CHESBRO SAYS THE "SPIT
 BALL. IS ALL HIS OWN

Jack chesbro, the crack twirler of the New York Americans, has been interview ed once more in regard to the spit Globe Chesbro made the following state ments concerning the spit ball which is generally believed to be a myth:
 T will bet Sl00 that there is not a pitcher except myself in the business who ball. I will also wager s100 that any time 1 have two strikes on the batter (and don't care who he is) and there are three balls against me I will put the spit ball over the plate, and he will not hit 1t.
 In reply to a query as to whether or not the use of the spit had been re- sponsible for the pitchers lame arm early in the season. Chesbro said:
 That's all tommyrot. My poor work early in the season was due entirely to my pitching on rainy day I got wet, caught cold in my shoulder, and could not do myself justice till I recovered from the effects of the exposure. It is non- sense to say that the spit ball James a pitchers arm-not if he knows the secret of it."
 And what is the secret of it?" inquired the questioner with an eagle look in his eyes.
 "The secret is this: You take the ball in your right hand-that is, If you are a right-handed pltcher-and then moistcn your fingers a bit, after which you look closely at the batsman. Then you draw back your arm and let her flicker
 MT. Chesbro then grinned and wanted to know if that wasn't plain enough.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-08-28

Then he added: 'None of these fellows have yet mastered the delivery of the spit ball, which is the greatest invention of the baseball age. I use It altogether, and I invariably employ 1t in a tight place. I use it always when there are two strikes and three balls, and have it under such perfect control that It never fails me These other boys who are ex- perimenting with the spit ball never use 1t when they get into a tight place. A whole lot of batters in the American league have given up trying to hit the spit ball as pitched by me, and, of course I lay for them and win my games from them. Yes, I have seen statements to the effect that the spit ball didn t amount to anything and would die out, but I notice the opposing clubs are con tinually trying to put preparations on the ball to prevent me using 1t effectively.
 Far from being an exploded theory, the spit ball. so far as most pitchers are concerned. Is in it's infancy. If a majority of pitchers ever learn to use 1t with the same effect I do the batsmen will be almost completely at our mercy"
 Ask. as to the direction in which the ball broke for him, he briefly replied: Down for the most part" Then he said: Do you think the ball doesn't work well for me on the nome grounds? I ascribe it to the fact that the grounds are hard, which makes the ball fuzzy. Again, there is usually too much wind for me there. Therefore I seem to do my best pitching away from home. l am pitching the best ball of my career now, and I won't lose many games"

The race question has at last invaded the sphere of baseball. and has caused the disbandment of the Vermont State league. The row which resulted in the dis ruption of the league was started by white ball players because a negro named Matthews, late shortstop of the Harvard 'vaisity team. was signed by the Bur- lington. Vt. club. A special from Bur lington concerning the cause Of the leagues breaking up says:
 Huntington withdrew from the league, as the il-feeling has developed to such an extent that the vice presidents, who
