How to Pitch
''Babe" Ruth
lRY Malter Johnsonl

How DO pitch to Babe Ruth?"
We'll, that Is the toughest one
yet
IneRer pitch exactly the same TO
Ruth except in one way, ain
always trying TO make him hit q
bad ball.
There are a lot of pitchers in the
American league who insist that
Ruth has certain weaknesses at
tliesbat. y Perhaps he has, but when
pitch MS TO Ruth never work
along that theory.
When the big fellow steps into
the boxswith that murderous club
OF his. ! Just say to myself. Well,
here is Babe. give him everything
you have and trust to luck" Then
proceed to slip him my very best
fast bali and choicest curve.
When sitting on tho bench, ]
have always. watched carefully the
method that the. other pitchers on
our staff use against Ruth, and
how successful they are.
Sometimes a slow curve, broken
outside and low, makes it very
annoying for Babe. George MoS-
ridge often uses that style with
great success,
However, II Mogridge happens
tplslip mp on his control, and get
the curve inside, then 1t is good
night Babe can hit curve ball,
inaide farther than any man in
the game.
fist ball high, and outside,
often troubles hiiu. Such a ball
makes him hit to left field, and
keeps him from getting the full
benait of his swing.
IL mighty dangerous, though,
10 get the fast one over or inside.
Since a pitcher can't always control
the bali: such things often happen.
Then again some, days ho hits
kind of pitching you serve him.
Undoubtedly there are certain
styles lof pitching that Ruth likes
etteis than others. but a pitcher is
foolish 70 figure a batter who can
make s Q home runs in a season as
having any decided weakness.
My motto Is, give him all you
have, and try your very best to
mike him swing at bad balls,
which ID often possible because OF
his great desire to hit.
tTomorrdw johnson will explain
Why so few pitchers are good
iifters.O
