should not do it now. 1t would be
interesting to see whether. at an

it certainly looked as though his
effort to make the weight had af-
fected both his stamina and his hit

Kaplan, on the other hand. was
certainly entitled to the verdict and
as f~eatherweight champions have

Thu pitcher, who is named first as

who made the curve ball possible,

his time was a good pitcher he
would still deserve the honor Of the
highest award for his discovery Of
the way to produce the De-
cause baseball changed In every way
after the curve came into common
use.
It is probable that the curve ball
was pitched Or. to be more nccnr'
ate, was thrown before 1t was dis
covered by Cummings. Left hand
throwers curve the ball naturally.
Some right hand throwers do so.
Cummings, in the course Of his
baseball career. as~certafned that
when he held the ball a certain wav
and gave 1t a certain twist 1t
changed its course in h channe
of its progress toward the batter
He continued to work upon this dis
coyery until he was able to produce
the curve at will. and then control

fact of all. His first curve was the
old roundhouse curve now known as
the %outcurve.
There is no incurve. There never

the greatest speed possible to pro

shoot on the ball by delivering It
from the ends OF their fingers with
all OF the force they a muster
That is not a curve.
Cnmminss did not pitch an IN
curve nor did he know anything
about the drop ball. which is the
o~utcurve with reverse English but
he was the first mar to tame the
ou+curve and from his beginning
started the present school of curve
pitching which now rules baseball
When he announced that he could
handle the curve and beean to tell
others how he DID II a great contro-
versy arose as to whether there was
any curve ball, College professors
and teachers of natural physics In
sisted that the curve was a hoax
and Impossible. Personal demon
stration finally proved that the col
lere men wore wrong and Of course
in these days the bows who are at
