BUI Croaeh Wakes a Home Run.
"Wild Bill" Crouch is home again.
Fill blew in yesterday afternoon with
bis upconditlnnal release from the
S'. Louis Americans. The only ex
planation given Bill was that he had
not enough experience.
Of course there are few baseball
men in this town who will put their
experience tip against Jack (VCon
ner's. but those of them who know
something about the game and th"
men who play if declared today that
Crouch had not been given a square
deal by the St. Louis hunch In his
first game with the team, which bv
the way. was the first big league game
he ever pitched Bill allowed but six
hits and saved his team a defeat.
Through fright, perhaps, he bungled
three, hut all In all Crouch Is given
credit for having worked well.
Bill is home again, but it is not.
likely that he will remain here since
getting a look in big company. It is
understood that several Tri-State
managers are after him and If the
terms can be made satisfactory Bill
will accept. It is not likely that he will
pitch for duPont again, although Man
ager Garrett would be glad to play
him again
The Washington Times says of the
game in which BUI worked:
"Washington showed aome of its
old ability to whack a faltering pitch
er when It Jumped on Crouch In the
fourth inning for three uplifting sin
gles. tip to that time and for the
rest of the game Crouch pitched
mighty creditable ball for a man mak
ing his bow In major league, hut he

BATTERS NEED
PLENTY OF NERVE
Stand Up to the Plate if You
Expect to Hit the Ball
WHEN IN SLUMP
START THE CHOPPING
Confidence, nerve and good eyesight are
essential for success In batting. A man
should go up to the plate with the idea
that he is bound to hit. -ie should give
the pitcher credit for having something,
and be prepared to match his own clev
erness against 4t. It takes nerve to
stand up against the ball and steo Into
It, but that Is what a batsman must show.
The minute you begin to pull away,, the
pitcher known that ne has something on
you, and likely im
When a man lets a fast one go by his
head without winking, however. and
stands up looking the pitcher in the eye,
It gives him something 'on his oppo
nents.
If the man on the mound wastes one
at your head. Just get out of the way and
edge a little closer to the plate to show
him that such tactics aren't going to
worry you. Then ho will pitch ball and
you will get a good one next time Every
one that Is wide Is a ball against the
pitcher and benefits you that much. Some
batsmen make a mistake In trying to
get the pitcher In a hole all the Mme. It
Is best to slam the first good one when
there are men on bases. The system, how
ever. might not always work out. It Is
a case of a man's Judgment, many times,
but It seems that as you only can hit
one any way. It might Just as well be the
first one that comes where you like
not he will get you.
If
There are many things to be consid
ered In batting; The score, the stage of
the game, the number of men on bases
and so on through a long cahpler. No
batsman can be thinking of himself alone,
for the principal object In baseball is to
win games and not to fatten up hattfffg
averages. There are lots of teams that
make a pile of hit*, bul few runs. Bunt
ing Is a fine thing to get one's eye on the
ball One must meet them squarely to
hunt, end It helps to train one to follow
the course of the sphere all the
up. When In a slump chopping et the
ball also benefits.

NEWSY DOINGS
OF THE ''SEMI'S''
Saturday will be a busy day In the
Semi-Professional League.
—(SI—
Tremont and Peerless will fight In

Newport Is due to travel to Land
i 11th. They want this game bad for

two more In the "smile" column for
them.

CLEVELAND O. July If._ C. K. G. Billings, the millionaire amateur relnsman. considers that he has al
ready been repaid for his investment of $36.000 In the trotter Uhlan last fall, for recently Mr. Billings drove the
handsome black gelding a mile to wagon at the North Randall track here in 2.02 3-4. In so doing Uhlan broke
two world's records. It being the best mile to wagon to the credit of a gelding and being also the fastest mile
ever trotted or paced thus early In the year. In addition, it came within half a second of equaling Uhlan s pro
fessional record to sulky in a race, trotted in 2.02 1-4 at Columbus last fall. Again, it beat his wagon record of
2.03 3-4 made in a race at North Randall last fall. It was the second time that Mr. Billings had ever driven the
wonderful trotter, and he can today boast of having trotted two of the fastest miles ever to the credit of an ama
teur horseman. But twice has he driven Uhlan, and the great horse has carried him around In 2.03 3-4 and now
in 2 02 3-4. Additional satisfaction went to Mr. Billings because of the fact that the former record for trotting
geldings to wagon was held by Mr. E. E. Smathers, Billing s erstwhile rival, behind Major Delraar at Memphis in
1903, that record being 2.03 3-4.
