The results of early training and abuses in the ring will bring about mental, perhaps physical, injuries if there is not close supervision over their conditioning and their Performances in the ring.” In the heyday of ring prosperity, Kid Howard’s establishment was the training quarters for Freddie Welsh, Jack Dempsey, Jess Wil- Jard, Benny Leonard, Kid Herman, Jimmy Wild, Gene Tunney, Harry Greb, and in fact every outstand- ing fighter of the day.

And yet this greatest of all trick deliveries is ready for its fadeout. There is some doubt about the ori- gin of the spitter. The accepted story is that of George Hildebrand, veteran American League umpire. George broke into baseball as an outfielder in an eastern league. One; day he noticed a kid pitcher, Frank Corridon, moisten his fingers and throw a ball that took a funny hop. George and Corridon practiced that ball until they had it under their con- | trol. **e 8 Corridon never achieved great fame as @ spitball artist, but Elmer Strick- lett did. Elmer lost his job as a Sa- cramento pitcher, but got it back again when Hildebrand, then a catch- er, taught him how to throw the spit- ter.

Chesbro used it to win 41 games in one season, and Ed became the most effective artist ever to fling the moist pill. Until 1919, the spitter was the bane {of all hitters. They hit mighty pop fouls to the catcher, or bounced puny punches for easy infield chances. That year, however, big league mo guls, fearing the quality of pitching and its effect on the batters would rob the game of its color, decided to ban the spitter in 1920.

This plan protects school, coach and player. Ability tests can be a very valuable aid to the coach if he can plan his practice to allow time for them. They can be used as practice exercises in mastering fundamentals. Several tests were designed by C. V.
