of perfectly legitimate methods.

have reference to the knuckle ball.
The knuckle ball is legal because
it is pitched without resorting to any
artifice. The peculiar break on the
ball is caused by the manner in
which it is held prior to delivery.
With most pitchers the knuckle ball
is held in reserve. Eddie Rommel is
the one exception. He really uses it
more than his fast one or curve.
The knuck1e ball is difficult to con-
troll. A great many pitchers who use
it handicap their effectiveness. rather
than increase it. because failure to
get the knuckle ball over keeps them
in the hole.

What is the rule governing the
play where fielder throws his glove
at batted or thrown ball and it
comes into contact with same?.
When a player throws his glove
ct . batted or thrown bail it must
strike it or no attention is paid to
the act.
If the glove does hit the ball then
the offending player is severely pcna-
lized..
The old rule was that on batted
ball all runners were entitled to adj
vance three bases and on thrown
ball two bases.
This rule is stiM operative but a
rather drastic addiction has been made
to. the original rule. While the
runners are entitled to the advance
ment on the play, they may so even
farther IL they wish to make the
attempt at the peril Of being retired.
