Waiting Out Hurler Not Popular
N ashville, trnn., Aug. 25 —
Already the thump of the pig
skin has been heard on Dudley
Field, Assistant Coach Owsley Ma
uler having four of the Commodores
out every afternoon of last week for
light practice. Roaring Ammle Sikes,
“Yunk" Huggins and Captain Nuck
Brown composed the quartet of
Vandy gridiron stars who cracked
tho 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-
®ei college is little more than a prep
school. The rule* committee In form
ing this season's schedule has ad
her'd to a very conservative policy,
eliminating the usual big Eastern
frame. After the surprise which Au
burn sprung last year in holding the
Commodores to a 7 to 7 tie. Co uh
McGugin decided upon a plan of an
nihilating everything in the South
this season, and after washing the
slate 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 on Dudley
Field, for this time there won’t be
any L*»wle Hardage to crumple the
enemy's line.
Neither will the fUet Wilson Collins
b
It to McQugtn to dig up somebody to
fill 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
moru interest than even the Turkey
Day battle with the Sewanee Tigers,
for the ©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 dost the schedule, one
of the best Vanderbilt has bad in
years, since all the games, with the
exception of the Virginia and Auburn
battles, will be on Dudley Field.

C HICAGO, Aug. 25.—Woe be unto
that young pitcher who gels the
Improrslon that he 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 butter will take a healthy wallop
at it.
Likewise, let the youngster who
“grooves” one when he 1?* In the hole
In the hope of evening the count pre
pare to duck.
Because, just as sure as that ball
1m “grooved" will the South Side bat
ter take a healthv awing. And Harry
I>ord will swing if the count he thr^e
balls and no strikes.
Which, simmered down, means that
the Sox do not play the old army
came. Waiting out a pitcher is fine
business, according to their 1913
method of reasoning, if the pitcher
is known to be wild. But “swat when
It’s over" is one of the 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* Every one of
tils 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 was on the first ball pitched. Lar
ry Chappell© smote a double with the
bases filled in the seventh inning of
the same game. It.was on the first
ball pitched.
Remember how the Sox of old
played It? If one of their number bad
swung into the first hall 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
wf» a recruit who didn’t possess It.
Not so these days. Nor is Manager
CaUalfan without an argument on his
side.
"Why handicap yourself by allow
ing the pitcher to get you In the
hoi©*" queries the manager. "If a
pitcher indicate* that he is wild, then
wait him out. If the weather la
beastly hot and you think you can
wear a twlrler down, then wait him
out. But if the twlrler has control,
what is gained by waiting? You have
to hit.
Tries to Sneak It Over.
“Frequently a pitcher tries to sneak
over a fitrike on the first bnll 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
fellows are under instructions to hit
the count of two balls and no ©trikes.
Here is the w*y the manager figures
that:
“Supposing that there is a man on
second and the pitcher Is in the hole
with two halls and no ©trikes on the
batter. The pitcher wants to get a
strike on the batter and he’s going lo
put that ball square over and without
a thing on it. If you let it pass, then
the count I© two and one and the
pitcher is a© 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
cause thev have to put It over."
How Lord Sees It.
This Harry Lord Is probably one of
the gamest fellows In the business
when It comes to wielding that bat.
and he’ll swing with the count of
three balls and no strikes. Some
manager© will tell you that is bad
business.
“Why is It?” queries Lord. “The
pitcher is 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 be 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" wn© declared a draw by the
newspaper experts who saw the
battle.
Burns made thing© 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
Burn©.
• • •
Y\T HEN Coulon enters a ring again.
v v he will be forced to meet "Kid"
Williams, of Baltimore. William© has
proved that he 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 w-eight several
months ago and has got bigger since
then.
• • •
T F Coulon does not start boxing until
* November. Williams may then be
a full-fledged 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 pound© in the fall, Cou
lon will probably be forced to give
the Baltimore star a chance at the
title.
Fogel Down and Out in Baseball
Not Man to Lead Federal League
FODDER FOR FANS
Byrne and Camnitz
Traded for Dolan
PHILADELPHIA, PA.. Aug. 25-
Manager Dooln. of the Phillies, has
traded to the Pittsburg team Albert
Dolan, hi© crack utility player, and
third baseman and a sum of money,
for Bobby Byrne and Pitcher Howard
Camnit*.
The Phillies have given up a fine
youngster, who had no chance to p!ay
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 h© is a star, is slow
ing up and Camnitz has done noth
ing to show that h© will be of serv
ice to a major league team again.
By Ed W. Smith.
C HICAGO, Aug. 25.—They let John
T. Pow r ers, 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 eeason—
when baseball presidents are supposed
to be up to their necks In work—be
cause, the other official© 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 Fogel, of
Philadelphia, wa© 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 Fogel. The
deponed Horace. w r ho got his from the
National League officials because of
certain disagreeable mixups, could m-t
be expected to command the public
respect the presidency of <i league
is supposed to carry. Fogel 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 there 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 mav be in
clined to twist this still further and
believe that the world is more in
clined to knock than to boost, hut we
don't feel that way about it. Fogel'©
raps never were discussed much by
the baseball fans and the effect was
lost. Unless Horace has change!
his ideas a whole lot he wouldn’t
make much of a success as president
of a league that is ever so much de
pendent upon the good graces of the
baseball fan©.

IVT OW they are claiming that our
old friend. King Oole, late of
.Michigan, and several other places,
Is due for another trip into the major
leagues next season. Hooray for the
King, if that is so. but it looks much
as if the barber twlrler is due merely
for a tHal by the Pirate crew, which
hardly would have let him go with
out a string attached if he showed
the slightest bit of worth at all when
the Cub-Pirate deal that Inv ved
Artie Hofman and Cole came off.
Fred Clarke is too wise a scout to
see anything like that come off.
