mock. for instance, has an over
hand curve that Ii the best ball he
pitches. Hoyt's fast one Is the best
thing he has, and Urban ShOcktr
gets more stuff with his slow one.
sherry Smith, the Cleveland left
handler, Is one Of the pitchers who
depends mostly on control, Sherry
can put q ball right where he
wants to, when he's right.
But what / started out to tell
about was the discussion between
Hoyt and Pennock.
II always make It d rule when
I'm pitching to make batters hit
my best ball" Hetbie said. And
Hoyt agreed with him. However,
that doesn't mean that they use
that hest ball all the time. Take
Herbie, for instance.
He will use fast one or side
arm curve all the time when he
figures the batter isn't going 10
hit. But II he thinks there's =
hit.and-ruH sign on, or the batter

ball.
Another good rule, Hoyt said,
Is not to show them youE best bail
too often. For instance, IS went
out there and pitched fast balls
three times out Of five, they'd get
used to II after awhile and the Dsst
bail have would suddenly become
my worst one
Here's another thing that Herbie
said that may sound queer: a lot
of pitchers fall down in the big
leagues because they've got too
much stuff" he said. Their
curves are so big, or break 80 wide
that they haven't any control.
Bob Grove was that way his first
year In the league. Bob had the
biggest curve ever looked at. and
fast, too, but he couldn't control tt
and he lost lot Of bali games.
This year Bob's curve isn't 50 wide,
but he's right in there with It.
And he's lot better pitcher today
than he was when he had that big
curve.
Walter Beall, the kid right-haId-
err with our club. is another one
like that. I don't believe there's
q pitcher in the league today who
has q curve ball that can compare
with BealI's. But he hasn't heen
able to get going because be lacks
control. The biggest curve in the
world isn't worth anything to .
pitcher IL he can't make Il 60
where he wants IL. One Of these
days BeaII win cut down his curve
4 little and get control and he'll
be q wizard.
That's true of a lot OF young
pitchers. They come into the league
thinking that they've got to get
more stuff than ever on the ball to
make good-and the result is they
try so hard that they're wild.
In about q year or two, though,
they learn their stuff-they put out
all the fancy stuff, get control and
a little knowledge of hitters, and
they make good. You can always
tell the rookie from the veteran,
that way. When rookie gets in g.
hole and gets a little wild, he
always bears down" harder-and
then gets worse.
When an old.timer gets in hole,
he eases up and gets that ball In
there depending on control and his
kowledge of the hitter TO get by.
Believe me, big league pitcher
has a lot to learn. That's why so
many fellows can make good in the
minors and so few of them really
90 big in the majors.

to avoid congested sections. Besides.

were guided by the officials and engi-
neers of the National Capital Park
