Can Walsh "Come Back" Soon
to Be Answered by Work on
the Mound.
By l. E. SANBORN.

As the time draws near for the. base
bail fans sun TO rise with the start OF
the spring training trip, the question is
beginning to be asked with anxious re.
ieration: Can Ed Walsh come batlle''
The diamond devotees of the Ameri-
can League cities and in lesser degree
of the nation, want TO know if the sea-
son of 1914 is to see the famous spitball
pitcher return to the sensational form
which made him the prince of the moist
squad of slabmen in the last decade.
White SoX fans are eager to hear
whether or not the Big Moose's power

during the years rest it has been given.
They want 10 know because they want
TO start figuring where the team will

American League patrons are inter-
ested in learning if the potent muscles
really were worn out or were merely
thrown out OF kilter by the ligament
which BoneSetter Reese found mis-
placed. and if replacing it will restore
the potency of the steel whip which
has terrOrized the batsmen of the other
seven teams for so many years. The
hero worshipers OF the land want 10
know whether or not they nave got to
pick new idol and forget the old.
In a few weeks the question may be
answered in so Tar as the mighty arm
of the 'spitball king is concerned. II
the warming up process of the early
training days on the coast do not indi-
cate the best or the worst news, the
exhibition series. which begins soon
afterward, is likely to furnish the
answer.
But Ed Walsh has TO recover more
than the old strength and suppleness
of his famous muscles. and the real an

ship there was a lot more to EC
Walsh's pitching than his spitball
True, he had mastered that until he
could make it break almost where he
pleased, mastered it as no other expo
nent of the slippery delivery has vet
controlled it, and IN his prime there
were batsmen of high degree who swore
that splitter was impossible to hit safely
when Walsh was right. But that spit
ball was not all of Walsh's pitching
1t could not be when You take into
consideration the fact he could moi
pitch a spitbap every time and had
nothing in those days to mix with il
except a fast one.
The innermost secret ofwalsh's great
success was confidence. The big fellow
was not afraid of any opponent, big OF
little. When Lsjoie or Cobb came 10
bat in a pinch it meant to Walsh only
a little more stuff on the ball than when
a rival pitcher, with a batting average
of S5s faced him in the same congested
situation.
Walsh owed his supreme confidence to
two teammates in particular. One oi
them was Fielder Jones, White SOx
recruit, the foundation OF a great pitch
er. although he broke into fast COM
pany with nothing but tremendous
speed and a dinky curve. When the bat
ters began whaling that speed out of
the lot in exhibition games. and ii
looked like a quick return to the minors
for Walsh, Jones went to President
Comiskey. and asked him TO carry the
young giant until he could be taught the
spitball, which then was a compare
lively new wrinkle in baseball.
Gaining the club owners consent,
Jones set to work to convince Walsh
that he only needed to master that spit
ball to become famous, and Big Ed be-
lieyed it, Then Jones set Billy Sullivan
the task of completing the youngster' s
pitching education and instilling perfect
confidence into his stout heart.
When Jones finally uncovered his mas
terpiece in 1906, the baseball world Won
dered why Walsh had been kept on the
bench for two seasons. It knew nothing
of the weary hours Big Ed had spent
in obscurity learning to pitch-Or the
