One Wrong Pitch.
The eccentric Waddell pitched one
ball wrong in that game. He did not
know it was wrong until he talked to
Cobb. Then he knew that one pitched
ball robbed the Athletics of a victory.
and that one pitched ball enabled De-
troit to win the pennant in 1907.
hoS fr,r haf
kinds OF pitching over a stretch of
many seasons, Cobb made this observa-
tion:
Most pitchers follow a set sys-
TEN of pitching to YOU. You can get
this system after batting against
them once or twice. If they throw
YOU q fast ball, slow ball, curve
fast one, in that order the first time
YOU come to bat it is almost certain
that they will throw YOU the same
thing in the same order the next
time YOU come up. Few pitchers
vary from this system, and the few
that do are the leading pitchers.
Knowing what Is coming is one
thing, but hitting the ball is another.
You often know just where the ball
Will be pitched, but often it carries
so much stuff that you cannot get
the proper hold OH the ball and you
fail to hit safely even when YOU have
the advantage Of knowing what 1T is"

the season. And one game decide d
that series, 2 Trimming tie that
broke the Athletics, one of the most
famous games in history.
The Hit Of 1907.
Going further into the matter.
that game was snatched from
Philadelphia in the ninth inning on
home run by Ty Cobb and that
home run stood out az the most i'm
portant hit OF the season of 1907.
But that home run was made pos
sible because Cobb outguessed the
late ''Ru1e" Waddell. = remarks BILE
left-handed pitcher, illiterate, but
cunning, with vast physical power
and with all the stuff q pitcher
wants. He had just about every
thing and Connie Mack had sent
him to the box that afternoon to
stave off the Detroit attack and give
Philadelphia the break that she need
ed to win the championship.
How this game was snatched from
Philadelphia was later told by Wad-
6ell himself. We have a vivid recoI-
lection of his recital and the story
follows:
