2 WHY PITCHERS NEED

that time managers on all the
ffa!n* ■■■•■■"I to work
their pitchers often, no it wan
even all along. More recent
managers have discovered that
the pitcher's arm Is dead the
next day after he has pitched,
some one started the Idea of
employing s«veiat pitchers and
giving H long rest between
games. That forced all oT'the
managers to do the same to
compete successfully with the
team with several pitchers.
If I try to pitch the day fol-
lowing a game In which 1 have
worked I find that my speed Is
apparently just ns great, 1 can
curve the ball, and 1 have good
control, but they Invariably hit
me. Something is missing. No
ono knows just what, least of
all the pitcher. We all know
what electricity will do, but we
never saw it. it fs the same
with the pitcher. Something
is missing. We don't know
what it Is. Wo express it by
saying, -'He didn't have any-
thing on the ball.
