NEWS OF THE SPORTING WORLD
SUGGESTS THAI MAJOR
LEAGUE PITCHERS WORK
Trainer Harry Tuthill Says They Would
Do Better If Compelled to Go Into
the Bos Two Days and in the Out
field Three Days Each Week
Vra iuer Harry Tuthill has come to
bat with some radical ideas that will
earn him the enmity cf the pitchers.
Harry says that the big league hurl
ers would do a lot better work if they
were forced to pitch two games a week
aud play three in the out held. In other
words, instead of having a pitcher get
on the hill übout once in six days and
rest all of the intervening time. Tut
would have him hustling tive days iu
every seven.
The trainer goes back to the "good
old days" for his proof that pleirtly of
toil agrees with a hurler. He points
out numerous examples of ancient
dingers who used to consider themselves
cheated if they didn't pitch th-ee games
a week who invariaoiv were to be
found in the outfield wlie 11 not on the
firing line.
"(Modern pitchers are altogether too
much pampered." said Harry. "They
are the most luxurious class of men in
the world, with only about one day's
work a week and absolutely nothing to
do in the afternoons when they are uot
needed for niouud duty. They' get slow
and "heavy as a result or" so "much idle
cess and are not able to perform in
their best manner when called on. The
records show that most of the pitchers
who have done wonderful work have
been regular workers. Some of the
greatest performances in history were
credited to pitchers who toiled at least
every other day and sometimes had to
pitch every day for long stretches at
a rime.
| "I would not advocate that the
i pitcher be used seven days a week, but
if a manager should get hold of one
who happens to be a good hitter, there
would be no harm in his being used iu
[the outfield three games a week. It
wouhln't hurt his arm to make the few
throws that might be required of him
an<pit would improve his general condi
tion. Out-fielding a# a general ruie is
not particularly arduous work. Some
times a right fielder wiii all lav
without having the ball in his hauds.
Of course, you have to have somefoody
out there who can go and get them and
who can throw, because there is no
telling when these talents will be bal
ly needed. But the actual phvsical
labor is very light.
"Pitchers have a great war of im
agining things are the matter with
them, particularly fellows who arent
any too sure of their jobs. We have
had some on our club who managed to
stall through a whole season just by
thinking up different aches and pains.
Whenever their turns came 'to pitch
they found that something wa« wrong
and *o postponed the day when thev
would have to go out there and show
the manager something. If birds like
'.his were not indulged but were made
to go out cn i fling unless there was
something realiy wrong that the trainer
could locate, the cltrb would avoid
spending a lot of money for maling
erers."

When the new super-dreaduaught Penn
sylvania slipped from the ways into
the historic waters of Hampton Roads
here to-day she took her place in the
iead of the navies of the world as the
mightiest lighting machine a>float.
In sise and gun power the Pennsyl
vania is greater even than the (jueeu
Elisabeth of the British navy, which
led the receut torritiv assault of the
allies on the forts of the Dardanelles.
While tihe >Britisfh monster carries
larger guns, her main battery is only
two-thirds the size of that of the Penn
sylvania in number and the American
battleship is 3,000 tons greater in size.
The main battery of the Pennsyl
vania will consist of twelve 14-iuch, 43 I
calibre rifles, set in four turrets, three 1
guns to a turret, the plan of big bun j
arrangemeut adopted in the sister ships :
which preceded her, the Nevada and i
Oklahoma. Her tonnage measurement is I
31.400 agaiust 27,300 for the Nevada
and Oklahoma and the (jueen Eliza
beth. The latter, however, carries eight
15-inch rifles, 45 calibre, set two to a
turret, while the Nevada an<l Okla
homa have ten 14-inch rifles in ■
two 3-inch gun and two 2-gun turrets.)
In all t'hese ships, including the Penn-!
svlvanis, the turrets are all on the cen
ter line to concentrate their tire on 1
either broadside.
Greater Tonnage Thau British Ships
Five battleships of the British navy
; yet to be launched will have less ton
nape tliau the Pennsylvania, the ships
of the Royal Soverign class being of
24,500 tons displacement, and none will
I equal the Pennsylvania in armament.
| Each is designed to carry eight 15-inch
| guns.
Details of four other British battle
ships, already authorized, are not
known here officially.
Five ships of the Japanese navy, es
timated for in 1914 aud known as the
Fuso class, will not equal the Pennsyl
vania in tonnage with their displace
ment of 30,000 tons, tout will carry the
same main battery of twelve 14-inch
rifles. Tlwey will exceed the Pennsylva
nia in speed, estimates calling for 22
j knots agaiust 2" knots for the Penn-j
; sylvania.
The 1914 estimates for the German
navy call for tliree ships of the Kaiser 1
Predrich 111 class, with a displacement!
of 29.000 tons and carrying eight 15-!
inch rifles.
The British ships of the Queen Eliza
beth class greatly exceed those of any 1
other navy in speed, requirements call-1
ing for 25 knots an hour while the
Royal Sovereign class will make at least i
22.5 knots.
Other Great U. S. Vessels Proposed '
Since the outbreak of the war de-1
tails as to foreigu naval programs have ■
been jealously guarded and it is prob-!
able that Great Britain, Germany and 1
Prance have laid down many vessels of j
which no report has beon made. So far
as is known, however, no vessels have ,
been planned wftich will exceed in size j
the three American ships of the Call- j
fornia class, work on which has barely i
started. These will J ~ve a displacement
of 53,000 tons each and armament'
equal to that of the Pennsylvania. I
The cruising radius of the Pennsyl-!
vauia will be considerably increased by j
the fact that she will be equipped for i
oil fuel exclusively and will have a'
capacity of 2,322 ions of fuel oil. The!
Queen Elizabeth has a capacity of 4,-1
000 tons of oil because of her high I
speed requirements.
j From her enormous main battery the
J Pennsylvania will be able to hurl, with
the pressure of a single tiring lever,
! <'/» tons of steel on either broadside. In
addition she wiil carry a secondary
battery of twenty-two 5-inch rifles for
! fefense against torpedo boats. She will
be fitted also with four submerged 21-
| inch torpedo tubes and her ship's com
j pany will be composed of 65 officers,
: $63 bluejackets and 7 4 marines. The
ship measures 60S feet over all and
97 feet beam and her mean draft is 28
i feet, 10 inches, almost the limit iu size
j fbr the Panaima canal and present
navy dry docks. There are only few
docks iu the world which can receive
her and she could not enter many busy
harbors erocpt under most favorable
conditions of tide and wind.
To Cost More Than 918,000,000
When completed the Pennsylvania
will have cost the government more
than $13,000,000. She will -be ready
| for commission, under contract, bv Feb
ruary 28, 1916, Her keel was laid Oc
tober 27. 1913.
The enormous size of the new ship
, and the startling rapidity with which
| battleship construction had developed,
| even before the great war, is indicated
by comparison of the Pennsylvania i
with tbe British battleship Dread
naught, first of the all-big gun s'hijs
in any navy. The Dreadnaught was es- 1
timated for in 1907. She was designed I
to displace 17,900 tons but actually!
is considerably larger. In the main '
battery are ten 12-iuch guns with a
broadside fire of six guns and her trial
speed was 21.2 knots.
The Pennsylvania will be equipped
with turbine engines as is the Okla
homa, the Queen Elizabeth and ail of
the newest English, German and Jap
anese battle craft. The Xevada will |
be operated by reciprocating engines;
while the California, of the 32,000 j
class, will be driven by electricity. One |
of the other two American battleships i
of the California class will have tur- i
bine engines and the other reciprocat
ing in line with the Navy Department's
policy of not entirely abandoning the
§©u^iyi
I • Superb"' 1
reciprocating type until a thoroughly
satisfactory mariue turbine is found. If
the experimet on the California with
electric ilrive, current to be generated
by steam t-urt>iues running at high
speed, is successful, the engine "problem
may be solved. It already has proved
satisfactory in a navy collier and the
experiment with the California only
needs to determine whether it is equally
efficient in high power plants.
