Text | Of all the old-time pitchers who were stars under the straight-arm delivery but one survives as a curvist. Bobby Matthews is that one. He was among the first to adopt the curve, and for ten years he was one of the most successful and effective of pitchers. Bobby finally fell a victim to the prevailing complaint and last season it was only on very warm days that he was able to pitch at all, and then not over two games a week. This year the same complaint troubled the veteran, and finally led to his release by the Athletic Club. A judicious course of treatment has once more put Matthews into good shape, and he says he anticipates at least five years more of usefulness out of his pitching arm. |
