The past season has brought me spit
bah into prominence in the east. although
il has been used with effect in this part
OF the country for the past two years.
Elmer Sric<lett, who pitched FOR Charlie
Reilly IN the Los Angeles team in the
Pacific National league last year. was the
inventor OF this ball. He used ii ef-
fectuaIly in the games pitched in this
city. Just after he had mastered The de-
livery of the ball. At that time an ac-
count of Strickletfs new ball was pub
lished for the first time in The Herald,
and II was given ihs name Of the spit
ball at that time Since then however,
other pitchers have mastered the control
OF this ball and it has become famous in
the big leagues. Quick the former Elder
pitcher, now with the Omaha team.
learned from Stricklett how TO throw the
bali, and used 1t with good effect in the
Western league this summer.
Jack Chesbro or the New York Ameri-
cans had had wonderful success with the
spit ball. and 1t is claimed he won
nearly all his games by fOsling the bat
tiers with this delivery.
Various theories explaining the quick
and mystifying break OF the -spr
ball have been evolved, but few tall root
ers can tell you lust why and how the
peculiar break" is brought about
1t is. very simple The ball simply fol-
lows the natural law Of graNitati ION The
force. propelling it diminishing che closer
the bah gets 10 the plate, and the result
is a sudden drop either TO the right or
left. according 10 the way the pitcher re-
leased his grip.
Some try to explain the spit hall by
saving that il leaves the pitchers hand q
wet ball and the journey TO the plate
dries il and causes the break. The real
object of wetting the ball however, is to
allow it TO slip easily off the first and
second fingers instead OF rolling OH.
which imparts a rotary motion and makes
the curve gradual instead of sharp,
Almost any experienced batter can
gauge and hit a slow curve, but the eud-
den break gives them no time TO draw
a bead on the bail.
The spit" ball is neither fast nor a
slow ball being rather of medium speed.
