PITCHER ROM MEL HAS
PECULIAR DELIVERY
Athletic Star Discovers That He
Has Been Throwing
Finger Nail Ball.

It's a wise father who knows his
own on, and it's a wise pitcher who
knows what he is throwing.
Ed Rommel, Philadelphia Athletic
star hurler, who turned in 26 wins
with the lowly Mackian clan last sea-
son, has always attributed his success
TO a knuckle-ball delivery. Now Rom
mel has learned that he has been mas
%uuerading under false colors, that
all the time he has been throwing a
"fnger-nail ball past the of the
platter.
The fact was revealed recently when
some photographs taken of Rommels
grip on the ball were examined. The
pictures distinctly show that the Phiiiy
star marksman grips the ball with his
finger nails. Years ago when Ed was
pitching them past the bludgeons OF
International league swatters, a New
ark baseball writer. identity unknown,
wrote a glowing article about Rom
mel's knuckle ball.
When Ed entered the American
league the reputation stuck with him.
Not until this spring did he learn that
he was throwing a freak delivery,
although since then he has admitted
that his knuckles are not called into
play mt all.

pitching is terrible on the arm, Joe
manages to get away with it, due to
an exceptionally w~ell-developed whip.
