Newspaper Page Textft BEARS OF E Life of Twirler Is Not Bed of Roses, Says Addie Joss. UNDER CONSTANT STRAIN Man In Box Target for Coaches of Opponents and at All Times Realizes His Rcspoii--Bibility. BY ADDIE JOSS. OF CLEVELAND CLUB. To the casual observer it would seem that a major league pitcher's life isone continual bed of roses, especially I- he b fortunatfl enough to be succesui in winning a good percentage of tho games in which he officiates. At nrsi. mis seems a fair conclusion to draw, but when one delves a little farther into the matter. It soon becomes evident that this is an erroneous impression. It Is true that nitcblmr tnrinv and then resting for the irt throA or four davs has Its advan tages, but the acquiring of this privilege also carries with it a few things that, as a rule, seldom, if ever, comes to the minds of the baseball-loving public. In the first place, the pitcher must work as a minor league apprentice some years before he is even given so much as a chance to show his major league ability. Once this privilege is granted him. Its better than an even bet that he will find Innumerable difficulties with which to contend before he wins a permanent berth on his rlub-s pitching staff. A sore arm In tho Spring, or a little bad luck in the club's Southern exhibition games, alt tend tl make his none-too-light task harder. With all these obstacles overcome, and secure in the knowledge that he is consid ered one of the regulars, he still has nu merous difficulties to face. Bears Brunt of Game. In this day and age of baseball, when the game has practically developed Into a one-man game, that man being the pitcher, no pitcher walks out on the field without knowing that the winning of that game in a large measure depends on his individual efforts. He knows only too well that the least slip-up on his part will Invariably spell defeat for his team. Then he must be able to hold his own under fire. The young pitcher is a mark for the coaches of the opposing side, and woe be unto him if he shows by any sign that what they say makes any impression upon him. It is not at all wonderful that so few ran stand the terrific strain to which they are subjected. No player in the team is called upon to go through such a baptism as he. What the other players of a team have to go through is as nothing com pared to the Initiation of a pitcher. Theirs Is comparatively an easy thing. ' Not only must a pitcher be cool, col lected, fearless, with a strong arm and good command, but he must be an adept fielder, able to handle the most difficult of bunts and to throw the ball to any of the bases according to the emergency. A miss In any instance Is apt to be fatal to his success in the game. Backs Up Every Base. Then not only must he be able to do this part of the work correctly, but on all bunts to the first baseman he must cover the bag himself. Then he is expected to i." he in case of throws from k. i.n out fielders. If any player .1 - . i.o. . himv time of It from I? "17. .,, nn'tlr field till the game is over, it is the pitcher. The mere physical exertion required of nltcher Is little inaeea tuu.i In order ith the strain on nis for a Pitcher to do his best. In any con test he must be. keyed up to about 99 per cent of his energy: and when one I, forced to this moi than once every three davs. something is bound to give v One often is told how they used to pitch In the olden day when the club had hut one pitcher: and of the wonder ful record of Radbourn. who landed the pennant for Providence almost single handed. In the beginnings of profes sional leagues there were not the num ber of games that there are today. The clubs did not play more than four games a week at most, filling in the open dates with exhibition games. Now It is an every-day affair. Needs Three Bays' Best. Again, there was not the strain In pitching in days gone by that there la today. A man may be perfectly willing to go tn and pitch as often as he Is re tjuested. but he is bound to conserve his forces and if he overworks disastrous consequences will be sure to follow. It generally happens, when a man works twice in the same series that he will lose the second game. He needs Just about three days- rest, and if he does not get It. he Is taking great risk. Occasionally a pitcher will work in both games of a double-header. If his arm Is In good shape and he Is feeling right, there Is no reason why he should not do it. It Is no worse than work ing In a protracted game: pitchers have worked for 24 hours without feeling any ill results at all. Such great pitchers as Mathewson and Young have been obliged to succumb to the strain of working too frequently, without a sufficient rest be tween working days. A pitcher. Is no nere machine. ' Strain of I-onff Trips. Besides the constant strain to which a Ditcher is subjected, there are some sther matters that must not be forgot :en. Long railroad rides, especially In -lot weather, are most tiresome and fa tiguing to all players, but especially to the pitcher who la booked to work the next day. Take, for example, such a trip as that from St. Louis to Boston, which requires two nights and a day on :he road. It takes a little time to rest ,'rom uch an arduous journey, and if the train is late, matters are wow; for there is hurry to get to the hotel, take a sath. partake of a meal In haste and !nen hustle for the ball ground. A man .s incapable of his best work under such rlrcumstances. It has happened In case of a delay in traveling that the ballplayer goes directly 'rom the train to the ball ground, and is ohliged to don his uniform on the train something that is altogether too stren uous. This does not occur very often; but. when it does. It Is a tired lot of ball players that gather on the field: and If the game Is won. It Is a wonder Indeed. Yet I have known a team completely fagged and travel-worn to go on the field and give a sound drubbing to a club that had the benefit of a night's rest. You can never tell what may happen. In such a case sleep Is not beautiful after such an experience. I am of the opinion that a pitcher a bat try If possible ought to be sent ahead o as to obtain a rest of a night. This U sometimes done, but it is exceptional. Weather Great Handicap. Probably the greatest handicap to a pitcher Is the weather. This Is especially true of the early days of the Spring. Yery tew of the major league pitchers PITCHER BRUNT GAM come North after their Spring trip in Julv condition. Should a man go In to work on a cold Spring day. there Is more or less danger of ruining his arm for the remainder of the season. If not for all time. The pitcher must go in and pitch Just as hard as If the month was July: he cannot refuse to work. Some clubs refuse to work their best pitchers under such conditions. I consider this very good policy indeed. Good pitchers are scarce, and It is very foolish to take the least chance with a man who is sure to do good sustained work after the season able weather arrives. A pitcher naturally becomes heated while at work, and perspires more or less freely. If he does not take great care of his arm between Innings, by keeping It well protected, he Is liable to suffer. This Is especially true on a cold or rainy Spring day. So. from beginning to end. the pitcher s life Is a round of hard work, trouble and care. All Is not roses. But still the life Is worth while.

Beyond Portarllngton we got our first glimpses of the bogs of which we are told one-sixth of the surface 01 Ireland is covered, an area, of not lesa than 2.800,000 acres. ogs are popularly supposed to be due to the depravity of the natives, who are too lazy to drain them and have al lowed the good land to run to waste and become covered with water and rotten vegetation, but this theory was effectively disposed of by science long ago. Every body should know that the bogs of Ire land are not only due to the natural growth of a spongy moss called sphag num, but are the eource of the fuel sup ply of the people and have a value much greater than that of the drier and higher land. I was reading the other day the report of a "bogs commission, In which these swamps were described ae; "the true gold mines of Ireland." and estimated as "Infinitely more valuable than an Inex- I hauzlible supply of the precious metal."
