I e" , 13VE2UXU L'UBLIC LEDGEK-PHILADELrHJLA, A10SDAY, APRIL IS, 1921 The Hardest Ball for Lee Meadows to Hit Used to Be a Baseball, Said Manager Bill Donovan Wv!SS!n: r LEE MEADOWS FOOLS DOPE BY NOT HITTING A CCORDING TO HO YLE Phils Bespectacled Hurler Proves That Uc Is One Pitcher Who Can Slam the Ball Instead of Falling Down Regularly at Bat IJy ROBKRT V. MAXWEU port V.dltor Kvenlnr. Public I.eeUer ACCORniNO to our very- best -known nutborltlrs, the definition of n base ball pitcher is "n person vlio Is tolerate! on a Imll club because nt times he cn throw 11 bnll over or nearly over tlic plnte. Ontwi.lr of that ho is nbso Jutcly unless utid cannot be .lepemlecl upon, espceln ly while at bat. Moua ge.rs nre forced to use these person. In the line-up because the rules say so. Aside from that, there in no reason. ,,.,,, i ! ' l.ee Meadows was the created living example of this clear unci concif-c definition for many years. He rould leave the dugout, walk to the homo plate and get bark ngntn to the dugout in faster time than nny other athlete. I.ee had plenfv of apeed lie ntll admit that himself-but he never lined i on the bnsc. In order to demonstrate hnse-runnlng ability one has to get on bar. One dav. 1" batting practice down South. Meadows was at bat and bavins his usual success. He waved his bat with the ease and grace of on expert, and after they ehaed him nwiij the pitcher told bin troubles to tt lid V lljtim Donovan, the well-known manager. "Wlljum," asked I.ee. "you have watched mc in battniK practiee. AMint kind of a ball is hardest for me to hit?" ".V bakcball." replied Wlljum shortly , and the Interview ended then and Thus tt ran be seen that Meadows tried to Improve his condition in life. He refused to admit the other pitchers had him licked, and just lived and hoped for the day to come when he could -how his critics he wns Just an good, if not better, than his own personal opinion of himself. That chance came Saturday at the Phils' park. Il was In the eighth inning and the game wob close. The Phils were only seven runs abend, but that meant nothing, because the (Hants hnd another inning to go. Meadows realized it was up to him to do something and make the garni- safe. Snllee was pitching and tnilled a derisive, scornful smile when he hap pened to notice who was standing nt the plate. He breezed a cou(.lc over and then came the biggest surprise of the lii'Jl season. I.ee saw a bnll coming, closed his ees. took n mighty swipe and connected fairly The ball hit his bat and. with the speed of a bullet, onlled over the heads of the outfielders and did not stop until it landed in the pocket of a fan in the left field bleachers. It was a home run. the first of a long and earnest career, but it broke up a friendship of manj seasons. Whenever a pitcher wishes to iiiMilt another pitcher he makes a base Int. - If he desires to carry it further than that, rub it in and scratch the name oil hi list of acquaintance, he makes a home run. 5LIM SALI.EE imt sad and morateful Saturday night irhen he left Intcn. He couldn't believe I.ee Meadoirs rnnld be utility of such a taicdnim trick. Voir they linnritl speak to ench other, accord ing to the rules of the pitchers' union. PhiLi Play Like Regular Club KI.T. that's so much for o much. The next question is full of nngl r.iiiv "WhBt'n thp matter with the Phils this year-'" Tho answer is. nothing lb the matter with the Phils this year. Those, who observed the conflict on Saturday will sb the ball Hub is very much to the good. The pleyers pounded the pill, ruined three (iiunt pitchers and wo a ball game. No ball team could have done more than that in iiii afternoon, except ruin more pitchers Kvcn a worm will turn, but when it turns it still remains a worm. Kvcrybodv knows that Hut on Saturday the lliil.s turned and did Xffl net or pla'v like the Phils. They concealed their identity, plajed Teal, regular baseball, made the New York Ciants look like Woolworth cast-off and now can be found present and voting In the winning column. There was a punch In the pinch. Not one opportunity was overlooked on the attack. Pardon the enthusiasm, but almost perfect baseball was plajed. K'rlnstanee. take the first inning. Two men got on and somebody hnd to drive them home. Wrightstonc did this with u snnppj single. In the second frame two more local heroes were on the sacks. .lohnnj Kawlings socked the biugle which counted two more.

Connie Casts Vote for Catchers YOV can prove nlmost nnj thing chemlcallj, scientifically, mathematically or by knocking tho other fellow down and walking on his ueck when everything else fails. There are just a few times that none of these methods will answer, and one of them is to dope nut whether n great catcher can make the pitching look good or whether good pitching makes n poor catcher seem great. Every once in a while some pop-eyed bug comes along with tho argument that n pitching staff looks like a gang of world beaters simply because the backstop handling their deliveries is a star and Wee vera, which is slang for reverse Knglih. i You don't have to look far to dig up material for an argument eitber way. We asked Connie Mack about it unee and the full louder of the old world cham pions cast a vote for the catchers That wns In the old dajs when Bonder, Coombs anil Plank were tossing them into the big mitt of Ira Thomas and Wally Seining. Since then the Macks have slipped Tonnie has had a great catcher in C'y Perkins one of the greatest in baseball, but the pitchers have looked bad. so that's that. To use the famous expression of the Venus do Milo. on the other hand, when ilid Brooklyn ever hae a great catcher? The Dodgers hate the greatest pitching staff in the game, but their backstops, Kxuger and Miller, arc ordi nary, oh, very ordinary receivers.

I will tell to you what I think about thin, you call him' Dempsee. and our Car ponticr," xvns the first response of Conch nel.lllva when we nsked him what he thought of the chances of Cnr pentler ngalnst Pcmpsey in the fight to be held on July 2. Monsieur Bene Ocl.lliva is the tutor of the French relnj foam which nrrlved In this city Saturday night n few hours after they landed In this country to compete ngainst the cream of Ameri can colleges in the t'niverslty of Penn jlvnnln relay gntues to be held on I ranklln Field the last Friday and Saturday of this month. Along with the coach came Maurice Dclvnrt, Gaston Ferry, .Tenn Soitrin, linger Blget and Robert (Jotiilleux. The five athletes n- all students of fhe I'niversity of Pari nnd benr n marked resemblance In their deportment to the in'ornire American collegian. Tho speed merchant outfit from gny Pnroo appeared In a body at Franklin l'Je'd this morning for n tryout. The I'renchmen got Into their running togs nnd appeared on tho track long enough to have a look. They dashed up and down tho soggy cinders for a few min utes, but their conch soon called a halt. In mow of the raw wenther, it was decided to wait till this afternoon when It wns hoped fho sun would come out sufficiently long to dry things out and give the foreign invaders n chance to tune up a trifle. This afternoon's workout wns scheduled for 4 o clock. "How do jou like the track?" the French coach was asked. "C'ct bleu er whnt jou fell, swell, n'est ce pR?" replied the tutor. "I find it nice, very nice, We huve much pleasure to se,. everything here. Wo like It xerj much." The question asked nbout Cnrpentler was put to Monsieur liel.illvn nt din ner Saturday night in the St. James' Hotel shortly after the arrival of the Frenchmen. With n broad smile tilnv- ing on his sunburned features, the conch continued his answer to the question. Will Beat I)empse "M'sieu Carpentier is to win, I think. All France hopes that he de feats your man Dempsee. It should be the grnnd battle, jou call It. We have not seen much of Cnrpentler during the last few months. lf spend his time going round to other countries to show how clover a Frenchman can be. If the fight Is. Eby, whnt you call It?" di recting his question to Earl Eby, the captain of the Penn learn, who acted as Interpreter when our A. E. F. French was unintelligible. "Yes. on the square. I think (loorgos will win. All France expects (loorgos to be the champion. He is a great warrior and wo all feel confident that France will have the next champion. I nm sorry that I cannot see Carncntier tieht Dempsee, for it would be the great fight." After tht oysters and soup hnd been done nwuj with the coach was asked more questions, nnd he answered them with nil the tusc nnd grace of a states man used to meeting newspapermen nil his life. "You fellows nsk so many questions," he said. "You know xxhen I left the boat a New York journalist even usked me tho color of my stock ings. It wa!( funny. And photograph ers and cinema -men. They kept me erj nervous " Speaking of Iiih plans, the conch snld, "I will take my men out to your Franklin Field for practice, and then jou win sec that I have five very excellent men Thej will run every afternoon I do not know whnt my team will lie Dehnrt and Ferry are the only ones who ore certain.
