Cincinnati and Rcdlegs manager Birdie lebbetts Said Tebbetts know hes throwing spitter but cant prove it Birdie went on to relate that nobail could do what Burdettes pitches do unless iodclied up The erstwhile pilot went on to say that he knew it was spitter because he had lot of experience with it during his own playing days Thats where Birdie hurt hiscaselfMr Giles had any doubts about what Burdette is or isntvthrovving he had only toremember that Birdie was part of spitball battery by his own admission so why not Burdctle Nothings been proven about news pitches So while Burdette and his
