I've gone up there myself lots of
times and struck out when 1 couldn't
see that the ball broke an inch.
But when / get to thinking about
1t know that ever pitch was made
bad enough that | couldn't get hold
of it, yet good enough that if ]
passed 1t up it would be called a
strike. And that's what call real
pitching.
All the great pitchers pitch that
kind of ball. Pennock is a wizard
at it. Alexander makes control take
the place OF quick-breaking curves
and fast ones. So does Ted Lyons,
or Larry Benton or any Of the other
great ones
Don't misunderstood me. Those
fellows all have plenty of stuff,
They have corking curves and good
fast ones with it. But the point is
this. As long az they're not in a
hole they can make control take
the place of lot of stuff, and
then when they do have to bear
down they have the strength in
their arm I, make their curve and
fast one worth while.
And don't forget this. When they
get in hole they have confidence,
for they know they have control.
and they, can come in there with
that ball whenever they want to-.
They don't have to worry about
wild pitching every time they put
something on the ball

OF course he has something

hitters are right. What they
mean is that his curve ball may
not be breaking a foot, and his
