looks like La Grande might win the
two remaining games.
The news of the fourth victory com

DOC WHITE ON SOUTHPAWS.
Telia Why Left Hand Battere Have
Hard Tima Hitting 'Em.
Doe White, thn left handed ultcher
of the Chicago Anierlcaus, has a con
vincing ntiswer for the everlasting
question. " hy can t a left hanuea
batter successfully hit a southpaw
twlrler?"
White's answer to the query was:
tt'a thn'slinnlest thine in the world.
The majority of pitchers In the big
leagues are right banded, are they not!
Wbcn you were a kid and played lots
the matoiltv of Ditchers then were
right hnnded. were they not?
"Admitting that, Isn t it reasonable
to assume that a ball player from his
earliest days to the time he gets into
tha lifir Innciifvi hits nirnlnst ru?ht hnnd
ed pitchers twice as often as be does
against southpaws?
"Well, that's the answer, and that s
all there Is to It
"If the blc lencues should decide to
carry half a dozen left handed ptlch-
0?'

era and only one or two right banders
you would Mud that In the course of a
very short time all these fellows who
cannot bit left handed pitchers would
soon be able to solve the portslde
shoots.
"Take Ty Cobb, for Instance," says
White, "1 used to like to pitch against
him when be first broke into the Amer
ican league. He was the easiest kind
of a proposition for me. Bat now
well. 1 can't fool blm any more, and
no other left hander can, I don't care
who he Is.
"It Is claimed that Vean Gregg, the
Cleveland southpaw, was the only man
who could serve up something Ty
couldn't hit last season. This may be
true, but yoa can gamble that If Gregg
stays In the American league very long
Cobb will be able to got blm."

PROTECTION IS IMOOSE TEAM L
NEEDED MEN VICTOR AGAIN
PLAYERS CAX0T SHIELD THEM
SELVES. Tommy Clark, . Veteran Player aud
Writer, Tells of Insults.
By TOMMY CLARK.
It speaks pretty well for the self
control baseball players exercise that
there are not more Instnnces of the
kind which happened on the New Turk
grounds recently when Ty Cobb, De
troit's great player, climbed Into the
grand stand and thrashed an abusive
spectator.
The cowardly practice of some per
sons In abusing in the vilest manner a
player on the Held whom tbey would
not dure to us.i!l man to man calls
for drastic uctiuu, The wonder is that
more players do not take such mutters
into their own bands.
Aggravated nagging and abuse of
ball players by spectators are the de
velopment of a trait as cowardly as
that of the miscreant who throws bot
tles at an umpire.
Lost In a crowd,' the spectator hides
behind bis fellows to taunt and Jeer
und to apply epithets to a citizen who
is In as good standing as or better than
the offender. It Is a quality which is
unsportsmanlike and deplorable.
Men with red blood In their veins
are sure to resent the attacks which
nre frequently made on them on the
bull Held. There Is no protection pro
vided for the player, as a rule, and he
must either stand the abuse or mete
out such punishment as be sees fit
According to Cobb, the rooter who in
sulted him and upon whom Tyrus took
summary revenge was the same indi
vidual who all last summer kept up a
persistent flow" of vile :iik1 Insulting re
marks directed at the Georgia peach
whenever Detroit played In New York.
Ty stated that he had warned this fan
before the game started to cense his
flow of talk or else take the conse
quences, but there was an. increase In
stead of decrease In the insults until
be (Cobbl clenred the railing and phys
ically stopped the vile flow.
On the ground of personal vindica
tion and insulted mnnhood Cobb was
Justified In his action.
On the other hand. It may be said
Cobb had no right whatever to enter
the stand and engage in a broil with a
spectator. It might have led ,to far
more serious consequences than It did.
While the player may feel that It Is
unjust to him to be the target of vile
abuse, it Is not bis province to act as
Judge and Jury in a punuc coniosi ui
which there ore hundreds of reputable
citizens us well, possibly, as an occa
sional hoodlum.
Cobb was suspended by Ban John
son for what he did, and his absence
weakened the Tigers. He transgressed
the rules ot order of the game. It is
stated explicitly that players must not
engage in controversy with spectators.
Some steps should be taken by every
club to protect the players from abu
sive attacks from the spectators. The
avernge pairou of baseball does not ap
prove or this method of trying to rat
tle visiting players and would wel
come the expulsion from the parks of
persons who resort to such methods.
"Do you know why the Cincinnati
Reds are winning?" asked a close stu
dent of baseball of the writer recently.
"I'll answer it myself," said the speak
er, ""nank O'Day, a Natlonnl league
umpire for twenty years, knows more
about the pitchers of rival teams than
the other managers. He Is also aware
of the weakest points of all the bats
men, nnd he tins Imparted this valu
able Information to the Iteds.
"O'Day. always a dictator when he
r-.r,,loro,l" iWlslollS. etliOVS tilt? rCSPeCt
of his players, and it is un easy task
to enforce discipline. He Isn't a bully,
but he rules with an iron hand nnd bas
proved to bis men that lie knows more
.k,,i,i li.ul.l.. Imsehnli than thev do.
Furthermore, the Cincinnati man
ager, nwnre of the trials nnd tribula
tions oi umpires. Is nuainst kicking nud
believes lie i-nii secure better brents If
his men play clean ball."

Mclnnls Is Ail to the Good and Wins
Handily.
La Grande Moose defeated their
brothers of the same lodge who live
at Elgin yesterday at Elgin by a score
of. 5 to 0. "Heck" ilclnuls, working
on the mound for La Grande. He let
his enemies down with one or two
scratchy hits and the eight behind
played almost errorless ball. The
game was played during the morning
and while it didn't draw much of a
crowd, tne interest was intense and
the game a good one.
- Union defeated Baker at Baker on
the Fourth In a free game, a venture
that Is unique. Everybody got. in
free and It is said that no greater
crowd ever witnessed a baseball game
In Enstern Oregon.
' '
The East Orcgonlau remarks: "Isn't
it funny that the Pendleton players
conduct themselves so well In Boise
and La Grande that the papers of
those cities comment upon their gen
tlenianllness nnd that In Walla Walla
the papers of that city term them
rowdies? It is Just possible that the
city and not the players are to blame."
The Observer voices .the opinion of
99 fans out of every hundred in this
way station when It remarks that Pen
dleton's players would be perfectly at
home In dress suits and furthermore
don't curse and bellow around to the
embarassment of the fans at the
games when things go bad like some
other players we know do.

Garett is certainly having a season
of hard luck. First he was put out of
commission hy ptomaine poisoning,
then he lout a game through being
beaned and now he Is laid on the shelf
with a sprained ankle.
There seems to be a great deal of
difficulty In keeping umpires on the
Job in the Trl-State league. First
Longauecker got sick and quit and
then Gove admitted he couldn't han
dle the men. Hb says rowdyism 's
apparent. Well, he Is partly right
ebout some of the members of sonic
ot the clubs some of the time. '
.
For some real good sport, watch the
races in the Eastern Oregon and the
FJranch line leagues. They do Erse
rate.
Waldo Geddes will be picked up
some day ere long by a Bcout or man
ager from some league and under skil
led tutors, make good. He has many
of tho essential qualifications to gtt'
into real company when he gels t
ye ir or two more on his shoulders .
' , .
Wallowa plays' at Elgin and Enter
prise at Joseph tomorrow In the
Branch Line league.
Many of those who have been pan
ning the Pippins because they lost
pretty regularly, flip-flopped today
when they learned of four straight
victories. Now that may not be very
much for Borne teams but it is quite
a bit for La Grande.
Rochon, the little second baseman,
traded for Bradley in the Walla Wal
la transaction is an erratic player.
He plays in spurts. His hitting, though
is rather consistent and on the good
side of the danger line.
Oh you Jack Barry and "Hap"
Smith this week. Imagine four and
five clouts every game and a majority
of them better than blngles. It Is
only a matter of a day or two now
until Barry will have worked him
self into the top niche of batting fame
In this 'ere league.
