curve-ball pitching is illusion and delusion.
The chief purveyors of this delusion are
radio broadcasters and sports writers, who
devote billions of words to pleasing nonsense
about 'hooks" and "sliders" and "sinkers"
and 'knucklers" and ''roundhouse" curves.
One magazine recently had a major article on
the momentous question of legalizing the spit
ball. The pitcher spits on the ball. holds the
wet side with two fingers, and fires away.
This pitch was outlawed years ago, ostensibly
on the grounds that it is unfair to the batter
It is unfair to the batter. 1t performs no
miracles in the air, but it is very likely to
MAIN the batter or the catcher or the lady in
the box back of third base. When the slippery
ball is fired nobody knows where it is going
least of all the pitcher. 1t is fairly effective
Evening star., 1951-02-18

because the batter is terrified and cannot
coordinate.
So what there is in baseball is set of
pitchers trying to fool the batter with imagi-
nary curves. And every day we see ST ,00O-a-
game hurlers batted to all parts of the county.
The most absurd of the lot is the fatuous per-
former who is wild" Trying to fool the
batter by cutting the corners, he inevitably
throws bad balls. When he gets three against
him, he usually puts over cripple" The
ball goes over the fence, and the pitcher goes
to the showers.
Who Fooled Whom?
A LONG time ago the great Walter Johnson
faced the great Babe Ruth. johnson threw
low balls at him. Twice Ruth struck out, so
violently that he sat down on the plate. Came
the ninth, with Washington leading l to 0.
New York got man on base. johnson de-
cided to fool Ruth with fast one down the
middle. Ruth hit it over the center-feld
fence, across the street, and through the front
door of house. Rube Waddell, in ex-
hibition games, would sometimes wave
his outfelders in to the bench, then
strike out the opposition with low balls.
Of course, pitcher must have fair control
to get low balls over the plate. But he does
not need anything like the control required
for the futile efforts to cut corners and throw
curves. Any bench-warming outfelder with
good arm could 60 to the mound and win
games now lost by high priced pitchers.
Turn on your radio any afternoon this
summer and listen to the attractive romancing
of those engaging personalities, such as Mel
Allen or Red Barber, who describe so pic
turesquely the imaginary hooks and sliders
and screw balls hit over the grandstand.

was surprise to all of us. The

We hear it said that men such as Williams or
DiMaggio "can hit anything" This is an ex-
aggeration. Most of their hits are off cripples.
Pitches around their knees are almost beyond
their abilities Off knee-high balls Kiner or
Williams might "golf" three home runs a season.
Evening star., 1951-02-18

Baseball rules stipulate that pitch over
the plate between shoulder and knee is a
strike. This is not scientific regulation 1t
is forced on the rule makers by the conforma-
ton of the body. The only anatomical limits
for the strike zone are the shoulders and knees.
All any pitcher needs to do is throw
at the batter's knees. As long as he
gets the ball over, he will rarely be
scored on.
But what have we? There is first the curve
ball delusion. Here we have a vast business
enterprise operating on the basis of illusion.
1t is question whether pitcher can curve
ball at all. In 1941 Life Magazine" took
pictures of pitches by one of the great curve
ball pitchers" of all time, Carl Hubbell The
pictures showed that all the pitches were
straight; no curves. In 1949, Look" got into
the argument with pictures purporting to
prove that ball does curve While Johnny
Schmitz's curve ball appeared to curve
slightly the pictures showed that his straight
fast ball" did also.
Baseballs, hit violently with dragging
motion, will curve somewhat in three or four
hundred feet. But it has never been demon
strated scientifically that baseball thrown
by hand distance of so feet can be curved in
any material degree
It's All Illusion
EVEN if we assume that curve may be
produced, the actual curve is negligible, in
sufficient to reduce the batter's ability to
hit the ball. The best pitchers are those
with speed, change of pace and control.
Overland pitches, dropping with gravity,
and side-arm pitches, coming in at an
angle, do appear to the batter sometimes
as curves with some minor effect of decep-
ton. Over all, however, the whole notion of

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-The
model of a modern major general,
like Caesars wife, must be above
suspicion, particularly when he is
military aide to the President.
What with congressional COM
mittees investigating on a basis
of guilt by association, Maj. Gen.
Harry H. Vaughan has taken ex-
treme precautions that he can't
be accused even on the basis of
contamination by subscription.
It was learned exclusively yes
terday that the Presidents mill
tary aide for months had been en-
during war of nerves into which
he finally hurled the might of the
White House Secret Service.
The essence of the plot Is that
anonymous persons were putting
the generals name on the sub
scription lists of magazines that
he doesn't want to read.
The Reporter-a New York
magazine with no particular polit-
ical orientation-appeared in the

Down With Hirohito'
Signs Greet Emperor
BY the Assoeiated Press

OTSU, Japan, Nov. 15.-Com-
munist posters screaming, Down
with Hirohito," blossomed on the
walls of this ancient Japanese
capital six hours before the
Emperor was due on an inspection
trip.
Horrifled residents ripped down
the posters and scrubbed the walls,
The city was, neat and clean when
the Emperor many Japanese re-
gard as a god arrived at noon.
Strong cordons of police guarded
every intersection.
The posters, which threatened
a second incident on the imperial
tour, were signed by the Otsu
chapter of the Communist Party.
They read:
Down with Hirohito-squander-
ing 130 million yen ($360, ,O00) of
the peoples money on this mean
ingless trip"
The first incident, when crowd
OF Kyoto University students sur
rounded the Emperor's car and
sang the Communist "Interna-
tionale." had further repercus-
sions in Parliament today.
Education Minister Sadasuke
Amano made a deep apology. He
concluded:
II will do the necessary"
A few years ago "the necessary"
would have been hara-kiri. Now
it may mean resignation from the
cabinet.

AForeign PoIicyfor Americans
U. N. Criticized on Failure to Protect the Peace;
Giving Away Of U. S. Wealth DepIored
Bv Senator Roher%
By Senator Robert A. Taft

with other nations was based on
the principle that this policy
was the best way to avoid dis
putes with other nations and to
maintain the liberty of this
country without war.
From the days of George
Washington that has been the
policy of the United States. It
has never been isolationism; but
it has always avoided alliances
and interference in foreign
quarrels as a preventive against
possible war. and it has always
opposed any commitment by the
United States, in advance, to
take any military action outside
Of our territory.
I have always felt, however,
that we should depart from this
principle if we could set up an
effective international organiza-
ton, because in the long run
the success of such an organiza-
ton should be the most effec-
tive assurance of world peace
and. therefore, of American
peace. I regretted that We did
not join the League of Nations.
We have now taken the lead
in establishing the United Ma
tions. The purpose is to estab-
lish a rule of law throughout the
world and protect the people of
the United States by furnishing
aggression the moment it starts
and deterring future aggression
through joint action of the
