new RULES
AND EFFECTS
ON PITCHERS
Jack Quinn and Several
Others Hit by New
Code.

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-of the five
or six slabsters who figure to carry
the bulk OF the Yankees pitching bur-
den this season only one-Jack Quinn
is addicted to the use of any of the
recently interdicted freak" deliver
les. shawkey, Mays, Thormahlen,
Mogridge, and Shore use no artificial
means whatever to enhance the effec-
tiveness of their natural hurting abtl'
tiles, and hence are beyond the reach
of the radical legislation enacted at
last weeks meetings. Quinn, how.
ever, is a spitballist, one of the very
few who have ever achieved an ap-
proximately complete control OF the
salivary sling, and is therefore vitality
interested in this apparently uncalled
for reform"
Quinn will be permitted to use his
splitter this year, but in the years to
come will be obliged to struggle along
as best he can without it. Others will
labor under the same handicap, and
some OF them, perhaps most of them,
Will l1ll NY klC haJoluC. -" .SSA
firmed spitballists' have anything else
to speak of, and a great majority OF
them will probably fade from the
major league picture when their only
really effective delivery is taken from
them. Luckily, Quinn is not a mem
Der of this gloomy company.
Indeed, big Jack" never has been
wholly or even largely dependent on
his splitter for success. He has good
one, one of the best now extant, but
for years Il has been his custom to use
1t as threat rather than constant
aid. He goes through the motions with
almost every delivery, but seldom
dampens the ball except in an emer.
-gency or for strategic purposes. Once
the threat" is established he depends
almost exclusively on speed, curves,
and control, with the latter element
predominating.
1t is likely therefore, that the ban on
him far less than almost any other
freak" pitcher in either major league.
Eddie Cicotte, the first successful ex-
ponent OF the shine ball, should suffer
as little as Quinn, provided, of course,
that his arm is again intact.
Cjcotte's success has been attributed
almost wholly to the sinner, whereas
it has really been due to his amazing
control OF an exceptionally varied as,
sortment of deliveries and his uncanny
knowledge of opposing batters. He
has a sinner, OF course, and has not
been sparing in its use. But Of recent
years he has been almost, il not quite,
as effective without it as he has been
with 1t. The, great secret of his sue
cess lies in his ability to force his op-
ponents TO hit at balls, and the secret
Of this ability is control.
The same applies, in somewhat les.
ser measure, to Hold Eller, of the Reds.
Filler was good pitcher, if not q great
one, before he started flirting with the
shine ball. He had good speed and a
very fair collection of curves and his
control was not to be lightly sneered
at. He never has been and probably
never will be as Smart" a pitcher as
Cicotte, however, and 1t may be that
he will find it difficult at first to adapt
himself to the new conditions. Yet
sooner or later he is bound to find"
himself. and when he does he will
speedily claim place among the lead.
