Overview

"How ""Joe"" Tinker Changed Overnight from a Weakling at the Plate to the Worst Batter I Had to Face-""Fred"" Clarke of Pittsburg cannot be Fooled by a Change of Pace, and ""Hans"" Wagner's Only ""Groove"" Is a Base on Balls-""Inside"" Information on All the Great Batters. I have often been asked to which batters I have found it hardest to pitch. It is the general impression among baseball fans that Joseph Faversham Tinker, the short-stop of the Chicago Cubs, is the worst man that I have to face in the National League. Few realize that during his first two years in the big show Joe Tinker looked like a cripple at the plate when I was pitching. His ""groove"" was a slow curve over the outside corner, and I fed him slow curves over that very outside corner with great regularity. Then suddenly, overnight, he became from my point of view the most dangerous batter in the League."
