same small men have made great
pitchers. the pitchers usually are the
tallest and largest men on all teams.
Height, reach and than: of shoulder
are great assets on‘the 'eluh. Speed
is the first requisite of a pitcher. Give
a, boy good height and weight and
good speed and it is always pOssiblc
that he will make a good pitcher. if;
on the other hand, a boy has not got...
speed. there is no use in his trying
to be a pitcher. You can increase ,
speed lay good coaching, but you can’t
mnfer speed. Yen can teach curves,
change of pace. control, how to field,
etc, but you can’t impart speed. ‘That
must be natural. If a boy gives prom-
nverage speed he is worth working
with. if he has not got naturulWSpeed
it is scare worth his while to learn
to pitch. Small men who have made
great pitchers have been mostly loft-
hamlets. Kraus, who pitched for the
