IT IS the first half of the ninth
inning, the score is tied, the bases
filled and two men ore out.
The mannger of the team in the
field sends in a relief pitcher. After
throwing three balls to the batsman,
the pitcher, by n snop throws to first,
catches the rimer napping, retiring
the side. v
In the last half of the ninth Inning
the home team fills the bases with
two out and It Is the pitcher's turn
to bat. The manager of the home
team dcridca to send In a pinch
hitter. The manager of the teom In the
field protests sgainst the removal of
the pitcher, insisting that he must
remnin in the game until he has
pitched to one halter who is either
retired or reaehea first base. This he
has not done.
What should the umpTre have done
in thia situation?
Answer
The rules state that when a relief
pitcher is sent into the game he
must pitch until one batter has either
been retireif or reaches first.
In this particular case the pitcher
did not do this. After pitching three
bslls to the bailer, he accomplished
his purpose, the retiring of the side,
by catching the runner napping at
first bae.
Major league umpires are agreed
that If such a pla should come up in
the big leagues, they will permit the
substitution of a pinch batter if the

a rhnnse.

pEW major league pltchera have two
good years in succeasion.
It ia an accepted truth in baseball
that a pitching atar slumps .after
big aeason. '
In 1022 Ed Rommel of the Philadel
phia Athletics we the twirling sen
sation of the Americas League. With
a seventh-place dub he won 27 games,
most remarkable performance.
The following seaien, with a better
ciuo tnat consideraoiy improved ita
percentage, jtommei tell one game
hy of getting an even break. Last
season he won only three more games
than he lost.
Two ao-so years, after his extra
ordinary pitching in 1022, were not
cauaed by loss of stuff. Rommel had
his usual assortment ot speed and
curves but just couldn't win consist
ently. He simply didn't get the
breaks.
Thia season with the Athletics out
in front, riding high on- the creat of
popularity, Rommsjl appeara all set
for year that will outdo his. 1922
performance.
Perfect Pitching Poise
There is no more interesting pitcher
to watch in the American League
than Ed Rommel. Ho boasts a pitch-
ipg repertoire that includes just about
everything and, in addition, be has
the perfect poise.
Rommel's pltchiiig Is almost machine-like
He uses a smooth, easy
delivery and throws the fast one, the
curve or the slow hall with exactly the
aame motion. He ia grace person
ified. Since the advent of the lively ball,
pitchera hove experimented with all
kinds of deliveries in an effort to
curtail hitting. Perhaps no style hss
been more widely exploited in the last
five or six years than the knuckle
ball. Rommel ia a past master In
delivering It. '
Without a doubt, Rommel boaats
the best knuckle ball in either major
league. Aa a matter of fact, it is
more a finger-nail ball with Rommel
than a "knuckler."
Romraer freak "knuckler' is a most
difficult ball to, catch. It is an ex
tremely hard ball to judge because
it seldom takes exactly the same

trenk. It has a tendency therefore
ta make a catcher look badly, because
it la not unusual for htm to drop

Kr tickle Ball Effective '
Cy Perkins of the Athletics, one of
the game's; greatest catchers, tells me
that his main thought is to break tho
ball down rather than catch it. With
runners on the bases in a position to
steal. It is almost foolhardy to use the
knuckle ball, because of the difficulty
experienced by the catcher holding it.
Rommel has food Bpeed, thougn
not of the Dnxzy Vance type. He has
a cofking good curve. His slow ball
is of the best but his greatest weapon
the knuckle hall. .Properly .con
trolled, it ia almost unhjtable. -
In his great Vd'sl season Rommel
worked the knuckier overtime. Real
ising its great effectiveness it caused
a majority of the pitchers to experi
ment with it. It is now a part of
the pitching repertoire of nearly ev
ery big lenguer. However, there is
ust one Ed Rommel style. ,
Rommel snys ho will surely win 20
ball games this year. Connie .Mack i
is inclined to think it will be 25 or
more.
