FROM UNCLE NICK
Chapman Seeks More Snap
and ControI-WhitehiII

BY JOHN b. KELLER.


NILOXI. Miss, March g.
X A little more on his curve
ball and Ray Prim would
- be a very handy pitcher
for the Nationals to have
around this year, Manager Joe
Cronin believes.
It's not that the pilot doesn't
think pretty well of Ray already
That extra inning game the
southpaW stabbed against the
Athletics in the 1888 season
final convinced Cronin that
Prim has a world of pitching
stuff.
But the field general of the Ameri-
can League champions believes that
Prim carefully coached in the art
of huking a curve, would become
highly valuable as>et to a club already
blessed with flock of fine fingers.
It takes a left-hander to show a
left-hander. the base ball wise ccn-
tend, SO Prim now is the special
charge of Nick Altrock, who in his
palmy days with the White SoX In
the early years of the American
League left-handed with the best OF
'em.
Nick Imparts Own Tricks.
MICK has been charged with in
~ structing Prim in the knack OF
getting the kind of twist on the
ball that Will make a batter wonder
whether he'd better PULL away from
the plate or leave it to the umpire.
Nick threw those kind when he helped
chuck the White SCX hitless wonders
of 1906 to the league title and world
championship
Another thing Nick is supposed to
impart to Prim is pitching motion
calculated to prevent ambitious run
ners taking a healthy lead of first
base. Such a motion is highly es-
sential TO the success OF mounds
man. Nick had one of the finest IN
his chucking career. If any one can
show Prlm what to dc, Nick locks the
man.
Another young pitcher in whom
Washington club officials are partic-
ularly interested is Ed Chapman, who
did not do so much for the Nationals
after he came to them from Rochester
last season, but did that little &C
ceptably.
