On the average the star is a fast worker, with few false actions, witn no un.due waste, with nervous tension not permitted to grow through any ex tended delay. And this goes for more games than one. There Are Pitchers — In baseball the fastest working pitching we have ever seen was that of Christy Mathewson. When Matty worked, as a rule, you could figure the span of the game ,*rom an hour and thirty minutes to an hour ahd forty minutes. ' He wasn't out there posing or chewing on the ball or making extenoe flourishes. His idea was to pitch. Having line control, he wasted few tnro ... What he did counted. The result was a short game. Walter Johnson and Alexander are both along the same lines. Neitlie a slow, deliberate worker. Both hustle their games along and rarely e\ er go beyond an hour and forty minutes to achieve their ultimate destli '"(SamesMO delayed and held up by slow pitching more than by'any factor. And when the stars are pitching there is always less delay, with exceptions. , In Golf Verv few of the great golfers belong to the deliberative, lagging 'VPe- Travels, Ouimet and Evans step up, hit the ball and 'along. =0 Gardner travels along at a fast clip, taking very Uttle time *° r .£' 8 f ®s , iat John G.

Delay and deliberation are too often merely a strain upon nervous energy. Winter League Stuff Baseball has been too badly frozen since opening day to Rive the genial dope any logical outlet. Conditions have been entirely too ad%erse to judge clubs or individuals. , . ... r,.!... With Joe Jackson under .240, Eddie Collins around .-30, Frank Baker way off and other stars far out of gear, several weeks ma) follow beroie the depressed athletes get going at normal speed. Detroit, with a team batting average of .202, is a joke. club that num bers Cobb, Veach, Crawford and Heilman belongs around ..60. The tigers led the American league upon attack last year, being far stronger than t e Red Sox in this respect, but the same club up to date through the cold and chilly spasm has looked like an orphan asylum with the pip. Figures compiled in the presence of cold winds, abundant rains and other annoying details mean very little. Yet all these ba ™'° a des ha\ bothered Tris Speaker to any notable extent. And so far the> ha\en tan noyed Eddie Housh in any noticeable way. . „ . Baseball, being a warm weather game, will only produce true form among the morose athletes when warm warm weather arrives. Add "If" Stuff \ And how about the Tigers?— Perhaps they would give up If in their box were Johnson, And Ruth and Shore and Schupp! Just one more little secret— \ The golf champ would be me If I could drive like Evans And putt like Jerry T. "The suggestion has been made that golf courses be plowed up." Golf courses have been (Wowed up for the last five years—the only difference be ing that a mashie and a niblick have been used by the energetic duttei in place of a plow. "No man." savs Colonel William A. Sunday, "could ever be called a greater pitcher than Mathewson. But if any one pitcher could be called as great the name would be John Clarkson, the nopareil of his decade. One assignment that we would never care to take would be the job of proving that any certain pitcher was a greater workman than Mathewson—a more valuable pitcher or a greater one. "You have never answered my query." writes a "as to which of the fwn is the greater intielder —Jack Barry or Arthur Fletcher. How about it° Comparing a second baseman in the American League with a short in tll( T National League is no plum-colored job. Fletcher Is much the best man on attack, with Barry just a trifle steadier on infield play. Both are aggressive, valuable types, but their daily assignments are too far apart to call for any complete diagnosis.
