PRUETT WOULD Be STAR IF
HE HAD FAST DELIVERY

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-'If Pruett
of the ST. Louis Browns had a good
fast ball, he would be one of the
greatest southpaws in the history of
the game" says Babe Ruth.
The Babe doesn't hand out such q
line of dope as an alibi to explain
his inability to hit Pruett. Pruett's
speciality Is striking out the Babe.
The big fellow is practically helpless
against "Shuck's" slow curve and
fast-breaking fadeaway.
Ruth's remarks relative to Pruett
goes for a score of other major
league pitchers. While pitchers who
relyy entirely on a fast ball have no
chance with the rabbit balP' now an
use, a pitcher to become a star must
have a fast ball in his assortment.
Pruett has everything except a
fast ball. He has two types Of curves,
puzzling fadeaway ad a nice
change of pace. The slender young
ster, however, lacks a fast ball.
Pruett's best fast ball is of medium
speed, just the hittable sort OF de-
livery.
Pruett boasts a fadeaway that Is
as hard to hit as was the fadeaway
delivery used by MatheWson. Few
left handlers have ever tried the
fadeaway delivery. which naturally
makes that style all the more effec-
tive for Pruett.
But the fast ball is lacking, and
the opposing batters know it. Con-
sequently when Pruett pitches, the
opposing batters hug the plate,
knowing they have nothing to fear
from the fast one. If Pruett had a
good fast ball. such a practice would
be dangerous and wouldn't be In
dulged in.
Such stance makes 1t easier to
hit Pruett's slow offerings, since the
batters know just what to expect. A
good fast ball would serve to act as
threat for Pruett.
Lack of a fast ball keeps him from
becoming a star.
