SPITBALL RUINS A TWIRLER'S
ARM IN TIME, SAYS JOHNSON

When the so-called spitball came into
prominence, eight or nine years ago, all
of the star pitchers of that period learned
to pitch it in practice, but nearly all OF
them decided to have nothing to do with
it, for fear that constant use of the spit
ball would have a bad effect on their
pitching arm.
Only very few of the best men of the
day took up the newfangled delivery.
Cy Young was one of those who would
not use the spitball. Christie Mathewson
was another. Chief Bender, Mordecai
Brown, Rube Waddell and other stars
turned it down.
On the other hand, the spitball was the
making of several pitchers who would
have long ago been relegated to the
minors except that they became very
adept in using it, and it proved so effec-
tive for them that they cut out all other
deliveries from their repertoire. Among
them may be mentioned big Ed" Walsh
of the White Sox and Russell Ford of the
New York Americans.
Now, however, good judges say these
two men have ruined their arms by con-
slant use of the spitball. Walsh was of
practically no use to the Chicago team

Then came the trade of Mig Clarke for
Art Griggs of the Browns. Neither helped
his new club particularly, and both soon
found their way into the minors. The
acquisition of Neal Ball from New York
and Harry Niles from Boston both by
purchase, came along about that time.
Niles was of little use, but Ball proved
to be an excellent investment.
The next deal of Importance was the
sending of Bris Lord to Philadelphia.

excellent trade for Cleveland. The last

MAPS HAVE BROKEN EVEN
IN TRADES FOR PL AYERS

Cleveland O., December 26.-Since
Cleveland has been a member of the
American league it has figured in %
player deals with other clubs in the cir
cult. Many were outright sales or pur-
chases, but several were trades in which
Cleveland cannot be said to have Sc
cured any of the better eff the transac-
ton For that matter, however. it did
not get any Of the worst Of it.
Zaza Harvey was the hrst player
grabbed from another club in the league.
He came from Chicago and proceeded to
carve name for himself high upon the
batting monument. but his health failed
and he quit the game soon after becom-
ing a Nap That was all fer year or so
or until Cleveland generously allowed
Detroit to take Ned killian, star south
paw. Cleveland did not get a single
kopec for the left hander. Instead, it
merely allowed Detroit to take the player
ard pay minor league club for him.
Then Cleveland spent several years trying
to develop competent southpaw.
The following season, Catcher Fred
Brelow was bought from Detroit while
Charley Hickman was traded for Charley

trade. as neither stuck. Having helped
the IlBefS out with lNllilan, oonlefS again
assumed generous attitude in 1907, and
presented Friend Navin with Claude
Rossman for small prize. He also
bought Charley Hickman back, Charley
having wandered from Detroit to WASH
ington and to Chicago.
In the meantime, Red Donohue, on the
outs with McAleer at st. Louis, was
purchased from st. Louis Red had a good

WEST EXTENDS INVITATIONS
FOR INDOOR ATHLETIC MEET

An invitation has been extended to the
University of Alabama and Auburn by
f. w. West, physical director of the
Birmingham Young Mems Christian as
ISOLATION, for an indoor athletic meet to
be held in the latter part of February,
For the past two years the local asso-
citation has been putting out strong in
door teams and it is the desire of Direc-
tor West to match the speed of his run
ners against collegians, so as to see eX-
actly how they stack up with college
athletes.
If either of the two colleges accepts
the invitation 1t is possible that the scope
of the indoor meet will be extended so
as to include local schools. ,Birming-

last season., while Ford won very few
games for New York.
Walter johnson, the great Washington
sabman, blames the spifball for the
downfall of those two noted pitchers. lie
says:
1.-THE spitball is a novelty, I'll admit,
but it ruins pitchers arm in time. IfsEd
Walsh for instance, had never used the
spitball he would have had no trouble with
his wing. The same applies to Russell
Ford, who seems to have lost his effee-
tiveness last season.
THE pitching in the last worlds series
was devoid of new wrinkles. Bender ard
Plank depended almost entirely on speed
and curves. Bender mixed in a slow ball
now and then, which had the Giants
swinging at nothing. Bush had a jump
ball, which was nothing more than the
time honored inshoot, delivered so that it
passed close to the upper part of the body.
Mathewson's fade-away, so-called. was a
drop ball with an out curve delivered so
that it would shoot down past the waist
You can puzzle the best batsman by
sending up different kind of ball each
time. Then he doesn't know what to eX-
rect and can't set himself fol- a healthy
swing. In the long run, however speed
counts when you put the ball over the
plate without delay and can get the bats
men in the hole as quickly as possible"

JOE TINKER MAY
YET LEAVE RANKS
OF THE NATIONAL

A FTER futhlessly giving President
~ Andrews of the Lookoats a cold
y shoulder, kid Eberfeld of the Pels
may become the recipient of some shabby
treatment himself, according to the lat
ess story told of the Kids conference
with Charley Somers, the boss mogul of
the Cleveland Maps, and it is doubtful II
the .'Tobasco Kid" will cavort in the
short field for the Pels or draw pay from
any of the clubs controlled by the Nap
boss during the coming Season.
somers, 1t is said, offered Elberfe1d a
place on one of his clubs under the con-
tract that Charley Frank told the Cleye-
land boss he had signed the former Look
out for. but 1t seems that Elberfeld re-
pudiated that agreement, placing the fig
ure much higher than Frank said 1t was.
Castro, acting as an agent for Franks
agent, was authorized to sign the Kid
for a salary said to be $3.50, but now the
former boss of the Lookouts insists that
the stipulated sum was $500.
When EIberfeld put this new price up
to Somers the Nap president CURLY told
him that they could not transact any
business and Immediately wrote him out
check for his expenses in coming to cleve-
land for the conference. And now Is
where the possibility about his playing
with any of Somers' clubs comes in.
Semers has declared that the contract
made by Frank with The Kid is null and
void, and that he is not eligible to play
with the Pelicans. The Nap boss cites as
his authority for the statement the fact
that Elberfeld was on the Chattanooga
reserve list at the time the agreement
vas made, thus making him ineligible to
do business with any other club.

As Heinemann is very likely to become

A merry little war is on in st. Louis
between Miller Higgins, manager of the
Cardinals, and Branch Hickey, who is oc-
eupying the same position of response
bility on the Brown team, over their re-
spective training methods. Several days
ago the Cardinal boss issued a state
ment in which he severely criticised the
methods used by Hickey to train his
players. This brought a hot reply from
the Brown leader, in which he pointed
out the merits of his system and the
defects of Higgins. With the issuance
of these articles, the two managers have
inaugurated a warm cross-flre argument
and the fans of the Mound City are now

If the price is not too steep he may

ers of the game asserted that Gill
more at the least must outbid Brook
Ign. despite Tinker's preference to re-
naming in Chicago.
Tinker refused to confirm or deny the
report that he had been offered $4,000 for
three years in the Federal league. In
discussing the affair, however, he re-
marked that he could not make that much
money in three. years in the National
