TWO SPITBALL HURLERS STAND OUT QUITE PROMINENTLY THIS SEASON

Two pitchers who use the spitball stand out promlhently with their clubs In the American league. They are Jack Quinn of the Yankees, and Stan Coveleskie of the Indians. In the Nationals no spitball pitcher shines particularly as a leading light. Report has it the spitball pitchers are forming a little organization of their own and will at the meetings of the major leagues next year pray the magnates to lift the ban that is to go on beginning with the 1921 season. Hardly a chance, however, that they will get consideration, says Sporting News. They were given a full season to reform in, and if they can’t make it, that’s their misfortune.
