CURVED BALL PUTS
BIG STRAIN ON ARM
Wonderful Thing to Give
Some Batters.

Pitching isn't what it used to be-
Ed Walsh says so and Ed was one
of the greatest pitchers of his time
and therefore must know something
about pitching.
THE boys don't come up any more
with a curve ball" Ed says. Now a
curve requires a lot Of work to at
tain, but after you get good curve
It is the most useful thing in the
pitchers stock to throw in a pinch.
Il never was a curve ball pitcher,
but the splitter was allowed in my
day. / guess" he continued, zone
Of the reasons why the young men
don't take to the curve more readily
is because it puts a strain on the arm.
1t catches you in the elbow and there
is no escape from the penalty 1t takes
on the throwing arm. But the curve
Is a wonderful thing when certain
Buffers are facing you in a pinch.
There are some batters like Cobb.
Speaker. Collins and a few others
who are likely to outsmart the pitcher
IN the pinch, but as a general rule If
you can give the man at the plate a
curve when the situation Is tense you
have the long end Of it."
Walsh is performing quite a val
liable service for the Sox. He is
schooling the young pitchers not only
upon the field, but in private confer
ences he is impartihg his knowledge
OF the pitching art to the kids as fast
as they absorb 1t.
