What is the one great weakness OF
major league baseball at the pres
ent time?
That is an easy one. Unquestion-
ably it is pitching The batters have
the edge by a VIDE margin.
The supremacy of the batter, how
ever. is always shortlived. In two
or three years the pitcher will again
be on top.
All Of which brings us 70 the ques-
ton: What is the matter with the
pitching? That is easy Of solution.
Lack of a good curve ball is the
fault OF 10 per cent of the present
day major league pitchers. It has
become a lost art with some Of
them.
The era Of freak pitching, plus the
impression that a curve ball is hard
on the arm, has had much TO do
with the passing of the curve from
the repertoire of a great many pitch
ers
The freak delivery was a creation
OF the fast ball. In using. the emery
ball. the mud ball. or any OF the
other so-called freaks, the fast ball
was necessary to get the break.
While those deliveries were toler-
ated a great many pitchers shifted
almost entirely to the fast ball. In
cidentally. for years there has been
growing impression among pitch
ers that the curve ball was very bad
on the arm. These two things have
caused the temporary downfall OF
the hook"
Fifteen years ago practically every
major league pitcher boosted of a
good curve ball. Today the curve
OF a great many pitchers does little
more than twist One good curve
ball pitcher on a staff is about the
average.
In the world series OF 1921 the po-
tency of the curve ball was ap-
parent Barnes, Douglas and Nehf
of the Giants set down the Yankees
without much trouble and all be-
cause the trio used a curve ball to
decided advantage.
never saw a pitcher have a bet
ter curve than did Barnes in the big
series. Douglas and Nehf were not
for behind The Yankees expected
spitball pitching from Douglas. and
were entirely upset when Douglas
used a curve ball almost exclusively.
IL was the same on the side Of the
Yankees. Hoyt,' who had such great
success against the Giants, is one of
the best curve bali pitchers in the
American league. Carl Mays. In ad-
dition TO his peculiar underhand de-
livery. also makes use Of a curve.
The pitching stars Of not so long
ago. Christy Mathewson Mordccai
Brown, Chief Bender. Jack Coombs.
George Mullen, Bill Donovan, Bill
Dinneen and any number of others,
were curve ball pitchers. Go over
the list of pitihers I'm the two major
leagues today and you viii find that
about one in five is the possessor OF
a real curve
When these wild batting orgies are
stopped. il will be curved ball pitch
ins that turns the trick.

Heavy Insurance

By Big MagnateS
Clubs Are Well Protected I'm
Case of Accident Ruth's
Policy Is S150,000.

Major league ball clubs travel 25,-
600 miles every year.
That IS a very conservative esti-
mate Including the spring train
ing trip, practically every club will
travel in excess Of that amount
The big asset OF every major
league club is its players. A park TO
play on is very necessary. but IL is an
easy matter TO find a playing field
IN comparison 10 getting together a

Making all kinds OF hurried jumps
travelling eon fast trains during the
summer and slow ones during the
training season, constantly places
the players in jeopardy An acct
dent that would wipe out a team. or
so injure il that its playing strength
would be greatly impaired. would be

The New York club of the Ameri-
can league as a team is insured for
bout $3.50. 900. The average insur-
ance of the major league clubs runs
about $4,000.

The moment the New York club
secured Ruth in a trade with the
Boston club, a policy in the neigh

on Ruth alone.
Thus il viii be seen that the major
league clubs are well protected in
case disaster should overtake the
