offers excellent proof Of that o.
contrasted with Walter Johnsor's
use Of the same delivery.
When this writer first began
following the Washington club,
Walter johnson used no curve
ball. He depended wholly upon
speed, more speed and most speed.
And he won games for q poor
ball club.
It was only when johnson began
losing his magnificent speed that
he learned d curve and his shook
today is d beauty, being delivered
with fine speed and control. he
also tried to pick up 4 slow ball
to give him q change Of pace.
Two or three years 0f expert
nlentation convinced him that he
could hardly use that and 80 to-
day he uses only speed and =
"hook."

all in the way you use EN- !

And right there Is the answer

enough rest. He was always cry
ing to "get in there" The White
Sox needed him and he got his
wish, with the natural result. His
arm gave way, but not because he
used the splitter. It would have
failed him had he never used a
splitter.
Jack Quinn, more than 40 years
old if he is d day, is pitcning
winning ball for the 1926 Mack
men. He uses q splitter, probably
as often as Ed Walsh did or
CoveIeskie does, that is, about
once in eight or ten deliveries.
The other deliveries are masked
by the splitter.

One of thetbest curve ball pitch
ers still depending upon that se-
livery for his success is George
MORridge, now with the Boston
Braves. This writer happened to
be chatting with doc Dippy, as
he is known to his cronies, the
other day in New York and the
subject swung around to @.hooks."
George delivered himself Of this
wise remark. Here it is:
II have always depended more
upon my curve than upon my fast
one. don't think one is harder
upon the arm than the other, pro-
vided both are pitched properly"
The average sore arm results
from faulty pitching motions. 1t
is thus that ligaments are pulled
out Of place. Pitched properly, the
sshook" ought not injure the arm
any more than the fast, ball
AbOht Joe Wood
|UTHEN Smoky" Joe Wood
W broke in he had terrific
speed. He also had faulty
motion. He pitched 'from the
elbow" and not "from the shout
der" In other words, the whole
strain Of delivering his fast ball
came from the arm without the
body to aid behind it. Many base
bali men said at once that Wood
wouldn't last. Well, he didn't.
Washington fans will all recall
those historic duels between Joe
Wood and Walter johnson. Indeed,
Wood, backed by q stronger club,
usually won. But where is Joe
Wood today? And where is Wal
ter johnson?
