'7 ” 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.” a > lakes A i E / on ly half as vJ w much fora chew w and double ■ 1 the pleasure j your /Sr DRUMMOND I NATURAL LEAF I CHEWING TOBACCO 7
