WHY CURVE BALI. CURVES AND A FEW
OTHER CURVES ARE EXPLAINED FOR YOU

Some Of the uncanny things pitch
ers can do with aebaseball would give
professor of physics headache.
The sight of a pitched ball shoot
ing, darting, rising, falling. hesitating
and webbing like a man with too
much holiday spirit aboard is more
than the man who delves in mathe-
NAUTICAL gymnastics could bear.
Would you know why a ball be-
HAYES so? Would you know how the
pitcher does it? Then on with the
story.
The fast ball.
The fast ball is pitched overland
or sidearm and with great speed.
Overland the ball is gripped with
underneath. 1t is delivered off the
ends Of the fingers, the fingers grip
ping the ball tightly at release.
Due TO this pressure, the ball as it
reVOlVes backward, travelling as
straight as a thrown ball may travel,
until it nears the batter, when il
jumps upward. This is the hop on
mis- fast one"
Pitched sidearm, the grip is identi-
cal, but the back of the hand is
turned, so fingers and thumb are hori-
zontal This ball JUMPS in the direc-
ton of the gripping c4ngers. When
pitched by a right handler, the jump
is TO the right.
The curve.
The curve is held like the fast ball,
but the ball is released over the side
of the first finger instead of over the
tips. The break or curve depends
upon the pressure applied by the
fingers at release; upon the snap of
the wrist and upon the power of the
pitchers arm.
Effective curve balls break down
and out. (for a right-handed batter)
or down and in (for a left-handed
batter) when pitched by a right
handler. The effectiveness of the
curve depends upon the sharpness of
this break. The ball revolves on an
angle of about 40 degrees. away from
the pitcher
The slow ball.
One slow ball is held back in the
palm Of the hand, gripped by the
thumb and little finger the other
fingers not touching it save at the
base. 1t is pitched overland like
fast ball. but instead of revolving
wobbles from side to side until it loses
force, when it rotates rapidly away
from the pitcher. This rotation
shoots it in the natural direction and
helps the downward break
Clarke Griffith had a slow ball that
ltNOlNtu IdpIulN- Inc value or this
was that the revolving ball appears
smaller to the batter than a dead
ball. Griff pitched the ball JUS as he
did his fast one. but as he released ii
he jerked his hand backward. MAX
ing the bali revolve rapidly away
from him, which caused it to travel
slowly.
The spit ball.
The spit bali is pitched with two
fingers on top of the bali. resting on
spot that has been made slippery.

DENIES PLAYERS
DESERTED MAJORS
Pres. Fultz of Fraternity Says
Men Have Promised Not to
Sign Until the Federal Con-
tracts Are Approved.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-Pres. David
l.. Fultz Of the Baseball Players Fra
ternity issued a statement Thursday
night in which he decried a report
that a number of Major league ball
players, members of the Fraternity,
had signed contracts to play with va
rious clubs in the Federal league in
1914. His statement on the subject
follows:
II do not believe the report that a
mum Der of the players in organized
ball have signed with the Federal
league, for the reason that 80 per cent
of the players in the four larger
leagues have stated to me personally
until contracts satisfactory to the Fra
ternity were procured. As the advis-
DRY board has not yet passed upon the
Federal league contract and as no
agreement has yet been reached with
organized ball, any player who signs
a contract with either faction at the
present time will be considered to
have committed an act of hostility TO
the Fraternity which may amount to
cause for expulsion.
1--WE understand that the Federal
contract, which Will be submitted to
us within the next week will comply
with all our requests; if so the Frater-
nifty VIII place no obstacles In. the way
of players signing when the proper
time comes, if they think the move a
wise one. A few of the players may
have signed already and a number
more may have agreed to do so when
the contract is approved. but there
isn't the slightest doubt in the mind
of any member of the a1visory board
that the players with W exceptions
will remain absolutely loyal TO the
Fraternity and will follow out the
plan agreed upon several months ago.
