FORD Is MOST SCIENTIFIC
PITCHER IN THE BUSINESS

Both Jack Coombs and Christy
Mathewson have passed judgment on
Russell Ford. the spitball graduate of
the Southern league, now pitching for
the New York Americans. Mathew
son, who will pitch against Ford in the
post season games. went over 70 see
the youngster i'm action the other day.
and after the game he remarked:
Ford is a wonder, / never saw
better pitcher. He will make a lot of
trouble for us in the post-season SER
ies!"
Ford has as good a record as Ben
der, while his supporting team hit 80
points below the Athletics.
1t has lately been discovered that
Ford's success is not wholly due TO the
use of the splitter, although many
players and critics seem to think that
Ford depends exclusively upon a moist
delivery. Superstitious persons have
even made themselves believe that the
young New York pitcher possesses
supernatural powers and is a sort of
baseball medium. Players that have
been fooled by him have been heard TO
say that they do not know what kind
of balls Ford shoots up TO them and
that his curves are different from any
they have ever seen before.
There is no doubt that Ford has
mastered the spit ball with unusual
results, to the right or 10 the left at
viii and that he has perfected the
scientific use of this so-called mystery
ball TO a degree that might be called
art. But IL is also true that Ford is
great pitcher of natural ability
without the use Of the damp fling In
the first place he is a powerful built
young man, with broad shoulders
deep. chest, strong arms and steady
underpinning. Then again he is a
cool headed, careful student with
clear eyesight and wonderful control.
, II is this control that is one of the
secrets of his success. coupled with a
confidence in himself, great speed and
quick curves, together with a beautiful
slow ball Not afraid to shoot the ball
/
over the plate. or rather the corners
of il, Ford necessarily must have a
constant advantage over the batsmen
who cannot afford to play the usual
waiting game.
Combining these natural qualities
with the mysteries of the spit ball.
Ford may be regarded as a freak.
There isn't a thing about scientific
pitching he doesn't know. and he new
er fails to take advantage of every
point. He is never carless, never
pitches a ball without a purpose and
has a head filed with gray matter.
Ford knows how to save his strength.
lie has an understanding with the
club officials which allows him to Sc
lect the days on which he must work.
that when ever he takes his station
means victory. and it is a sure thing
that when ever he takes his statios
on the mound he is ready TO so the
route.

SCHMIDT WON'T RETIRE.
Detroit Baekstop Aspires to be Minor
League Maenate.

Detroit. Mich, Oct. 13.-Charlie
Schmidt has gone to his home in Fort
Smith, Ark, and the local paper is
printing much news about Schmidt,
1.-THE only Arkansan who ever got to
the big leagues"
The veteran Tiger is again in charge
of his thirst emporium in Arkansas.
Last winter Charlie was "pinched" for
not showing the federal stamp on some
of his kegs, but 'the only Arkansan
who ever got into the big leagues" got
out of the trouble because he had not
been in business long enough to have
down the exact dope on those United
States labels.
Charlie is quoted as being DESTROYS
of breaking away from Detroit-pro-
viding that Little Rock can get back
into the Southern league. If little
Rock can return Charlie wants to be
part owner of the club, that is. if
President Navin will sell him his re-
lease but Schmidt says there is little
chance of the Detroit club allowing
him to go.
