lsher, but
there nre too many using tho spltter and
tho various styles of shlno balls."
