“Swat the Ball," Cry of Callahan

Waiting Out Hurler Not Popular
N ASHVILLE. TBNN., Auk. 25.—
Already the thump of the plg-
skln ha? been heard on Dudley
Field, Assistant Coach Owsley Ma-
nier having four of the Commodores
out every afternoon of last week for
light practice. Roaring Amrnie Sikes,
“Yunk" Huggins and Captain Nuek
Brown composed the quartet of
Vandy gridiron stars who cracked
the 1913 football season open.
The Commodores’ first schedule
game Is with Maryville on October
4, and will only give Vanderbilt a
good work-out. for the East Tennes
see college is little more than a prep
echoed. The rules committee lti form
ing* this season's schedule has ad-
i very conservative policy,
eliminating tin* usual big Eastern
game. After the Murprise which Au
burn sprung last year In holding the
Commodores to a 7 to 7 tie. Coach
McGugin* decided upon a plan of an
nihilating everything in the South
ihis season, and after washing the
Hate clean, to go after the big elevens
In the East.
McGugin isn't looking for any snap
with the Princeton eleven, despite the
fact that the Commodores romped
all over the Virginians 411 Dudley
Field, for this time there won't, be
any Lewie Hardage to crumple the
enemy's line.
Neither will the fleet Wllfton Collins
be back, nor Rabbi Robbins, but leave
It to McGugin to dig up somebody to
All these glaring holes in the Com
modores' backfleld, and rip the Char
lottesville line apart.
It’s the Auburn game which Van
derbilt is looking forward to with
more Interest than even the Turkey
Day battle with the Sewanee Tigers,
for the s»ting of that 7 to 7 tie still
rankles in the Commodores’ crew,
and It should be worth traveling
miles to see McGugin lead his men
against the Tech eleven.
The Thanksgiving struggle with
Sewanee will clos* the schedule, one
of tht best Vai
years, since all the games, with the
exception of the Virginia ami Auburn
battles, will be on Dudley Field.

C hicago, Aug. 25.—woe be unto
that young pitcher who gets the
Imprecision that ho can sneak
over the first ball pitched for a strike
when he is facing the White Sox. If
he has that Impression and carries
it out let him prepare to duck. Be
cause you can wager that the South
Side batter will take a healthy wallop
at it.
Likewise, let the youngster who
"grooves” one when he Is in the hole
in the hope of evening the count pre
part* to duck.
Because, Just as sure as that hall
in "grooved” wilf the South Side bat
ter take a healthv swing. And Harry
Lord will swing if the count be throe
balls and no strikes.
Which, simmered down, means that
the Sox do not play the old army
game. Waiting out a pitcher is dine
business, according to their 1913
method of reasoning, if the pitcher
is known to be wild. But "swat when
it'* over” is one of t hi* rules
of Manager Callahan when his team
is against a twirier known to possess
control.
Hits First Ball Pitched.
Hal Chase has driven out three
doubles in two day a Every one of
his hits was on the first ball pitched.
Joe Berger cracked out a double in
the sixth round of the second game
between the Sox and the Red Sox.
it w a - on the first be I pitched I#ar-
ry Ohappelle smote a double with the
bases filled In the seventh inning of
the same game. Tt was on the firs*
ball pitched.
Remember how the Sox of old
played It? If one of their number had
swung into the first ball pitched there
would have been a near riot on the
bench. They ran the count to three,
whether it was a Walter Johnson
with perfect control or whether it
wbp a recruit who didn't possess it.
Not so these days. Nor is Manager
Callahan without an argument on his
side.
"Why handicap yourself by allow
ing the pitcher to get you In the
hole?” queries the manager. "If a
pitcher indicates that lie is wild, then
wait him out. If the weather is
beastly iiot and you think you can
wear a twlrler down, then wait him
• Hit. But if the twlrler has control,
what Is gained by waiting? You have
to hi't.
Tries to Sneak It Over.
"Frequently a pitcher tries to sneak
over a -'trike on the first ball pitched.
That’s the one to crack. The chances
are that there is nothing on it. If you
let it go by, you are in the hole prop
er, because he can pitch you balls just
a bit Inside or a bit outside and you
are afraid to let them go by, yet
you can't get a good solid crack."
With men on bases the South Side
follows are under instructions to hit
the count of two balls and no strikes.
Here is the way the manager figures
that:
"Supposing that there Is a man on
second and the pitcher is in the hole
with two balls and no strikes on the
batter. The pitcher wants to get a
strike on the batter and he’s going to
put that ball square over and without
a thing on It If you let It pass, then
the count is two and one and the
pitcher is an good as you are.
"Suppose, with a good pitcher, you
work the count to two and three. A
good pitcher will curve that ball Just
as surely as he Is standing on the
mound.
"The pitchers have too much nerve
these days to stand up and pitch a
straight one square across simply be
came they have to put It over."
How Lord Secs It. I
This Harry Lord is probably one of
the gament follows in the business
when it comes to wielding that bat.
and he’ll swing with the count of
three balls and no strikes. Some
managers will tell you that is bad
business.
"Why is it?" queries Lord. "The
pitcher ip trying to put it over. There
isn’t a thing on the ball, and your
chances of getting a base hit are
better."
Of course, there must be a man on
base before the captain swings under
those conditions.
C HICAGO, ILL., Aug. 25.—Johnny
Coulon is roughing It in the
Canadian wilds. The Chicago
bantamweight declares his health has
improved a great deal during the past
month and that he will he ready to
defend his "title" by the part of Sep
tember or early in October.
Coulon has not engaged in a ring
contest since he fought Frankie
Burns, of Jersey City. It will be re
membered that Burns held Coulon
even for ten rounds and that the
"go” was declared a draw by the
newspaper experts who saw the
battle.
Burns made things* so interesting
for Coulon that the latter was forced
to go to a hospital after the bout.
He claimed he was bothered with
stomach trouble and was unable to
train properly for his contest with
Burns.
* * •
VU HEN Coulon enters a ring again,
vv he will be forced to meet "Kid”
Williams, of Baltimore. Williams has
proved that lie Is one of the classiest
bantamweights* in the business and is
the logical opponent for Coulon.
Wise Johnny will probably demand
that the match be at 116 pounds
ringside. He can make this weight
himself, as he very seldom scales
more than 112 pounds Williams, on
the other hand. Is a big bantam
weight. He experienced great dif
ficulty In making low weight several
months ago and has got bigger since
then.
• • •
T F Coulon does not start boxing until
1 November, Williams may then be
a full-Hedged featherweight. There
fore, he would not be able to secure
a match with the Windy City lad.
If Williams proves that he is able
to make 116 pounds in the fall, Cou
lon will probably be forced to give
the Baltimore star a chance at the
title.

Byrne and Camnitz
Traded for Dolan
PHILADELPHIA, PA., Aug. 25.—
Manager Dooin. of the Phillies, has
traded to the Pittsburg team Albert
Dolan, his crack utility player, and
third barman and a sum of money,
for Bobby Byrne and Pitcher Howard
Camnitz.
The Phillies have given up a fine
youngster, who had no chance to play
because Lobert is going so well this
season. The fans had looked upon
him as the logical successor to Hans
when that player retired from the
game.
Byrne, while he is a star, is slow
ing up and Camnitz has done noth
ing to show that he will be of serv
ice to a major league team again.

Not Man to Lead Federal League
Bv Ed W. Smith.
C HICAGO, Aug. 25—They let Jonn
T. Powers, president of the
Federal League, down nice and
easy the other day when they said
that he had been given a vacation
for the remainder of the season—
when baseball presidents are supposed
to be up to their necks In work—be
cause. the other officials of the league
said .Powers had overworked himself.
From the standpoint of an outsider
this should be tip enough for Powers
to take his little dose of medicine
calmly and without a grimace. But
he had to come back with a little
joke. He announced immediately that
he figured that Horace Fogei, of
Philadelphia, was slated for the
league presidency.
• * *
'"THIS statement may or may not
* have been made with some basis
of fact, but It looks very much as
if Powers, no longer in the councils
of the inner circle of Federal League
backers, was merely guessing when
he pulled that bon mot. Federal
League leaders. In their dual hunt for
public favor and a new leader, could
hardly expect the former with the
accession to the office of Fogei. The
depo.*-ed Horace, w ho got his from the
National League officials because of
certain disagreeable mixups, could not
be expected to command the pubis
respect the presidency of a league
is supposed to carry. Fogei rapped
everything in organized baseball after
he was tossed out, which wasn’t a
very good thing for Horace and really
didn’t cause even a slight dent on
organized baseball.
• • •
J UST now we are cheerful enough
to believe that tViere is a whole
lot in that twisted little axiom that
reads: "Boost and the world boosts
with you: knock, and you knock
alone.” Some pessimists may be in
clined to twist this still further and
believe that the world is more in
clined to knock than to boost, but we
don't feel that way about it. Fogel's
raps never were discussed much by
the baseball fans and the effect was
lost. Unless Horace has changed
his Ideas a whole lot he wouldn’t
make much of a success as president
