Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 210, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 20 September 1917 — USING SPITBALL TOO MUCH [ARTICLE]

USING SPITBALL TOO MUCH

Delivery Is All Right When Used Properly—Cheney of Brooklyn Overdoes the Thing. The spitball is all right when it is used property and in a limited manner. Cheney, the big pitcher on the staff of the Robins, seems to be using that ball too much. For that reason he often loses control of the ball. It gets wet and soggy. and. like a girl who has Jus* washed her halt, you can’t do a thing with it.
