OLD HEADSJHE BEST
Brains Count More Than Brawn
In Winning Close Ball Games.
VETERANS MADE BROWNS
8t Louit American Greatly Strength
ned by Ferris, William, Hoffman
and Jones Lack of Old Head Cause
f New York Yanks Downfall.
Old beads Id the game of baseball
re In demand. Tbe old heads on the
St Louis Americans bare Kept tbe
Browns to tbe front this season. Old
heads advising tbe Chicago Americans
tare kept toem well up in tbe race ail
season. It is the lack of did beads in
important places that shored tbe New
Tork Americans war down in the sec
ond division. In a close race tbe old
beads win pennants.
A tribute was paid recently to an
old head by Fielder Jones, manager
of tbe Chicago Americans, in securing
the return of Frank Isbell to tbe White
Sox. Isbell is one of the veterans ot
the game. Three or four years ago
many thought he was getting too old
to play tbe game longer. In fact, be
was on the bench most of one season
because it was thought he was all
through. But recently be was sought
with flattering offers by Comiskey. In
Chicago they think the return of Isbell
to tbe team will assure the Sox ot
another pennant
Fielder Jones has two 'lively Infield'
ers. young in years. -Atz and Purtell
They can hit, run and throw with fin
ish. But be has them sitting on tbe
bench since Isbell returned. The Sox
have too many games to be won by
one run, and one of these youngsters
is liable to make a little mistake in
Judgment that will lose such a game.
Tbe old bead doesn't make such mis
takes.
See what a difference it has made
with the St Louis Americans. Tbe
accession of Jimmy Williams, Hobe
Ferris, Charley Jones and Danny Hoff
man has raised the Browns from sec-
ond division to contenders or the pen-
rant Hoffman and Jones have not
been in the game regularly of late be
cause of a slight slump in bitting at
the same time that the young players.
Schweitzer and Hartzell, have shown
spurt in that department But the
veterans will be back In that lineup
when their batting eyes retuyn.
The Boston Americans' young play
ers have been leading tbe league in
bitting and are running bases like
wild men. But Boston is down in
the second division because the young
sters have thrown away game after
game through lack- of Judgment as
well as fielding errors. When this
team has dragged through a couple of
seasons in tbe American league and
learned all tbe tricks it should be a
winner. But the speed of youth has
little chance unless bead work is with
ft.
The Chlcagos have the lightest bli
ting team in the league, but they are
winning games Just the same. It's be
cause there Is brain work In every
play conducted by such men as George
Davis, "Jiggs" Donohue. Fielder Jones.
Lee Tannehill. Billy Sullivan, Pat
Dougherty and Freddie Parent John
Anderson, though a veteran, has nev
er been famous for headwork. but lie
is hitting the ball so bard that be
holds a place wltb those scholars.
Jimmy Williams and Hobe Ferris,
now with the Browns, are not noted
for their speed nor for any great
. strength in hitting, but tbe addition
of these two men has made an In
field for tbe Browns that can hardly
be equaled, for with Wallace and Tom
Jones they have formed a combination
that is splendid In execution and judg
ment Clarke Griffith let Jimmy Williams
leave the team, and the whole New
York .infield collapsed. Harry Nlles,
who replaced him, has a lot of speed
and is a promising player, but be
couldn't step Into Williams' shoes and
fill them the first year.
But the most important place of all
for an old bead Is in the pitcher's
box. That is the place where there
is a think every half minute in every
game. In a close game there Is a
course of reasoning goes with every
ball that is thrown. It's a, tough
place for a beginner. Still, tbe begin
ner may have such tremendous speed
and perfect speed and control that he
will get through such a game with a
victory. But every manager would
prefer to have one of his veterans in
the box at such times.
In the old days of free hitting and
blp scores the pitcher didn't need to
think so much It was generally a
contest of batting. The team that
could bat In the most runs was the
victor. It was never talked of as the
pitcher that could pitch tbe better
ball. But today so much depends on
the pitcher that he is under a terrific
mental strain from the first to the
ninth inning, except in contests where
his si.ie gets a big lead early in the
game and permits him to take chances
on letting the ther fellows bit the
ball.

CRISS, GREAT PINCH HITTER,
St Louis American Pitcher Leading
League With the Stick.
Baseball fans are taking tbe great
est interest in the wonderful pinch
bitting of Dode Criss, the big pitcher
who Is being used chiefly as emergen
cy batter by the St Louis Americans.
Criss is leading the American league
in bitting, wltb an average of .371.
He has not pitched a foil game this
year, having started one and finished
a couple of others. But he has been
sent into nearly every game in which
the Browns were behind in the ninth
Inning simply to bat, and he bas made
good more than one-third of the time.
Recently he was hitting at the tre
mendous clip of .450, but has not
been so succcessful lately and has
dropped off .79 points. Manager Mc
Aleer intends to carry him all season,
even if he never uses him In the box.
Criss is a big fellow, standing six feet
two Inches, and of the most powerful
physique.
lie began his professional career In
1900 at Cleburne. Tex., in the Texas
league, where be hit .390. Last year
he was at St. Paul, batting .231. Man
ager Armour of Toledo said of bim at
the close of last season, "Our batters
used to hate to see him going in to
pitch, and our pitchers used to hate to
see him going to bat."
Criss Is a right hand pitcher and a
left hand batter. He Is only twenty
three years old.
Grant Quite a Sprinter.
Third Baseman Grant' of the Phila
delphia Nationals Is a rapid mover
when running to first bae and has a
final long stride that gets bim there ail
the quicker.
