SAMGRAY NEW PTGHING ACE Athletics Pin Hopes to Hurler Boosted by Dopesters Giants n oppose Is at The (Copyright, 1925, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, May 8—Sam Gray, pitch for the Phiadelphia Ath- letics, is beginning to come down the pike. Canny. critics he is as likely to come through and hold the Athletics high up {fn the battle as Groves, the left hander whom Connie Mack took from Baltimore price that has been quoted as high as: $100,000. | Gray is the smoothest bit of pitch- machinery today that, there is pague baseball—for his is only an {nfant tn ex nee. Shocker, Sam Jones, Art Grover Alexander and others put ft all over him for years 1 thinning hair, but if they don’t look out, Gray will be right up with them for cunning and sagacity. The pitching motions) of this young man are among the joys of che present... He has that easy, frictionless shoulder movement that the great ‘pitcher must have to be great. He lets the ball get away with so little perceptible effort and such, conscious assurance that he {s certain of its destination, that it {s x joy to see him perform, He can curve and he can change pace. He can overhand and he can underhand. te has a very easy long arm motion hat is based.on an underhand foun- dation which swings the ball under the batter's nose much as Carl Mays could swing !t when he was at his best. Tt is very hard to hit that kind of ball. Gray ‘won a brace of 1925 games from Boston right off the reel, but he didn’t get the credit for that which was his due, because there are so many people who think « pitcher that doesn't win a brace of games from Boston has an affec- tion in his talent. After the Boston victories; Gray won a brace from the New York Giants and that was something else, especially as the Yan%s were out to gather a couple of much needed victories at his expense.
