While attending a bout the other

clouds of rosin dust were being wafted
out to settle on the ringsiders, much to
their annoyance, as a result of this an
tiquated method. In the opposite cor
ner from where he was sitting seconds
were using fans. In this way they were
able to.concentrate the air set in mo
tion on their principal instead of on'
the floor of the ring
The commissioner decided that in or
der to add to the 'comfort of those lo
cated close to the ring it would be a
good Idea to place a ban on the use of
towels.

WALSH’S SUCCESS DUE
TO ADVICE OF FANATIC
CHICAGO. July 9.—There was a time
when Ed Walsh was not a great pitcher.
In 1904 his speed was terrific, but his
control was so bad that he had literally
no Idea where the ball was going. He
could seldom get catchers to help him
practice, and had to fall back on an en
thusiastic fan.
This fan, after handling his erratic
shoots, gave Ed some advice. He doesn't
know if Walsh took it. but his work in
dicates that he did something.
"After the season of 1905.” said the
"bug." "I walked to the station with
Walsh. I asked him what he intended
to do in the winter. He said he was
going to do nothing.
“Then 1 told him he was about the
worst pitcher 1 had ever seen and de
scribed to him how Christy .Mathewson,
before he gained control, had rented a
barn, painted a target at one end, and
pitched into the target all winter until
he emerged in the spring with the best
control in the league.
“1 don't know if Walsh took the hint,
but he certainly had the control when
he helped pitch the White Sox to the
pennant next year.”
