Nov. I. Jams Fletch of the Milwaukee team of the American Association, discovered the 'spit ball' while a member of the Los Angeles club of the Coast league in 1902. But Chesbro was one of the first and probably the most successful of the major league twirlers to use it. "Stricklett's discovery was quite accidental.

It occurred one morning while the team was practicing at Riverside, before the opening of the league season. Stricklett happened to moisten his fingers and send up a slow ball. Ha noticed the peculiar break it took and set about developing his find. The result is the 'spit ball." "I was a member of the Los Angeles team at the time and learned the trick from Stricklett, though I did not master the ball during the season of 1902. Last spring I again attempted to gain control of the ball.
