PITCHING SHOWING
 MUCH IMPROVEMENT
Heydler Thinks HurlelS Are More
 Effective This Year

New York, May l.---Proof that major league twirlers, particularly in the National league are showing great effectiveness this season than in several seasons was seen today by John A. Heydler, president of the senior circuit, in the results of the first stages of the 1924 campaign.
 These show, he pointed out, that of the 46 games played in the National league up to and including yesterday. 22 were decided by one run margins The indication of improved pitching is further shown in the fact that eight of these games were decided by 3-e scores and five by a-i margins, in ad- dition 10 which four shutouts have been recorded.
 Further evidence of effectiveness in the box is claimed by Mir. Hcydler in the home run records, which at the end Of yesterdays play showed the National leagues total of 4t to be nine less than at tho samc iuncturc Of the 1923 campaign. Due to the fact that the American leagues home run sluggcrs are ahead of their 1923 pace. however, the major league total of IT was three more than on the same date a year ago.
 The better boXwork is generally at- tributed to the new ruling under which the injection of new balls into the game on slight pretcxts is curbed.

Calling attention to Pitcher Jack Quinn of the Boston Red soy, the Ponce dc Leon of baseball.
 Since the New York Yankees traded Pitcher Urban shocker to the St. Louis Browns, beating Miller Hug gins. Babe Ruth and Co.,, has been his favorite pastime.
 However, Shocker has been nc more embarrassing in this respect than Jack Quinn, veteran spitball pitcher of the Boston Braves.
 Until the season of 1922, Quinn was valued member of the Yankees pitching staff. His failure to show in the 1921 series with the Giants, led to the belief that he was done.
 When the Yankees made one of their many trades with Boston. Quinn was part Of the talent turned over by the New York club to the Rcd soS. That was prior to the start of the 1922 campaign.
 In the first series of the season be- tween the two clubs, which opened the 1924 race at Boston. Quinn scored one of the two Red sox victories over the world champs.
 Defeated Tanks Ten Times
 When asked after the game how many times he had beaten the Yam kees since leaving them, he replied:
 "A player always likes to beat a team that turns him loose. That is one reason why ! can give you some figures on my showing against the Yankees
 According to my dope have faced the New York club 12 times and have scored 10 victories.
 T am rather proud of that record, because a pitcher has done a days work when he beats the Yankees.
 Before the season is over hope 10 add at least three more games to my collection of wins and if l am lucky, maybe twice as many" Quinn Is Pitching Marvel
 Jack Quinn is one Of the pitching marvels of baseball.
 This season makes his 25th year in professional ball. Like the venerable Babe Adams. he has passed the 10th milestone. He seems good for many years more.
 Quinn gives the lie to the general belief that the epitball delivery is

hard on the arm.
 T have never had real sore arm in my life," says Quinn. 'and I have used the spitball to great extent.
 1T don't think the splitter hurts the arm if thrown with free motion. IL is the pitcher who snaps the splitter that pays the penalty"
 Peculiar Motion Bafrles
 American league players marvel at the manner in which Quinn throws tho spitball. Hc moistens it with tue same motion that he delivers the ball 10 the batsman.
 Holding the ball in his gloeed hand. he brings tho fingers of the pitching hand 10 the mouth and with tho same motion carries through and delivers the ball to the batter.
 With most spitball pitchers, moist- ening the ball is separate act from the delivery.
 Quinn's method Of placing the saliva on tho ball makes it impossible 10 determine whether he is going to throw the spitball or fast one.
 That in itself is part of the secret of his success.

HARVARD MAILING FOR PERC HAUGHTON
Want Famous Football Mentor
 to Return

Cambridge. Mass. May IA power full group of Harvard graduates is working with might and main to bring Percy Haughton back to Havard to take up the reins over the gridiron destinies once more. The effort strikes a responsive chord at the university for the opinion is that he is the one man to pull the Crimson out of the football rut.
 At best, Haughton could not be pulled into the Harvard harness this year. as his contract at Columbia binds him to the New York institu- ton for one more season. He will be free to make a change next year, however, if he so decides, and the Harvard men who are now trying to bring him back are confident that they will succeed.
 Haughton's sympathies and affec- tions are with the Crimson, they say, and he admits that for these and other reason he would prefer to help his Alpa Mater rather than attain success elsewhere. When he was called away, Haughton explained that his business interests in New York compelled much of his time in that city. Next year, it is explained, these same interests will demand his time in Boston and the influential Harvard men who are working for his return are using this as one of their argu- ments for his return.
 If Harvard gets Haughton back, ho will not be confined 10 football alone. but probably would take hand in guiding the nine and other athletic teams.
