IS ITS MYSTERY. Pitching is the keystone of baseball. When it loosens 'tho structure crumbles. "Beside the vastneas of the importance of this position, the dash of Infield and outfield fade," says F. C.

Lane, in the Baseball Magazine. The improvement in baseball has marked time with the development of pitching. As the batter overtook the pitcher, new methodg were But in sixty years, only four types 'of pitching have been born, namely: Speed, the curve, the slow ball and tho spttball. Speed, the earliest type, still rules When curves are being hit, 99 out of 100 pitchers fall back upon speed, because it is easily controlled. In a class by himself as a speed pitcher is Walter Johnson.

His speed is dazzling. He revels in it. Speed and control make him the world's greatest pitcher. Others have speed; but use it less freely. Contrary opinion, apeed is not wearing, "because is is the natural delivery, while the curve, alow ball and spitter are acquired.

The arm was designed to propel small missies at great speed, not to throw curves. Strength and nervous energy, in abundance are necessary to great speed, but its use demands only a normal expenditure of both. It is a fact that men who depend chiefly upon speed outlive other plfchors in usefulness. The curve revolutionized baseball and more than doubled efficiency of the pitcher. Many consider it their best card.

Of the great boxmen, only Walsh. Johnson and Falkenberg ignore the curve. The successful curve "breaks" Sharply just in front of The "roundhouse" curve, easily followed by the eye, is worthless. The curve is delivered to either side of the plate, "breakinf." over, or directly at' the plate, "breaking" to either side. The batter is foolod into letting an appar ently wide ball slip over for a strike; or into striking at an apparently good ball, which curves out of reach.

The slow ball is the mystery of baseball. It is regarded with suspicion even by its- masters, who call themselves lucky when it is not hit to the fencjo. Even when speed andf curves are being hit, the average pitcher resorts to more speed, neglecting the slow ball. developed the slow ball to its greatest efficiency in 1906, when, his speed and curves having lost their edge, he developed the -fadeaway and gained a new Iea3e on life. Jean Dubuc, the Detroit slow ball wizard, says the ball is so effective, be-' cause batters do not expect it.

They are set for curve or fast ball and the floater catches them unawares. Chesbro introduced the spitball to 'the major leagues, but "Ed Walsh immortalized it." He showed- its possibilities. No delivery is so baffling. Walsh delivered the ball waist high and it broke below the batter's knees. No batter can follow the erratic course of the spitter, hence its effectiveness.
