as a boy. He required three or four years to get the curve ball working. He then perfected it until he could break the curve where he wanted to.
 Cummings had to pitch with one foot just inside the front line of the box, the other inside the rear line. The ball had to be delivered below the waist, so the arm had to be swung perpendicularly The pitching distance was 45 feet, which made his feat more difficult. He admitted he had to fool the umpire to curve the bail.
 KNEW ABOUT PITCHING
 Asked how he would pitch to Babe Ruth, Old-Timer Cummings said the first pitch would be raise curve close to his hands. Then a high out curve that would start close to the plate Next ball that would start two feet outside the plate and curve in and crop to the knees on the inside of the plate.
 T would change the program each time he faced me-" asserted Candy Cummings. I'd change the speed of each pail. A free swinger like Ruth goes after ball that looks good, but you won't fool him often on the same ball. I'd start the ball the same way every time, but make it go another way"
 They knew something about pitch ing that far back.

 The travellers made wager among themselves, and when the train stopped three sticks were set up, and McGraw won $5 by throw ing ball that curved in and out among them.
 From the Star Amateur club of Brooklyn, Cummings went into the National Association, predecessor of the National league, when it was organized in TO, and finished up in the National league in '78.
