Rommel had his usual assortment of speed and curves but just couldn't win consistently, He simply didn’t get the breaks. This season with the Athletics out in front, riding high on the crest of popularity, Rommel appears all set for a year that will outdo his 1922 perforr ance, j “Perfect Pitching Poise There is no more interesting pitcher to watch in the American league than Ed Rommel.

Knuckle Ball Effective Cy Perkins of the Athletics, one of the game's greatest catchers, tells me that his main thought is to break the ball down rather than catch it, With runners on the bases in a position to steal, it is almost foolhardy to use the knuckle ball, because of the difficulty experienced by the catcher in holding it tomel has good speed, tho not of the Dazzy Vance type.
