Alex Tells Secrets
Of Pitching Success
(BY GROVER ALEXANDER)

Baseball statisticians and others
who try to divide the parts Of the
game into percentage points say
pitching is so per cent of baseball.
disagree with this basis.
l don't know just how valuable
pitching is, but l will say without
assistance from the other players
even the pitcher is lost.
Inielders. outfelders and catcher
can work hand hand with the
pitcher. How many outfelders fail
10 play properly for certain batters
1t is the same with infielders.
If the outfelder isn't on his toes
the pitcher may pitch properly but
a base hit has followed that other
wise would have been an easy catch.
Shifting defense Is an important
part OF the game; the defense that
rescues the pitcher more than once.
Take batters like Cy Williams and
Babe Ruth, who are dead right field
hitters. You have seen how the
outfelders and in0elders move
around for these fellows. There
are others. not so prominent, but
equally as important.
I have been saved more than once
by an outflelder catching a vicious
line drive because he is playing
where I am trying to force the
batter to hit,
This comes under the head Of IN
side baseball and probably is not
much known by the fan In the
grandstand or the bleachers.
Look how Bob OTarrell saved me
in closing the world series with the
Yankees. In the ninth inning, with
two out, the Yanks behind, So,
Ruth on first base. the Babe fooled
all OF Us by trying to steal second.
A remarkable throw by Bob O'Far-
rell stopped the Babe on a close
play.
But tor O'Farrell's great throw
Ruth would have put over that steal.
Maybe Meusel would have tied It
with a single, and who knows what
would have followed. Yes, a
pitcher needs assistance from the
other boys and they have given me
plenty OF it more than once.
l have heard a lot Of people criti-
cize Ruth for that play He took
a daring chance and although he
failed, thereby helping me over a
tough spot, it was daring baseball.
He looked bad, because he failed.
With Ruth on first. the Yanks
