If Learned, Delivery Would Become Main Stock in Trade or Most Twirlers, , Is Declaration. Bar Held Impossible. The "mudbair was discovered by ac cident, according to Jack Ryan, who is given credit for having first Introduced It Into the Coast League but a short, time ago. On the bench yesterday at Recrea tion Park, the Los Angeles siabster told how the "mudball" was discov ered. "About three weeks ago I picked up a hall partially covered with mud and threw it at the catcher. I was sur prised to. see the ball break nearly six Inches. I tried It several times and it always worked." The "mudball" would become the main stock in trade of most pitchers according to Ryan, but it is the hard est ball .to control that was ever heaved to a catcher. To throw the ball, said Jack, "all you have to do is to moisten one side of the ball and sprinkle a little dust over tho damp spot. Then grip it the way you want it to break. Just as you would hold any other balL If you want a drop, hold it so the mud comes on the lower side of the ball, and vice versa. There is no difference in throw ing the "mudball" than there. is in any other, except that it is hard to get over the plate." Ryan said that he did not see how they could bar the new ball, for if they did the spit-ball would also have to be eliminated as well as using rosin and other substances. Ryan advises other twirlers not to try to learn the "mudball" delivery, as he declares that their practice in try ing to get it over the plate will spoil their pitching. 11-13 28-19 14-18 23-19 28-82 23-19 11-13 23-14 18-12 lo-ia 9-14 27-24 7-ltf 19-15 A-32-2S 12-17 14-17 14-7 11-18 - H-9 21-14 5-19 , 24-19 22-28 17-1S 8-IS SO-2 18-23 1S-11 2-6 26-23 5-14 19-15 2S-33 15-22 18-27 25-21 10-19 31-22 8-11 32-23 8-11 17-1 u Ki.u 2A--2H 39-24 21-17 4-8 10-10 1-8 1-6 23-20 24-20 6-15 22-17 24-28 B-n-13 15-24 13-9 13-18 6-10 Drawn.

Pelkey Floored Four Times. EAU CLAIRE. Wis., Aug. 28. Fred Fuiton. of Rochester. Minn., was award ed a newspaper decision over Arthur Pelkey in a 10-round bout here tonight Pelkey was floored four times in the fourth round, twice fof '.he count of nine. The men are heavyweights. Lefty Williams, of Salt Lake, may not break the season strikeout record made by Vean Gregg, of Portland, in 1910, when he fanned a total of 376 batters, but Williams will come closer to It than any other pitcher In the league haa come in the last five years. For In the first 21 weeks of the sea son, Williams had averaged better than 10 strikeouts a week and was showing improvement in the last couple of months. But even at his seasonal average of 10 strikeouts a week, Will iams should finish well above the 300 mark. Up to Monday, August 23, Will iams had a total ot 211 strikeouts, only one shy of the 1914 season record mads by Klepfer, of Venice, who fanned 212 last year. Last month Williams was 51 ahead of Clinton Prough, of Oakland, his near est rival for strikeout honors. This month Fanning, of San Francisco, has crowded Prough out of the second place, but even at that Williams has increased his lead over his nearest rival to 67 strikeouts. Last month the six leaders In strikeouts were Williams, of Salt Lake, 156: Prough, Oakland, 105; Fanning. San Francisco, 102; Love, Los Angelea, 98; Klawitter, Oakland, 96; Hughes. Los Angeles, 94. This month the same six pitchers are leading in strikeouts, and the only change In their order Is Fannlng's ascent into second place and Prough's descent to third place. This month the leaders rank as follows In total strikeouts: Williams, 211; Fanning, 144; Prough, 140; Love, 123; Klawitter, 115; Hughes, 115. Slim Love, of Los Angeles, has issued 95 walks, but is closely pressed by Hall, of Salt Lake, for generosity honors. Hall having passed 94 batsmen. Pruiett, of Oakland, has walked 87 men; Higgin botham, of Portland, has walked 82, and Williams, ot Salt Lake, is next on the list with a total of 80 walks. Shotputter Prulett has hit more bat ters than any other pitcher. Pruiett has hit 22 batters; Gregory, of Salt Lake, has hit 13, and Lush, of Port land, has hit 12. Hughes takes first honors for wild men, hiving made 14 wild pitches. Hall, of Salt Lake, and Ryan, of Los An geles, are tied for second honors, each having made 11 wild pitches. Plercey, of Vernon, with three balks, and Kahler, of Portland, with two, are the only pitchers on whom more than one balk has been called.
