STARS WHO DEMONSTRATED SPIT BALL CAN controls DELIVERY

Detroit Fllnger Can Serve Curves,
Fast and Slow Ball# With Three
Distinct Motions.
Jean Dubuc of the Detroit Tigers
attributes his success as an American
League pitcher to the fact that he can
deliver his curves, his slow ball and
his fast ball with three different mo-
tions, and have control of the ball by
his motion.
"Years ago, when I was pitching
with Notre Dame college, I learned
that speed without control was value-
less. 1 always had pretty fair control
of my delivery, but with the acquired
knowledge I began perfecting different
deliveries and control of the ball in
each," says Jean.
"It took years of patient effort to
acquire the delivery 1 now have, but I
believe it is one of the least trying on |
the arm and shoulder muscles for the
reason that I put the weight of my
body behind the pitches and do not
depend on the strength of my arm to
send up a fast ball
"I worked with my slow ball for
three months before I could get a
curve to it, and after that it took me
three years to perfect the delivery." i
Dubuc declares that his delivery
would be an ideal one for a kft-hand-
er, inasmuch as hitting such a ball
from a left-handed pitcher would be
much harder. The ball would come
up to the batter on an entirely new
angle, and Jean insists that the best
batters in the major leagues would be
puzzled.
Various persons have been given
credit for developing Dubuc, and
among those honored is Hugh Jen-
nings. Hughey, however, declares that
Dubuc aloue is responsible.
"Jean is one of those players who
never wastes a moment," says Jen-
nings
"When he is on the bench and an-
other man is pitching, the Frenchman
is always figuring what he would
throw the batter. What is more valu-
able, he makes his comments aloud,
and the young pitchers on the club
can gain valuable hints by listening
to the sensation of 1912."
"Jeff" Tesreau of New York Giants.
Many pitchers must thank Chesbro
and Ed Walsh for the fact that they
are in fast company today. These two
great stars were the first to demon-
strate that the spit ball was to be de-
pended upon. Since that time scores
of Cwirlers have sprung up who have
been effective as spittera but who
Walsh practically won the world'*
championship for the White Sox in
1906 through his spitball delivery.
Prior to that time he had been a
bench warmer. Only his great speed
had kept him on the pay roll. The
faot that he might amount to some

HEAD A MASS OF PIMPLES
Hyattsville, Md.—"My little boy was
taken with an itching on the scalp
There was an ashy place on his head
about the size of a ten-cent piece, and
the hair was falling from this place
by the roots. In about ten days all
over his head were these ashy spots
which looked like ringworm, but were
porous-like. The itching and burning
made him scratch a great deal. His
head had gotten so that it was Just a
mass of mattery little pimples all
heaped on each other, and when I took
off his night-cap, the hair and flesh
came off at the same time. I really
thought ho would lose his whole scalp.
He couldn't sleep for five weeks, it
would itch and burn until I thought
he would go into convulsions.
"I used different soaps and salves
to no satisfaction Then I decided to
use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
Finally I noticed he began to sleep all
night. I used one cake of Cuticura
Soap and one box of Cuticura Oint-
ment and he was entirely cured. He
has a better growth of hair now than
he had at first." (Signed) Mrs. Ida

couraged his trying the spitt
Then batters began to holler about
the delivery. They held that it wasn't
real baseball—that it should be legis-
lated out of the game. Those mag-
nates who didn't have a spitball pitch-
er on their staff joined in the anti-
movement. You see there were only
a scattering few in those days—you
could have counted them on the fin-
gers of one hand. <
Nine-tenths of the fans shook their
heads and said it was a freak delivery
that would soon die out. It's an ac-
tual fact that Owner Charles Murphy
was one of those opposed to the de-
livery.
Look at the Cubs today. They have
lavender and Cheney, both leading
spitball throwers. Murphy was con
vinced especially after he saw the
great performances of Ed Walsh, king
of them all. Now all of the magnates
and managers are on the outlook for
a star 3pitball artist. Even McGraw,
of the Giants, is well pleased over the
new-fangled style, especially since he
added Jeff Tesreau to his staff.
It has been claimed only big, mas-
sive fellows can use this kind of de-
livery. Walsh, with his power and
weight, was given three years and
then "back to the minors for him
They argued that his system would
not stand the strain any longer.
Even Reulbach, for years a leader
In the National league, is beginning
to try out the spitball, because he
knews his days as a curve ball throw-
er are numbered. That old snap of his
arm Is slowly but surely telling on
him. He has watched Walsh's career
with interest, noted that Ed pitches
with an easy movement, and has come
to the conclusion It isn't all bunk after
all.

great hitter has been whaling the ball

"When very young I began using
Doffee and continued up to tho last six
months," writes a Texas girl.
"I had been exceedingly nervous,
thin and very sallow. After quitting
coffee and drinking Postum about a
month my nervousness disappeared
and has never returned. This is the
more remarkable as I am a primary
teacher and have kept right on with
my work.
"My complexion now is clear and
rosy, my skin soft and smooth. As a
good complexion was something I had
greatly desired, I feel amply repaid
even though this were the only benefit
derived from drinking Postum.
"Before beginning its use I had suf-
fered greatly from Indigestion and
headache; these troubles are now un-
known.
"I changed from rofTee to Postum
without the slightest inconveni"nce,
did not even have a headache. Have

not drinking coffee."
