Such things the
layman does not,
cannot, see. Base
ball is toocomplexfor
the ordinary mind.
Christy Nlathewson,
for instance, knows
that Joe Tinker of the
Cubs, though not a
wonderful batter as a
rule. usually touches
him for two or three
hits a game. Tinker
does it this way:
Mathewson figures
that a curve ball
whose parabola is
tam B B. will eludeTink-
er's bat. Tinker can
tell, by studying the
wrinkles in Mathew
sons forehead, what
the pitcher is think
ing. So Tinker fig
ures that Matty will
pitch a curve whose
parabola is tar tam B B..
Tinker simply takes
