something like the spitball which gave
fans new heroes TO worship and some
thing new to talk about
The pitchers who stand out this
season. with few exceptions. have
stood out before. fellows like Grover
Alexander and Smoky Joe Wood.
They. like others who have done well,
are using speed or the spitball.
The one hurier with something new,
a fooler that may get into the same
class with the spitball and put a new
kick" in the game. is Gene Dale OF
the Cincinnati Reds. He broke in
this season with a slow curve. the
likes OF which had never been seen
on a big league diamond.
Other slow balls OF fame have been
straight. Dale's slow one Is not only
the sIoweSt slow ball in the majors,
but curves.
! saw Dale in his first game against
the New York Giants. McGraw's men
had never seen anything like the
Youngsters slow one and they did not
get a hit in seven innings. Hans Lo'
