WHAT THE YOUNG BALL PLAYER WANTS TO KNOW| e a2 ¥ Juhn ¥_did not speed up in 1827 II—The Importance of the Catcher's hand t! Style of Throwing. i OUTHFUL catchers soon learn to | attach considerable importance | to their throwing arms. They frequently ask questions con- | cerning their style of deli T cn bases. One young catcher asks “How do you bring your arm behind your ear when vou throw from the catcher’s position to sec- ond base® How do you smap it forward® Do you follow through like a pitcher when Me completes his pitch, thereby getting vour shoul- der and weight behind the throw? Do you take one step forward or try to throw the ball from a squat- ting position?” The overhand throw is not natural It would | | time they Back in 1880—nearly a half rpnlu;\' the erhand throw was a “luxury™ It w seldom seen. Almost all throwers were side-arm throwers. Some “jerked” the | ball better and farther than they could throw it. The count had not then begun to develop the army of young men who can throw so accurately as the | young Americans of today. The present | day American boy's throwing, by the way. is the admiration of the English public, which fails to see much skill like it in its own game of cricket. | Bringing your arm behind your ear may seem little enough to do to a thrower who is naturally an overhand & hrower. It means a iot to the boy who began to throw with a side-arm motion and finds it hard to be- come a true overhand thrower. To beg ng to become an over- hand thrower, use a long arm swing over the shoulder until the motion be. al. Then the motion can be .

The writer got a peck at the lawyer-battler in one of the preliminaries to the J Dempscy-Gene Tunney affair at Chics last September and was impressed by the case with which Armand handled George La Rocco. The coast scrapper scored two knockdowns over La Roceo and gave a well rounded exhibition of | clever mancuvering and punching power. Previous to this the writer had a talk | with George Blake, who then had Fidel La Barba, flyweight champion, under | his wing. Blake recounted the doings of Armand in an exhibition agamst | Dempsey.

In his first starts against the heavy- weights Delaney didn't do so well, losing decisions” to_Jim Maloney and Johnny Risko. If he has as bad luck this time he'll probably be willing to fight me for the 175-pound crown next Summer. It's a bout that would draw a tremendous gate. Next to a fight with Tunney I would welcome one with Delaney above anything, I'm so sure of the result. t 1928, by North American News- paner Alhance.)
