There's just one thing I'm
trying to show this little fellow
about pitching. And that is to
deliver all his pitches with the
same motion. That, to my
mind, is the most important
pitching stunt next to control.
Notice how he's holding the
ball. Up to the very moment he
lets the ball go. he can make
his pitch a curve, a fast one,
or a change of pace and the
batter won't have any idea of
what is coming. If he lets the
ball go off the tip of his fingers,
with tight grip, it will be a
fast ball. If he looSens his grip
at the time the ball is let go
and pushes rather than hurls
the ball it becomes a change of
pace. And if he twists his wrist
at the time of delivery letting
the ball go off the side of his
fingers instead of the ends, it
becomes a curve ball.
I had pretty fair luck in the
recent world SerieS-and the
whole secret was control and
ability to cover up each pitch.
There's another important thing
about pitching. too, and that is
learning to ease up when you
get a chance and thereby keep
something in reserve for the
The Washington times., 1931-04-22

time when you're in trouble.
can't give any rule for that.
however. A fellow just has to
learn from practice and base
ball experience.
I used to marvel at Urban
Shocker and Jack Quinn. These
two fellows more than any
pitchers I ever saw, had the
secret of taking it easy when
they had a chance. Neither of
them had a lot on the ball.
But they were wise old owls out
there on the mound. They had
control and they knew all the
time just what they were trying
to do.
If I had to give young
pitcher the most important
pitching advice in two words, it
would be, Get control" Tile
best curve ball in the world
isn't worth a nickel if you can't
put it where you want it. And
on the other hand, if you have
perfect control you don't need
to have a lot of stuff on the ball.
A change of pace, good con-
troll, and curve ball that will
do as a threat now and then is
about all any pitcher needs -
and of all these control is the
most important.
