Bad Breaks In Lock Arte Handicap
Sometimes to Success, ' bnt Gen
eral Results Count; Timely
Advice Is Given.
BT CHARLES (CHICK) EVANS, JR.
Does success in polf, or in life, for
that matter, come-from hard, intelligent
work in .building up aklll, or is lt main
ly the result of a good break at some
critical moment? Can the training: of
years be overthrown by an unfortunate
happening that cannot, reasonably
speaking, be foreseen or provided
against? I think that all thoughtful
persons must agree that accidents may
In one disastrous moment sweep away
the work of years, destroying health.
happiness, even life itself; but, or
course, this is a fact of possibility, not
of the greatest probability. In all the
ordinary conditions I must confess that
the race is usually to the swift and the
battle to the strong:.
Gearral Results Const.
TTa hear a great deal about "the
break of the game," and, indeed, it is
a very real thing. We have all seen
badly hit balls and fine good lies. We
have seen them headed straight for
out of bounds, and. behold, they struck
a stone. We have seen the little white
globes linger on the very edge of
yawning bunkers and never drop in.
We have all known, too. the Interrup
tion, the casual remark wafted across
the course, that came at exactly the
wrong moment and destroyed a good
shot. Then again some players and
not always very good ones seem to
have the art of inspiring respectful
consideration in the gallery, and their
shots are made amid a deathlike still
ness. while the other player always
seems to strike bis ball to an aceom
paniment of stamping feet and staccato
bursts of conversation, unrortunateiy,
all these things are true, and bad luck
does lose many a game, but the thing
for us to consider is he average re
suit. It is certainly true that it is
bard to keep a good man down.
Came of Life Is Similar.
Art sorts of bad luck may delay sue
cess, but skill averages well in wins in
the long run in golf as well as au
the Important things of life.
The player must learn to forget his
opponent's good breaks and concen
trate upon his own shots. He must
learn to take these things as they
come, for luck Is not always one-sided.
The player must especially avoid cry
ing over the varying luck of the game
while it Is in progress. Of course, it
Is too much to ask that he should not
discuss it when the game is over, for
therein lies the real charm and de
light of the 19th hole.

Average Tenure of Big Leaguers
Between 8 and 10 Years; Tyrus
Cobb, Peerless Then, Is Great
est Player of All Sow.
What is the average tenure of the
ballplayer In the big leagues?
The reader who asked this question
caused the dopester to -go back over
the records for a few years, ana mere
as found something interesting au
enlightening on the subject
Somewhere under 10 years would be
the answer, but Just at what point
would e difficult to determine.
There are players who nave gone
nn for a score or years, dui
of the Anson. Wagner or Lajole type
are scarce. There have been hundreds
who have lasted only a season or two.
but it is safe to say that the average
ball player Is good for somewhere be
tween eight ana ten jrears.
Record Book; Tells Story.
t la interesting right along this
same line of thought to go through a
roro honk of 10 or 12 years ago ana
find just what percentage of the play
ers in active service then will be
ready to report at the 1918 training
camps.
The result is astonishing even to the
most ardent followers or tne game,
it aeema scarcely possible that out
of 330 men drawing salaries in the
American and National leagues in
onlv 15 played ball in 1917. and four
or ,haa omhablv will not be seen in
1918. And that Is the space oi oniy
1 9 van rB.
Of the American League pitchers of
isnfi who included w aaaeii, muuiu,
.Tn. Chesbro and others, only three.
Bender. Plank and uoomos were aoic
to pitch successfully last year, ana

Of the National League pitchers of
1906 Reulbach and Ames were the only
ones who saw service in ana iteui-
hach pitched very little at Boston, and
has been given his uncondtticnal re
lease. Mathewson was still active in
baseball, as manager of the Beds.
Not a catcher of the 1906 troop was
n the harness 11 years later, except
Gibson, who did a little relief work at
New York.
Six Infleldera Remain.
Of the infielders six remain of the
ions ernwd. providing Lsjoie is counted.
for Larry, after a year's sojourn in the
minors, is certain to wear a Big league
uniform next season. The others are
Wagner, who only played part of the
season: Lobert. who was in less than
20 games at New Tork: Evers, who was
out of the game a great part of the
season: Turner, who played in a util
ity role with Cleveland, and Chase.
The latter was the only regular of the
outfit. ,
In the outfield we find five still in
the game. Strange to say the great
Tvrus Raymond Cobb is among them,
and is still the greatest of all ball
players. The others are Sam Crawford,
who has about reached the end of the
road. Hinchrhan. Schulte. who had an
unsatisfactory season last year, and
Sherwood Magee, who has been re
leased by Boston.
Others actively In the game who
were "up there" in 1906 are Fielder
Jones, manager or tne Browns, and
Bob Wallace, who will be back in the
big tent next year, probably as a coach.
This is a striking picture of the
length of time a big leaguer may hope
to remain in fast company.
Most of them are gone, and all. with
the exception of Cobb, are fading.
Twelve years means a great deal to
a ballplayer.
Billy Evans Takes Up Case
of Near-Home Run.
Veteran Baseball Official Advocates
Certain Rule Changes.
IF a batsman is able to drive the
ball outside the confines of the ball
park, said park being regulation in
every detail, and the ball is fair when
it passes over the fence, don't you
think the batsman should be entitled
to a home run? It has always been
my opinion that he should get such
credit, yet the rules deprive him of the
right under certain conditions.
a a a
Last year in two Important games
I happened to be the judge of play,
when the batsmsn. to my way of tliinlt
ing. made a home run. yet under the
rules It proved nothing more than a
good healthy foul. And as Is usually
aissssBr $sssrV -
m
iaV ,
' - .
the case, the batsman in each instance
struck out, after having lost' a chance
to become a hero a few minutes previ
ously by the narrowest of margins. In
one of these games two men were on
the bases, and the team at bat needed
three runs to win. In the other con
test the score was a tie, so it is easy
to judge the important part either
drive might have played in the out
come of the game.
One of the games was played at
Philadelphia, The right field fence at
Shibe Park, while not o far away as
some others in the American League,
is a good drive, being many feet over
the -required distance. Joe Jackson, of
the White Sox, got hold of a fast one
propelled by "Bullet Joe" Bush and
sent it on a line over thd right field
wall. When it passed over the fence
there was no question about it being
fair or foul, it was apparent to all the
ball was several yards fair. However,
as it disappeared from the view of the
umpire, it was foul beyond a doubt.
and so it was ruled.
a a a
The rule covering this play, is defi
nlte. It says that when a batted ball
passes outside ths ground or into
stand, the umpire shall decide it fair
or foul, according tp where it disap
pears from the umpire's view. When
Jackson's hit passed over the fence., it
was tn fair territory, but when it
passed from my view, it was as far
foul as it had once been fair. A simi
lar occurrence happened in a game at
Detroit.
Th ball was fair when it passed over
the fence, but foul when the umpire
got through looking it over. It has
always seemed to me that such a hit
should entitle the batsman to a home
run. That the moment the ball passed
out of the park further jurisdiction
over it on the part of the official should
cease.
a a
I have heard it argued that it is dif
ficult to determine just when the ball
actually passes over the fence and out
of playing territory. I have never been
able to agree with such contention. De
termining such a fact, to my way of
thinking, is not nearly so difficult as at
least half a dozen other situations that
can arise. I have also heard it argued
that if you so ruled on a drive over the
fence you ought to so rule on line
drives that are in fair territory as they
pass first or third, but later drop foul,
outside the lines. Neither can I see
that argument, since in making my
claims for a home run I am laying
all stress on the fact that the ball was
fair when it passed out of playing ter

would not be eligible even if available.
When the second semester opens to
morrow a much larger squad is expected
out than reported for training last
term. Captain Coleman, who is the only
letter man back on the squad, will be
the nucleus around which the team
must be built.
The chances of staging the annual
indoor relay carnival here In the big
Armory appear slim at this time. While
Coach Pipal has not wnony given up
the Idea of holding the meet this year
it does not seem at present that it
would be advisable to attempt It under
the present wartime conomons.

Numerous Coast League and Major
League Players Sign With Mare
Island Marines and Others Are
Expected to Enlist Soon.
The rapidity with which Pacific
Coast League ballplayers are joining
the various branches of tbe service Is
causing the magnates of President
Baum's circuit a little worry. Likewise
the major leaguers who Winter on the
Coast are signing up with Uncle Sam's
league.
"Speed" Martin, last year with Oak
land, took his physical examination at
San Francisco Saturday, and probably
will be the next baseball star to join
the Marines at Mare Island. With Rod
Murphy, ex-Portland captain and third
baseman, and Billy Lane, Oakland out
fielder, already in line, the Mara Island
Marines' baseball team will have a real
Oakland Coast League Complexion
when Martin "shoves off."
Rowdy Elliott, Chicago Cub catcher,
visited Marine headquarters at San
Francisco and told Lieutenant McClas
key, officer in charge, that he would
be In before the end of the week, which
means that the Marines will have a big
league catcher to handle "Speed" Mar
tin and "Busher" Blake's shoots.
Harry Hooper. Boston Red Sox out
fielder, will arrive at Mare Island next
Wednesday to talk things over with
the "boys." If Harry joins Rod Mur
phy's aggregation it will gradually rise
from a minor to a major league out
fit, a
The football team of the Mare Island
Marines last Fall was a wonderful help
in recruiting and the way baseball
stars are being picked up it looks as
if the Marines' baseball team will be
as big an attraction as the football
team was last year. . .
Cliff McCarl, ex-Northwestern and
Pacific Coast first baseman, has as
sumed his new duties at the Presidio
of San Francisco as athletic instructor.
McCarl's most arduous duties win De
tutoring recruit ball tossers. McCarl
told a good one about his experiences
in the Northwestern League.
I used to be a bat boy for Daa MeeK
the Three-I League. Playing for
Spokane, I was hitting .360. Meek was
hitting .370 and leading the league. At
the time I was the runner-up. Meek
said one day: 'I'll have to keep a hus
tle on me if I want to Keep in ironi
of my bat boy.'" .
Ballplayers may forget about their
balance in the bankbook, but there
never has been a case of a player for
getting his batting average.
