A $25,OOO CHANGE.

The Brooklyn club, in need Of left
handed pitcher last year, decided to
take a chance on Petty, said chance
costing the club in the neighborhood
of $4,000.
Joining the Dodgers at the opening
of the 1925 campaign, Petty, the star
of the minors, was just an ordinary
pitcher in the National league.
He managed to break even on the
season with nine victories and as many
defeats, despite the fact that he was
touched up for an average of almost
five runs in every game he worked.
The previous winter Petty had spent
pitching ball in Florida. Of none too
strong physique, he was unable to do
18 months of continuous pitching and
be at his BEST
Realizing that the experts didn't
figure his fast ball good enough to
fool the batters, he tried to, get by with
change of pace, a curve and slow
one. He met with only fair success.

ton, looking better physically than
had ever seen him.
He told me that he had spent the
winter in California taking it easy and
was, ready to deliver for Manager Rob-
inson, who had resurrected him from
the minors.
AS 1 watched him warm up it seem
ed to me that his fast ball carried
more stuff than ever and l commented
on the fact. 1t was also apparent to
me- that he had a better pitching rep
ertoire than a lot of southpaws who
were winning consistently in the ma
jors.
'In the minors I always figured my
fast ball my best bet" he said. ''In
the majors they tell me it isn't good
enough, that I should mix 'em UP.
'This year. regardless of expert
opinion, the batters in the National
