Catchers then were compelled to
harden their hands so that they could
handle powerful twirler's delivery

close behind the bat in the seventies

The greatest helps that any of the old

As to Bats.

A dozen different kinds of freak
bats have been put on the market from
time to time. One was stick with
one side planed fiat. The idea was that
flat surface on the bat would lessen
the number of foul balls and at the
same time enable man blunt with
accuracy.
A peculiar member of the bat fam
lily was patented in 1890. The stick was
curved, and its originator claimed that
n ball could be so struck with it that
lielders would have great difficulty in
handling the hit. The curve in the bat
would give hit ball twist that would
make the course of both grounders and
fly balls uncertain. In addition, the
ball would twist out of a felder's hands,
he further argued. The curved stick,
however, never received official sane

Another "Freak" Ball.
The flexible ball idea had it's origin
probably in a novel sphere invented by
Pitcher Aydelott, minor league play
er hailing from Marion, Ind. This ball
was made of wood. II was sawed in
half. A powerful spiral spring held
two of the edges together. The other
two edges were an inch apart and con-
nected by piece of leather
By grasping the ball it could be made
to close. OF course the removal of
pressure let the halves fly open again.
Thus in going through the movements
necessary to produce a curve the mus
cles employed were subjected to an un-
usual strain.
The inventor of the wooden ball had
a good record, which he claimed was
entirely due to his device He used it
every winter and on the arrival of
spring found himself in trustworthy
shape for early games. In two seasons
he lost but one game in which he pitch
ed and frequently scored shutouts
against the leading teams of Indiana.

A LMOST countless are the artifi-
N cial helps for baseball players
- that ingenious minds have

A LMOST countless are the artifi-
cial helps for baseball players
that ingenious minds have
originated from time to time.
Probably the latest is a flexible ball to
be used by pitchers during leisure mo-
ments. This ball is so constructed as
to yield to the pressure of the twirler's
fingers. At the moment the strain is
relaxed the ball springs back to it's
original roundness. The inventor
claims that any pitcher grasping the
ball as he would in throwing a curve
will develop in his hand, wrist and
forearm the particular muscles that
come into play during an actual game.
AS the grip on the ball varies for each
curve, the flexible spheroid will be i'm
pressed or indented differently when
one curve is substituted for another.
BY developing the curving muscles in
this manner the inventor states that
pitchers can double their effectiveness.
McGunnigle's Pitching Ring.
Another device originated for the use
Of pitchers was a ring that Billy Nc
Gunnigle, Brockton (Mass.) player,
sought to have players adopt not long
ago. Like the flexible or compressible
ball, the rings object was to render
curves more effective.
The ring in question was so made
that when the pitcher Slipped it on a
particular finger and grasped the ball

the metal band held the leather sphere
securely. The pitcher could get an UNI
usually strong purchase on the ball, and
several box men found that with it a
curve could be almost doubled in sharp
ness. The ring also proved to be a
splendid means for overcoming the
slipperiness Of wet bali, and greater
speed could be obtained through it's
use.
However, McGunnigle's ring was
doomed to oblivion. 1t was found after
two or three trials that it cut the cover
of ball.
