NOLAN INVENTED CURVE BALL
Pitcher for indianapolis Independent
Team in 1876 Was First to Use
Deceptive Sphere.

'The first curve ball I ever saw was
thrown by Only Nolan, pitcher for an
indianapolis independent team in
1885, says George Scribner, former
catcher
THE Louisville team, of which /
was member, played Indianapolis a
game that year. We had heard of
Nolan's curve but doubted his ability
to throw one. When we faced him
we got the surprise of our lives He
hooked the ball over the plate in a
manner that made our eyes pop wide
open
Henry Chadwick, now called the
father of baseball, was writing base
ball for newspaper in Brooklyn at
the time He wrote stories denoun-
cling the reports that Nolan could
curve the ball
Nolan went east to show his curves
to Chadwick. He used two posts in
demonstrating that he actually could
curve the sphere. Chadwick admitted
Nolan's power, but said it was in his
arm-that no other man could posi-
bly, curve ball
But it wasn't long until every
youngster could throw better curves
than Nolan"

him. Ebbetts. fairly compelled Tinker
to jump to the Federal league to main
tain his self-respect, and since then he
has proved the most effective foe of
the old league which abused him.
The situation looked so tough to
the Federal league promoters even as
late as year ago that the established
forces easily could have sidetracked
the outlaw movement by modifying

laws" with the American association
franchise in Chicago, thereby occupy
ing the vacant territory on the North
side of the big city. At the time it
would have looked better to North
siders than the doubtful proposition of
financing an outlaw circuit, for the
Federals had nst then interested the
Wards and their big bank roll in the
venture.

ERRORS HAVE HELPED FEDS
First Bone Play Was Perpetrated
When Cincinnati Club Released
Shortstop Joe Tinker.

For the defensive situation into
which organized baseball has been
forced by the Federal leagues attack
on the foundation of the nations pas
time the forces of organized baseball
have only themselves to blame. There
could have been no Federal league OF
sufficient dimensions or pretensions
to worry anybody but for the mistakes
of the "old line" magnates.
They are constantly talking about
the bone plays" pulled off by thick
skulIed athletes and ridieuling the
players for lack of gray matter and
inability to think quickly. But no ball
player or team of ball players ever
performed in as slow thinking man.
ner as did the men who are indirectly
responsible for the existence OF the
Federal league.
The first Of these bone plays was
pulled by the directors of the C1ncln-
natl club when they released Joe
Tinker rather than give him the COM
plete responsibility which, as manager
of the Reds, he demanded. The Reds
not only lost swell manager, as
Tinker has since proved himself to be,
but they furnished the Federal league
with the first real ammunition for its
battle to wreck the sport
With the Federal league making
herculean efforts to tempt Tinker
away from organized baseball, while
the player-manager was disguised
over his i'll treatment in Cincinnati,
Brooklyn went right along treating
| Tinker like dog.
| Instead of realizing the danger OF
the situation, Brooklyn tried to blum
Tinker into accepting lower salary
than he demanded to manage the
Dodgers, in spite of the fact he was
willing to stick in organized baseball

ball, and I can find no logical reason
why man should not play golf left
handed just as well as right-handed.
