The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1931-11-16

Between seven and eight hundred
workers, men, women and children,
crowded Ambassador Hall to the
doors on Friday, to give and hear the
testimony of the Bronx unemployed.
Bronx officials of government and
charity organizations had been in
vited to attend this meeting and to
give answers if they could to the I'M
employed. But not one such official
dared to, come and hear the public
testimony offered at the meeting.
About dozen workers testified
and several children. Many more in
the crowd wished to testify against
the emergency employment commit
tee, the charities, the association for
improving the conditions for the
poor, landlords and city officials. but
time did not permit.
All the testimony was danning eW-
dence against the city charity and
city government.
Mother of III Testifies.
A widow, mother of IL children, in
answer to the questions asked, stated
that she received from the charities
fifteen dollars per week, out of which
she is expected to buy food, pay for
rent, gas and light, and clothing for
eleven children and herself. OF
course it cannot be done and she had
been sending her children to the
stores to beg for bread, milk and
potatoes to help along. All the chill
dren with her were in rags and wear
ing torn sneakers which offered no
protection whatever against the cold
or wet. The charities advised her to
put her children in an institute and
to go to work. This shs does not
want to do but she fears that she
will be forced to it. At the same time
she declared that she believed it
would be impossible to find work
when SO many are out of work.
A Negro woman Of So years of age
stated that she had paid her last
money for the rent which is twelve
dollars per month and had not had
any food in the house for several
days having had to give every cent
for the rent. She said she was will
ing to do laundry work or any kind
of house work but that because of
her age it was hard to get anything
to do. She was in despair. ct is
true" she said, that I am an old
woman but I don't want to starve
and am willing to work"
A number of workers brought their
dispossess notices with them. Sew
eral brought registration cards to
show that they had registered with
the emergency relief committee but
had not yet received any jobs. One
Negro worker told Of staying up all
night for several days in order not
to lose his place on the line.
All Appealed to Charities.
All the workers said that they had
appealed either to the charities or to
the Association for improving the
conditions Of the poor and in every
case they had been told that nothing
could be done for them. A newspaper
reporter asked to have the following
statement made at this public hear
ing: that Mrs. Lyle, head Of the A. I.

In a tight game he must sac
rifice motion and take his
chances with a shorter delivery
There is no set style which
must be followed. One pitcher
gets his best results one way, and
another is effective by a different
move in the windup. Some box
men are clumsey in their windup,
and yet are successful. I think
Herb Pennock has about as easy
and graceful a delivery as I ever
saw. Some like to turn their
body away from the batter before
pitching. as Bob Shawkey did.
Big Jim Weaver, of our club,

+ boy wrote me recently to ask
if a pitching motion meant any
thing to the pitcher. Then he ex.
planned that he usually did lot
of arm waving and body twist
ing before delivering the ball to
the plate, but was not having
much success. He added that a
boy on another team had no such
motion, and he was considered
quite a pitcher in his set.
He was doubling the value OF
the wi: up, and he asked me
to tell him. That gave me the
idea for this instruction.
BY all means cultivate a wind
up, or a preliminary motion. be-
fore delivering a ball to the bat
ter. One particular boy may get
along fairly we'll without much OF
a motion but that is because he
has greater speed, or a better
curve. then the other boys he
plays against, or with. But a
pitcher won't get far unless he
goes through certain advance mo-
tions.,

Giants Do Better
After a slump which brought
them nine defeats in II games.
the Giants did an about face
and won six out of seven during
the week, regaining second place
in the National League scramble
and advancing to within three
games of the Cardinals.
The Cards and Cubs won
four out of seven, while the
Braves and Reds each cOpped
four out of six starts.
Cleveland nicked Mcdonald and
Shores for IL hits and turned
back the Athletics, 6 to 4. A
wild heave by Jimmy Foxx with
the Eases full let in Cleveland's
final two runs. Clint Brown
gained the distinction of being
the first Indian pitcher to beat
the Mackmen this, season.
SOrrell Beats Gomez
Detroit and the White Sox,
both of whom failed to win a
game last week, started the new
week with victories. Vic Sorrell
of the Tigers won a to 2 duel

Loosened Muscles

1t is simply a question of going
through the motion which natu-
rally gets the muscles loosened up
and prepares the body for the
follow through without putting
any undue strain on any muscle.
Develop your own windup. Go
through, the motion quite relaxed
and put on the pressure just be-
fore you let the ball go. If you
stood out there on the plate and
simply threw the ball you would
not fool many batters. nor would
you get any real stuff on the ball.
A Windup very often keeps the
batter guessing as to where the
ball is coming from. as pitchers

The Braves were outhit by a six
to five margin but won the game,
3 to /, by punching their blows.
Hack Wilson'S fifth home run of
the season accounted for Chi
cago's only tally.
Reds Lose
Twenty-Six thousand fans, lured
to Redland Field by Cincinnati's
winning spirit, saw the Reds lose
to the Giants in the ninth when
Aliens hit gave the McGrawmen
3 to 2 edge.
Morrell outpitched Frey while
LindStrom had a perfect day at
bat with four hits. A scheduled
second game was called off on &C
count of rain.
Two pitching cast-offs, Joe
Shaute and Jack Quinn, collabo-
rated pitching Brooklyn to a 6 to
3 win over Pittsburgh. Shaute
turned in his sixth win on the
campaign but had to be aided by
Quinn.

More Stuff on Ball

He keeps the ball carefully con-
cealed from the batter. the idea
being not to show it until he is
about ready to throw The up
ward swing loosens the shoulder
and back muscles and gets them
ready for the part they must
play. All the while keep the ball
concealed from view of the batter
1t is generally agreed that a
pitcher can get more stuff on the
ball when he goes through a
windup. Of course he must elm
mate a big part of this motion
when a runner is on the bases.
Otherwise. the runner will jog
along to the next base during
the Windup. Often, in the late
inning of a ball game you will
notice a pitcher go through the
long motion when his team is
far ahead, even though a runner
is on base. That is because he
is concentrating on the hitter
and willing to let the other fel-
low run while he is putting every
thing on the ball he pitches.
The Washington times., 1931-06-15
Natural Wind Up

The one thing to remember is
that the wind up must be nat
ural, and it must not be the kind
to throw you off balance at any
time. A free and easy motion
loosens the muscles, gets your
bodily prepared for the work which
it must do as you let go of the
ball, and adds power to the throw.
Too much winding up, with the
idea of confusing the batter, IS
foolish. Instead of affecting the
batter it generally spoils the et-
fectiveness of the pitcher.
In the photograph you see the
pitcher at the top of his stretch.
Note that he is not tense. First
he puts his arms out in front
of him, fully extended to loosen
up the muscles as he starts his
windup.
