ET me touch now on the sys
tenn of throwing Perhaps
in no other department Of
the game is a man compelled to
get the ball away from him as
quickly as i'm catching In seven
out Of ten cases an infielder has
"a brief time to set himself after
getting the ball, and so it Is
with the outhelder
But the catcher has the pitch
slammed into him. usually with
an ugly twist on it, must make a
perfect catch and all in one
move grasp the ball so that not
"a single flash Of time is lost in
making the throw. Get the ball
away from you is one OF the
first rules Of the inside game,
but il too much speed Is attempt
ed bad results usually come. a
man always should be sure ne
has the ball before he tries TO
throw il.
Here's point I want TO bring
out sharply. a catcher should
learn TO throw with any Of his
fingers gripping the ball. I'll
show YOU why this is invaluable
No matter what care is used
catcher will get the bare fingers
of his throwing hand bunged up
al times, usually one finger at
a tlmn. These injuries may not
he sufficient to take him out or
the game. but az the same time
they may affect his throwing.
Therefore. say safeguard
Yourself by learning to throw,
even Il your fJretinger is out OF
commission School yourself 10
throw even If you have only the
third and little fingers Of your
hand to grip the ball with
Learn also 20 let the ball go
out of your fingers in such way
that no curve and as little twist
as possible is impaired TO II.
such throws are the more easily
Judged and handled by the base
men and save many a tumble.
