John Kling, Catcher
John Kling, the Cubs' famous catch
er, still receives credit for knowing
11 of the fine points behind the bat.
Kllng war asked the other day to
give a talk on the scientillc methods
pmployed In baseball, and this is what
ne said:
"When I was a pitcher In semlpro
!csslunal teams around Kansas City
! lost many games by trying to do too
nurh, by throwing too often and by
fearing myself out by wasted efforts.
; was a failure as a ball player in
teveral towns before experience
iaught me that one play at the right
natant is worth tun at any other
"When I begnn catching one of the
frit things I learned wus that the
fatcher can break up a team quicker
ihan anyone else can. lie need not
tven make an error to do It. One of
Ihe easiest ways to loso a game is for
!he catcher to throw too much. He
Jiay throw perfectly, and yet by keep
ng the Infield moving and out. of po
rtion, expecting his throws and study
ng him instead of watching t he bat
irr he may cause the game to be lost.

SLOW CALL THING OF PAST
Christy Mathewson Says Style of

Christy Mathewson is of the opln

"When I broke Into the big league,"
tald Christy the other day, "Win Mer
ex, Clarke (irllllth, Red Donohuo and
jther pitchers were getting away
with their games and each one was
jepending upon a slow ball to a
large extent. Hilly lieiilv and Dusty
ftlioades followed them, but look over
iho list of pitchers In the two big
leagues today and you will not find a
single pitcher who Is noted for his
ilow ball. There may be some who

they do not depend upon it to any

large or small, they must ho able to
put steam on the ball or they go back
to the minors. In fact, when a big
league scout reports some minor
leaguer to his employer, the first ques
tion that the latter asks is: 'Has he
nny smoke?'
"I have reasoned It out that the
nlow ball pitcher scarcely ever won
his games by small scores and the
dubs In the days when slow ball
pitchers thrived generally had a lot
of batters who won their games by
big scores. It did not causo much
damage If five or six r ins were
scored against a club that owned a
slow hall pitcher if that team was
able to go out and score seven or
plght runs, lint nowadays the scores
are smaller and the man with the
(loater finds It difficult to stand the
pace."
HAS BIGGEST BASEBALL HAND
Mike Kahoe, Scout for Washington
Team, Says Eddie Aln:;mlth Will
Be Greatest Catcher.
Eddie Alnsmlth, the Nationals'
young catcher,, who h attracting so
much attention by his brilliant work,
and who bids fair to bo the sensation
of the American league this season,
carries around with him the largest
pair of hands known to baseball.
So big are Alnsmlth's bread hooks
that he cannot buy gloves to fit, and
during the cold days In Cambridge.
Mass., he Is forced to don mittens.
The digits on Alnsmlth's throwing
hand are badly twisted and look like
branches of a guarded oak, but he Is
not handlcapifud in the least, and
claims that this misshapen bunch of
fives does not bother him In throwing
to bases.
It has been said that Frank Dower
man of the New York Giants had
only to bold up both hands and one
might see the complete deaf and
dumb alphabet there. According to
the veteran, Mike Kahoe, Alnsmlth's
hands ore almost twice the size of
Bowerman's, and the scout also de
clares that in two years the former
will be the greatest backstop known
to organized baseball.

lot to watch and if the catcher keeps
them watching hi tn all the time he
takes their minds ofl the other duties
and causes them to make blunders. '
"First and foremost In Importance
In winning Is that the catcher never
shall muke or attempt to make any
play, especially a throw, unless ab
solutely certain that the other men In
the play have caught the signal, un
derstand what Is to be attempted and
are prepared to make the play with
him.

ATTELL WILL HAVE TO REST
Injury to Shoulder of Featherweight
Champion May End His Long

Abe At tell, the featherweight cham
pion, who suffered another Injury tc
Ids left shoulder In bis bout with
Frankle Hums in New York recently,
has been ordered by his physicians
not to fight again for at least six
months nnd probably for a year. There
is a possibility that the arm In bo bad

Dr. Jordan witnessed one of Ihe

PLACE INEBRIATES ON FARMS
Medical Authorities Are Unanimous
In Their Belief of the Colony
Treatment of Drunkards.
A new method of bundling the prob
lem of drunkenness Is set forth in
Ihe Survey. Whilo it Is undoubtedly
t suggestion of the right kind for the
ellef of individual cases of drunken
less It would appear to the casual
jbf-erver that too much of our effort
nd time and money are six-nt in the
ittempt to repair the damage which
iv o ourselves permit by licensing the
public drinking saloon. There Is one
thing better than to lift a man out
of the gutter that Is to remove tho
gutter. We tire dealing too largely
with effects nnd not with causes.
Inebriety is tho source of many of
.he most Important problems of gov
ernment. Recent figures show that
?8.9 per cent of the male cases of In
finity In New York are due to exces
sive use of alcohol. ,Iu Pennsylvdnla
II per cent of the Imbeciles owe their
condition to lutenipcrnM'e, 30 to 40
per cent of epileptic cases hnve their
origin In alcoholism. The report of
tho Hoard of Prison Commissioners
jf Massachusetts for 1908 states that
8(1,30"), or Co' per cent of the total ar
rests were made for public Intoxica
tion. Drunkenness as a cause of pov
erty Is continually noticed In every
day life.
The use of the nhort sentrnco Is
absolutely Ineffective. A man leaves
the county Jail or workhouse without
money and In most cases without
friends. He can secure shelter In a
Baloon nnd probably l.y performing
menial service for the bartender get
it drink. This Is the most natural
tiling for him to do. The alcoholic
repeater is tho natural result of the
short sentence.
The number of persons who apiear
ngaln and again for drunkenness Is
alarming. In one case, a mini now
Gl years of ago has been In tho work
houso C2 separate times. lie has
spent 3.163 days there at a total cost
for maintenance alone of $1,868.53.
Another case has been In tho work
house 34 different times, in tho alco
holic wards of a city hospital 31
times, in tho municipal lodging house
twice. In tho almshouse once andiln
'.wo other hospitals two times each.
He has spent a total of 1,943 days In
ihese various places at a total cost
Df $1,323.12. Still another cr.Ro, a man
about fr years of ago, hns been In the
workhouse, almshouse, or hospitals
ft times or a total of 5,884 davs nt a
otal cost of $2,492.37. In I'tl'ca. N.
Y., one person has appeared beforo
he police court nt least 1C0 times for
public intoxication.
There Is substantial unanimity as
;o the general lines along which
changes should be made. A graded
series of remedies Is needed. First
sffenders should bo released without
their nppearanco In court. For the
aext grade of cases probation Ehould
be tried and a fine Imposed to bo col
lected in Installments. More serloin
:'ascs should bo committed to a farm
solony. To carry out this plan in
trolvcs extending greatly tho principle
of probationary oversight of potty of
fenders. This principle Is compara
:lvely recent In application but the
-OBults are so satisfactory that it has
passed the experimental staga.
Seven Btates provide for tho com
mitment of habitual drunkards on tha
petition of relatives accompanied by
proper medical certification. When
l man has completely lost hU Eflf
control and is a constant burden to
!ifn family, It should not be neceB3ary
for him to become bo obnoxious to the
community as to incur arreBt for dis
orderly conduct before ha can bo com
mltted to an institution.
Medical authorities are unanlmo'is
in their belief In the farm colony
treatment. The prime necessities
ire: Isolation from alcohol for n con
'Inuous period of time, abundance of
light and fresh air, therapeutic baths
ind as much outdoor work as the pa
tient is capable of physically. Not
ill cases of Inebriety, however, can
do treated alike. Physical differ
ences due to tho stage of the disease
require classification and diversified
treatment. Incipient and advanced
rases cannot be treated together.
The advantage of such colonies an
that a large number of rounder
would be taken from the streets
courts, prlsous, workhouses, and hos
pltals. Many cbbcb that are a con
stant menace to society would be re
moved. Families that are burdened
by caring for fathers and brother!
who aro habitually drunk would be re
llevcd. Hut most Important the Indl
vldual would bo Isolated from alcohol
and placed In a healthful environment
and helped to lend a wholesome and
partially self-supporting life.
Temperance Is Christianity.
"From the first, even when most ol
the churches were as yet hostile, th
temperance movement has been a re
ligious movement, deriving its power
from a strong faith In God and the
belief that the movement was fulfill
Ing His purpose In the moral up
building of His children, and in tin
removal from their path of avoldabli
temptation. Temperance work ti
practical Christianity. No other phas
of Christian work Is so Immediately
