HAVE heard learned discus
sions full of high-sounding
phraseology.” says Frank
Houseman, the retired ball player,
‘‘and 1 must say that in my time
I have encountered many men who
could throw the English language
around most delightfully, but 1 wish
to say that there was once a time in
iny life when I realize the possibili
ties of English, the glories of our
native tongue and the flexibility of
the unwritten dictionary. This oc
casion was in Florida many years*
ago. I was wintering down there with
a lot of other players, among them
being Johnny McGraw, now manager
of the New York aggregation. W;
were playing a game one afternoun
and I was on third base. McGraw
had reached second and thought he
saw- a chance to get clean home when
a. safe drive went w’hizzing out in
the field. I saw he could do it, also
that the umpire was looking after the
ball, and as Mac drew nigh I gave
him the hiplock and double tackle.
He whirled round and out and shot
far away into the suburbs. Over anl
over he rolled, bringing up with his
face in a clump of weeds and hi<*
mouth full of sand.
‘‘McGraw scrambled back to the
base before the ball could reach him
and I judged it best to move up the
line a bit out of his reach. And there
he stuck with his foot on the b ig
and delivered an oration. And what
a speech it was!
‘ Sometimes I wake up in the nigh*
and think I hear once more the
words Johnny used. Eloquence, file
and forcefulness, complaint and de
nunciation. classified references to
my family tree, my personal habits
and appearance. my destination
after death—all these were features
of McGraw’s oration. I listened spell
bound, but I did not move. Not
even when he ajdded peruasiveness to
his elocution and offered me atrac-
tive inducements to come within his
reach did I change my position.
“I have heard Bourke, Cochran;
I have heard William Jennings
Bryan—I have heard them all—but
never in all my life, before or sine?,
have I heard anything to equal the
speech McGraw delivered there upon
the coral sands of Florida.”
seasons back, it actually described
the shape of a half moon as it curled
into the plate, but tne youngstdT was
so wild that he had to go. Ask Ed
Konetohy about that enormous curve.
One of them started so far outside the
plate that the Big Train stood and
laughed—then It darted round on the
half-moon track and nearly killed
Konetohy, who was laid up for weeks.
He will swear, if vqu ask him. that no
mortal man ever threw such a curve,
and that no law of nature or physics
could account for that half-mom
ball.
Strange curves, a lot ©f them—but
all you hear of now is "the slow one.’’
“the straight fast one.” and ‘ball
with a hop.” As that hop appears on
route, so the different pitchers ar**
distinguished, and the critics talk
about “the sharp break to the curves.”
If ever a pitcher can throw with the
outdoor ball the mysterious, gigantic
upward leap that can be thrown with
the big indoor ball, that pitcher wIH
make Marquard’s record fade. It's a
cinch to do it, too—I can take a*
Spalding, grip it as the indoor ball
i» gripped, and make it curve upward
in the same identical fashion—BUT—
there will be no force, no speed, and
the blamed ball will not go 30 test
ere falling dead. But what a snap for
a strong arm pitcher who will prac
tice It some winter!
KLING TO JOIN REDS

Johnny Kling already has started
