wv WITHOUT further ado we will
NJ swing into something that
w everybody seems to be dis
tinctly interested in-the squat
throw. and how it is accomplish
cd. This is a great pet of mine,
as it should be. because it was
this trick that got me better known
all over America than anything
else 1 ever did
To begin with, let me say that
this trick Of the wing from a squat
ted position is not only a mighty
difficult thing to accomplish, but
it is, as well. a hard thing to de-
scribe in such a way as to bring
about a full and reasonable UNDER
standing of it. That II is a great
trick there is little doubt, because
| have had and am having at the
present time, a lot of imitatOrs,
but so far l have yet to see

Catcher Must Have Perfect
Balance for Squat Throw.
When a catcher Is squatted down.
my favorite position in taking a.
pitch. he must balance himself
carefully on the forward part of
the feet His balance must be
perfect because the ball comes to
him with great force usually and
he must retain equilibrium else the
crash of ball against the mitt Is
liable to ruin just what he wants
to do-be in position to let the ball
go without arising to full standing
position.
First of all let me explain that
l HAD to invent or devise this
method Of throwing with a snap
because my throwing arm was
badly crippled by being scalded
from wrist to shoulder. an accident
that drew up the cords of the ell
bow in such a way that after |
recovered l found that l could not
straighten my arm. This ham
pered my making what Is called
free throw with "a full swing of the
arm and then, after a lot Of prac-
tice, l devised this snap Of the wrist
that is called the squat throw. |

/ considered pretty good, but had

was crippled.

fore the ball leaves my fingers
