D REULBACH, who for three years led all the pitchers in the country and who for @ much longer period was accounted one of the greatest of boxmen, always was a surprising fellow, If ever there was Apitcher who ddded the dash of un- certainty to baseball it was the big Notre Dame boy who, as a green youth, astonished the National League with his speed and curve, Every time he pitched a ball game there was something doing, No game was won until jt was absolutely over No matter wNat the score, After pitching with perfect control Reul- bach suddenly would appear to go wild and unless -yatked off the slab would throw away his game. Oddly enough, when Reulbach seemed wild- est, the ball, usually missed the cor- ner of thé plate only a few inches, We students of the gume and his fellow players used to speculate as to the cause. Some declared ‘he was faint-hearted, Once one fellow de- clared he was yellow-—and immedi- ately discovered his inistake. We blamed nervousness, we declared his arm got tired, every angle poss ever knew the truth—excepting Reul- bach. Now I know tt, REULBACH TELLS HIS STORY. I met Big Ed on the street the other day. He is an important man in the industrial world now, winning a bigh ace for himself, but he has the same boven smile and manner and except- ing a few gray hairs that came during is baseball career he is as young. He laughed after ‘the greeting and remarked: “T've been intending to tell you something for a long time. I had so many good laughs to myself about you and the other fellows that I really ought to tell you. I know you used to think I was @ nut when I laughed while Chance raved and scolded, but if you had known the facts you would have laughed harder than I did. Did you ever figure out what made me wild?” “No, I usually was wild myself by the time you got through passing batters—and Chance was wilder than both of us. What was it?” “Did you ever notice,” he went on, “how many hits went past me to the left that I didn’t knock down?” “Yes. We used to say you threw yourself out of position and couldn't ‘back to ston anything.” “You remember a line hit that hit me on the shoulder once and lost a game?” “I remember how Chance howled over it.” “Look at that left eye.” I looked. The right eye 16 clear, deautiful, sparkling, a fine eye. The left is a trifle smiller and, if exam- ined closely it seems a trifle duller, slightly lacking in the sparkle of the other. “I never noticed that, Ed," I re- marked, surprised, “Living with you day and night for half a dozen years I never noticed the eyes were not quite mates, What is the trouble?” “T never could see well out of that eye.” ‘The secret was out. He laughed. “That left eye has been weak ever THE EVENING WORD, REIGN FIGHTERS WILL show yma HOLES IN THE ocean VISITING THER AMERICAN EL OORADS | a Ruelbach Was “One- »-Eyed” Pitcher, but No One Knew About It While He Played the Bink, @o I kept it a scoret. May- you noticed that I never read a ha or a book or magazine. Tho reason was that I didn't dare rpad without glasses for fear of hurt- ihg the good eye. I didn't want Chance to find out, 80 I bluffed at glancing over a paper, and at night I'd slip up to my room, lock myself in and put on my glasses to read. If any one came up, I'd hide the glasses, “There were times when the weak eye was worse than usual, especially on hot, glary days, or when dust was blowing on the field. At those times the other eye was not at its best. “Many a day I've been out there guessing where tho home plate was and not daring to ask the catcher to make a mark for me to shoot at with his ‘h4nds. I couldn't see the plate.” “It's a God's mercy those batters] didn't know you were: pitching blind,” I exclaimed, remembering his terrifle speed. “Lots of times,” he went on, “tho sweat and heat would affect the good eye and I'd have to figure where the pinte was, I would locate where I thought it was and pitch at it. Some- times when I had the best control in the world I'd pitch ball after ball at the same spot, just off the corner. “I used to use my curve In a pinch because my catcher usually held his hands on the ouwlde cornet of the knew where to break the ball. So you bonehead reporters would write that I lost control of the fast one and used curves to make sure to get them over ; i DUST CLOSED Goop EYE. “In the early spring, before the weak eye got used to the strain of pitching, I had a bad timo of it. Tsater in the season I had better luck. “I remember in that twenty-one inning game against Philadelphia, late In the game, a piece of dust blew Into my good eye in the middle of the inning. I got it out, but it blurred my vision. That was about the toughest situation I ever was in. I stalled and told Kling my eyes hurt, and made him rub off the plate with his mitt and get the light colored dust all over the mitt, then fold the flat of the mitt up, That 3 about all I could see, but it was a mark to pitch at, and I shot at tt for two innings before I could seo well again. “T don't think any one on the team ever suspected me excepting Sheck- ard He caught me reading * with glasses once, but he was a good old scout and kept quiet about it. “The weak eye has been much bet- ter since I quit baseball and can wear glasses without being afraid of being caught, but it was worth while to slip it over and keep you bonehead reporters gucasing for cight years. Also it was a good thing that some of those opposing teams didn't know fot I coukin't see balls hit to my tana, oh known"-— The big fellow rocked with laughter at the idea.
