As & matter of fact, for several years strike-out feats have not ‘Seen so frequent as eight or ten years ago. This despite the alleged Smpremacy of the pitchers, due largely to freak deliveries. 1 think the strike-out honors for 1920 in the majors go to Pitcher ~ Utban Sod::ra“nf the ftt._ Louis 'Bmwlfe& Shotikcr is oé\e(hnf the fev:' ‘rl:- m lers 1n e American ague. umpire e game a e - Polo Gro?x;ds last summer in which Sl;‘:cker wh‘x)fied foungecn of the Striking out fourteen on a major Yeagus club 15 some feat, but when you down that many on a club that Doasted of as many good hitters as New York are stepping some. It is quite to cause such sluggers as Lewis, Pipp, Ward, Bodie, Peckinpaugh, Pratt, and all the others to whiff. ‘Whitfts Ruth Three Times. Tt 15 not unusual for Ruth to strike out once during a game. He usually ‘whiffs once and sometimes he takes his three cuts twice in a game. However, Ruth seldom strikes out three times in game. That is what happened to king of sluggers in the game in which Shocker struck out fourteen. ‘That is some feat to be proud of, in addition to eleven other Yankees who “succumbed on strikes. Perhaps the strangest. part of the per- formance was the fact that Ruth swung at eight of the nine strikes. Only one was called by the umpire. Even more ‘was the fact that in his first three trips to the plate Ruth didn't even make a foul. He missed the eight balls he struck at. You cannot imagine how supposed to be weak on a slow ball that is kept low. Each time Shocker whiffed Ruth he used a slow ball, perfectly controlled, for the third strike. Twice the count was three and two. It takes nerve and good control to slip up the slow one in the pinch. Shocker proved he was that kind of pitcher, and each time Ruth cooled the stands and caused the earth to tremble by taking a terrific swing and missing. The last time he faced Shocker he lined a single to right. Shocker's per- formance came in the first game of a double-header. Carl Weilman faced Ruth in the second, and he added to the disgust of Ruth by striking him out the first two times up, making five out of six. As Ruth walked away from the plate he mumbled to him- self, “No one else will ever strike me out with that bat,” and he broke it in two on the concrete steps of the dug- out. When you consider it was Ruth’s favorite bat you can imagine his state of mind. Simply Outguesses Babe. Shocker is rated as a spit ball pitcher. The moist delivery is sup- posed to be his one best bet. The most remarkable thing about his perform- ance against the Yankees was that he used the spit ball sparingly. In striking out Ruth three times I don’t believe he threw more than three spit balls. He was simply outguéssing Ruth with a fast one and his change of pace. His tantalizing slow ball was his most effective weapon. Ruth was constantly looking for the spitter and getting few of them. (Copyright, 1921.) i §3 the more bitter. Shocker once . belonged to New York, was traded to St. Louis, and now his chief delight is beating New York. Worked Batters to Limit. In striking out Ruth three times and# causing fourteen of the opposing players to whiff, Shocker gave an exhibition that proves brain is as necessary as brawn to do the big things. He worked every batter to the limit. He took ad- vantage of every weakness. Against Ruth his work was marvelous.
