New Generation of Spitball Flingers Break Out
Walsh Proves Wet Fling Doesn’t Shorten Career
By Damon Runyon.
A NuTHER generation of spitball
A pitchers has suddenly arisen
in the big leagues to take
the place of any who have gone, or
maj’ be going. The fresh crop
looks as formidable as the oftk and
new reputations are likely to be
made on the strength of the damp
sling in 1912.
Some managers are not particu
larly. partial to the spitballers, but
they are willing to have a good one
around if they can get him. The
talk of legislation against the de
livery has practically died out, and
it has long since come to be recog
nized as an institution in the game.
The.' are developing spitballers
now, Just as they develop curve
ball .pitchers.
.Manager MqGiaw, of the Giants,
is one of the successful club lead
ers who is supposed tn be rather
opposed to the wet delivery, and
yet he went to further lengths
with a. spitball tosser than he ever
did with any other man again, sim
ply because he recognized his
greatness ns a pitcher, and his.
value in winning games for the
New York club. This was’ "Bugs"
Raymond, the erratic Chicagoan,
who McGraw declares has the
greatest natural pitching grace of
Any heaver he has ever seen. Ray
mond relied almost entirely on th
spitti'r.
Raymond Great Wet Flinger.
With’ his ability, Raymond should
’have achieved the fame and for
tune of any pitcher ever in the
game—and his ability consisted of
a superb mastery of the spitter.
McGraw now has another spht
bafi pitcher and a star in Charley
Tft'greau, the Giant who is ranked
. with Matln u son and Marquarcl.
Until he mastered the spitball Tes •

reau was not much of a pitcher.
H» was signed by McGraw when
he was with Shreveport, in the
Texas league, largely on his size.
Then he was turned over to To
ronto, in the International league.
He was apparently unable to get
any "stuff" on his fast ball, and he
had no durve when McGraw first
took hold of him, out he com
menced picking up the spitball de
livery, and McGraw encouraged
him in that, as he saw little hope
for him with the other slants. To

“Buckey" .O'Brien. th« Boston
Red Sox pitcher, who promises tn
lie a sensation, uses the spithall
freely, although it is said that half
the time he merely bluffs at it,
masking his mouth with bis glove
before he pitches, as a matter of
habit more than anything else.
Connie Mack recognizes the value
of the spitball by hanging on to
"t'y" Morgan. Claude Hendrix, a
Pittsburg youngster, is regarded as
one of the coming stars of the.
game, and he uses a spitter. Be
fore he acquired that delivery,
however, he was not considered of
big league class.
Mai-C O'Toole, the $22.500 beauty
purchased by Pittsburg last sea
son, is a Spitball heaver. Hi.- value

on account of his bad arm is no

Pittsburg fans. They consider him

one of the greatest of them all;
