spitball pitchers. carrying more
than any other club in the big
leagues. They have Russell Ford,
one Of the greatest Of them all;
George Mcconnell, Ray Fisher and
Jack Quinn They are accounted
above the average Ford's mastery
of the spitball is nothing short Of
uncanny, and only Ed Walsh, the
daddy of them all, has anything on
the Yankees, when it comes to
making the queer delivery perform.
Frank Smith, now of Cincinnati.
the old Chicago White Sox star,

cago Cubs, are masters Of the de-
livery. but they are hardly the
pitchers they were a few years ago.
Joe Lake Fair SpittbaIIer
Joe Lake, of the ST Louis Browns
in the American league, is a good
spitball pitcher probably better
than any in the National, and half
dozen others in the younger or
ganiza ton could be named who
outclass their fellow spitters Of the
other league There seems to be no
reason for this except that the old
organization does not have the luck
in picking up the spitters that the
other has.
The old argument that the spit
ball shortens a pitchers career in
baseball is still advanced. but the
long service of Ed Walsh shows
that there may at least be excep-
tions to the rule, and it is ques-
ton whether the spitballers who
have come and quickly gone would
have lasted any longer if they stuck
to the old styles.
