PACE EICHT HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, ORECON WEDNESDAY, APRIL 28, 1948 WHY PITCHERS GET SORE ARMS Coach Cy Perkins Of Phillies Says Lively Ball And Slider Cause Injuries AP Newsfeatures PHILADELPHIA Coach Cy Per klm believes he ha the answer to moat of the sore arms in major league baseball. The man who caught more than 1700 games In IS years with the Philadelphia Athletics blames much of the pitchers' arm troubles on the lively ball and the slider. "The trouble with the pitchers today begins with their fear of the batters," says Perkins. "Any time you get a chance to visit a big league park during hitting practice Just watch what happens to any three batters. "Usually they take three swings each. That's a total of nine swings. You'll find most of the time that only three out of nine balls hit in practice go for what we call base hits. "During spring training at Clear water the Cardinals were taking their pre-game licks. One of the batters drove a line drive back at a Cardinal coach who was 'bitching batting practice. The drive nicked the peak of his cap and turned the peak around to the side of his head. A few inches and the coach who was pitching would have been hit in the eye. "That's Just an example of how the lively ball can impair a pitch er's morale." Perkins is not advocating return of the ball used years ago but he would ltke to see pitchers work a lot harder on their control. "Years ago, I'll admit, the ball was deader but the pitchers prac ticed control." says the usually silent Cy. Today they practice knucklers and sliders. "In my opinion the slider is the most harmful pitch ever to come into baseball It's an unnatural pitch. "For years every hitter, with few exceptions, has been worried about a hook. If the young pitchers today would spend as much time on a good curve ball than the effort they put into a slider they'd have nothing to worry about. "You never hear anyone say 'What a great slider he has.' but you will hear them rave about a pitcher's curve ball or his fast ball. "The slider looks to me as if it's thrown with an elbow twist. That's where all your operations are. There's absolutely no percentage to the pitch at all." Perkins believes that Ed Rom mel, an American league umpire since 1938, and Kmll iDutehl Leon ard. 17-game winner for the Phils last year, are two of the few pitch ers who ever perfected the knuckle ball delivery. "Too many kids are trying It today and that's another reason for so many operations," claims Cy. "Some arms hi the old days? Why the only time we ever heard of a sore arm was when come darn fool told a rookie pitcher to sleep with his arm in the Pullman hammock, you know, that little cradle that's supposed to hold your personal effects. "Here's an example of what a pitcher lacking proper control does to the team's morale. Suppose you're playing shortstop and I'm pitching and I have three balls and one strike on the batter. Why, the shortstop gets the Jitters and pretty soon it catches the whole infield. "But it a pitcher has his control and gets two strikes and a ball on a batter you watch how the short stop and the rest of the team perk up. The main thing Is to get that ball over the plate. Most bat ters don't hit safely once In three times they hit the ball, anyway. The pcrcentttito Is on the pitcher's side but most of them know It. "Those who do know It, fear the lively ball because it comes back at you like a shot out of a cannon." Perkins, born In Gloucester. Mass., 53 years ago has either caught or hit against some of the game's top pitchers, ltke Lefty Grove, Herb Pennock, George Earnshaw, Lefty Gomes, Red Ruffing, Joe Bush, Ur ban Shocker, Walte Hoyt and Bob Shawkey. During his career he caught well over 3000 games yet he has fingers like a pianist. Eurnshaw Is teaching the young Phllhe pitchers how to pitch and Perkins is showing the young catchers how to catch, with out breaking their fingers. But when Cy Isn't catching he's observing what the pitchers are doing and the deliveries they're fooling with. "If they'd only get wise to the percentages there'd be a lot less sore arms." he concludes. Western Mail HBag ' Little Jap Could Move In A Terrific Hurry By Rl'SS KEWLAND SAN FRANCISCO, April 28 tP This Olympic year serves to call attention to some remarkable man-made speed performances of another generation. The AAU official record book lists records recognized by the Inter national Amateur Athletic federation but there is no mention of a S35 seconds hundred yards run by Minoru Fujii of Japan in 1902. The late Tom Andrews of Milwaukee. Wis., whose books settle many arguments In the early part of this century, lists the feats of the swift Japanese. In his 1910 compilation, Andrews refers to it as follows: "100 yards 9 25 seconds. Minoru Fuji! at Tokyo university. Japan, November 14, 1902, on the grass. Sworn to by officials of Tokyo university." Stop watches are split into tenth-seconds now. The world's record for 100 yards is 9.4 seconds, set by Frank Wykoff In 1930 and equalled by Jesse Owens and Clyde Jeffrey a five and ten years later respectively and by Mel Patton of USC last year. According to a record book 38 years old, the Japanese ran it in similar time before any of the listed holders were born. Has this unheard of sprinter been denied his Just due all these years?? There seems little doubt Pujti could get over the ground in a hurry. Andrews' book also notes he was timed in 10.24 for 100 meters (109.3 yards), the Olympic sprint distance. This too would have been a world's record. The official mark now is 10.2 seconds by Jesse Owens, 1936, and by Harold Davis, 1941. Short pickups: Catcher Ed Shar key of the Pittsburg.

Salary Of $4305 Set For Football Coach Bob Hendershott, newly-appointed football coach at Klamath Union high, will be paid at least $4305 for his activity during the next school year and Paul McCall, who will take over basketball head coach chores, will get at least $4000. Base pay for Hendershott, figured on a scale which takes into consid eration education and teaching ex perience, is $3600. and he will re ceive an extra (705 for serving as football coach. McCall s base pay is (3400 and the basketball-coaching stipend has been raised to (600. Wayne Scott, Mc Call's predecessor as cage boss, got (450 over his base pay for basketball. However, since basketball is grow ing longer in season and actually consumes more of a coach's time than does football, the pay was In creased for next year. If either Hendershott or McCall take on other athletic assignments such as coaching a minor sport or assisting In a major one they will receive an additional fee for that. No assistants to either coach has been named yet and there is still one physical education post at KU to be filled the one being vacated by Wayne Scott. An outside man prob ably will be hired for that job and also to handle an asslsuntship in either football or basketball.

He doubled home Nick Palica In the first and scored in the third on Gene Gavlgllo's single. John Conant came up with the night's best mound effort, hurling five-hit ball as Bremerton dumped Salem in their series opener. Three Salem pitchers gave up a total of nine base blows. Victoria's hard-hitting Outfield ers Archie Wilson and Lou Kublak combined efforts to drive In 10 of Spokane. Wilson's home runs In the fifth and sixth innings brought in four tallies.

April 28 0PThe weather and Calumet farm's ram paging cyclones, Citation and Coal town, provided most of the Ken tucky Derby discussion today as pre-race Indications pointed to one of the smallest fields for the classic since Its Inaugural in 1875. Calumet's mighty pair already has managed to scare off all but the bravest of the 1948 three-year-olds, and even some of these doubtful starters were praying for a muddy track Saturday afternoon. The muddy track Idea is based on the theory that It would slow up Citation and Coaltown sufficiently to give the others some chance of grabbing the major share of the (100.000 derby swag. At the moment It looks like a six or seven-horse field, one of the smallest In more than 30 years. Wenatchee 5 Spokane 6 Bremerton 3 Victoria 4 Tuesday's Results Tacoma 17, Yakima 6.
