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

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.

True Gold Mines of Ireland.
Letter from Ireland. Chicago Record
Herald. 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."
