Once a player gets the reputation OF
being a "cheater" it is a difficult mat

Dave Danforth of the Browns Is an
example of such a reputation. In his
early days as a minor league pitcher
Danforth doctored the balls.

was always held against him as o

lie says 1t is merely habit. Opposing
players are positive it Is then that he
roughens the ball.
Danforth says his effectiveness is
increased when the opposing players
start fussing about his delivery, and
that is the real reason why he always
rubs his thumb or the ball as IL nick
ing the leather in order to get a rough
spot.
