JACK COMBS SOUND ADVICE
Tioer Coach Urges Young Pitchers to
Ignore Batter and Throw at
Anatomy Of Catcher.

II the Detroit Tigers are to have
this year what they have lacked for
many seasons, it is up to Jack Coombs
to do 1t to them. When Jack lectures
the young pitchers this is what he
tells 'em:
"Ignore the batter. Pitch to the
anatomy of your catcher.
1.-THE catcher is your target. You
must work with him and study his
STYLE Of receiving. If he is a good
catcher. he will remain stationary af-
ter you have begun your wind Up.
And. in that event, all you have to do
is pitch to his body.
For instance, If you want to peg
low bali inside, pick, out his right
shoulder. To groove one. merely
throw at his stomach. If you keep
those things in mind, your. control
should be improved considerably.
But the most important thing Is
YOU will learn to ignore your batter
| II will make no difference whether yor
are pitching against 800 hitter or {
second-str;ng pitcher. They will al
look alike to you because your mint
| will be Oh Jour catcher altogether.

In the other innings, Mails was com.

1t was his fifth straight victory
since joining the Indians, his other
victims being the Browns, Athletics

the honor of pitching the Indians into
first place and also of keeping them
there in this hottest of pennant fights,
for had the Indians lost they would
now be in second place.
Urban Faber pitched the sort of ball
that wins nine times out OF ten, but
the Indians found him in the first

solid singles spelling run in the
opening canto. while three hits also
turned the trick in the second. There
