It may be that Ly Joyce or Humphreys or Lar chacht will display enouzh cla arrant his retention at the expen: of one of the favored 10, but that re- | mains ot be seen. Morrell is a sizable chap of feet in height and weighing pounds, who makes his home in Wayland, Mass., where he was born 25 years ago. e is a right-hander, | with sandy hair which borders on to | ved and has the looseness of action in | his delivery which usually distin- xuishes a good flinger from a poor one.

Youngsters Impressive Although several inches shorter and many poungs lighter than Thoma there are at least two things. that Kelley has in common with him, one Leing youth and the other a sort of radeaway delivery that is expected to L the chief asset of both in their chosen profésion. While Thomas is a southpaw and Kelley # right-hande; Wl they use slightly different | methods in manipulating the pellet, cach boasts of a floater that is ex- tremely hard to hit, and it is this | which causes them to be s. highl valued. This delivery variously referred to as a fingernail ball and a knuckler, but whatever its name bats men are agreed that it is a difficult thing to correctly guase. Where Thomas hus the edge on Kelley it is in the possession of a barrel of speed as well as the mak- ings of a good curve, Harry having no fast ball worthy of the name. Kach hias proved his gameness in tight sit vations, Kelley in particular having | given several exhibitions of cool | headedness under fire. With both the question of their es- tablishment as big league fixtures | cepends largely on the element of | control. While steadier at hiz age than most fork-handers all of whom seem to be naturally a bit wilder than their orthodox brethren “Thomas has considerable polish to a quire in the art of placing his pitche and in the case of Kelley there is 1o question but that his future hinges on his ability to make alien hitters offer at the sailer he manipulates, for he hasn't enough in his repertoire sside from that to get by on. Knuckler Real Puzzie. That it is possible for # flinger 10 achieve notable success with little stock in trade aside from a knuckle Il has been demonstrated conclu- cely in the case of Edwin Amerjcus Jiommel of the' Athletics. Rommell akes no effort to disguise the fact hat he is employing his pet puzzler, o If he tries he doesn’t succeed. When he propels one of those shoots plate- rd, it is_apparent to every player in ixe parx. His delivery Is tele- -raphed by the manner in which he Jolds the ball. It is as if hg eaid ““Here t is; try and hit it.” They try because x 1 Dossesse on outweighs he gets it over, but they don't often succeed.
