PITCHERS NOT BREAKING RECORDS
t 07? FENCES;
.'. ARE MADE
tiTSN'T It funny how the pitchers nre cloutlnjf the ball
1 this year?" remarks a ctirlom customer. "They
nre poling out long hits oVery day and many arc stepping
Into the spotlight ns homo-run hitters Guess they arc
spending more' time In batting practice."
Wo agreed withithe C. C, for at Shibc Park last week
two pltchors socked the ball out of the lot on suceoslvo
days. That mndo us fear that a new record was being
made by tho hurlcrs and the gwndoldopc wfls dragged out
of retirement.
There Is nothing to worry about. The pitchers still
are pitchers, whether It be on the mound or standing at
the plate. No records arc being smashed, and the same
goes for fences. Lost week two Philadelphia pitchers
nladc home runs in Shlbe Park. That was just twice as
njany as were made by all of tho other pitchers In the
American League since the season opened. Tho other
was perpetrated by Jack Quinn, of the Yankees, showing
fat tho home-run pitchers exist within a radius of ninety
miles from Philadelphia. This is the circuit clouting zone.
A pitcher Is a guy who stcpi up to the rubber and is
likely to knock the ball a mile or strike out. If a hurler
ever gets hold of one It goes tar, FAR away, but tho odds
nre about 100 to 1 against it. In the National League,
only one pegger, Shcrdcll, of the Cardinals, has hit for
four bases. However, Alexander is up in front with an
average of .370, Rlxey for some reaon or other Is sock
ing at a .33.1 clip, Nehf .2S0 rind Jimmy Ring .240.
They arc the best in the senior circuit.
Erickson, of the Senators, tops the American League
Pingcrs with .310, Johnion Is next with .2S0 and Carl
MnyB Is hitting ,-uO. There's all the dope on the pitchers.
As soon as one becomes a cousistcut hitter he is promoted
to the outfield or some place like that, like Unbe Ruth.
The llabe, by the way, is hitting them high and far
these days. lie is getting a lot of homers, his total now
being eleven. Still, Ruth is n lucky guy. He is bound
p break his record of Inst year, because home-run hitting
Is popular, the fans like to gaze upon a slugger and the
gate will increase.
TtJHILE not questioning Ruth's ability to hit, for
f he is the greatest slugger the game ever has
Unoicn, tee fear he will be presented with a lot of
"free homers" this year. For instance, if his team
is several runs in arrears near the end of the game
it would be good policy to groove one for the big boy
. and let him kill it. That wouldn't affect the game,
but it would please the fans leho visited the park
i to see Ruth hit.
Cabs Put on Speed
THE feature of last i week in big league baseball was the
work of the Chicago Cubs, who now are leading the
National. Fred Mitchell started oft on a flat tire, got
stuck in the cellar and extricated himself 'only after con
siderable difficulty. All of the breaks were against him
the injury to Hollochcr, Fred Merkle's dead arm, Her
zog's ailment which put him on the sidelines and the fail
ure of Lefty Tyler to come back as was expected.
However, a couple of quick shifts were made and a
lucky deal, which brought Zeb Terry to the Windy City,
virtually made the ball club. Terry replaced Herzog at
Seeond'and is playing such a whale of a game that it is
doubtful If Charley will be back for some time.
t Bill Vceck, president of the Cubs, is strong for Terry.
"Terry's playing at second base has been a revelation."

BUT FOUR HOME RUNS
BY HURLERS THIS YEAR
Ily ROBERT W. MAXWELL
Sports Editor Ertnlnr rubllo Ledger
caused the fans to forget Herzog Is with us. I believe
the combination wc have at the keystone sack now will
prove tho greatest In the league and will make more
double plays than any other pair."
Another reason for the success of the Chicago club Is
Grovcr Cleveland Alexander. Big Alex 'has won ten
straight and looks better than ever. With Vaughn nnd
Hendryx, and perhaps Tyler, Mitchell can spot himself
about seventy ball names and hope that the other pitchers
will come through with the others.
The Giants still are in the doldrums, battling the Phils
for last place. Boston has slumped, as was predicted,
and should stick in the second division from now on.
Branch Rickey has n great hitting club In St. Louis, but
the pitching has not been anything to rave about.
I OOKS like a close race in both leagues this year.
Alt rock Saves the Day
WITHOUT Nick Altrock at Shlbe Park Saturday, tho
day would have been a dismal falluro for the fans.
Nicholas managed to entertain tho folks while Wash
ington was grabbing a pair of perfectly good champion
ship contests from the Macks. His comedy went big, and
the huge audience was kept in such good humor that It
didn't care who won the game.
Altrock has been pulling the giggles out of the mob
for several years, but he never gets tiresome. He has u
personality which takes and his comedy is clever. Nick
plays first base In his own original way, and, allow us
to state, it takes a mighty good ball player to get nway
with It. His back-handed catches can be made only by
an expert, nnd that's tW.
This is not a Mom at the Washington club, but Alt
rock is as big an attraction as the players and probably
more so. He is the one original comedian of the diamond,
never gets rough nnd is the club's greatest asset. May
he live long and keep us amused.
A's Lack Hurlcrs
TF I only could get the pitching," moaned Connie
i. Mack after the double defeat Saturday. "When
the pitching is good we play great ball, but when it
isn't well, look what happened today. Still, 1 have
hopes that some of the youngsters will Improve this sum
mer. They have the makings of first -claw moundsmen
and will benefit by the experience they get.
"Outside of Nujlor nnd Perry, I never know who will
finish the game. Funny thing about young pitchers.
The man you start will blow up nine times out of ten,
and the man who succeeds him will look like n champion.
That's the way it works. After the game has been lost
we get hlgh-clnss pitching. I hope wc discover some stars
in our long trip on the road."
Connie knows what he is talking about, for he has
tried out more outhful hurlcrs than any other two
managers In the business.
McAvoy Asset to Drcxel
BILL McAVOY. former star football player nt'Lafayette
and afterward athletic director at Delaware College,
has taken charge of athletics at Drexel Institute. McAvotf
is an able mnn and should have a lot of success. It was
he who put Delaware on tho map in college nthlctics, and
he probably will do the same at Drexel. He knows foot
ball, baseball and basketball as well as any one, nnd nlso
can Jeach It. Drexel should be congratulated.

And long for the icaves that roar
Where earth and the sea her lover
Embrace on the sandy shore.

And waken in every vein

And freedom and love and beauty.
And hope and desire and strife,
And every aspiration
That quickens the spirit's life.

I'll live and I'll love and die when
The sea and the earth embrace.
