The University of California is one of the coast institutions which has been the recipient of offers from eastern teams to play here. Georgetown has been cited as being universitythose among willing.

So far 'S the allotment of Saturday, Sun-d't- y NKW Stallmgs of the Boston club shattered a modern tradition in 1914, when he won the pennant and the world's series with practically three pitchers doing all the work. His big three, James, Rudolph and Tyler, with a slight exception, were worked every third day. Fifteen years ago little would have been thought of such a practice, but it has been the belief of the modern manager and pitcher that no twirler could stand such hard work for any length of time without suffering. The fact that the Boston team was. until SepteViber, coming from behind made the task of his three pitchers all the more difficult. Regardless of the form any of his pitchers had shown against certain clubs, they were sent to the rubber in their turn. It was a system that was severely criti cized. but as a baseball leader is be jud ed on results, ofStallings must manlisted in the class great truly agers. Last season James was of practically no use to the Boston club. Natur-of argument in ally, this brings up the took part everyx third day.

Just what really the Braves really ailed the pitching arm of James will never be known. A fellow probably with his remarkable physique would appear to be the one pitcher in the business who ought to stand plenty of work, which means pitching about" every third day. There are some who that James weakened his arm in 1914; others will say that he must have injured it during the off season, while quite a few incline to the belief that the postseason trip taken bv a number of star players at the close of the big series had much to do with out of the great pitcher third putting theWhether is every running. to too often work a modern day day pitcher is still a question to be. decided. At. a number of managers must think that, so, from the way they work their pitching staffs. 3Iaek Has IJifferent System. Connie Mack, one of the greatest managers of all times, won the pennant for the Philadelphia club in 191 t by using a system that differed radfrom that employed by Stallically Mack selected the spots for his ings. with far more care. He pitchers out the situations, closely peruseddoped the scores of the past season or two, and used the various the against clubs he believed pitchers had the best they chance of beating. It is a rather fact that pitchers as a rulo strange have one or more clubs which are hard for them to beat, while usually they find a couple of clubs easy pickinsr. Mack followed the form sheet closely in this respect. Against a certain club he might use a pitciier twice, and then the next club h wouldn't be againstupon. on Mack s Often a called or seven games staff may go five, sixpitcher without being called upon to start a. game. If Mack knows a club is at all weak against left handers, he always makes it a point to use them. I have seen hhn often two left handers work e twice in a series. It has long been a custom of most to use an ordinary pitcher managers or a recruit against some big star of the Mathewson, Johnson, AYalsh style of realize the Managers are greatly odds pitchers. their winning against with Walter Johnson doing the pitching. Pitting one of their stars against in a good many cases wastes Johnson a fine pitching performance. As a rule, the manager is content to risk some other than a star against Johnpitcher son. The records show that during his big league career Johnson has suffered many a reverse at the hands of some comparatively unknown re cruit. In a great many cases the bush leaguer has performed like a lug star, holding the Washington league team at his mercy Just throughout. to illustrate this point: The Cleveland team of the American league took over Pitcher Collamore of the American association. In his first big league game last season Collamore faced Walter The "speed kind" never Johnson. looked better in his life: he allowed five hits and struck out twelve only men. yet he lost his game 3 to 0 because of the recruit's great effectiveness. Cnrrlean Has Pinch Plteher. ANAGER BILL CARRIGAN of the Boston club, who by his skillful handling of that team won Boston another pennant and world's series, handled his pitchers a bit different, than has been customary with most leaders. Every club has its pinch hitter, whose main duty is to try to come through with a base knock in the emergency. While Carrigan had his pinch hitter in Henrickson. he also differed from other managers in that he also had his pinch pitcher. On the Boston club last year was a younprster, by name Mays. On a good many big have been league histeams he would turn on the rubber. taking regular Because he had an abundance of dismaterial, pitching Carrigan early covered a use to whicli Mays showed to great advantage. Most of Boston's pitching was done bv five men, Foster. Shore, Leonard, Ruth and Wood. In fact, four men were worked pretty Wood was going good regular. While was suffering with a bail Leonard arm. Just about the time Wood begnn to aii. Leonard regained his best form. It was Carriaran's idea that he could get better results if he used his four regulars as little as To bring possible ag rescue was about that end, it pitchers. the only duty of Mays to daily take his plate in the and keep himself' in readi"bull ness topen" go to the relief of any falterMays had a position in ing pitcher. much out of the ordinary, baseball very and incidentally when h- went to the relief of a pitcher he ,had an assortment out of the ordinary to offer.

Seldom Usei Alex. Out of Turn. Most managers with so great a pitcher as Alexander would have worked that person o death as a relief pitcher, but Manager Moran employed just the tactics his star.
