GOOD CURVE BALL PITCHERS
Joe McGinnity Says Liveliness of Ball
Has Nothing te Do With
Effectiveness of Hurler.
A gentleman who surely can qualify
as an expert says the trouble Is not
with the make of the present day

Ginnity, once side partner to Christy
Mathewson. ~
“Pitchers nowadays don’t know how
to fool ‘em any more,” says the old
timer of the Glants,
“It doesn't make any difference
whether the ball is lively or dead. If
the pitcher can keep the batter from
taking a fair and square orack at the
ball the result will be a pop-up or a
strike out, A curve ball will do that:
but the supply of good curve bal
pitchers is small, -
“The last World's series showed
that the liveliness of the ball has
nothing te do with the case. There
were some good hurlers In that series,
and there was a dearth of hitting,
Those fellows knew how to fool the
hitters with curves”
