There Are But Two Kinds
Of STANDARD Pitches.


(a) The fast ball.
(b) The curve.
The fast ball is the natural pitch
you lay back and throw the ball
straight past the hitter, with the
motion that comes most naturally
to you. 1t is so natural that the
ball players call it No. /. The curve
ball, logically, is No. 2, and most
pitchers refer to it as No. 2 rather
than as "hook" or curve"
The curve ball comes off your
fingers in such a way that it breaks
to the opposite side. A right-hand-
ed pitchers curve ball breaks away
from a right-handed batter. A
southpaw's curve breaks away from
left-handed batter. This explains
the very natural and incontrovert-
ible fact-which seems to battle so
many baseball fans-that a man
ager always likes to have right
handed pitcher pitching to right
handed batter and vice versa, when
all other things are equal.
just imagine yourself batting
against a fellow whose curve ball
breaks down and away from you.
Then think of yourself squaring off
against pitcher whose curve comes
in. You will murder the latter if
you have your eyesight. The for
mer always will be troublesome, no
matter how sharp and smart hit
ter you are.
HurIer With Variation
About One in 100.
All right, then, those are the
standard pitches, and no amount
of inside baseball, no cunning trick
deliveries, ever will offset the fast
ball thrown by big, strong guy
and the curve ball which breaks
away.
After that come the variations,
pitcher like Mathewson or Carl
Hubbell-a man who can control
curve that breaks in and make
practical use of it, whether it be
called the ''fadeaway" or the screw
ball" Remember those are the ex-
ceptions, the once-in-a-generation
pitchers. Don't be fooled into think
ing that an ''incurve" is anybody's
pitch. Ninety-nine times in hun
dred good, experienced pitchers can
not master it, Ninety-nine times in
a hundred the real pitcher is the
one who throws a fast ball and
curve that curves-out, and down.
What I've been saying is A, B, c
TO the major Lacquer, but the eager
kid is deceived and hoodwinked by
pages of claptrap about special"
pitches. That is the fault of John
j. McGraw and his devious contem-
poraries. The sooner we forget all
about such stuff the better it will
be for the common understanding
Of baseball.

Fascinating Mumbo- Jumbo
In Old BoseboII Books.

They fostered the idea that there
were shortcuts to baseball success.
I remember a book about baseball
which was ghost-written for Christy
Mathewson, entitled won in the
Ninth" At the back of the book
they had Photographic plates of
Matty's pitching hand, gripping the
ball for different sorts of deliveries.
Your correspondent was fascinated
by this mumbo- Jumbo, and it took
him 20 years to learn, from hard
experience with big league pitchers,
Just what pitching is.
In other words, McGraw and
Matty, with their patter about
stranger and sinister types of pitch
ing, set back the public's knowledge
Of the game by roughly 20 years.
It's a mistake to be pontiflcal
about anything so complicated as
professional baseball Therefore,
when I set down the following
fundamental rules of pitching, as
they were given to me, with various
accompanying cuss words, by three
dozen big league pitchers, remem-
ber that there are minor exceptions

From the

Present-Doy Pitching
Mystery Cleared
BY JOHN LARDNER,


NEW YORK, May 20 (N.AN.A).
"A fellow comes up to me and says:
'Define all these different kinds of
pitches that pitchers are throwing.
What does 'sinker' mean? What
does it mean when a ball breaks up?
What is an incurve? And what is
double -shoot?"
The answer is very simple, but
1t destroys whole school of
thought about pitching-a school of
thought which is completely phoney.
and which hourished in the days
Of John j. McGraw, under the
name of inside baseball.
McGraw was smart enough to
realize that kids all over the coun-
try were trying to think about base
ball in his own terms. His view of
the game involved psychology and
military strategy-but you had to
be 80 years in baseball to make
the sort of decisions that McGraw
made, and kids didn't want to wait
80 years, so McGraw and his con-
temporaries fed them a type of
psbulum called inside baseball, with
the help of national heroes like
Christy MatheWSOn.

was believed the accident occurred
shortly after 9 o'clock last night as
