Secrets °/16 Years .V Successful PitchiiigJ* by GROVER. SE * VC6 Veteran Pitcher of World's Champions

SHAVE heard it remarked by many pitchers that they do not bear down until they are in a pinch. In other words, they almost invite the batters to hit them safely and then with men on the bases they are ready to go to

work. This is the wrong system. Baseball is too uncertain for the greatest of pitchers to be positive of getting out of these tough spots. The risk is too great—a. fluke hit, error, wild pitch or the like is always possible. I start out ttf win every game I pitch. My game is pitched from

Alexander

the first ball on and not from the fourth or fifth inning. When the season opens a pitcher should be trained to go at full speed for nine innings and not to save himself for the tight spots. Unless he Is, he may find himself on his to the clubhouse before the time Kis arrived for him to tighten.

The mistake many young pitchers make is in getting too excited in the pinch. They are natural with their pitching until several runners get on. Say it is a lie score. 'What happens? The (pitcher feels he must got a tighter grip on the hall, he must use more speed and the result is he is trying to burn the ball past the hatters without any judgment. Remember this—use the head as much as the arm. I am meeting with pretty good success by combining the head with the arm. Another thing—l have never been able to agree with the pitchers who, when they get two strikes and no balls on a batter, deliberately waste one or two pitches. They do not tease their batter by putting one dose to the strike line and give 1 hem the' chance of having the batter chase il. Don't waste anything. With two strikes and no halls give the hatter the next one that will be close to a, corner. Frequently you may nip the corner.

lot. A majority of them have a keen eye. The truly great batters will take a ball that is inches inside or outside, when they feel

confident it is a ball. Sometimes the umpires do not agree with them and, like the pitcher, believe it is over. That, of course, is one of the gambles of the game. To throw a ball so wide of the plate that there is no doubt in the mind of anyone that it is a bad ball is wasted effort. If a pitcher insists on not getting the ball over, he should keep it close enough that the batsman may be tempted to fjb after it, and there is the possibility the umpire may rule it a strike. That is smart pitching. ROLL BRILLIANT SERIES Bu I iiited Press PEORIA, 111., April 6.—Rolling a brilliant series of ten pins, Mike Flick and Fred Snyder of Erie, l*a., went into first place in the two-man event of the American Bowling Congress tournament late Tuesday with a 1,317 count.

Doughty Little Scot Four Times Winner in Big Tournaments. By Jimmy Powers NEA Service Sports Writer NEYV YORK, April 6.—The flowers that bloom in the spring tra-lu-la afe not the only blossoms on the landscape. There is a whole mess of par and bogey horticulturists at work and if they keep tip with the winter pace they are setting there will be thunderous explosions in the golf world this summer. Bobby Cruikshank’s sensational string of victories, including the Texas. Soutli Central, Los Angeles, United North and South opens, mark him as being ready for national title-seeking. Is College Man He is the only Joe College of the outfit. Bobby doffed the cap and gown of Edinburgh University and went to work dragging down tournament purses. His triumphs have been in meets with a total prize value of 820,000, making him the big dollars and cents man of. the season. Down in Florida. Gene Sarazen has returned to his best medal play form, taking the Miami and the Miami Beach opens with plenty to spare. His 277 in the latter was the best performance of the winter up j to that time. “Light Horse” Harry Cooper galloped home at Monterey and also 1 knocked off Hagen in a 72-hole walk- ‘ away: Joe Turnesa won at Sacra- ; mento; Bill Mehlhorn was the Santa Clara victor: Tommy Armour was the winner at Long Beach. Playing Good Game Wild Bill, the reformed plasterer, has been playing better golf on cards than any of them if averages mean anything. He is a shade over 72 for 324 holes. Armour has 73, Cruikshank and Turnesa 73’4. and j Cooper 74. Hagen is in a slump and his cards of 74, 82, 77 and 79 do not sound like the Sir YValter of old. In the last four P. G. A. championship Hagen has won nineteen matches and lost one—a defeat at I the hands of Sarazen. Since then ! he has taken fifteen consecutive 1 matches in P. G. A. play; so frenzied ! efforts to bury him in his current : slump are nothing if not ludicrous. In the open tournaments this summer both Hagen and Sarazen will find their hands full with Cruikshank, Turnesa, Mehlhorn and others coming on like a horse and buggy.
