Next to Johnson, It Is Longest
Among Great Players in
the Big Leagues.
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

actually travels through a greater dis
tance the Inexorable result is that he
gives the ball a greater velocity be

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

with it in the short time intervening
between now and actual battle Is the
problem that Is worrying all followers

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
