He has a delivery which has fooled
me often this season. He puts on
speed when you would swear he is
pitching slow ones. l watched him
warming UP before one of the games
he pitched against the Pirates, and l
thought he had no smoke at all, but
when l stepped to the plate he was
shooting them over like cannon balls,
yet he was not using motion which
indicated much exertion.
Of course, Mathewson's head will
help him in the big series, but the
chances are against Christy being as
effective as he has been in similar
series in the past. Age tells on the
best of players. Matty has not been
so successful lately as he once was,
but he uses his brains about as much
as any pitcher in the business, and
he is likely to get by when a man with
more stuff would fail.
My opinion is that the hitting in
the worlds series will depend very
largely on whether one or the other
teams is suffering from slump. By
that l mean to express my belief in
the conviction that when a man is
batting at his best he can hit any
twirler in. the world and when he is
off his stride a novice can fool him. |
