Pitcher Jack Quinn of the Boston Red Sox stands out as one of. base- balls greatest athletes. | After 22 years of pitching, a great- er part of it in the major leagues, Quinn is apparently as good as he 'Over was. His work has featured the sensational showing of the Boston Red Sox in the early stages of the 1924 American League race. Quinn is a spitball pitcher. It is his ace in the hole, He has good speed and a sharp curve, but the old spitter is still his one best bet. The spitball is generally regarded 88 the hardest of all deliveries | { | | Billy Evans Says-- Every major league season furn- ishes some outstanding feature--the big surprise. The Philadelphia Athletics provid- ed the greatest thrill of 1923. For the first two months of the season it furnished compétition for the cham- pion Yankees, then wilted. The Boston Red Sox of 1924 have taken the place of the Athletics of 1923 Just at present Lee Fohl's team is the sensation of the majors, a pitcher's arm. The career of most pitchers using the moist ball has been short, Quinn is a decided ex- ception as far <oncerned. as such a theory is : Never Had Sore Arm. "I have. never had a sore arm in my life," remarked Quinn to me re- cently when I asked him if the con- stant use of the spitball had bother- ed him, "The spitball is no harder on the &rm than the curve or fast ball if thrown properly," continued Quinn. "Most spitball pitchers have al- Ways worked .on the theory that to Bet a sharp downward break on the ball it is necessary to let it go with Will the Red Sox shortly curl up and seek a restful place in the second division as did the Athletics last year? The Sox finished last in 1923. I do not look for the Red Sox to fail so dismally as did the Athletics, The Boston club has a batting punch that the Mackmen lacked.
