TIMELY TIPS —to — AM A TEURS SAYS HERB PEN NOOK. Pitcher. New York Yankee* . r ' i L'T sonic thought back of every .ID j ball you bitch. Work carefully. I * I Never give up hopes of win i ning, regardless of the score. Give : your best at all times and wait for the breaks, trusting they will come 'your way. Ii is at. easy matter to pitch confidently when you arc out in front. The i>ig thing is to pitch courageously when things are hr'-aking badly, when the oppositioi is hitting your stuff, when the breaks are going the I other war\ , I think the sixth game of the world ! series of 1923 best illustrates my point. In the early innings. Babe (tilth ' hit a home run off Nehf. Then he settled and until the eighth inning , was invincible. j On the other hand, the Giants were hitting nv hard throughout :he game and had piled up a fairly comfortable I margin of three runs, going into the I linal innings. If 1 had pitched carelessly the j Giants might have made a dozen runs. | Despite the fact I was being hit bard. I kept plugging away hoping for a big break. It came in the eighth inning, when the Yankees made five runs, deciding the game and series. New Pitching Motion Pitcher Ferguson of the Red Sox has added anew move to his pitch ing delivery. He wiggles the hand as if waving at you. when the pitching arm is high in the air. The idea, of course, is to confuse ihe batter. Notre Dame—l. U.
