Show DAY OF SLOWBALL TWIRLER Pitcher Who Hasn't Unusual Speed Has No More Chance in American League Organization. Jimmy Burke has something to say about American league pitching that is worth passing on. Declares the pep pery one: "The day of the slowball pitcher has passed. I don't care who he is, or what he has, a flinger who hasn't unusual speed has no chance in the American league any more. Absolutely Abso-lutely the only ball that can get by in this circuit is a fast one with cayenne whiskers, whatever they are. An assortment as-sortment of curves and floaters is all right to make variety, but a fast ball is the de luxe requirement these days." |
