Artist in Working on Mound. BYL.H. GREGORY. ONE of the greatest baseball pitchers of all time was Virgil Garvin.. The "lanky Texan," as writers of his day liked to call him, was more than just a pitcher he was a creator of pitching technique, an artist in hurling. Garvin, not Christy Mathewson, originated the "fadeaway," now more commonly, called the "screw ball." The peculiarity and effective ness of this ball is that it is essen tially a reverse curve. Thus, thrown by a right-hander, it breaks like a left-hander s curve bail. Thrown v... - i j I. : in,- iv,t " I hander's curve Many Pitchers use the screw ball, many, with great effectiveness, but few get much of a break to it. Mathewson did and his fadeaway was famous. But be fore Mathewson, long before him, was Virgil Garvin with - his "fall away," which was Identically the same delivery under . a different name. Garvin was a tall, slim scantling of a fellow, something like 6 feet 4 inches in height, with enormously long and sinewy arms and long, thin, delicate, nervous fingers like a woman's. Those fingers were one secret of his pitching skill. He could wrap them around a ball and give it a tremendous spin. - He- used to experiment by holding the ball in different ways, and it was thus that he discovered and mastered the "fallaway" or "fadeaway." ' Walter McCredie was reminiscing the other day about great pitchers he' has known or faced itr his 27 years in baseball, and he said that without doubt Garvin was the greatest of them all. Garvin could do things with a baseball that no other man wh,n ever lived could do," said McCredie. "He not only discovered the fadeaway and his fadeaway ' exploded like a curve ball, actually broke five Or six inches but he originated other deliveries, some of whch died with him. 'One of his feats that I have neves seen duplicated since was to make a fast-ball shoot up and to either side at will. You might know that he was going to throw up a fast one, know It would be in the groove, ana still nuss it. Garvin ; could make that ball take a jump upward Just before it reached the plate, and then break either in at you or out away from you. This delivery ac tually had a double hop. , "The secret of. that pitch was buried with Garvin. Pitchers today will tell you it can't be done. . I know it can be done, for I have seen Garvin do it have had him pitch to me that way, and have stood be hind him and seen him demonstrate his command of the ball by break ing it up and to either side, which ever way I asked for. He used no emery or other freak aids. ' With him it wag just "stuff." He had more of it than any man who ever pitched, "If Garvin had been able to let drink alone, he would have lasted for years and years and been famous as Mathewson and Walter Johnson. He was at heart one of the kindliest and gentlest of men. But put a few drinks in him and he became a maniac. He stabbed man in a saloon brawl and that cost him his job In the big leagues. He drifted to the Pacific coast. "Garvin pitched for Portland in 1904 and 1905, if I remember right When he was himself he wag un beatable but the poor fellow couldn't shake off his failing. He went down and down and finally died miserably, a day laborer in a lumber yard, "When they talk of great pitchers I always think of Garvin. There are none nowadays to compare with him at his best. He was to my no tion incomparably the best pitcher tihat ever lived. - "Hardest distance for a fight Isn't 20 rounds, or 26 rounds, or even 45 rounds," remarked big Jess Willard yesterday. "It is four rounds. That doesn't sound reason able. I'll admit, but I think most boxers will agree with me, "In a long fight you map out your campaign beforehand and gauge your speed to the distance.

"But in four rounds you can't block, you can't feint, you can't use any science. You must go like a bull for the four rounds or the crowd will holler you out of the ring for stalling. That means a slugging match, pure and simple, with each fellow taking more pun ishment than he ordinarily would do in 20 or 25 rounds. tuning, an iu 'Putting on an exhibition is much harder than fighting. Reason is tnat ,f do t ,oose wUh solid punches the crowd thinks you're rotten, and if you dp you're grandstanding at the expense of some poor little fellow about half your size. Another thing, when you are pulling your punches in an ex hibition it is impossible to hit fast That makes speed out of the ques tion, and the crowd thinks you are just a slow old stage coach." Big Jess expects to remain in Portland with his manager, Ray Archer, two or three days longer. Jess has an exhibition date at Ta- -coma next Wednesday night, under auspices of the American legion, and at Yakima the following night. After the New Year he will show at Spokane and from there he and Archer and Gene Doyle, his personal representative, will go to New York, where they have a date to meet Tex Rickard, Jack Kearns and Jack Dempsey January 10 to talk turkey about the coming Willard-Derapsey fight. " 9 m m I .see where William Muldoon, chairman of the New York boxing commission, says Jess will be barred from fighting in New York city under the present commission be cause he is' over the age limit," said Ray Archer, ther ex-champ s man ager. "That s all toolisnness. iMotn- mg will come or it because JMui- doon's days as chairman of the com mission are numbered. ' Everybody knows the new governor, Al Smith, will displace him after the first of the year. Mr. Muldoon is a fine old gentleman and all that, but he has some crazy personal notions about barring boxers he doesn't like. Im agine his taking the featherweight championship from Johnny Kilbanel Championships aren t settled that way in the public mind, and until the public accepts Mr. Muldoon s rulings, which it never will, they will serve no purpose but to make him foolish." ' The Beavers will divide their training next spring between two California towns Hanford . and Stockton. When Bill Klepper was in California recently on his way home . from the Louisville minor league meeting, he saw Bill Ken worthy and told him the final selec tion of a training camp or camps was up to him. Yesterday the duke telegraphed that he had closed arrangements for . Hanlord - - ana Stockton. - Hanford, being further south and in the sunshine belt. . will get the Beavers first. They will loosen up there for about three weeks and then repair to Stockton, which is the San- Francisco - latitude. Stockton will be a particularly con venient place for putting on. the finishing touches, for it has a good ball park, there are some high-class teams to give the Beavers real competition, and It is close to Sacra mento, where Portland opens the season this time. On top of disbarring Bill Klepper from baseball in ' its famous life sentence, the- national board of arbitration of the minor leagues, of which William H. McCarthy, presi dent of the Pacific Coast league, is one of the moving spirits, has handed down a ruling requiring the Portland baseball club to pay Tealey Raymond I960 and $500. Raymond was manager at Tacoma last season. After Klepper had gone in as,"angerr and paid up salaries to the date of disbandment Of the elub after the-Pacific Inter national league collapsed, Raymond produced an alleged Iron-clad con tract guaranteeing his salary for the season. The additional amount he demanded from Klepper was I960, which the Portland boss declined to pay! ' The foxy Raymond - appealed to Klepper's enemy,' McCarthy, win though president of another league than the Pacific International and seemingly without jurisdiction, or dered the money paid. Klepper ap pealed to the 'board of arbitration, which.answered by barring him for life and now orders the money .paid Raymond besides; The other 500. item is the fruit of a bright idea by Raymond. When Raymond was .managing the Yak ima club and Klepper was president at Seattle, Klepper two or three times made him a Christmas present of 1500 for having given tips on various players. Raymond turned around and put in a claim against Klepper on the alleged ground that he had once in. troduced him. to his prize left-hander, Rube Walberg. As a "matter of fact Raymond had nothing to do with bringing Walberg to Portland, but that didn't deter him from pre senting his claim to McCarthy, who ordered it paid. Klepper appealed that, too, to the. national board, which affirms its fellow member, McCarthy. ;. There's many a slip betwixt such an order and getting the cash, how ever, and before Tealey Raymond runs up any debts on the strength of it he'd better await legal devel opments. First skirmish in the court fight sure to come very prob ably will be over these payments to Raymond. Now comes word that Judge Lan dis himself is to pay Portland a call, His majesty will be here,it is said, about January 6. Object of visit un known. Perhaps he figures on at tending the Pacific coast league meeting t obe held here second week in January, at which his royal high ness, .William H. McCarthy, the crown prince, will preside.

FOOTBALL ON TIL FOR LIFE IK EAST Make-up of Jury to decide Game's Fate. FOUR GROUPS LINED UP Coaches, "Old Grads," Professors and Athletic Council Taking , Sides on Question. BY HUGH FULLEJtTON. ARTICLE I. (By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.) CHICAGO. Dec. 21. College foot ball, eastern at least, is on trial for its life. Whether the game lives and continues its phenomenal growth, as the favorite American college sport and the finest specta cle In athletics, or Is banished, or reduced to the state in intramural games depends upon the -character of the jury selected. If the jury is composed of presi dents and faculty members, foot ball will be banished unless the alumni brings financial pressure sufficient to influence them. If the Jury is composed of coaches and the majority of undergraduates and ath letic leaders, the sport will continue its tremendous growth. So intense is the feeling among leading educators, so bitter the jeal ousy of many faculty members, of the importance of football, that only alumni pressure"'and the fact that the entire physical educational pro gramme of the colleges would fall with football, which supports them, has held back, some faculties from drastic action. "Big Three" Takes Action. Yale, Harvard and Princeton, the "big three" of the east, the tradi tional leaders in the sport, already have curtailed their activities and in each- school a strong faction favors either further curtailment or entire suppression of intercollegiate games. The group of New England colleges, led by Amherst and Williams, has gone even further and proposes to go further. Harvard and Yale have surren dered entirely their proud boast of football supremacy, admitting that many other teams probably are stronger and declaring that' they have no championship aspirations save-between themselves. Further, Yale, Harvard and Princeton have decided never again to enter into international agree ments, and to ignore the west in the matter of athletic supremacy. I have just returned from a tour of investigation of . athletic condi tions in eastern colleges, especially at Yale, Harvard and Princeton. have talked with leaders of, each of the four elements entering into the athletic situation. For, in. severy school there are four different views of the sBort, held by distinct groups- Yet in each school the alliances be tween these groups differs so that it is necessary to study each from ijs own perculiar situation. Four Groups Formed. The four groups are the athletic committees composed of representa tives of all four groups, sometimes allied with one faction, sometimes with the other. The strongest group is represented by the coaches and their allies. The third group, which Is the, most conservative in most things and the most radical in football, is roughly, the members of the National Association of College Professors. The fourth is the "Old Grad" who usually is allied with the coaches, but who, under the present development of the situation, is be ing crowded out of the picture. There are variations at each school: Princeton just now flushed with victory, is satisfied to reduce the importance of the sport, slightly and keep it within bounds. Yale is reducing and has formu lated a comprehensive plan for 100 per cent athletics at Yale, which, however, is neither understood nor liked by a working majority. Har vard has worked out the problem better than any of the others, to the satisfaction of the majority of the groups, but. Harvard needing money for athletic development more than any school in the tri umvirate, stands in deadly fear that President Lowell will put further restrictions on football, if not fol lowing his original idea of restrict ing the sport to one game a year with Yale. Climax Declared Near. The situation, which has ap proached a climax in the eastern Schools, is certain to reach the same stage with every university, and college east and west. The experi ences and developments in the other schools may be valuable to them in solving their own problems. The consensus of opinion of the Princeton, Harvard and Yale lead ers, and this includes presidents, coaches, athletic directors, donna leading alumni editors of both stu dent and alumni publications and undergraduate leaders, compels the conclusion that the colleges have tnree alternatives: First, to build a stadium seat in e- 100,000 or more persons, enter into IootDau as an amusement enter prise, accommodate students, grad uates and friends and make football support all the physical education. departments. Restriction Is Proposed. Second, to restrict the sport to a strictly undergraduate basis, limit the number of games, curb the tendency toward professional coach ing staffs and practically bar all save students from the stands. Third, to abolish football entirely. The strong trend throughout the east is toward the middle course, and Yale, Harvard, Princeton and the , New England group already have laid that course. There is a strong indication that some of the leading western schools. especially the University of Chi cago, are planning to follow the big three in that policy. Chicago has had an expert from the university in Harvard the last week studying the Harvard system of football ticket distribution by which Harvard has succeeded In barring the public from its games and also "barring a great majority of the old graduates from getting seats. - Football Overdone. Opinion. -The athletic directors, coaches and the majority of those concerned in physical education are frankly of the opinion that football, east and west alike, has been overdone", . m that It has ovrshadowed at times the otheT activities of the colleges and received nndue prominence But the strongest opponents of the sport will not deny the financial Import ance of football which, in, the ma jority of the Institutions, Is the only money maker, and which supports track, field, rowing, gymnasium, swimming, baseball and basketball. as well as th-a physical drills. , Even this, however, would not prevent the radical element among the faculties from voting to elimi nate the sport but for the fact that,. H has proved Its power in holding the alumni groups together, sustain ing their Interest In the colleges and bringing them into support of finan cial projects. Problem Difficult. The problem of athletics and its relation to educational institutions cannot be solved by . studying the situation In any one. Nor can it be settled by accepting the solution of any group. It is the purpose of these articles to analyze the situation at Yale, Harvard and Princeton, to give the remedies and solutions found by their leaders, and to give the views of each of the four conflicting groups active In college life. In the next article we will take up Princeton and her problems, to gether with her relations to other schools. SISLER IS BEST BATTER EXAMINATION OF RECORDS PUTS COBB BEHIND. St. Louis Man's 1922 Mark Frac tion Better Than Detroiter's Average in 1911. NEW YORK, Dec 21. George Sisler of the St. Louis Americans, and not Ty Cobb, is entitled to rec ognition as holder ; of the highest batting average in the history of the American league, examination today of official statistics revealed. The Detroit managers mars oi .420, made In 1911, has been ac- rantfid Erenerally as the league s high mark, while" records for 1922 credited Sisler witn an average oi 419. Analysis of the two records, however, showed that Cobb's actual nercentaee in 1911 was .41962, whereas Sisler's mark for the past season, carried 6ut the same num ber of decimal places, was .41979. Giving Sisler's average the Dene- fit of the fraction exceeaing one- half, such as was done, in Cobb's case and as is generally customary now, hi3 record in round figures would be the Same as that of his Detroit rival 420. Cobb's percentage is based upon figures carried in baseball guides of 1912. regarded as orriciai, wnicn gave him 2f hits in 691 times at bat. Official American league aver ages for 1922 gave Sisler 246 hits in 586 times at bat. GOLF PLANS ARE ANNOUNCED Entries in Women's Events Are Judged by District Lists. CHICAGO. 111..

Stanford to Be on Lookout for Schemes in Intersectional Game December 30. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal., Dec. 21. (Special.) Although th Stanford commanders have a gen eral idea as to Pop Warner's plan of attack, they will be sharply on the lookout for some stunt for which the "old master" is famous in the Stanford-Pittsburg football game December 30. Warner depends a great deal on psychology, though when he first started it probably was known as "spirit." His exploits in nerving his teams to almost Impossible tasks are in dicative of his methods of leader ship. Everyone here has heard how he gathered his men into quarters just before the Washington and Jef ferson game this year and read to them a statement of "Greasy" Neale's. The' president's coach had said it ought to be easy to defeat Pittsburg, as the team was a second rater. i This got the Panther players so hopping mad that they went on the turf and walloped Neale's phalanx 19 to 0. A few years ago Warner worked much the same strategy. His team was in the dumps from a series of unlucky plays and considerable bonehead work, which no amount of instruction seemed to remedy. War ner called his men together the night before their game with La fayette, and told them flatly that he was through with them. They were not a football team, he said, and they could go out and forget all their training rules as they had already forgotten all their, football. That might, according to Tiny Thornhlll, who tells the story, the Pitt eleven broke training rules into a thousand pieces. Next day they came into the locker rooms full of remorse and determined to redeem themselves or die trying. They car ried this spirit into the game and just about half killed the surprised Lafayette boys. The tale of the hidden ball, punc tured and slipped udder the shirt of a Carlisle Indian until that player was over the goal line, has crossed and recrossed the continent many times. Now, according to Warner's former associates, comes the true mean'ng of that famous ruse. War ner saw his team had been fighting a scoreless battle for two quarters and was about ready to break. So was the opposition. He put over his stunt, which gave the Indians a goal, a head start on their oppo nents, and new heart to go in and clean up. At the same time It broke the spirit of the other eleven. Just what stunt Warner will pull on the Cards December 30 no one knows, probably not even Warner himself. But he and his men wU nave Dlentv of time to hatch un . scheme on the long train rjde to the 1 coasi. Anay iterr will be ready for ' flnvth'nt. anil In .HiHnn whianapa that lie has something concealed in his own coat sleeve. There is a possibility that spec tators at the Pitt-Card battle will witness a team that does not call signals. Ih several games this sea son Warner has ordered his men to gang around and consult each other before each play, so as to disconcert the opposition. MATCH .
