BT CHRISTY MATHEWSOX.
The Giants- Star Pitcher.
NEW YORK, May 19. (Special.)
Spitball pitchers are becoming scarcer
each season. In baseball this form of
delivery has been a sort of fad that
lacked stability, such as the dancing
craze, the bicycle hobby and so on
Many twlrlers who used to depend on
It have abandoned it altogether. Only
the most expert with the spitter still
continue to use it regularly.
Managers, in the past two or three
years have become prejudiced against
me use or the wet ball. There are
many reasons for this. In the first
place, a spitball pitcher tends to un
steady a team because the wet ball
leads to many errors, especially when
a. recruit pitcher is working, since he
generally thinks he must soak the ball
to get any results, and the fielder or
catcher, makinsr a throw, is apt to toss
the game awav on on niav
ficial scorer gives the author of the
wna inrow an error, but the pitcher
who wet the ball so profusely should
receive credit for the misplay.
Most catchers hate to handle spitball
pitchers. The delivery makes the ball
difficult to throw to the bases and the
control of the damp artist is usually
uncertain ana nara to receive. The ball
aiso takes many uncertain and unex
pected breaks, so that catchers fre
quently have their fingers split and
are forced out of the game for sev
eral weeks. There used to be a great
array of spitball pitchers on the New
xorn American Leasue team with Fish
er, Ford, Jack Quinn and the rest. The
result was that Sweeney, the most val
uable catcher to the club, was often
out of the game with a bad hand from
trying to receive these boys.
Chief Refuses to Receive.
Chief Meyers used to refuse to handle
"Bugs" Raymond when he was with the
Giants because he hates the spitter so.
McGraw would work Wilson, the sec
ond catcher, with Raymond almost reg
ularly, since Arthur did not object so
strongly to receiving "Bugs' " favorite
dish. The rest of the team would hate
10 see uayraond take the box. too. be
cause of the added difficulties in field
ing the wet ball. To 'Larry" Doyle it
was particularly objectionable, although
ne would always try to conceal his
reelings until he had made an error I
have frequently heard Doyle early in
at KiiTie snouting:
"Come on. Arthur. Get in there. Now,
you're working."
Then some one would hit one a.t "Lar
ry," and the ball would slip .out of his
hand, or he would make a wild toss,
and his honeyed tones to Raymond
would melt.
L,et in there. 'Bugs.' and do some
Pitching. Don't wet that ball so much.
ow no you expect us to field?" It was
no longer "Arthur." but "Bugs."
"I can't tell where the ball is trnin
to break," Meyers complained to Mc
Graw on the few occasions he caught
iiajmona. ne cloesn t know himself.
Managers Lone Eathulum.
.. . ... ..
vn ureoMi or tnese objections man
agers are not so keen any longer about
their scouts turning up spitball per
formers for them. The control of a
damp ball pitcher is hardly ever as sure
mat or a straightaway worker.
Then most of them have their good
days and their bad. None is very
steady. I have seen Raymond pitch a
marvelous game and three days later
" te urst oatter to face him and
pass the next, and not have any notion
where the ball was going. You will
find that the real stars of the game.
vitn lew exceptions, seldom use the
spitter. jonnson, 1 don t believe, has
pitched 25 since he has been in the
American League. Coombs, Bender,
Plank and the rest look on this form
of delivery with suspicion.
I am against it. since I believe
It hurts a pitcher's arm and short
ens the period in which he is good
for big league service. I have practi
cally never used the spitter since it
was invented, because I found it hurt
my arm after working on it as I have
done frequently in practice. Once in a
great while I used to try to cross up
Wagner by shooting one at him because
the impression got abroad somehow that
he did not like the spitball. Perhaps
this. was due to the fact that he could
never hit "Bugs" Raymond very con
sistently, but I believe Raymond's in
different manner in the box did more
to disturb Honus than his spitter.
Wagner could always connect with any
spitters that I was able to offer him.
,Many curve-ball pitchers will slip
In a spitter once in a while when the
count on the batter Is in their favor In
an effort to cross the hitter. The lat
ter does not expect it and sometimes
misses it a mtle if it breaks good. That
Is the great trouble with any man who
does not use it regularly, finds mon
keying with this style of delivery. He
is usually off his control.
IValnh'a Arm Is Weakened by Vse.
"Ed" Walsh, of course, is the big ex
pert with the spitball. and he wets the
horsehlde in only one small spot where
his first two fingers touch the ball.
Therefore, he does not make it so hard
for his catchers and his fielders to
handle the ball as do some of the
others who water-log it. He also has
excellent control of the ball an ex
ception in his case but I' believe its
constant use by him was partly re
sponsible for the weakening of his arm
last season. The peculiar twist given
the ball as it leaves the pltcheris hand
Is a severe strain on the arm.
Fisher, of the Yankees, used to be a
spitball expert and he got away with a
flying start in his first season, but he
found that he would have his good days
and his bad ones, like most of the users
of this style of delivery. He was also
receiving bad support. The wet ball
was hurting the fielding of his club
and the players behind htm used to
hate to see him go into the box to
pitch. Chance got after him last year
nj suggested that he work on his
curve and forget the spitter. Fisher
was too uncertain in his pitching to
take his regular turn in the box when
depending upon only his fast one and
spitter. He accepted Chance's advice,
as most of the ballplayers do. and this
Spring he has blossomed out minus his
spitball. He Is using only his curve
and speed. The result Is that he has
not turned In a single bad game to
date, although he has been beaten. He
Is steadier and more reliable than he
has ever been before. I ll gamble that
this would be the case with most spit
ball users if they would discard the
delivery.
"I'll never use the spitter regularly
again. Fisher told me recentlv. "1

Seattle - Sporting KUitor . 'Says He
Xeeds Xo Excuse for Coming.
Portus Baxter, sporting editor of the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer, is a Portland
visitor, with Mrs. Baxter. They will re
main over Sunday, returning north, tonight.
"I have no excuse for coming to Port
land, but I don't think anybody needs
an excuse, said the veteran writer.
"Some friends of mine were coming
here, and when they dared us to ac
company them, we jumped abroad train
nd-here we are.
Jennlngsites at close range. Regard
less of how the Jungle tribe may have
appeared to observers in other spots
along the pennant by-way, it can be
stated with emphasis that in New York
they put up an article of baseball that
outclassed the performance of any
other team that has tapped the me
tropolis.
Since the Chicago White Sox team is
the only outfit that has not invaded
the local American League stronghold
a yet (it begins its first series here
Monday), it is safe to rate the Tigers,
as they are playing now, right where
ine tigures place them at the top.
it Is true that Hughey Jennings has
not had a lead-pipe cinch in every
game since his club started the East
ern tour a week ago last Tuesday, but
it also is true that his men have made
a good fight of it on every occasion
seeming to battle hardest when their
backs were against the wall. They
also have had afternoons when the op
position was fairly torn into shreds by
ine torce ot their onslaught.
vv Incline up their series with the
Athletics today, the Tigers move on to
Washington Monday to begin, the last
series of this intersections! trip. It is
possiote tnat waiter Johnson may
stop them temporarily (he may even
pitch two games of the series, the first
and last), but the chances are that
they will get no worse than an even
DreaK in the capital and that they will
leave for home next Thursday with
tneir lead still intact.
e
The Tigers have. "shown" the East
in a number of respects. One thing
tney nave proved Is that Harry
Coveleskie. the big Pole and giant
filler of 1908, is no morning glory. The
big fellow has done real pitching on
this tour, and, added to' Dubuc and
uauss, rounds out a star twirling trio,
win Jviains. nail and Reynolds pro
viding a first-class second string. Of
ine two infield recruits. Kavanaue-h.
the second baseman, seems by far the
better a capable fielder, hard hitter
and fine base-unner. Burns is not so
impressive, and it would not be sur
prising to see Jennings put Del Gainer
DacK at first base, either making
rurns sit on the bench the rest of the
season or farming him out.
All this talk about the Giants being
uue tor a oaa Dealing By the Pirates in
the race for the National League pen
nant is beginning to grow fainter, now
that Johnny McGraw has his New
Yorkers playing the game of which
they are capable. The Pirates may win
the pennant, but they will have to play
better ball than they showed in the
series with the champions to accom
plish the feat. If McGraw can Just
keep his people going along at their
proper speed it would be nothing re
markable if the Giants sh'ould begin
to build up on,e of their old-fashioned
commanding leads along about the
middle of June, this depending on a
slump by the Pirates, which is liable
to happen when they hit the East next
month.
New York fans thought It hard luck
when the Giants got away to a slow
start That same slow start is likely
to prove a blessing In disguise. The
psychology of baseball is a peculiar
thing. When a team has been playing
bad baseball and suddenly climbs back
into form, it generally is set for a
spell of playing better than its right
ful grade.
The Giants may keep up delivering
a topnotch article clear to the end of
July before a slump of any proportions
sets In. whereas the Pirates may drop

down Into a rut and fail to win much
more than half their games for the
next two or three weeks. Such a co
incidence of events would mean that,
by the end of July, McGraw's men may
be eight or ten full frames ahead of
Fred Clarke's minions. But then, of
course, this condition may be reversed
The Phillies have stayed up near the
leaders about long enough now and
are due for a big drop. If you should
hear a dull, sickening thud within the
next few weeks you will know that It
is the echo of the Impact as the shot-to-pieces
Quakers touch bottom. They
don't figure to be up there where they
have been.
Fifth or sixth place is the best that
can be allotted to a team without any
shortstop.
Charley Dooin surely is hard put to it
when he has to experiment with a
couple of outfielders at shortfleld
Dodge Paskert and Sherwood Magee
after Murphy and Irelan have proved
dismal failures. A move is on to get
the Phillies a shortstop, giving in re
turn one of the extra outfielders Josh
Devore or Beals Becker,
If this transaction goes .through as
per schedule, the Phillies will loom up
formidably for third or fourth place.
But as the team stands now, it is as
certain as anything can be that the
Giants and Pirates will lead the
Quakers by a safe margin and that
Brooklyn and the Cubs will land ahead
of them.
