I al- Co rule-keways figured the as my legitimate meat, and he soon learned a few things on his own account, so that the score was kept fairly even as the days went by. One time, when Commys team was slated for a series on my grounds, a really great Idea struck me. In those days there were no rules restricting the height of the pitching mound, and some awful elevations were constructed round the circuit. I resolved on making a bill auch as no 1 made pitcher ever used before, and at my park It, too. The ground keeper built up a mountain, and I trained my ,1 burlers on that mountain every morn-J- t s lng for four days.

My pltchere rent the ball ewooplug downward with a speed and an angle of direction that they couldn't touch, while Commy's pitchers, unused to such an altitude, were helpless, hitting the batters on the feet and rebounding the ball from the turf for wild pitches. We arrived In Comlskey's burg two weeks, later, and I felt pretty sure tnt we had a cinch. No matter how tho old Roman might elevate hie pitching mound, be couldn't fool us, for my pltchere were all trained to the hill work, and cou'J jiot be rattled or put to the bad, even If they were asked to throw from the summit of a steeple.

My pitchers, trained to throwing downward from a mountain, were absolutely done. They couldnt get the ball anywhere near the battera and man after man walked, while the few feeble tosses that came over the plate were hatted half a mile. For three days the carnage went on and we were trimmed 12 to 2, 11 to 2 and 17 to 6. Then Comlskey and I got together, agreed to restore our pitching slabs to their ncmal altitude and never again to try anything on each other." STEAM HEAT Sample Room, and Livery In Connection.
