Daly Gives Advice.

Tom Daly, once a leading National league catcher, who la coaching the Yankees’ pitchers, says the secret of good box work Is putting the ball over or near the corners of the plate as often as possible. Daly goes back Into .baseball history to prove that the greatest pitchers were those who mastered control and always kept the batsman In the hole. He says that a curver who gets two strikes on a batter with as many pitched balls, holds the whip hand, whereas the boxman who finds himself In a fix with "three and two” usually comes to grief when he puts the next one over. "Get a grip on the man at the plate right off the reel," says the veteran coach, “and he’ll do the worrying, not you.”
