"SLEWFOOT" NEEDHAM
NOW PITCHING COACH

Tom Needham, known to Ma
tional League fans for years as
"Old Slewfoot," is now pitching
coach for the Chicago White Sox.
He is monarch Of the bull.pen,
notifying Eddie Collins when a
pitcher is ready and when he is
not.
Needham started his career with
Baston, of the National League, in
1904, and remained in the Hub
until 1907 when he was secured by
the Giants. He caught one season
for the Gotham team and then
Joined the Cubs. He remained in
Chicago until 1914 when he retired.
1t will be Needham's task to look
over each pitcher carefully. II one
has a tendency Of wildness and
the other exhibits a tendency to
have good control 1t will be the
task of the veteran to select the
one with the best stuff.
