Team Far Down in Batting and Fislding Is Up Near Top of League. LONG ARM IS AID TO SPEED ANSWER IS HAPPY HOGAN Fditor I nnc. of Baseball Magazine Advances Figures to Prove His Theory Longer Swing Adds to Ball's Velocity. Bill James may not commit arson In the American League next season, but the Portland Coast slabblst possesses natural physical advantages that should some day make him a second Rube Waddell, a Walter Johnson or an Amos Kusle. "Laughing Bill" is possessed of the longest reach in baseball. A tape measure in the hands of an Oregonlan expert resulted in this startling- dis covery yesterday. Cy Falkenbcrg. the giant Cleveland pitcher, tops all present major leag uers with an extreme reach of 79 & inches. This human obelisk stands 6 feet 5 inches tall, one-half inch greater altitudinally than James. The perfect man. so physiologists have taught us. has a reach exactly the same as his hight. Falkenbergs reach, therefore, is 2 inches above the normal. Big Ones Have Some Reach. Slim Sallee lias a reach of 78 Inches, but he surveys the world from an alti tude of 75 i inches, so his excess is 2rt inches. ean Gregg has a react, of 77 t Inches, but he is 6 feet 2 hi inches 'tall. His excess reach is 2Vi Inches. Christy Mathewson has a reach of 76 inches, fully 3 inches be yond what It should be normally. Walter Johnson, of Washington, is 6 feet 1 inch tall and has a reach of 78',i Inches, a variation of 5hi Inches. It is the greatest- excess in baseball and accounts for Johnson's remarkable speed. Kd Reulbach has a reach of 77 inches and a hclghth of 8 feet 1 inch. His excess is 4 '.4 Inches. Reul bach in his day was the speediest pitcher in the business. Now. to get buck to Bill James, of Portland, whose fast ones have been compared to Waddell's, Reulbach's and Jonnson's by those who have seen them all in their prime. Jlmcii Next to Jobnnon. James has' an extreme reach of 81 inches, 1 inches greater even than Falkenberg's and 4 inches above the normal, for his heisht Is 76 14 inches. Tuat puts him up in a class with John son and Reulbach. Part of this extreme reach in all these almost deformed pitching won ders is taken up by the breadth of shoulder, partly by the non-pitching arm. James' left arm is 34 inches in length; his pitching flipper 33 inches in length. Most twirling wings are shorter after a few seasons of activ ity. Gene Krapp. for Instance, has a three-degree bend in his salary wing. But only Johnson exceeds James in length of pitching arm. The figures are: Gregg 32 inches, bailee 32 inches. Reul bach 33 inches, Falkenberg 33 inches, James 33 inches, Johnson. 34 inches. Speed Due t-j Arra'n Length. Writing in the Baseball Magazine for October, F. C. Lane, editor, uses these figures to prove his theory that Johnson's extreme speed is due entire ly to his wonderfully long pitching arm. And the clever writer's figures appear decisive. "What gives the pitched ball its speed? There can be but one answer," says Lane. "All the momentum is im parted by that sweep of the hand from the instant when the motion be gins to the instant when the ball leaves the fingers on its flight across the plate. This is simple, clear, con clusive, push a barrel in front of you on the ground. If you give it a sudden kick with your foot It will roll a cer tain distance. If you give it a long, hard push it will roll much farther. The same simple law applies to the force behind the baseball. Other things being equal, the greater the sweep of the hand that drives it the greater the speed with which it will travel. As the pitcher swings his arm to deliver the ball the hand that holds the sphere roughly passes through the arc of circle. His shoulder is the center of that circle, his arm the radius. The longer the radius the longer the arc, according to geometry, or. In plain baseball language, the longer the arm the longer the sweep of the hand as it makes the delivery. "For this law to hold true the long- armea pitcher must go through the mo tions ol delivery In the same fraction of a second as the short-armed pitcher, .probably pitchers vary in the time of this sweep: but that is not lmnortant i ne vnai point is this: There is nf inherent reason why they should varv The long-armed pitcher can move his arm through the sweep of the throw as fast as the short-armed pitcher. And since ins nand describes a larger arc. actually travels through a greater dis tance the Inexorable result is that he gives the ball a greater velocity be cause or that added length of arm.

SPITBALIi BAX IS PROBABLE Wilmiiistoii Board of Health Will Legislate on Hygienic Grounds WILMINGTON'. Del.. Sept. 20. (Spe cial.) The spitba will be under the ban in ilmington If a resolution in troduced at a meeting of the Board of xiemia is aaopted. The spitball was attacked on the ground that it undermines the health of players. The resolution was signed by Dr. H Briggs. George C. Hutton and Frank C. bparks, prominent mem bers of the Board of Health, and all rooters for the Wilmington club, which has Just won the Tri-State Leaguo championship. Dr. Briggs also is surgeon at the County Hospital, and has missed hut few Tri-State games this season. He is particularly bitter against the spit ter. The reasons, he said, were purely hygienic. If the law is adopted, as is expected, signs will have to be dis played on the Tri-State grounds next year forbidding the use of the spitball under penalty. In this event, Wil mington will lead the way in promot ing sanitary baseball. Mfssonrl Southpaw Has Record. ST. LOUS, Sept. 10. (Special.) barney i-elty, former pitcher of the Browns, has written here recommend ing A. G. Murphy, a wooden-legged southpaw who has been twirling in the Southeast Missouri League, as ready for the big arena. He has averaged 11 strikeouts a game in the bushes, Bar ney says, and has good speed and change of pace. His wooden-legged delivery seems quite effective. Judging by his record. He has won 22 and lost three games for Farmington this year. In 1S12 he won 32 and lost eight for St. Edward. Neb. "He never has been hit for more than seven hits a game," says Barney. BT PORTU8 BAXTER, SEATTLE, Sept. 20. (Special.) With the coming of the final week In the race of the Northwestern League pennant, .interest centers In the strug gle between the Portland Colts and the Seattle Tllllkums for second place. It looks as though the finish would be close and exciting, with Seattle having such advantage as may be figured from meeting the Tacoma Tigers six games on their (Seattle's) home grounds while Portland Is battling against the Indians In Spokane. Portland will play seven consecutive games against Snokane. hut Seattle's schedule Is slightly different, because they make a switch after meeting Ta coma six days, and hook up with Van couver on the last day of the season. Week before last Portland started a grand rush toward the top, taking Van couver down the line in good style. Considering the way they trampled on Seattle on their previous visit there was reason to believe the Colts would make things warm for the Tllllkums. The Tllllkums, however, have Improved wonderfully since locating in their new home and offered strong opposition, ex cept in last Tuesday's game, when the Colts went on a batting rampage and nothing could stop them. Canucka Have Safe Lead. Vancouver, with only one week to play, has a strong hold on first place, and It is not within the bounds of rea son that they should be pulled down enough by Victoria, whom they meet in a six-game series, to endanger their position. Spokane is making strenuous efforts to get out of last place and their hope is a successful week against Portland, with a corresponding triumphal prog ress for Seattle against Tacoma. Victoria has harbored the ambition of moving into third place "over Seattle but with Seattle playing better ball an Victoria meeting Vancouver In the home stretch there seems little chance of such a thing coming to pass. The draft by the major leagues struck Seattle in three places Pltche Alva Gipe, Pitcher Willard Meikle an general utility player. Hoy Brown, wh lived in Portland last Winter. Clncln nati took Gipe. and Brown, and so far no one has been discovered who per suaded President Herrmann or Manager Joe Tinker that they were the men he needed to build up his team. Gipe is grand hitter and was the leading pitcher in the Northwestern League until he hurt his shoulder while chars Ing flies in Portland If his arm Is ail right next Spring Cincinnati will have good prospect. Irrespective of his arm he is good enough for any team to carry as a pinch hitter. I doubt whether he would be fast enough on his feet for an outfielder, but if he should develop enough speed to hold down a Job in the garden he would be foolish ever to try pitching again. bo far I have never met pitcher who did not give Gipe credit for being a natural .300 hitter. From September 14 to September 18 he won two games for Seattle with his "pinch" hitting. Gipe Is a fine specimen of manhood physically and has excellent habits. Meikle Carve Ball Pltcfcer. Meikle was not a successful pitch er in the Coast League and he did not ao wen for Tacoma last year, but af ter he came to Seattle he closed the season of 1912 in major league form. He did not get under way early this ear, but was winning all the time when he hurt his elbow and since that time has been of no use to Seattle. There fs no reason to think that his arm will not be all right next Spring. Warm weather seems to suit him and when he Is right no pitcher in the league has a better curve ball. Roy Brown is a youngster who has hown wonderful form in fielding at different times and then astonished verybody by falling down on" easy hances. Some fans think he will ventually be a wonderful inflelder. while others frankly admit they aro at sea. Gossip has It that Coast League clubs will take Charlie Fullerton, who is now playing right field, and Catcher Cadman. The club that takes Fuller- ton will make no mistake. He is one of the smartest ballplayers In the game today and he is a worker. Given one game a week he Is good enough to pitch anywhere. Up to the time Cadman was hit on the head by a pitched ball and knocked senseless, he was Seattle's cleanup hitter and was catching major league balL He is now catching well, but his batting is not what it was by a wide margin. New Park la Snrceaa. The new baseball park has been even more of a success than President Dug dale anticipated. Fans and players all agree that Mr. Dugdale went far be yond their expectations in providing Seattle with a home for the National pastime. Those who were constant attendants at the old park say that the class of ball appears to have improved vastly. It Is a matter of record that the scores have been much lower than formerly and the fielding much better. Most of the Infield errors have been due to the sharp edges of the new "cut outs" between the bases. The fans are also beginning to realize that the park is not .far out. The University of Washington foot ball squad is now getting squared away for the season's work. Coach Dobie has a hard task. There is considerable HOW COAST PITCHERS FARED AGAINST RIVALS green material, but what can be done with it in the short time intervening between now and actual battle Is the problem that Is worrying all followers of the champions. DEMARKST IS AFTER TITLE EVERY club has Its pitching Jinx and every pitcher his batting jinx. Hlgginbotham has a cinch against Sacramento; James finds Oakland easy; Fanning, of the-Seals, can throw his glove in against Los Angeles and Oak land and chalk up a win; Malarkey, of the Oaks, has whipped Secramento five straight and also turns an evil orb Veniceward.

September 14 lnclualva. William Hoppe Will Be Challenged by Chicago Aspirant. CHICAGO, III.. Sept. 20. Calvin Demarest. of Chicago, who has held three billiard titles, in spite of the fact that he was not 27 years old until June 20, is preparing for another assault on the world's professional 18.1 and 18.2 balkline championships, both of which are in the proud possession of William Hoppe, of New York. Demarest's last crack at Hoppe was in the big 18.2 championship tourna ment, held at Hotel Astor in New York in the Fall of 1912, which Hoppe won with the veteran, George Slosson, also of New York, second, and Koji Yamada of Toklo, Japan, third. In that event Demarest fell before the champion, but defeated Yamada, the Japanese proving the real sensation of the tournament, inasmuch as the Oriental was prac tically unknown to the billiard world until landing in New York from Berlin, a few weeks prior to the start of the championship games. . Nevertheless Yamada lowered the colors of several of the great masters of the game and was the ouly player in the tournament to beat Hoppe. In April, 1912, Demarest, primed for battle, invaded New York and was beaten 60 points by Hoppe in -a single- handed match for the 18.2 champion ship. On that occasion as in the big tournament later Calvin did not ap proach the substantial runs and aver ages he had accomplished in practice. which was a sore disappointment to him. ' Demarest is confident of his ability to wrest the world's crown from Honoe and win, in the near future, formally enter a challenge to his brilliant New York rival. He may not be the first to meet Hoppe during the season's cnampionsnip play, but he will be taken on In due time by the titleholder and when his chance comes, Demarest alms to be in A NV. 1 fettle for the struggle. His first challenge to Hoppe will be for the 18. Z championship, and, win or lose, he will afterward hurl a defl at William the Conqueror" for the lat- tor's 18.1 emblem, which the champion won from Ora Mornlngstar of Pitts burgh, last Spring. . . Logging Firm to Have Cluhrooins MARSHFIELD, Or.. Sept. 20. (Spe cial.) The Smith-Powers Logging Company is making arrangements to establish club rooms, patterned some what after the railroad Y. M. C. A. system, in its logging camps. Reading rooms, games and baths will be pro vided. John A. Goodwell, of Portland. head of the Industrial department of the T. M. C. A. work, was here this week conferring with them about put ting in the new clubhouses. They will be started as soon as the company es tablishes permanent camps along the new logging road it is building beyond Myrtle Point, which will be some time this Winter. Nick Williams announces that Mays, the Colt underhanded shooter will pitch for the Colts In their game against the Beavers a week from Mon day1 on tho local grounds. The Beaver twlrler la still a mystery, but McCrodie will send In his best to stave off the ignominy of a possible defeat. The entire family of Colts will be on hand to help the playing members In flict as much injury as possible. In the meantime they will have a special brand of cigars prepared for all good fans who are willing to take a seat In the Colt side of the grandstand. With the Beavers in the lead and the Colts near the top the battle will be one worth seeing. The attendance undoubtedly will be large. It will be a case of a city divided against .Itself, with the fans who have stuck together all Summer pouring forth maledic tions upon each other. That will end the Colts work for the year and they will scatter to their homes, mostly on the Pacific Coast. What some of them will do during the dark months is tabulated below: Carl Mays Leave for Kansas City for his home a short distance from the city. Will hunt and fish then return to his parents' ranch until Spring. "Bobby" Coltrin After making the barnstorming trip down the Coast will go to San Jose immediately where he will rack the ivories in his poolroom. Dan Murray Will go to his home In Bakersfield, Cal., for several weeks and then Journey to the Southern part of the state to play Winter ball with the Major League stars. Will report In the Spring to the Beavers. Elmer Martlnonl Will leave for his home In Oakland and then play Winter ball in the South to be in condition for the first call in March. . Carl King One of the two players who will settle in Oregon. He is in terested in a poolroom in Salem and may locate there permanently. Norman Youmans (mascot) Get back to Portland as soon as possible to enter school again. Harry Heilmann Going to Los An geles f or , a month, then up to San Francisco and on to St. Helena where he will visit Guigni.. Both will go on hunting trips. JVM report to Detroit Americans' training camp. Phil Guigni Will assist his brother Bnyless Is Xeiv Loader of Bats men, With Loner, and Speas Hunners-l'p Krueger Xot Vet in .200 List. Hap Hogan's Venice ball club is the enigma of the 1913 Pacific Coast League race. The Tigers got off to a far worse start than Portland; the club has beer crippled more than any other, per haps, in the circuit; it is not among the leaders in the fielding statistics and ranks almost last in batting. Yet Venice is in the first division, battling tor the pennant as it has been doing for three years past. The answer is: Hogan. Happy seems to get the work out of his men as no other manager could. The batting statistics issued for tho season up to this week show Portland as a team batting .269 in first place. Sacramento ranks second, Los Angeles third and San Francisco fourth. Bayless, Lober, Speas and Maggart were the leading batters up to this week. Bayless topped the Hat with .316. Gus Hetllng, of the Oaks, winner of the auto last season as symbolic of tho best all-around player In the league. Is down to .254. Schallen, new Seal outfielder, seems to have proved a dis appointment, as he has been battlny only .238.
