Giving the spitters a new lease on

That Is the commercial angle of
the proposition.
But the men who deal In human

the heart to put such stars as are
represented in this group out of
business by depriving them of their
pitching cunning.
This is the human and the better
side.
1t Is the angle which appeals to
the fans who support the game.
We don't know which motive was
