NEW YORK, March 2.-The fistic
pot overlooking with choice and
selected cauliflower, will come to
a boil within the next twenty-four
hours when Benny Leonard, the
eminent actor, arrives in town al
most coincident with the expected
decision Of the state athletic com
mission on the status Of Harry
Wills and Tom Gibbons.
Leonard will be with us today
and it is intimated that overtureS
will be made looking toward
possible reconsideration of his an
nounced retirement from the man
ly art of soak-em in favor or tho
manly art Of hokum.
The commission is expected TO
proclaim it's attitude tomorrow
toward the proposal that Gibbons
and Wills be matched in a two"
man elimination affair, with the
winner to meet Jack Dempsey.
Rumors on this subject are many
and varied. One of them is to the
effect that official displeasure has
been voiced against matching CID
bons and Wills at all.
Another has it that the match IL
in the well and favorably known
bag. A third alleges that wills

at last to get his shot at Dempsey
without further preamble. Com
missioner Jim Farley is known to
favor this course OF action with
Muldoon and Brewer holding out
for a Gibbons-Wills meeting.
AS for Benjamin, an actor owes
a duty to his public and his WISH
ostensibly is prompted by desire
to discharge the great obligation
But Billy Gibson's publicity De

broadly of the possibility that Ben
jamin may step out with Mickey

altogether unlikely that the great

pleasure, the latter being repre-
scented by the acceptance OF the

fooled by his own delivery. A curve
ball at anytime may come up and
'hang in the air" as they say. In
other words. if 1t does not break
sharp. it is easy to hit. Conse'
Quently my rule is, don't sever use
a curve as long as your fast ball Is
working right. And remember, all
good pitchers-that is, the top
notchers, must have a fast ball. You
may read of pitchers who have
been called "Curve-ball Kings"-but
in reality, it's the threat OF their
fast ball that makes their curve
effective. The batter Is constantly
wondering when a pitcher VIII
switch from curves to speed. IN
facing a pitcher who has nothing
but a curve ball, smart batters Will
simply set themselves. until good
safe that he will not try to throw
fast one past them.
The fast ball pitcher has many
advantages over the curve ball
pitcher. And records will show
that almost every injured arm in
the game has been hurt by
throwing curves. In throwing a
curve. the important points are
the position of the ball. when 1t
leaves the hand and the position
of the hand with respect to the
sweep of the arm. when the ball
leaves the hand. And finally,
the snap Of the wrist or the
twist. which gives the ball its
spin and the curve that follows.
Any ordinary fan or reader can
| understand how this snap or twist
soon becomes a strain. Imagine
twisting your wrist continually for
ten or fifteen years. Try it few
| times every day for q month and
you will soon notice the effects.
Muscles are easily pulled out OF
place and 1t is that continual twist
ms that puts pitchers on the sore
arm list.
Take a fast ball pitcher. To
protect his arm. all that's necessary
| Is to warm up slowly, in order to
get his muscles loose and pl!able
| before he puts all his speed into
the ball. After he is warmed up.
the fast ball pitcher may tire or
weaken but he will never get =

Control.
The Washington times., 1925-03-02

Coming down in the train from
Jacksonville, this writer unused
upon those words of Doc Whites
and last night he talked with
Clark Griffith, who had more con-
troll than anything else during his
days in the big show. They were
of identically the same mind. Doc
White and Clark Griffith.
"Doc's right, he sure .s right"
said Clark Griffith, lighting a
fresh cigar and leaning back in
his comfortable rocking chair in
the spacious lobby of the Tampa
Bay Hotel, headquarters Of the
Washington Griffs, champions Of
the world. Indeed, I think so
much of control for a pitcher that
| expect to see our veteran pitch
ers almost perfect this year.
Zone of the greatest games I
ever saw pitched was Zachary's
against the New York Giants in
the last world series. Bucky Har-
ris won that game with a hit to
right field in the fifth inning, if
l recall correctly, scoring Peck
and McNeely, but it was Zach
who had to pitch four more in
nings and keep the Giants from
tying the count.
"That was a wonderful exhibit
ton he gave of control. He
hasn't much speed, as you know,
but he has a deceptive delivery
and, when he's right, marvellous
control. His exhibition that day
cinched him as one of the best
pitchers ever taking part in a
world series.
~ kept close watch of Zach
that day and | honestly believe
he never gave a single New York
batsman more than two balls, and
when he did that, he knew what
he was doing. He could put the
ball through a knot-hole that day.
That's perfect control.
"Kelly got a single to right
with one out in the ninth and
Meusel's near-hit ruined Roger
Peckinpaugh, who came through
with a truly miraculous stop and
toss to Harris, forcing Kelly at
second. Two were out and a
tying run on first base when
Zach struck out Wilson for the
final out of the game. He just
played with Wilson, knowing all
the time what he was doing. If l
had ever doubted Zach's ability,
/ was cured then and there"

tinued, did you ever see Stanley
Coveleskie really wild? No,
neither did r? Then why should
we expect him to be wild this
year? He might not have his
stuff now and then, but that
comes to all pitchers. In a tight
game, therefore, he might be on
the losing end. But give him
his regular stuff and control, this
club of ours will always give him
a chance for the victory.
"Now this Ruether has come in
for some criticism, but never for
being wild, though he is a left
handler and left-handers are sup
posed to be wilder than the other
kind. expect to see Ruether
show real control. If he does. he
will win his fair share of games
for US this year. More cannot
be expected of a pitcher.
"As for Gregg, Joe Engel tells
me he showed wonderful control
last year in Seattle's pennant
race. 1t was largely because of
that that Seattle won out. Well,
control in the Coast League is
the same thing as control in this
league. see no reason why he
should not prove a winner with
us. He'll have real team
behind him, remember.
Control on Mound.
<kO ONTROL in the box is the
pitchers biggest asset. 1t
doesn't mean that he puts
a good ball over for a batter, but
exactly the opposite. A real
pitcher with control NEVER gives
the batsman a ball he really likes.
But he does make that batsman
think he's getting the soft one.
George Mogridge, when right,
is great pitcher because he
can fool around out there, get
the batter nervous and then give
him a bad ball to hit at. The
batter thinks he's getting q good
one, but he isn't. It is this COM
bination which makes Mogridge
so effective against the Detroit
club. He is poison to them.
owe had Hollingsworth with
US couple of years ago, you re-
member him. He had more stuff
than any other pitcher with us,
yet he couldn't make the grade.
He lacked control, had too many
runners on the bases all the time.
"Zahniser is another along the
same line. He lacked the proper
control to make himself a con-
sistent winner. It wasn't that he
lacked stuff He had plenty.
But he didn't have the proper con-
troll Of what he had. He made
