EDUCATION COUNTS TODAY Giants' Great Pitcher, Writing: tor The Oreejonian, Relates Interest ing Story of How He Crossed His Own Catcher. BT CHRISTY MATHEWSON. On the special train we duff up a new subject the ' other day baseball. As usual, we were "talking: shop." M Graw and Callahan were discussing: the peculiarities of certain pitchers, and the conversation swung: around to "Kd Walsh-and whether he would ever be his old self again. Callahan thought he would. Then said Motiraw: "Walsh did something; that I never remember seeing: any other pitcher di, 'Jimmie.' For a long: time the Ath letics always hit him hard. Mack s club was one of the few that the bis pitcher couldn't seem to beat. Thn suddenly, he had it on Mack's team and used to make them look foolish. Now, when a man is beaten regularly by a team, it is seldom that he can evor switch and win from it consistently. The psychology of the game ia against him. How do you account for it?'" "I'll tell you, John." answered Calla han. "There was no psychology in that. It was Just Walsh's cap that kept him from beating the Athletics. You know. Big 'Ed' is one of thoja pitchers to whom all ball clubs look alike. He never worries about what man is facing him. He is just in there pitching his game. Hut the Athletics could always seem to tell when he was going to throw his spitter. and that is all he carries. He seldom uses a curve, just the fast one and the spit ter. Itsksgt Point Is SoiiKht. "We got to thinking they were steal ing our signs and did everything to find out -where the leak was. Walsh used to get sore about it. Every time he would throw a spitter the batters would Just stand up at the plate and laugh at him. They wouldn't take a wallop at it, but wait for the fast on-i. Then they would slough tho ball. The harder 'Ed' threw them, the further they would slough it. " 'They're getting our signs some place,' protested "Ed' to me. 'Every time I throw a spitter they know it and wait for the fast ball.' "I got another idea that they were not stealhitr niKnn, but were watchlntr SPORT -NEWS ASQ11ALL players, as a general thing, like football, but few except ing those who hail from the colleges, are vitally concerned In the doings on the tan bark fields.

Walter Doane won three letters, baseball, basketball ar.d football, at Delaware State College. : Bill Speas is another football fan and so is little Bobby Davis. Speas starred In foot ball and basketball at Toledo, basket ball being his particular hobby. He and Fred Merkel of the New York Giants hobnobbed on the same aggre gation. Even Walter McCredie blushlngly admits to having pawed the turf In a football uniform. He and Cap. Bras hear of Venice adorned the same line for a college in the Middle West, ac cording to Brashear, who says they both were professionals. The Venice club boasts of three or four gridiron knights. Ed Klepfer, the big twirler purchased from the New York Americans, starred at Pennsyl vania State, the institution that gave Birdie Cree to the Yankees. Klepfer, too, was a bear at basketball.

They used to be able to tell when Prank Smith, who was once with the White Sox, was going to use his spit ter by watching his eyes. He looked at the ball when he really spat on it and didn't when he was only bluffing:. Callahan Finds Trouble. "I began to study Walsh, myaelf. One day I noticed that every time he reallv wet the ball when he put his hands up to hia mouth, he lifted his eyes a little bit. and the peak of his cap went up with the eyes. He always wore his cap in a peculiar way. If he just bluffed at wetting the ball, the cap never moved. It was as good as a flag. After the game I grabbed him. " 'Ed," I said, 'you are tipping off those guys yourself. Those Athletics have & lot of smart fellows on the team, and every time you wet the ball you lift your eyes with your mouth and your cap goes up. I'm going to work you again " day after tomorrow, and I want you to cross those fellows. When you really wet the pill, be sure to hold your eyes steady so that your cap won't jnove. When you don't wet it, move your eyes and work the old peak up and down. "It was a four-game series, and Walsh had worked the first battle against Mack's sluggers. He went back again in the third game because ha was a horse for work when he was right. And he probably would be right now if he had not been worked so much. Well, Walsh crossed those fellows with his cap and made them look foolish. Every time his cap moved, they were looking for a spit ter and got a fast one. That is how Walsh happened to get better against the Athletics, John," concluded Calla han. When Matty Crossed His Own Catcher. Speaking of batters being tipped off to what the pitcher is going to offer, recalls an experience I had when I was working in Taunton, several years ago, before I broke into the big league. The college man was looked down upon in professional baseball in those days as an Invader, and the old, rough birds used to hate to see him. I remember that they put me in to work one day, and the opposing batters were Just stepping into curves and . waiting for fast ones and slathering the ball all over the lot. At last I noticed my catcher was saying something to each batter that came to the plate, and I suspected he was tipping them to what he was ask ing me to pitch. So I began to cross my own catcher as well as the batters and got along lots better, except that he had several passed balls and com menced to get sore. Finally he walked out to the box and said: "Haven't you got brains enough to throw what I sign for?" "Not when you are tipping the hit ters," I answered. "I'm out here to win whether you are r not." He. "beefed" and stalled around, but I knew I was right. Years afterward he told me that he was tipping the batters because he was afraid his old pal, who was a pitcher, would be let out if I made good. He was trying to save him his job and iseep a college man from coming Into the game at the same time. Thar was the spirit with which college men were regarded when I first broke into baseball. Now it is altogether different. They are looking for the boys with an education. (Copyrlrht. 1813, by the Wheeler Syndl- eate. Inc.) POT POURRI high school. Kane was also- a great hurdler in his day.

UBE'S STIR DESCENDS O.NCK IDOL. OP FAN DOM, PLAYER NOW FAILING. Failure to Train in Spring Is Partly Illamed for "Showing Up" of Big Giant Slab Artist. NEW YORK, Nov. 8. (Special.) One short year often makes a big dif ference in the prospects, reputation and standing of a ballplayer. It was only 12 months ago that Rube Marquard had pretty near the center of the baseball stage, and his name took up much space in big, broad letters on head Unas in the sporting pages of the newspapers. What he would do or would not do was heralded broadcast, and there was at that time terrible agitation for fear that he might adopt the "stoige" per manently and leave baseball flat. Immediately after the world's series of 1912 was finished ICube and his pres ent wife started out on -a vaudeville engagement that took in the country from East to West. Rube had won two games in the series between the Giants and Boston Red Sox for the championship of the universe, and he had also during the National League season won 19 straight games, tying the pitching record of consecutive wins. Fans predicted all sorts of dire dis aster for the Giants unless Rube would deign to play again with the clan Mc Graw. Rube had a good press agent, who kept the wires red-hot telling about how good and great a pitcher Marquard was and how poor a manager McGraw was. Fans got wild-eyed over the con troversy between the manager and the pitcher. Both were in vaudeville and doubtless both desired some benefit from the advertising they received but it can be said and pertinently so, that Rube needed the advertising, while McGraw did not, consequently Rube did all the skyhigh flying. When In March last year, the news arrived that Marquard had decided to live up to his contract and play with the Giants again, a sigh of relief went up from New York fans that sounded like the blowing of the wind that shoots, scoots and whistles around the Flatiron building cn a stormy day. It was fondly imagined that the suc cess of the Giants, their ability to win tho National League pennant again de pended entirely on Marquard rejoining the team. There were not a few of the Giants themselves who imagined the same thing, and there was much rejoicing in the Marlin training camp when the nows was received from Scout Pi,-1 Klnsella That Rube had announced his ii.tentio". of coming back. But neither the fortunes of the Giants, the New York club, the National League nor the great National game appear to hinge on what Marquard will do next year. On the contrary. Rube Is the one who is on the anxious seat. That it is the intention of McGraw to trade Marquard to the Boston Nationals for Pitcher Tyler, also a southpaw twirler, is tiie general opinion. Hints liavvi been thrown out to that effect, although the prospective deal has not been authoritatively announced. But it Is on tap nevertheless. And one short year has caused Mar quard to lose the great prestige as an invaluable pitcher. There are some who think that if Marquard had Joined the Giants in Mar lin and had the advantage to be gained by the Spring training he would have been the same winning pitcher he was in 1912. He did not Join the toam until the pitchers were on their way north. Rube and his wife met the club in Houston, Tex., and ho pitched very little on the way home. He had to got into shape in one-day stands, and. although he tried hard and conscientiously to train himself, conditions and circumstances were against him, and when the cham pionship season started he was far from being in nis true form.

BAN JOHNSON LIKES HIM McCredie, Leaving; for Columbus to Attend League Meeting, Says Rodgers or Ixber May Go to Eastern Club. George Hildebrand is one of the best umpires in the American League, ac cording to Buddy Ryan, former Port land batting demon, who is visiting from Cleveland. Next to Blly Evans, the veteran. Ryan ranks Hildebrand as the best in the Ban Johnson circuit. "Hlldy had a little trouble winding up the post season series at St. Louis, but he was in the right," said Buddy. "American League players, as a rule, like Hildy and share my belief. 1 know Ban Johnson likes his work, for he gave him a $500 bonus and an in crease in salary for next year." Hildebrand went to the majors last Spring after several successful sea sons in the Pacific Coast League. Ho la by far the most popular arbiter that graced the Coast circuit in years. Buddy Ryan had his boosting clothes on yesterday, for he also was out with a sendoff for Steve O'Neill, the Cleve land catcher. Ryan says this 20-year-old backstop is superior to Wally Schang, tho highly touted Philadelphia Athletic receiver. 'Schang is continually dropping balls behind the plate, whereas O'Neill rare ly drops a ball that hits his glove. O'Neil is smarter than Schang, too," added Buddy. m m m Walter McCredie. manager of the Portland Coast champions, departed Friday morning for Columbus. O.. where he will attend the minor league' meeting. "I expect to confer with numerous big league and minor league managers and may put througn two or three deals." remarked McCredie. "But 1 haven't any particular stunts in mind. If I can. make a good trade for Lind say, I'll let him go elsewhere for the benefit of his health. "Likewise. I'll see Charley Somen and settle my deals with Cleveland. 1 can't say now whether Rodgers or Lo ber will go to Cleveland, but I guess one or the other will. The Naps have Lajole and Turner available for sec ond, so if Rodgers goes, it will be be cause I want him to have his show. "He is good enough for the majors and has given me so much that 1 will go the limit to assist him up the lad der." "How about Walter Doane?" was asked. "Well." replied McCredie, "Doane is good enough for any major club, but the Naps have had him twice already and I guess will not want to try him again" When in the East McCredie will fry to land one new pitcher, to take Bill James' place, one catcher and perhaps an infielder or outfielder, if Lober or Rodgers go up. Portland's holdovers are: Catchers. Fisher and Berry; pitchers. West. Krapp, Krause, Higginbotham. Stan ley. Hagerman: infielders. Derrick. Rodgers. Davis, Bancroft, Kores and Lindsay: outfielders, Lober, Chad bourne, Doane and Speas. There is a muscle-bound rumor go ing around --that Ted Easterly, of the Chicago Sox, will be on the backstop plng corps of the Venice Tigers next year. Ted Is a great hitter, but a poor receiver. He was with Cleveland for several seasons. Some Thin First Sacker Is Hap Myers Nsrsnrllle Tclln Wiy He hat Sorry Big Leaguer Went to Minors. NEW YORK, Nov. 8.
