Stricklett Credits Corridon
With Originating Spitball
Former Brooklyn Pitcher
Says He Learned Trick
From Springfield Man
By Ray McCarthy
In the good old days of baseball
the pitchers depended wholly on their
natural abilities to win games. The
arm, the head or a mixture of the
two were the only means used to cut
down batters. To-day, however, pitch?
ers use a hundred and one devices to
fool the sluggers. .
These methods consist of spitting on
the ball, shining it, chewing It, mud
ding the scams, cutting the leather,
nicking it and putting talcum powder
and other substances on the hide. The
practice has reached such a stage that
the magnates will probably vote to
abolish all freak deliveries at their
next meeting.
Deliveries other than the ordinary
originated with the spltball, several
pitchers having been credited with in?
venting the spitter. It is generally be?
lieved that Jack Chesbro, former
twirler of the New York Yankees, was
the original spitball pitcher, although
Elmer Stricklett is said to have been
the first to use the moist ball regu?
larly.
However, investigation on the part
of F. J. Collins, sporting editor of
"The Springfield Republican," has dis?
closed the faet that Frank Corridon, of
Springfield, Mass, was the inventor of
the spitball. Corridon, while playing
with the Providence Grays of the old
Eastern League, in 1901, noticed while
??itching a wet ball in practice (it be
ng a rainy day) that the sphere took
a queer break just before it reached
the catcher.
i He began to study and experiment
with a moist ball until he found that
h? could control the broak by getting
I a proper grip on the leather. Strick?
lett. according to his own admission,
! noticed Conv/'on throwing it and de?
veloping the new delivery for his own
use.
Btr'.cklett, while pitching for the
Brooklyn Dodgers, was interviewed by
a Boston writer, who had this to say
j in his story:
I "The man who discovered the ?pit
ball seldom u??fl It, and the credit of
the diacovry ha*? ejone to another. Ask
the average baseball player who die
covered the spitball and he will tell you
that Elmer Stricklett was the man.
When the Brooklyn team was here re?
cently Stricklett was asked:
"'How did you come to discover the
spitball, Mr. Stricklett?'
'"By watching another man throw
it,' was the reply.
"'But you are given the credit for
discovering the spitball,' persisted the
writer.
"'I know I am, but it is wrong. The
man who discovered the spitball was
Frank Corridon. I saw him throwing
it in practice, and I immediately set
about to master it. After I had got
the ball down fine Jack Chesbro saw
j me pitching it at Columbus, Ohio, and
| he took it up. Just why Corridon never
I uses the ball I don't know, unless he
fears the effect on his arm.'"
After Chesbro got hold of the new
moist-ball delivery he had considerable
success with it while with the Yankees.
His best year was 1904, in which he
won forty-ono contests and lost twelve.
Big Ed Walsh also won most of his
fumo by the ability to use the moist
ball. Stricklett taught Big Ed how to
uso the delivery while the two were
with the White Sox in 1904.
The spitter was the forerunner of the
othrr frenk deliveries. From it devel?
oped the emery-ball, the shineball and
other deliveries. Russell Ford, also a
former pitcher for the Yankees, is gen?
erally credited with having discovered
the ornery while playing with Atlanta
of the Southern Association. Ford used
the delivery for a long timo before
others discovered it.
If the club owners vote to abolish
freak deliveries only those pitchers
now in the National and American
leagues who are recognired as legiti?
mate spitball pitchers will bo allowed
to continue. To curb them would be
to do them an injustice, it is believed,
inasmuch as they have accustomed
themselves to this new delivery, which
cannot be changed overnight. Pitchers
coming into the league will not bo
allowed to use the spitball or other
freak deliveries nor will those who
use the spitter only occasionally be
allowed to continue.
Clcotte is the most noted of Ameri?
can Logue spitbnll pitcher?. c>:
cotte's is more the shineball, ?na
*.lnce he has beon with the White Sox
he ha? enjoyed wonderful success with
this delivery. Eller !? probab'y the
most frequent user of the shineball in
the National League, and, like Cicotte,
he has been able to win the majority
of his games by this nu^hod.

Tennis Proves

Students at Leading Colleges
Show Increased Interest
in Game, Says Myrick
By Fred Hawthorne
Julian S. Myrick, vice-president of
the United States Lawn Tennis Asso?
ciation and one of the men most prom?
inently identified with the development
of tennis among the juniors, in this
country, believes that the beneficial re?
sults of that propaganda work are al?
ready to be seen.
Yesterday, in reviewing the lawn ten?
nis year of 1919, Mr. Myrick outlined
the growth of the game among the
, schools and colleges as follows:
"The most striking proof of the gen
at Havan
Two OneJnning
Baseball Records
Hard to Surpass
Here are two records recalled by
a baseball statistician some time
ago:
In a game between Chicago and
Detroit years ago, with the bases
filled and Sam Crawford at Bat, Ed
Walsh was sent to the mound. He
pitched one ball and "Wahoo ?Sam"
slammed it over the fence for, a
home run. .Four runs scored off a
pitcher on one pitched ball la hard
to beat.
In 1910, at Portsmouth, Ohio,' a
relief pitcher was pat In with
two men on bases. He pitched one
ball, and the batsman hit into a
triple play. Thus the twirler se?
cured credit for pitching an entire
inning when he only delivered a s?l?
ita rj' heave.
MdLLOtty
eral interest in tennis is the attention
being given the game in the colleges.
O. course, the great comeback which
tennis enjoyed after the war was a
tribute to the real worth of the game,
and in this quickening of popular in?
terest tho visit of the Australians was
an important factor. But in the minds
of those" who are following the tenden?
cies of the sport most keenly the sig?
nificant activity was in the colleges.
Increased Interest Shown
"This was manifest in many ways.
At Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia,
to name some of the more important
universities in the East, there was a
spontaneous effort on the part of the
undergraduates to gain from tho au?
thorities in charge of athletics in?
creased recognition of the merit of
tennis as n snort. The entry lists in
their tournaments show how keen many
undergraduates nre for the game. That
this feeling is not locnl was seen in
the fact that Ohio State University,
for instance, arranged a big interecho
lastic tournament, and in indiana and
other universities of the Middle West
play increased notably.
"Along with this activity of the col?
leges was a similar movement in some
of tho important preparatory schools,
so I think it ?3 fair-to say that the
promotion of tournament piny among
juniors and boys is bearing fruit in tho
schools and colleges.
"That brings up the point which is
of fundamental importanco in consider?
ing this whole question, and which
Bomotimes Is overloked, namely, that
of all tho sports which appeal to those
of school and college age tennis is the
only one that can be learned early in
i
life and kept up for many years. Base?
ball, track, football, rowing?all these
have their place, but at best that place
is limited by considerations of time
and opportunity.
"No matter how good an athlete may
be in college, in the vast majority of
cases his chance to enjoy such sports
ends with his graduation. The average
man can count on the fingers of one
hand the men in his acquaintance, five
years out of college, who take any
active part in such games.
Kumagae's Partner Dead
Little Hachshiro Mikami, the double?
partner of Ichiya Kumagae, of Japan,
when the latter made his first trip to
the United States in 1916, made friends
in this country from coast to coast,
Mr fine sportsmanship and modesty of
bearing being traits that were univer
saly admired. In a recent letter ad?
dressed to the U. S. N. L. T. A., Mr.
Myrick wrote concerning the player
who died last month in the Philip?
pines:
"I think all of us who had the pleas?
ure of meeting Mikami while he was
in this country admired him for bis
fin.? character and sportsmanship, and
he will certainly be missed, as we had
hoped to have him visit us again be?
fore many years passed by."

?hj C/ ?GRANTL.AND RICE
(Copyriiht. 1920. New Tort Tribune Inc.)
Great Britain has been considering
her amateur championship golf prob?
lem for some time.
The idea has been to abolish luck
as much as possible, but no one can
ever do this in any championship.
The American championship system,
calling for 86 holes qualifying round
and 86 holes at match play, is a much
fairer test than the old British system
of 18 holes at match play, but even
the American system will never be able
to prevent a series of upsets.
It is much better to have the amateur
championship decided at match play,
yet the only way to eliminate most
of the breaks of luck is at medal play
over the 72-hole route.
Sadden Turns
In 1909 Bob Gardner won the ama
j teur championship. In 1910, through
a bad break in luck, he even failed to
I qualify.
In 1913 Travers came within half
; a breath of not qualifying at all. Yet
i he won the championship.
At Pittsburgh last August, Oswald
? Kirkby failed to qualify. Yet, a short
; while later, in the Lesley Cup matches,
! he beat Dave Herron, the champion,
I 5 and 4.
Ouimet turned in a 73 and a 78
j against Chick Evans. Against Woody
j Platt he turned in two rounds above
?85.
j In 1915, at Detroit, Travers, with
an 80 and 81, won his first match by
the margin of 14 and 13.
That same (Jay, Evans, with a 76
and an approximate 78, was beaten 6
and 5.
The Match Play Test
The weakness of a match-play test,
so far as a championship goes, rests
in this fact:
A first-class, golfer may be slightly
off his game one day or encounter a
break or two in bad luck and run up
against an inferior golfer who, for
that one day, is shooting well ahead
of his normal speed.
Ouimet and Evans arc two of the
greatest amateurs this country has
ever produced. Yet between them, out
of fourteen attempts, they have won
but two amateur championships.
Evans has been beaten in these cham
?ionships by Egan, Fownes, Herreshoff,
ravers, Anderson, Byers, Sawyer and
Ouimet.
Ouimet has been beaten by Travers,
Standieh and Platt, failing to qualify
at his first start.
Travers, among others, has been
beaten by Travis, Hilton, Ouimet,
Marston and Waldo.
None of these players could afford
an off-day and survive with any con
sistency. Bad luck In one round might
easily upset any golfer, but this is all
part of the game.
The Best System
There is no way to eliminate the
fortunes of the draw and the breaks
in luck at match play, but the Ameri?
can system of 36 holes for a test
comes nearer to the solution than any?
thing else.
Since match play will always con?
trol an amateur championship, there
is no improvement in sight beyond
the method adopted by the U. S. G.
A. something like a decade ago.
In the way of match and medal
play, most golfers dread the latter
test. They would rather play against
one man. day by day, than to play
against the entire field.
Among the amateurs, in recent years,
Travers was the best of the match
players; Evans the king c*f the medal
players and Ouimet the best man at
facing the combination. Yet the com?
plete proof that all three were high
ranking champions is to be found in
the fact that all three won both medal
and match play championships.
The Luck of the Draw
The luck of the draw is a big part
of the amateur championship. In the
recent championship this break at first
was against Dave Herron and then
later in his favor.
He was drawn in the same half
with Evans and Ouimet. This was
nothing to cheer over. Yet Herron
was not called upon to meet either.
Ouimet removed Evans and Platt re?
moved Ouimet.
In 1915 Bob Gardner was drawn in
I the same half with Evans and Trav
! ers. Gardner seemed to be in a rough
sector with these two ahead. Yet he
had to meet neither, as Ned Sawyer
i accounted for Evans and Max Marston
j dropped Travers. Gardner then pro
j eeeded to stop Sawyer and Marston.
This turn doesn't often happen. In
1918 Travers had Ouimet in the way,
but Evans, in the other half of the
draw, was beaten by Johnny Anderson
in the semi-final round.
By next summer there will be so
many high-grade amateurs with ex?
perience that no star will feel safe
in any match. Outside of Evans and
Ouimet and Bobby Jones and Dave
Herron, there are at least sixteen ama?
teur golfers in America, and possibly
others, who are easily capable of stop?
ping any man in a 36-hole match. And,
as the game continues its swift
growth and the numerous youngsters
continue to step forward, it is only
a question of a short while before the
amateur championship will be one of
the greatest little scrambles in Amer?
ican sport.
In tennis you can cut the champion?
ship field down to four or five men?
to such stars as Johnston, Tilden, Will?
iams and Murray.
But golf is producing too many brill?
iant players or too many who are
capable of a brilliant round on a given
day. Golf form doesn't run as con?
sistently as tennis form, where, in the
latter game, the variations are far
less.

Boxing Rapidly Gaining Sup?
porters and Champion
snap Meets Expected ?Soon
Boxing as an intercollegiate sport
is rapidly gaining supporters at a
number of colleges and universities
in all parts of the country and cham?
pionship tournaments under revised
ring rules are not at all unlikely within
the next few yesrs. Intervarsity
i bouts between picked boxing teams
! representing Oxford and Cambridge
! universities have been part of the
I annual English sport schedule for
I many years.
It is expected thet such meetings
i will become more frequent as the
I ^oom in boxing gathers ?trength.
| The tendency in this direction is
| shown by a number of recent reports
i of boxing activity among the collegians.
Word comes from Peoria. 111., that tho
j 'Little Conference" has included box?
ing in its list of major sports and
that a championship tournament will
be held next spring.
In the East the University of Penn
I sylvania has long been an ardent ad
I vocate of boxing for the college ath?
lete and has several times suggested
*he formation of an intercoMeg:ato
boxing league. At the present time
! both Pennsylvania and Penn State
; College have the largest squads of
? boxers trying for the teams in tho
i history of the sport. Both squads are
i under the instruction of competent;
: coaches, and there will be a dual tour?
nament early in the spring between
the two institutions, as was the casa
i in 1919.
Dartmouth and other colleges in tha
! East have engaged boxing coaches and
plan intramural tournaments, with tho
possibility of broader activity within
?. a year or two. Last week the National
Collegiate Association adopted a reso
1 lution to have its members add boxing
? to the sport curriculum.
The plan for a set of international
I boxing rules to supersede the anti
i quated Marquis of Queensberry code
i promises to be a subject of consider
j able controversy during the coming
i months. The Army, Navy and Civilian
; Board of Boxing Control in this coun
! try recently sent a representative
abroad with the outline for new regu
! lations. Later it was learned that tho
' International Boxing Federation, a Eu
| ropean organization, was also at work
| on such a set of rules.
It was further learned that there was
j a wide gulf between the proposed codes
and that so far as the European au?
thorities were concerned there was lit?
tle inclination to adopt the American
ideas.
The Amateur Athletic Union has also
i issued a notice to all candidates for
j places on the American Olympic
| games boxing team that the contests
! at Antwerp next summer will be con
j ducted under the English amateur box
