Show mportant That Hurlers Have Well Trained Logs ritchers must have good legs. They need them as much, if not more, than infielders and outfielders. If the pitcher's legs are not properly trained he cannot pitch his best. The fact that many pitchers weaken toward the close of a game can in most cases be traced to legs improperly improp-erly trained or not trained at all. That is plausible. A man cannot pitch good ball when his underpinning is weary. Pitchers do mere work than the other players combined. The pitcher is the only man on the field who is continuously in netii.n. The pitcher, if he trained his lees properly and made it a point to develop de-velop speed, could win a few tames himself by base running. A number of ames are lost eeeh year because the pitcher is helpless when on th- bases. |
