I would rather see this pitch legalized because it is a pitch that when thrown by an expert Barney Deary. Spitter not vicious ended hurler can be precisely controlled. That s the opinion of Barne Deary assistant to the administrator for professional base Ball s Umpire development pro Gram. He s been running the us a eur officials clinic which ends Friday at Rose Barracks sinbad Kreuz . Everyone thinks the spitball is vicious. Really it s not. There Are Only a few pitchers perhaps seven or eight that can really throw the spitter Deary explained. A right hander s spitball acts much As a fastball until it gets near the plate then it s More Likely to Start acting like a curve breaking Down and away from a right handed Batter. The key for Deary is that this pitch can be carefully con trolled. Not so the Emery Ball Shine Ball or vaseline Ball. Those pitches will sail on you and they Are dangerous he Points out. Deary went on to explain som of the places Pitcher stash vase line or ointment or whatever in Back of their right knee in the crease of their Glove on a Ragin their pocket Etc. In his opinion baseball s new spitter Rule which caused so much controversy in Earl Spring training games was improperly written. It provided thata Pitcher get one warning for going to his Mouth with the  Ond incident meaning automatic expulsion. What happens to a Pitcher who goes to his Mouth once in the first or second inning the does it again in the ninth with a no hitter going for him. People would be up in arms Over  a thing As  feels that the present adaptation of calling a Ball Ever time a Pitcher goes to his Mouth is much More  a Pitcher however directly spits into his Glove or onto his hand or the Ball he still faces a new Umpire for every pitch by Don Sauer staff writer bad Kreuz  Germany is in Case there is any doubt in the minds of sport enthusiasts umpires incredible As it May seem Are human aft Rall.

He was 75.father travers a Jesuit priest was the College kid the Detroit tigers recruited among others to play against the Philadelphia athletics Here when the tigers refused to play because of the sup Union of Obb. Cobb was suspended for hitting an abusive fan in the stands. The tigers manage ment facing a forfeit a $5,000 Fine and possible loss of it franchise recruited a Bevy of Sand Lotters for the game wit the Champion athletics. Travers then assistant base Ball manager at St. Joseph s College was among the group which believed it was Only to show at the Park. But there were 20,000 fans in the Stan Sand Connie Mack insisted the game to , who later became widely known As an educator was to play right Field for the pick up team but became the Pitcher when it was explained whoever went to the Mound would be paid $50. It was the first game he Over  held the athletics to 25 hits. Ten of the 24 runs were unearned. The pseudo tigers scored twice.

Questioned by a clinic students to what pitchers today use h spitter he replied with a big smile lug i really Don t  likes the new image that has come to umpiring in recent years and he credits his bossed Doherty for much of the credit. Doherty s first move upon Tak ing his present position four years ago was to obtain a goo increase in salary. He s been responsible for getting reimburse ment or payment for transportation costs and other benefits he Smade the profession attractive to the Young  these Days Are intelligent they speak on to an radio they present a neat clean shaven appearance. In the old Days they called the ump a bum and in Man cases he fit the image. He was sometimes unshaven and every third word was a  uniform was baggy and in  a Good barometer on How the thinking of potential umpires has changed is provided by the so called mortality rate. It used to be that 30 to 40 per cent quit shortly after starting in one of the recognized Umpire schools. Now that rate is Down to eight per cent Deary claims. No assaults another sure sign of improve ment since Doherty has take hold of the program there has not been a single Case where a Umpire has been assaulted by some disgruntled fan. Also player and manager coach ejections have been sliced two thirds. Everyone goes along with a Little give and take because after All its entertainment for the fans. Deary Points out that  tary Community has been an increasingly bigger contributor to the profession saying that Man men get out of the service and enter one of the schools and end up with a professional contract. Another phase of Deary s Job and that of his Boss is try ing out things that May Speed up and make the game More in  of the things being experimented with Are a require ment that a Batter stay in Nebo once he has stepped to the plate. Another is requiring All Pinch hitters to be in the dugout eliminating a lengthy delay Onue a Catcher is called from the due p Aiso it s a possibility that a Batter May not be permitted to request that the Umpire examine Ball which has occurred As often As 20-25 times a  closed with a bit or a vice for the umpiring Candi ate to remember in a tight situation 1.
