in the major leagues

Pitching in the major leagues runs in cycles.
 At present there is a hysteria over change of pace ball among pitchers and managers.
 When scout speaks glowingly of some rookie he has seen in the bushes, the first question the man ager Of his club is sure to ask him is:
 Has he a good change Of pace ."
 Most fans have a mistaken idea of what change Of pace ball really is. Many think of it as simply q slow ball. It is all Of that and then some moro.
 No pitcher is born with a change Of pace. It is an acquired art, can be added to d pitchers repertoire only through the medium of much hard work plus q keen mind and plenty of courage.
 change of pace is most effective when used in q pinch. In other words, with a couple of runners on the sacks, or better yet the bases filled, and the count three and two on the batter; that is the ideal spot for the change of pace ball if properly controlled.
 In using the change Of pace. the pitcher does the very thing the words imply shifts or rates his pace, using exactly the same motion he does in throwing the fast ball or curve, only much slower.
 The ability to do that very thing is what makes the change of pace ball valuable. If the pitcher must shift his pitching style in order 10 resort to his change of pace, hc inn m, diately loses 50 per cent of it's through tipping off his intent.
 The change of pace is surprise ball. When the batter feels the is too tense for the pitcher to gamble and that it is reasonable for him to expect the fast one. then it is that the change of pace con- pletely upsets the batsman.
 In such 8 crisis. I have seen some Of the greatest batters in the his tory of the game stand as if trans fixed while they watched the hoatcr slip by perfect strike, and hear the umpire call them out without so much as even lifting their bat off their shoulder
 When ! came into the American lcagu" 22 years ago. the fast ball pitched high and usually on the in- Sido was tho most popular delivery Few of tho hatters relished it.
 The fast ball, pitched high. had been the vogue for perhaps 10 years prior to my entry into the majors. Then came the era of the spitball
 Pitchers early learned for the spitball to ba real effective. it was necessary to keep fl low. preferably about kn"o high. 'nquestionably the spithall changed the style of pitching from the high to the low ball.
 The spitball. by the way. was Forertnn"r to all era of freak or trick deliveries, These trick do- liveries soon gave the pitchers such an edge they were barred from the game. The lively ball was also in troduced to help the batters come back.
 Next came the knucklc ball. an honest delivery, that carries with it much the same deception as some Of the freak styles.
 However, the lively ball without a question has revoutionized the style of pitching. as did the sptball. No longer has q pitcher who de- pcnhs exclusively on fast ball. a chance to get by in the majors. He must be able to slow up, use a change Of pace.
 Now the change of pace Is all the vogue. What will be next?
