Billy Evans Says
PITCHING CYCLES

Pitching in the major leagues runs
in cycles.
When l broke into the American
League 20 years ago, pitchers using
fast high ball almost exclusively
were the stars.
Cy Young, Rube Waddell, Walter
Johnson, Fred Glade and other out
standing pitchers depended almost
entirely on the effectiveness of the
fast high one
Recently there has been a run on
low ball pitching, interspersed with
much freak stuff, the knuckle ball
predominating.
Bill Dinneen. now an American
League umpire, in his day one of the
games greatest pitchers, is looking
for revival of the high fast ball.
II am sure any pitcher with a good
fast one, pitched shoulder or letter
high, could win consistently in the
majors. The novelty of the thing, if
nothing else, would get him by" says
Dinneen.
Dinneen says that more high flies
result against high ball pitching;
that it is far more difficult to proper
ly time than the ball pitched between
the knee and the waist line.
SCARCITY OF CLASS
For several years the class of base
ball has suffered because of the lack
of likely material enlisted from the
minors.
Players capable of stepping into
the shoes of fading stars like Cobb,
Speaker, Collins, Johnson and the
rest are few and far between.
Az q matter of fact, these same
players after having starred from Is
to 20 years, are still just about the
best at their respective positions.
Looking over the ring material, it
looks as if there was just as great q
scarcity of good fighters as ball
players.
Several of the present day cham
pions are far removed from the
standard Of the fighters who for
years have held championships.

ers for the titles, would like nothing
better than a new lease on life.
Pretty soft for them.
JOE WOOD AT YALE
Had chat with Joe Wood the
other day. Baseball fans will recall
Wood as one of the games greatest
right handed pitchers.
Wood yis now head baseball coach
at Yale He had his club watching
the New York Yankees and the
Cleveland Indians in q game at New
York, just prior to meeting Prince
ton.
If Joe hoped that his proteges
would profit as result OF seeing
the big leaguers in action, he was
doomed to disappointment.
AS is often the case, the major
leaguers had an off day and pulled
several plays that would have caused
the collegians to blush had they done
the same.
Wood is sold on his new job. He
hopes to spend the remainder of his
baseball days at Yale. He is very
popular with the collegians and has
been blessed with much success.
