Alex Tells Secrets
 Of Pitching Success

Of all the batters I have faced. and l can't remember oifhand just 1 how many players have been be fore me. Edd Rousch and Ross Young are the trickiest. won't say they are the hardest hitters, but they are the trickiest. smartest.
 Speaking for myself. l am the one who is tiddling around when Eddie and Ross come up to the plate. say to myself-what the devil are they going to do now? Rousch and Young can bluff a bunt; they can cleverly drag the ball down the first base line; they can shift their stance at the plate while the ball is sailing through the air and then can take d good. healthy swat at the ball.
 Such style batters will worry any pitcher.
 The first thing I do when my bat ter is set is to watch his feet. When he starts digging that rear foot into the ground he is getting a toe-hold. He is ready to bust one for fair. He gets q slow curve.
 Rousch and Young do not set themselves at any time They scrape and jockey around, balance on their toes, shift the feet and keep the pitcher in the air.
 The pitcher doesn't know whether it is bunt or a full swing Whats the result? The pitcher Is trying to do the guessing.
 Take batters like Bog Hornsby. Hainie Zimmerman, Gavvy Cravath, Emil Meusel, George Kelly. who have one spot at the plate and only one. They are waiting for one 10 come over, then put all of their power behind the swing.
 such fellows will hit them far. When they do, the pitcher isn't worried. But Rousch and Young are the ones who make a pitcher do a full days work each time they strut to the plate.
 The proper mental attitude Is everything in pitching. I always carry the thought that 1t is more difficult for the batter to get the ball safe than to be retired. He is play ing a lone hand against nine men. l face a majority of hatsmen with that thought and have been very successful.
 Eaters Of the Eousch and Young type-Ty Cobb of the American league has a similar style--tcst the pitcher to the limit. l am frank to admit l always feel a bit more con- fortable when either of the first two named are out of the way.
 The batsman who mixes 'cm up is a much tougher customer than the sluggins type. best eXempHhed by Babe Ruth.
