They knew how to pitch, that
gang, and they had the control IT
takes to pitch, too. 1t was from
them that l learned the real fact
about big-league pitching which,
stated simply, is just this; 1t isn't
the amount of stuff you have but
the way you use it which makes the
great pitcher.
When I broke into the big leagues
I was, like most youngsters. My
idea of control was simply getting
the ball over the plate, and l was
kept so busy doing that that l didn't
have a chance to think about bat
ters' weaknesses. When finally /
got so l could get that ball over
whenever l wished, l remarked to
Chief Bender that at last l had CON
troll.
The Chief laughed at Me.
Control" he said, us some
thing more than getting the ball
over the plate. Any Outfielder
can do that. Pitching control
means putting that ball within
an inch or two Of a given spot.
Until you can hit a six-inch tar
get nine times out OF ten from
pitching distance you haven't
got control"
SO far as l know there's just
one way of getting control and
that's through constant practice.
Watch veteran pitcher and a
youngster warm up before game.
The youngster, you will notice,
just throws. The veteran always
pitches TO a mark. In all the years
! was in the big leagues l never
once warmed up that l didn't pick
a certain target and throw at It,.
Perhaps it was one of the letters on
the CatCher's shirt. Perhaps it was
one of his knees, or his head, or his
shOulder-but | always had a target.
A pitcher must always be careful
not to give away his pitch. OcCa-
siOnally { pitcher comes along with
so much stuff that he can disclose
his pitch and stiIl fool the hitter.
Herbie Pennock's overland curve is
like that. You can tell every time
Herbie is going to throw that over
hand hook" but it breaks SO wide
and so suddenly that it still fools
the hitter. But that's unusual.
A lot Of pitchers have little
peculiaritieS in pitching that tip
off their stuff. Babe Ruth for
instance used to stick his tongue
out every time he threw a
curve.
Batters around the league knew
it-and the result was that Babes
curve was never very effective. The
veteran Red Fa her for years gave
away his spit ball in a funny way.
Red. you know, bluffs splitter on
every pitch. but the hitters soon
learned that he kept his mouth
closed on the bluff throw and open.
ed his mouth wide each time before
he really threw the splitter.
Paul Zahniser used TO raise his
hands high above his head for his
fast ball and only forehead high for
his curve. There were lot OF
other illustrations, too, but these H.
luStrate the point.
Concealng the pitch isn't easy
and most Young pitchers when they
first come into the league have a
tough time doing it. But like con-
troll. it's one OF the things that
you've got to work on until you
whip 1t. Otherwise you won't do
for big league company.

ing to advance the ball from there

left when they menaCed the G. u.
goal. In the waning minutes OF
the game he deliberately gave them
safety and then booted the ball
out on their 12-yard line, making
the victory safe for his team, since
the Violets never were able to bring
the ball into scoring territory again.
That history will repeat itself
in such a manner this year in their
game Saturday is decidedly un-
likely, but Captain Mooney certainly
is prepared to unleash another
great punting exhibition. He has
brought himself along carefully this
year and is booting the ball plenty
high and far away. In fact, it will
not be surprising IL he doesn't
average better than so yards-some
Hilltop admirers think it will be
nearer 60-in Saturdays encounter.

There are few hooters In the
country who can match Mooney
in kicking. 1t is almost safe to
say that he will gain 10 to 20
yards on every exchange of

Of GeOrgetOwn's chief weapons

The Tomato Tariff

The hearing on the tomato tariff by the ways and
means committee Of the house, scheduled for January
"a. will be Of great Importance TO the winter tomato
industry Of the Lower Rio Grande Valley. Florida and
the Gulf Coast tomato growers will have delegations
in Washington 70 appear before the committee, and
the Valley. which is one Of the principal tomato grow
..r sections Of the South, also should have represen-
tAtion.
Several years ago Florida created a tariff commits
sion for the purpose Of investigating tariff rates and
their relation to Florida products. This commission
has made a thorough survey Of the tomato industry
the effects Of Mexican and other production and has
suggested a tariff rate which would practically elimi
nate foreign shipments. They assert that Florida and
the Lower Rio Grande Valley could, IL given full meas
ure Of protection. produce tomatoes sufficient 70 sup
ply the demand during January and February. the
months Mexican producers are requesting elimination
Of the tariff.
Between the Valley and Florida there Is complete
accord as to the necessity Of rates which will assure
ample protection for tomato growers. The Florida
tariff commission has suggested a rate Of approximate
" 5 cents per pound. and proponents Of this rate as
sert that it will promote mid-wintcr production upon
a mere extensive scale, and that so far as the consumer
IA concerned it will make no appreciate difference in
the price. Under the present tariff Mexican tomatoes
come into competition with Florida and Valley prod
uets. and as the former are produced At a lower cost
than Is possible in the United States, where land and
labor are more expensive. there is no incentive for
American growers to engage in this production upon a
more extensive scale.
The Florida commission also davocates an increase
II the tariff rates upon green beans. peppers. tomatoes
cabbage and ether vegetables which are shipped into
the United States in competition with the domestic
production, and every interest Of the Lower Rio Grande
Valley should be in full accord with that program.
