N OF SPITTERS IN THE BIG LEAGUES
by ROBERT W. MAXWELL
Sports Editor Evening Public Ledger

yITHEN Stanley Coveleskic and Burcgh Grimes staged
w that wonderful pitching battle in Cleveland Tuesday,
of the spectators realized they gazing the
last sptba the major leagues The best pitchers
the Cleveland and Brooklyn clubs probably made their
final bow to the sport public and the curtain fell on their
baseball amid of widest excitement.
M 1t tough to reward hero like Covceskie with
the blue envelope after those three grand and glorious
victories which won the pennant for the Indians The
goes for Burlegh Grimes who worked his heart out
in futile effort halt the winning streak of the Ameri
League rivals. Yet while wild eyed raving inco
herent fans celebrating the winning Of the world
series the heroes of the day virtually walked out OF the
picture.
Last winter the major leagues the rules They
legated against all forms freak pitching eliminating
the shine ball. the emery ball. the paranc, tallow and
other deliveries which had become popular. The spit
ball also sentenced to die but reprcve Of
was granted.
Spitbal pitchers permitted work this year and
try, IL possible master legal form of delivery. Club
sent in the of these wrlers to the cagu"
presidents and only those the list permitted
tampcr with the ball in way. No young pitchers who
used the moist delivery admitted TO the major
leagues. The magnates unanimous in ruling that
beginning in 1921 only the old fashioned pitching would
be allowed.
Pitchers like Coveleskie and Grimes did not abolish
the sptba Their clubs in the pennant and
they had to at top speed all They couldn't
experiment and lose ball Therefore they became
proficient saliva singers, everything they had
10 help their ball clubs and let tho future take of
itself.
They say it is easy to get along without the splitter.
but such is the Slim Sallee tried it and failed

pitcher perfects his style after of hard work. and
takes time to start all over again.
n. OERHAPS the major league presidents tcH grant
another repreco TO the SptbdU pitchers a the
annual meeting this winter but this is not likely
be done unless it is absolutely necessary. If

place of one of the stars Of the game and get with it.
left handed pitcher also needed Dick Neihaus
purchased from st. Paul last year and was expected
to fill the BILL but he failed to come through. 1t the
with other southpaws, and Speaker realized that
unless he had good porsider his club the chances
of winning the pcnnant would be mighty slim.
Another search was made and Walter Mails lifted
from Portland Mails had been in the big leagues before
but failed to make good. For that he not
considered seriously and passed up by every one
the Cleveland scouts.
All Mails did after joining tho Indians was win six
games in In the world series he pitched fifteen
and one. third innings and did not allow a run. His
victory Sherod Smith in the sixth world series game
put Cleveland in position to win the series with four
straight games.
THEREFORE,, IL looks a, If the hopis OF the
1 ma9nateS are something like hokum. If q reoi

manner because that was the only thing they could do
Smiths home run with the bases full considered
the turning point in the series
II tried TO keep the ball on the inside said Grimes
because Smith cant hit well against that kind of

The triple play which pulled of by Wambsganss

was second and Miller first, with out, and
Mitchell at bat. Somebody wanted to know how it hap
pcncd that Miller close to second when Wamby
caught ball. because Otto is slow runner and
has shown any signs of speed before:
That was a hit and play said one of the
players. 'Mche who is good hitter, flashed the sign
