Walsh Says Spitbdll Has Come To Stay

To my way of thinking it is the coming delivery and more and more pitchers will use it. I would not advise young pitchers to try it to the exclusion of everything else, but if they once start they should keep at 1t until they have mastered it. There are other effective deliveries, but none that is easier on the arm, critics opinion to the contrary Also there has been the idea that it can't be controlled. That is another fallacy.
 To show how much believe in it, was on the point of using it in that game at Cleveland in 1909. when with the bases full and Lajoie up to bat a third strike was needed to put the Frenchman out and defeat Cleveland for the pennant. Also, there was Sullivans opinion of 1t. There were two strikes on Lajoie when Sullivan signaled for a spit ball. It was ticklish and l nodded my head then something made me change my mind. I crossed" Sully, one of the few times 1 have ever done it, and shot the ball straight over the plate waist high. Lajoie died at the plate, but should l again meet the same emergency l would use the spit ball. I have had sore arms, all right but the only time I ever hurt my arm in pitch ing was on fast straight one.
