wun OF the balls yu pitched, an
Gorge Black didn't ketch one OF
them" Jim sez: An I wuz amin
fer his Ease all the Tine / sez Jim
wot's the sikology of yore sucksess?"
He sez: Bill. hits simply this:
Never throw a ball where a feller
kin hit il. Ef yu1l do that. hits shore
to be a nO-hit game an nobody hain't
fattenin' up his battin average at
yore expense" But wot ef the UNI
pire let's a feller go TO base on balls?"
"Skeer the umpire so he KANT see
nuthin but strikes an then you're all
rite. He's the key to the situashun' an
ef you're the rite kind OF a baseball
locksmith yu kin put yore trust in
God an feer not" II sez: 81 notised
as how yu seemed so self-koniident."
He sez: AN so I wuz. Yu see, ! use
Mathematics in my game. I iggered
that ef a feller wuz standin' at the
plate with a four-foOt bat an ef
throwed the ball eighty feet frum the
plate an he wuz never shore until
after hit had passed wether hit wuz
comm in frunt OF him or back Of him
he wuzn't apt TO hit II. An hit wurk-
ed out all rite. In these days yu
kaint do much without Mathematics.
The ferst ball pitched wuz hallaga-
zOOk out-curve. Neeiher the batter
nor Gorge Black seen hit until hit
struck the grandstand; but seen sum
fellers in the bleechers near the gate
doin' some dodgin The Allintown
feller Jest stood an stared at me- I
had him paralyzed. 'Whereinhell du
yu think / AMIN Wilmington or up
in Brandywine hunderd sumwhere p
he asst. 'Ef you're pitchin' fer me.
yull du me. a favr Dy rememberin'
that I'm at Frunt and Yoonyun street
an not on Frank Lacfey's rrunt lawn
up in the Brandywine hillsi Bill. that
made me mad. I desided as how I'd
show him sum pitchin' as wuz pitchin'
THE next time | throwed the ball !
used the yoomadoolah in-curvc. Hit
went over by third. skerted the south
side bleechers. went in one end OF the
grandstand an out the uther end an
kun back to the pitchers box Jest as
eesy as cooin' dove. That batter an
Gorge Black never seen hit until hii
KUN back to my nit" I sez: An wot
did the umpire say hit wuz?' He sez:
THE umpire shook his lode Of fat an
exklaims: Hits remarkable kud
see as how all the Alllntown fellers
wuz gittin' agitated But I kept kool
an kolleckted, an sent in my un-
doolatin' yoodle-yoodle slow ball. Hit
fooled that feller at bat so bad that
he struck at hit three times between
the time hit left my hand an reeched
the home plate an sored aloft an
went over the grandstand roof. wu7
| jest gittin' het up wen Doc van Horn
run out an sez. sez he: Jim. the
games wun an hit I'D be a krime "a
keep yu in the box pitchin' agin' them
AllintOwn fellers. I want to put In
sum OF my infeeryur pitchers an save
yu fer the reel hevvy wurk sez
But I hain't hit Gorge Blackr The
Doc sez: An yu hain't goin' TO git a
chance 10 hit him. becaws he's kwit,
That be.n the kase. I stepped OUTER
the box an give the uther pitchers 2
chance to du sum practisin' agin then
| Allintown fellors."
An the fine thing about hit, Mar,
Ann. is that Jim haint a bit swello,
