Text	Clarkson, on being asked the secret of his success, said: “Simply a little head work. Do you know there never was a batsman who didn't have some one weakness? No matter how good a batter, there will be some kind of a ball, in some one place, that he can't hit. Now, when I face a player I have never pitched against before I begin experimenting until I find out what his weakness is. I remember, ti, and always afterward know how to work him. Of course, some days you can't put the ball where it won't be hit safely, but that is the scheme I go on, and it has worked well. You know I can pitch pretty well against the Detroits. The main reason is I have studied them more closely than most of the other players because they are such terrible sluggers.
