HURLER SHOULD WORK OFTEN

Manager Dcotn Thinks Pitcher Should Be Kept in Game as Long as He Retains Effectiveness. “Early in the season,” says Manager Charlie Dooin. of tbe Philadelphia National league team, “Seaton and Alexander worked In a great many games, and won them, too, keeping us away ahead in the race. Then the bry was raised that these two pitchers were being overworked and were entitled to a rest The two slabmen neveg*

complained—in fact, they liked to work often —but rather than be considered a slave-driver I rested them. What was the result? The other pitchers failed to deliver, while Alexander and Seaton, instead of benefited by tbe layoff, were rusty •nd couldn’t show nearly their original effectiveness. I’m now convinced that pitchers should work early and often if they are to keep their effectiveness. No more pampering and nursing for my wizards, believe me."
