When Ed Walsh was a pitcher he was “bad news” for the umpire. Walsh depended almost entirely on a deceptive spitball for success. was a difficult ball to judge. The former star of the White Sox was always blessed with uncanny ggg To use the slang of the ball field, he could make the pill be- ave. _A spitball, to be troublesome, must break low. Walsh could throw nine out of ten spitters right at the knee. The low ball is the one that} makes trouble for the umpire. ' That is one reason why Walsh was always “bad news” for the umpire. A ball is a strike if it crosses the plate at a height between the knee and the shoulder. When Walsh's spitter crossed the plate it was’ usually at the knee, " The deceptive spitter is the ball that breaks sharply. Walsh’s spitter, as it crossed the plate, would be snapping downward. After such a ball passed the plate, and was caught by the backstop, it would usually be but a few inches off the ground. A ball so delivered, according to the rules, is a strike. It usually was so called by the umpire. Incidentally he was in hot water most of the game. Nothing makes an umpire look more foolish than to call a strike when the ball is finally caught only a few inches from the ground. All players and most fans give little or no consideration to the height of the ball as lit crosses the plate, They invariably follow the delivery to its completion and judge the height on the way it is received by the catcher. pi nT lala MA The spitball has always How Ed Walsh |been regarded as a difficult Looked When ball to judge.
