NEW YORK. May 1.-THE cele-

day curve ball pitching became a
reality. is again going the rounds Of
the two major leagues. As a result
there is a surplus Of feeling when GER

Carl Mays has been openly charged
with using the old weapon. Dick Ru-

nents. Elmer Myers narrowly es-
capped a bat thrown by Lawton Witt,
team-mate. TO whom he was pitch

Alexander has been charged with
heaving dangerous fast one.

had novel defense Of the high in
side fast one he uses occasionally
The batter, he explained, often steps
back Of the plate, standing close to
the plate. As the ball approaches he
steps forward and often is successful
in meeting the ball before It breaks.
The batter, he believes, does this
more often II expecting a curve ball.
He expressed the belief that there is
only one defense against tactics Of this
kind for the pitcher, and that is to
pitch the high, fast ones inside, Fore
ing the batter TO pop out or let the
ball pass

There are few pitchers TO my knowl-

plate. but they have TO protect them
selves. The batter IS bringing danger
to himself if he persists In stepping
back and walking up on this fast one

catch him"

stars have been accused OF throwing

On the clubbing side Of the ledger
the figures show the Red Sox are out
hitting the Tigers by approximately
eight points. There is a reason for
the Tiger smash. That is why they are
not figuring in the dash for first
