I'D SLADE was husky 20-year-old farm
IL boy that day in 1899 when he set the
baseball world on its ear by shutting out
Cleveland with two hits while striking out
eleven.
Sixteen years later he was still husky and
still youthful: he had fewer freckles. but
he had quite few other possessions:
hotel-restaurant in Florida. a nice little
bank account. and Ginny.
He had met Ginny three years ago -
coincidentally, the winter after winding up
his career. Maybe that was more than
coincidence; baseball had been so impor-
tant to Ed that it had kept him from getting
serious about women.
Once he met Ginny he wasted no time.
After a West Indies honeymoon they came
back to buy the Half-Moon - now Ed
SHADES Half-Moon.
They gave it a good going-over with
repairs and modern conveniences and
installed showcase with some of Eds
memorabilia in it - his old uniform, cap
and spikes. the ball he had pitched for the
last out in the l947 All-Star game, and
big picture of his wind-up
Ed Slade had discovered the Half-Moon
back in his playing days. 1t was only 20
miles from where the Gray Sox trained.
Since retiring he had gone over to the Sox'
camp every spring to work out with the
gang.
The end of Eds career had come rather
abruptly; the result Of sore arm that had
ruined his fast ball. His spring sessions
with the Sox helped make up for certain
nostalgia, and he always kind Of hated to
see the team pack up and head north with
out him.
This spring it was little different. The
Sox management had launched a big youth
movement, selling off the veterans and
bringing up replacements from the farms.
In fact, Sam Whitney, the catcher, was
about the only regular left from the old days.
Ed WAS pitching batting practice when
funny thing happened. A bit Of tape over
a scratch on his thumb had worked loose
and he accidentally got little adhesive
on his fngertip. His next pitch took
funny dip down and in; the batter swung
and missed it.
At first Ed couldn't figure out what had
happened, but a few pitches later the ball
did II again. ''Hey. invented a new pitch,
he said to himself 1t struck him as pretty
funny.
Just then his eye fell on the stumpy,
staggering figure Of Barney Powers, COM
ing out to signal the end Of batting practice.
Barney, who knew every trick in the book,

Ed didn't mention the 200 games to
Ginny. He just told her Barney Powers
wanted him to help the Sox this year and
he thought he'd take shot at it. She said
sure, anything Ed wanted to do was OK.
with her,.
Just before breaking camp to head north,
Barney talked to him about the pitch.
Barney had nicknamed it ''the sneaker"
''You don't cover it up quite enough"
he said. These umpires down here aren't
looking for anything, but up in the league
they'll be sharper: know what | mean?''
Eds brow furrowed a little, but he nodded
his big head slowly. In the end they decided
that the loose piece of adhesive had to be
stuck inside the heel of Eds glove. There
he could brush it with his middle finger as
he raised his hands in the stretch.
Nobody on the team knew about the
sneaker except Sam Whitney, who of course
had to catch it. We'll only use it when
we get in spot Barney told him. You
won't have to throw il more than once to
any one batter"
HE Gray Sox opened on the road, and
Ed got his first call in Washington. There
were Senators on first and second with one
out, and after getting strike and two balls,
he came in with the sneaker. II dipped per-
fectly, and the batter topped it straight
back to the box, where Ed turned it into
an easy double play
When the club got home he felt great.
He couldn't wait to pitch before the home
town crowd. He got two chances right
away and set Detroit and Cleveland down
in the late innings both times. Against
Cleveland, the Sox only won it in the last
Of the ninth, so he got credit for the victory.
Number one-ninety eight, - he was saying
to himself as he trudeed to the clubhouse.
He should be able to win several with
this team. he thought. These kids were full
of fight. Half of them were under twenty
five: one, Center Fielder Johnny Earring
ton, was just twcnty-One. Fresh and cocky,
he was daring on the field He crashed out
field walls, dived headlong on the grass and
made catches you didn't believe possible.
That was pretty much the story on the
whole team - they made mistakes, but
doubled up for them by never quitting.
The night Of the Cleveland win Ed and
Ginny decided to celebrate. By chance
they walked into Barney Powers favorite
restaurant. Barney was standing at the bar
and promptly invited them to join him for
dinner
Out of his uniform Barney looked as if

There was a certain amount of surprised
skepticism among the sportswriters over
the announcement that Ed Slade was COM
ing back. One columnist whose piece Ed
read made a shrewd comment:
ED Slade hung up quite record during
his career - four times league leader in
strikeouts, three times in earned runs, 1877
won and IA lost for club that wasn't
always first-division. But it was no secret
that Ed had set himself the goal Of 200
victories, which would have put him in
