THE LAST PITCHER known to have
thrown a spitball in major league park
was Harry Truman. That the spit ball was
an Illegal pitch specifically banned by the
baseball law, which prohibits the use of
foreign substances on the spheres bearing
the signatures Of Joe Cronin and Warren
Giles, made no difference to Mr.. Truman,
who usually made up his own ground rules
anyway.
The ambideXtrous Missourian, once en-
ployed at 1900 Pennsylvania avenue before
that singular Federal housing project was
partially converted first into practice golf
green and later into a bride path for
ponies, threw a splitter as his ceremonial
toss at the 1949 Griffith Stadium opener.
It was not a good pitch of any kind,
especially a splitter. 1t was so ineffective
that one of the Senators caught 1t easily
1t turned out to be one Of the only putouts
the player made all season, but on that
day he had perfect fielding average.
THE TRUMAN SPLITTER, wet up In front
of almost 10000 witnesses, became topic
Of post-game discussion among baseball
historians, who wanted to know when was
the last time anybody had moistened ball.
"That went out years ago." the late Clark
Griffith said But those fellows who threw
spitballs after the law was passed outlaw
ing 1t were allowed to spit out their natural
pitching lives"
From the talk In baseball locker rooms
today, either a lot Of pitchers haven't heard
about the rule prohibiting spitballs or
some of the oldtimers still are around
splitting out their natural lives"
How many pitcher are there in the
American League - 1902" Ron Kline
asked. "I1l say 10 per cent Of them throw
spitters." The Senator's mopup man often
has been accused of belonging TO the ma
jority. Rather than deny 1t, Kline, a truth
full soul, offers only diplomatic mo COM
ment"
ANY DISCUSSION OF THE unsanitary
but scientific art Of spitballing quickly re-
duces itself to q forum between the vets
and drys.
In this case the umpires are the prohibit
tionists, naturally. Like revenooers, the
jumps are on the alert for bootleggers.
This phase of their Job is excessively diff
ficult Since there is so little moisture
needed to make the splitter act, 1t can't be
detected on the ball. 80 how can we do
anything unless we actually see a guy wet
ting the ball?" Hank Soar asks with q
, logic usually foreign TO the urnpiring union.

The umpire responds only when the bat
ter thinks he has detected an unnatural
break on the ball" The spitball, when
behaving Illegally proper, has a quick,
downward flight like nothing you've ever
seen. Tom Cheney describes it as IAN off

like it,"

Soar adds, I'VE can only say that the
pitcher must have thrown the damnedest
slider or sinker we've ever SEEN"
Don thinner, new to the Senators but
not to the spitball argument, presents
formidable case in behalf Of Lew Burdette,
now with the Cardinals. Sure he throws
it," thinner says. Its the only pitch he's
got left that will get somebody out"
Burdette, by this time, is immune to the
charge, which has been leveled against him
for years. "Ill say one thing about Bur-
dette," said Kline, whose interest in the
legend Of the spitball is not an overnight
development, Lew is best equipped to
throw 1t. He's got wide-track teeth, and
when he vets one it looks like water COM
ing out of fountain"
