The case of Pitcher €arl Mays Is a shin- Ing example, M for years a star in the American leagtie, waived out of the organization last year, goes to the National and is a wonder. Few pitchers in the older league have met with more success during | the 1924 campaign. During Mays' carecr in the Amer- l‘tcnn league, 1 worked scorés of | games in which he pitched. T regard | him as one of the greatest pitchers | T ever wimpired for. | Mayg, when at the top of his game {had a fast ball that broke down af- | ter the manner of & spitter. He had |a curve ball that worked up and‘out. Mays delivers the ball with an un- derhand delivery. His peculiar style |of pitching is as much an asset as his stuff. At times he shifts to a sidearm delivery just to upset the opposition. During his last two yeafs in the American league, Mays seemed {o have lost his fast ball. This was his ace In the hole. The moment American league batters became aware of it they hugged the plate, no longer fearing the fast one —stepped into the curve, x Good pitchers are mighty scarce. The fact that every American league club waived on Mays, made it evident that the various managers believed him through. Cincinnati, T am told, was the only National lcague club desirous of taking a chance. When ~ Mays joined the National 1 figured he would trouble the opposition for a time, more be- | cause of his peculiar delivery than his stuff. Always the possessor of good con- trol, Mays keeps his underhand ball knee high, making it a hard ball to |time or hit effectively. Few pitch- lcrs use such a delivery, hence the hatter gets little or no chance to become familiar with the underhand style. However. T feared that after a {time Mays would have his troubles winning., unless there was a return | of the fast ball that made him such an effective pitcher in the American league. National league umpires tell me {that Mays has far more than the average speed, that lis fast ball dips as of old. | Mays has been sn successful in the | National league. . The fast ball, miss- ing his last two vears in the Ameri- can, has returned. For a time Mays was the only underhand pitcher in the major |1eagues. However, in the last vear a half have come up to the big show boast- ing the subway style of delivery. OFFICTIAL SCORER Waterbury. Sept. 18.—Clarence J.

Tunney, punching rately and effectively, possibly was entitled to the shade in the opinien of the experts. Greb fought his characteristic battle, bounding around the ring like a rubber ball, and throwing punches frem every angle. Tunney centered his attack on Greb's body, punishing him wih ripping right and left hooks at clote quarters, He made Greb hreak ground hall a dozen times with right smashed under the heart, rohbing the Pitts- burger of his speed, Although they fought a furiows pace, neither was damaged. Tunney left the ring with only a slight cut on the forehead as a result of com- ing in contact with Greb's head in the clinches, ¢ Thig was their fourth engagement, Tunney having twice defeated Greh after losing to the middleweight titieholder the first time. Greb scaled about 166 pounds while Tunney's weight was near 175. GOLFING EXPERTS RACTIGING ToDAY Olympic Sept. 18.
