"IRON MAN" MGINNITY.
lie Tells How lie Is Able 10 Save Ills
Pitching Arm,

Team work of muscles, Iron Man
McGinnity, the pitcher who never had
a lame arm, has II down to science.
In these strenuous double header
pitching days that is something that
no other pitcher can boast OF or pride
himself on There are some twirlers
who draw stlpends that make bank
presidents salaries look like long
shoreman's wages who nurse along
the lame wing gag whenever n
heavy batting team comes along, or
when the ghost is looking cross-eyed
at them on pay days but Joe McGn-
nifty is not one of that kind, Joe Is
hungry for work. and all teams and all
batters look alike to him, He fears
none of them be Il the champion Pr
rates or tailend Quakers
He gets his bump once in a while.
but the Phlllies are Just as likely to
do that trick as the Pnttsburgs, and il
always makes Joe more anxious TO
face them again, the same afternoon
If possible,
There is no fragility in McGinnlty's
makeup. GLASS arms" "crockery dig
it's" rusty pedals or Charley horses"
he was never bothered with. He is well
put together not too muscular but with
sinewy. plant muscles that through
careful study and constant practise he
has got down TO a system OF what might
be called physical team work, which en-
ables him TO do more pitching with less
exertion than has ever been accom-
pllshed by any other player who ever
pitched ball.
The ease and grace with which he
delivers the ball. the perfect muscular
mechanism that he has developed with
no snap. or tearing wearing strain to
the tender ligaments or muscles of his
SALARY whip have made Joe McGin-
nifty the pitching wonder of the decade.
His remarkable feat OF pitching two
winning games In one day, twice within
a little over week ouble-headers
against the Bostons and Brooklyns--
was a record and the pitching sensation
of the season.
In explaining the secret OF his sue
cess and wonderful endurance, McGin-
nifty told the following interesting
story the other day:
1T took me six years to get control
of the raise ball that Is now so saving
