QUINN STARTS
10th SEASON

PHILADELPHIA, April 15.-H)-
Down at Fort Myers, Fla, training
ground for the Athletics, Old Jack
Quinn, one of the last of the fast
disappearing race of spit-ball pitch
ers, is beginning his fifth year with
the Mackmen and his twentieth in
the majors.
Somewhere in his forties Quinn is
already in good shape, having
trained for two weeks at Hot
Spings, Ark, before going south. He
attributes his success to hard work.
He was a breaker boy in the coal
mines near Pottsville, Pa, before
he took up basketball and a strong
err physique has carried him through
many years on the bail field.
Eager for the season to begin,
Quinn declares he will continue to
pitch until they take my uniform
away"
There's only a few Of us still in
the game" he said. RED Faber of
Chicago and myself r the only
two spit-ballers left in the American
league. I believe Grimes Of New
York and Mitchell of the Cardinals
are the only ones in the National.
urban Shocker died last year
and Bill Doak and Stanley Covel-
eskie have retired, so there are only
a few remaining but we still man
age to get by and fool the batters,
when the baseball powers ruled
out the spit-ball seven years ago
1 think they had in mind to legls-
late only against trick pitching. I
have always contended that few
batters were ever hurt by spit-ball
pitching. 1t was the curve ball
hurlers with their freak pitches who
did the damage.
"I see nothing mysterious about
the splitter. Just take a baseball,
moisten it a little on the side near
the thumb and let the ball slip in
ward or away from you as you
throw, depending on where you
want to 60. That's all there IS to
It,"
