the game of the mat" Rubin, who
is an exceptionally good wrestler, Is
set on getting Fitz to try little bout
at the graphing game Billy Mad
den, upon behalf of Rubin, today
said that he was ready to back Rub
lin for any amount against "Lanky
Bob" if the latter would consent to
a meeting on the mat.
"titz has defeated Rubin in the
ring" said Madden, land we would
like to turn the tables on him. If
Fiz is going to wrestle at all, why

SECRET OF SUCCESS.
Most spectators at base ball
game have an exaggerated idea of the
curve ball in pitching comments
sam Lever. They think the man in
the box can send in all kinds of
twisters and thus fool the Opposing
batsmen. OF course, mastery of the
curve ball is part of the pitchers
stock In trade, but control-emphasize
the word-and knowledge of the bats
mems weaknesses are much more i'm
portant and no pitcher with curves
can be successful unless lie also has
control.
The throwing of curve bali is
partly mechanical, and to accomplish
the result all pitchers use the same
motion. The difference is in the de-
gree of efficiency and the control in
placing it where the curve will count
the most. left handlers usually throw
broader curves, but, ON the other
hand, are more likely to be lacking
IN the prime essential, control, and
are also more likely to have bad in
nings.
THE balls which are usually classed
under the head Of curves are the out
curve the drop ball, the jump ball and
the so-called in-shoot, which is really
misnanled, as the in-shoot is ball
thrown naturally which break In.
Il grasp the ball the same way to
throw these different varieties, a firm
hold on the sphere with my thumb,
index and middle fingers. The out
curve Is then allowed to slide over
the top OF the index finger with n
sweeping side-arm delivery. The curve
Is rather gradual, but Is supposed to
take the greatest degree of variation
from It's course as II reaches the plate.
The drop bail leaves the hand direct
ly over the top of the index finger
with full arm motion and a quick
snap of the wrist as IL leaves me
hand. 1t is probably the hardest ball
in the category on a pitchers arm 1t
is frequently combined wit hthe out,
curve, producing the out drop"
