PAY OF OLD TIMERS
In these days when scores of
players are receiving more than
$0,000 a season It is refreshing
to look back somo 40 years to the
day when Old Hoss Rndbourno
signed his first major lenguo
contract for $750.
lladbourno was unquestion
ably the greatest pitcher of his
time. It was he who developed
the curve ball that Mack Munn,
Arthur Cummlngs, Jim Devlin
and other pitchers had experi
mented with. It was ho who
first utilized a chnnge of pace,
and who originated the Idea of
walking a heavy hitter to tuko
a chance with u lighter one.
BETTER GAMES WITH
MOIST BALL BARRED
Pitcher Quinn Says Fielders
Won't Heave So Wild.
Yankee Fllngcr Takes Banishment of
Spltball Philosophically, but Is
Afraid There Will Bo Too
Much Hitting.
.Tnck Quinn, Yankee pitcher, takes n
view of tho banishment of the spit ball
which Is essentially thnt of a spit ball
pitcher. He doesn't mourn lis passing
for any effect It may have on him.
Ho says he will be a good pitcher
without It. which Is the proper spirit,
but he thinks the fans will got too
much hitting without it. His point Is
that the gurnet nt present nro Just
about right and such scores as 8 to 2
which will be more frequent ur -r tho
now rules, will send fans oi ' tho
parks before tho game Is over
Quinn Is right In one way, says n
writer In the Ituffnlo Courier. A pro
fusion of runs Is not wanted by tho
fans. Xop nro onesided games. There's
no dlssntlsfnetlnn with scores ns they
are nnd no demand for any marked
Increase In batting. Rut tho fan does
object to pitching by other than nat
ural means, hence his hostility to the
spit ball, shine ball, emery ball, thumb
ball nnd .ill the hybrid Ilk.
For esthetic reasons. If for no other,
the spit ball should hnve been
thrown Into the ash henp, but there's
still nnother benellt Its snutllng out
will bring. The game will bo better
olt because the fielding will be cleaner
and numerous long drawn out gnmes
will be missing. There will be tunny
loss wild throws with no slippery ball
to throw. Every Intlelder In the big
leagues will rejoice when the time
conies that the specter of getting hold
of n saliva ball and Hinging It over a
bnscnian's head no longer torments
him.
