PAGE 12 Lively Baseball and Short Fences Changing Mound Style BY BILLY EVANS HE day of the fast ball pitcher has passed. No longer can the twirler with blinding speed alone make the grade in the majors. Not so many years ago speed was considered the greatest asset of a successful pitcher. Speed is still to be desired, but is no longer the dominating factor in a pitcher's success HY the change? Charge it to the “rabbit ball” and the short fences, While most of the modern ball rks have a tremendous seating capacity, few have so large a playing field as was the ‘case 15 or 20 years back. Also in those days the ball in use was far less lively. Most of the crack major league batters of today dote Just Pork = and Beans| | BY PAUL MALLON SAY, IVE Gor-TH!

When Naylor came to the Athletics he boasted a great fast ball and a good curve. Yet for a number of years he met with only ordinary sue F Naylor worked constantly to increase his stuff. He finally perfected a good change of pace, a slow curve and a half speed ball. I have seen Naylor win ball games this year in which he didn’t throw a dozen fast balls, yet at one time that was his stock in trade. It is nice to have a fast ball that a pitcher can shoot across every now and then to let the batsman know he still has one. Yet to be a big winner, the modern pitcher must have far more than a mere fast ball, As a matter of fact the fast ball these days is more or less used as a threat, World’s Greatest Rifle Shots to Compete Soon Camp Perry Is to Stage World's Title Event; Yankees Are Holding the Much-Prized Palma Trophy at the Present Time 2 AMP PERRY, 0O., July 18.—Zing! “It's a bull’s-eye.” They'll be saying it here soon in a score or more tongues.
