Further, the majority declared. the

bly, few, who use the splitter more
as a threat, may last bit longer.

use the spitball almost exclusively.
On the other hand, Shocker and

Shocker is a wonder At mixing them

He resorts to the splitter in a pinch
more than at any other time.

Being a freak delivery it caused
the brainy pitchers to belve deeper

ONLY FEW YEARS FOR
STYLE TO REMAIN IN
EITHER OF MAJORS
Only Nine Hurlers of Promi
nence in Big Company Who
Continue Practice
MOST 'SPITTERS' VETERANS
Faber, shocker, Coveleskie,
, Quinn, Russell, Grimes, Doak
and Few Others Use It
By BELLY EVANS

The day of the spitball pitcher is
fast passing. -
1t won't be very long before that
species of pitching will have entirely
passed out of the major leagues.
How many years before the spit
ball becomes merely memory?
Well that IS purely a matter of
opinion, and opinion differs widely
on all things pertaining to baseball.
l think it Is fairly conservative to
say that within six years the spitball
delivery will have become very much
passe.
Just IL present there are only
about nine pitchers of any promin-
ence who have the right to continue
the use of the splitter.
When the spitball delivery was
eliminated from the game, certain
dispensation was given pitchers who
depended on its use. These pitchers
were made immune from the ruling
and were given permission to con-
tinue the use of the delivery while
they remained in the majors. That
was only fair.
Few Sritballers Remain.
In the American League there
are five pitchers who still dabble
with the splitter. They are Faber Of
Chicago, Shoeker of st. Louis,
Coveleskie of Cleveland, Quinn Of
Boston and Russell of Washington.
That the spitball is still an effec-
tive delivery as far as the American
League goes IS proved by the fact
that three of the first eight pitchers
in point of effectiveness last season
were spitball pitchers, Faber, Shock
err and Coveleskie Faber let the
league in point Of effectiveness as to
earned runs.
In the National League are Bur
leigh Grimes of BROOKLYN, Bill Doak
of St. Louis, Dana Fillingim of Bos-
ton and Clarence Mitchell of PhiIa-
delphia The first three named are
the only pitchers who used the moist
delivery to any great extent
Mitchell is a left-handed splitter, and
