Give Young vim pointers? His dad shakes his head. “He doesn't pitch anything like me,” he says, “He’s more like his uncle, Clarence (Pop Boy) Smith, who played in the Southern I.eague and I think a little while for Cleve- land. He's a fastball . pitcher with some curve. Mine was mostly curve- ball pitching.” The elder Bagby thinks young Jim needs more control and a better curve—adds that “he'd better start now, ‘cause he’ll never learn any younger.” Elbow Injury a Handicap An elbow injury, suffered when he was about 14 years old, may have some effect on the boy’s pitching, his dad says. Young Jim, himself, says the injury caused by an im- mature effort to pitch .a sharp- breaking curve—probably affects his fast ball more than anything. “If T .could straighten -my ‘ arm completely,” he explains. “I guess I could get more speed, but otherwise it doesn’t bother me.” Both think the trend in baseball is toward “taking the pitcher out of the game.” “Why, complains young Jim, Today nearly every team has & half- | “they’re even talking about letting |dozen.
